BuddyPress.org

You can get the password out of the db but it’s not safe.

why the need, users rarely change a password?

it’s a security check but if you must

echo password into field and make field hidden.

your members directory list doesnt show all members?

Double check. This only happens if a BuddyPress component is added. A theme can add components.

It’s most likely the same code in both versions. If it’s true it’s a bug but you could always create your own widgets.

Search page? There is no Search component. Is that a plugin you installed to add a search component?

create a file in your theme with this directory structure.

yourtheme/buddypress/members/register.php

you can copy this file over from the buddypress plugin folder under bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php

Edit the file to your liking.

This site runs bbPress which is not help desk software. Don’t feel obligated to answer topics of a user that doesn’t provide enough information.

Most people who come here are new to support forums and might not know everything in a mandatory list. I posted that topic as a guideline to at least provide some information.

You can probably use the Achievements plugin for this. Create three Achievements one for each type and then set them to award after X amount of activity.
