Getting complaints about the site being very slow to load from different parts of the world.
It’s loading fast for me. It will all depend on the connection. Could be there are still some who are still using dial-up connections in some parts of the world I imagine. Check out your site speed https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/
I think the problem is that they never get a sent an email with their account details (username and password) when they join.
You mean they don’t receive an activation email? They should already know what their username and password is because that’s required when you register.
Have you checked whether it’s your site that’s not sending the activation email or whether it’s their email service provider (gmail,yahoo,hotmail,aol,etc) that’s blocking your email and/or sending it to user’s spam folder?
I’d like to throw out the “groups-loop.php” sidebars forum groups and so on,
when removed <php getsidebars, widgets removed
@patrykos360 just to clarify, do you want to remove the sidebar only for all the groups components including the group forums? Or for all BP components?
@patrykos360 Great. Marking this topic as resolved.
@shanebp Thank you. Fortunately, bp template pack no longer needed come BP 1.7 🙂
Haven’t completed transferring many more bp template pack tutorials for posterity there yet 🙂
@patrykos360 please read the instructions carefully 😀
RE header-buddypress.php you must post the code I gave at the BOTTOM, below all other code. What you did is paste the code at the TOP of file which is a no-no
RE sidebar-buddypress.php the second code must be posted at the BOTTOM, below ALL OTHER code. What I see is that you placed it before the closing !– end sidebarSubnav and !– end sidebar which is incorrect.
@patrykos360 it doesn’t take long, just the time to do the process. More than that though, remembering to post the link to the tutorial 🙂 http://wp.me/p1I84P-4p
@ajim808 It’s working in current WP/BP versions. Have you tried re-uploading BuddyPress plugin manually e.g. via s/FTP? Have you tried deactivating plugins except BuddyPress to see if it’s a plugin conflict?
Please clarify, you want to remove the groups component? You can do that in Settings > BuddyPress > Components, uncheck “User Groups”, click Save and you’re good to go.
@gavpedz maybe something’s getting lost in translation, but you can post activity status updates in the home page of the Group (activity by default) you are already a member of. If you mean otherwise, please explain further.
Is this a new installation? If not, when did the changes show up? What plugins do you have installed? If you change to BP Default theme, does the same behavior show up?
@jimmygibbs you’d have to copy over the HTML structure from your other BP template files e.g. /members/index.php onto the /members/single/activity/permalink.php file which handles the individual activities.
Paste the code used by developer to “create a menu that was only accessible once the member has logged in. He managed to do that however he only had the activity, members, forum and groups page and no profile or messages , friend requests etc now. ”
