have them check their spam folder (and proper host config for sending email – maybe the host has trouble with users sending out spam)

buddypress rules for usernames

`
if ( !validate_username( $user_name ) || in_array( $user_name, (array)$illegal_names ) || $user_name != $maybe[0] )
$errors->add( ‘user_name’, __( ‘Only lowercase letters and numbers allowed’, ‘buddypress’ ) );

if( strlen( $user_name ) < 4 )
$errors->add( ‘user_name’, __( ‘Username must be at least 4 characters’, ‘buddypress’ ) );

if ( strpos( ‘ ‘ . $user_name, ‘_’ ) != false )
$errors->add( ‘user_name’, __( ‘Sorry, usernames may not contain the character “_”!’, ‘buddypress’ ) );

/* Is the user_name all numeric? */
$match = array();
preg_match( ‘/[0-9]*/’, $user_name, $match );

if ( $match[0] == $user_name )
$errors->add( ‘user_name’, __( ‘Sorry, usernames must have letters too!’, ‘buddypress’ ) );
`

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

i believe it is something they are trying to work on/fix https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-org-ninjas/

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

the secondary avatar will try and pull something in for ‘groups’ : ‘blogs’ : ‘friends’ (or defaults to user) then uses the item_id/object to find an avatar setup otherwise the generic one is used.

have a look at the function `bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar` in bp-activity-templatetags.php

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

you can remove it via the filter bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar

or even better just remove this filter that is used in the functions.php
`remove_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_action_pre_meta’, ‘bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars’, 10, 2 );`

@rogercoathup – no idea… seems if a trac report is submitted the request is made if possible. (maybe not enough discussion is made in the ticket comments to counter – generally speaking for any enhancement)

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

some changes added to the avatars in the activity stream
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2578

though i don’t know if related to this problem… what notification? screenshot?

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

there was some changes in 1.2.6 to avatar sizes
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2662

maybe a few instances left out?

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

i think its out of date for awhile now

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

maybe a theme issue? try using the dp-default as a baseline

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

update the db against 1.2.6 – found a bunch of missing hooks – up to 1,261 (give or take a few for dups or dynamics)

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

you could copy the old function and add it to the theme’s function.php file (and probably let the theme author know about it)

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

i believe that function was removed in 1.2.6
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2024

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

i don’t see this on a fresh install (bp-default theme) – possible theme conflict due to new button logic?

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

@bionicclick what is out of date about it – if it works fine on the latest WP/BP? can you report the bugs to me? -> https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

possible but would require some coding. there is a hook `bp_before_activity_loop` in the template before `if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘activity’ ) ) )` loop. one could call bp_has_activities again with a specific activity_id

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

will block all future entries

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/

but you’ll need to remove the previous entries manually

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

you can filter on bp_get_activity_content_body and/or bp_insert_activity_meta

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

could filter on groups_activity_new_forum_post_content but use the `$post_text` param as `$activity_content = bp_create_excerpt( $post_text );`

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

the setting uses the wordpress function get_site_option/update_site_option – do all the other options reset to default as well?

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

looks like something is up with the wordpress.org servers – takes a few refreshes to get the file to download

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

maybe something in the codex, if not then dig around in the file bp-core/bp-core-notifications.php (then each component has instances when adding/removing the notifications)

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

wordpresss but this filter can override the jpeg default (which is 90) `apply_filters( ‘jpeg_quality’, $jpeg_quality, ‘image_resize’ )`

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

“To disable sending activation emails you can user the filter ‘bp_core_signup_send_activation_key’ and return false.”

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

just wrote a plugin but for single wordpress only
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-pending-activations/

[@nuprn1 Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

i think its a hybrid issue – if you update the user via wp-admin – that uses wp_insert_user (maybe the name is being changed or something to trigger the suffix increased that is used in wp instead of the buddypress front-end way)
