@shanebp — yeah, we have s2member on the same sites — and not getting a conflict.

We’re using s2 for the registration forms though (plus a few mods), with gravity picking up on some heavy loading for us on […]

If you are trying to use PHP code inside a page’s content that’s not going to work… you can’t embed the PHP to form your link in the page content as it won’t get processed.

You need to place it either in […]

@shanebp — we use Gravity without problem on a couple of our BuddyPress sites — the fix above repositioning the action has been the only mod we’ve needed to make (other than disabling AJAX form […]

@murasaki — you can implement a count on activity updates from a given user — either by creating a custom activity loop and doing a count on the number of items returned, or doing a database query directly (via […]

I take it you used a developer to develop the code to auto generate the usernames from the email address… what does the developer say about this problem?

On the face of it, it looks like they are applying […]

It’s not available as an option from wp-admin.

It’s possible with some fairly advanced coding – you’d need to be a competent PHP developer:

You could look at using the wp_set_auth_cookie() to auto login […]

try adding this to your theme’s functions.php — there is a known problem with Gravity and BP (should have mentioned this originally!):

function bbg_switch_gf_hooks() {
remove_action(‘wp’, […]

the username and email address on the registration form are sanitized in the function: bp_core_validate_user_signup()

Passwords are passed through wp_hash_password() which I assume does any necessary sanitising […]

You can build this type of site on top of the BuddyPress platform, but it’s custom development work. There’s no ‘off the shelf’ plugin to achieve it.

Members don’t show in the members directory until they’ve logged in to the site. After they’ve logged in for the first time, you will start seeing them in the directory.

I suggest you ask your other […]

Yes, significant chunks of this site don’t work. Particularly those relating to forums. It used to work somewhat better, but a new design was introduced which reduced the functionality.

However, try not to […]

These forums don’t notify people of follow up comments — so, no surprise that Boone didn’t pick up on a further question several months later.

You can try the @username approach in your comment to notify them

For questions 2 and 3 — yes, you can customise these aspects of your site — there are many ways of doing it, and to some extent it depends on the approach you take to developing your site’s theme.

You can […]

Couple of things to look at:

Have you got anything unusual in your wp-config.php or bp-custom.php file, perhaps redefining the site URL or ‘root slug’.

Have you de-activated the components (groups, […]

@frank13 — unfortunately those standard forum features aren’t available on this site, so it’s very difficult to track anything, and questions often get re-asked, and re-answered.

Not sure why the site […]

Do you want to show a gallery of user profile pictures? Or some other type of photo?

It’s sounds you need a developer to work on your general site build, rather than having specific BuddyPress questions.

You can hire a developer by posting here: http://jobs.wordpress.net
You can also try […]

turn off AJAX based submission on your gravity form — does that fix the problem?

Your solution: copying the whole BuddyPress function and changing one line is not the best way to do this.

As I suggested earlier — that BuddyPress function has a filter for the post types it works with: […]

Yes, you have the BuddyPress function to use to get the URL, and the rest (image links) is basic PHP / HTML and / or CSS.

If you are looking to modify your theme, and don’t have a grounding in PHP / HTML / […]
