In the members loop you can use: bp_get_member_user_id() to get the id

It’s not well documented, I remember spending a while tracking through the code to find it.

Then, yes, you can use that ID to fetch […]

You’ll lose your amendments as soon as you upgrade BuddyPress – it’s not a good practice to be hacking core files.

The safest way to address this one, would be to add a filter on: […]

@enderandrew – yes – there are quite a few sites now going with the tiled approach, e.g. the ‘new’ look Facebook friends page tiles 3 per row, and linkedIn has some tiled directories (with the profile tiles […]

@aminima – we undertake that sort of complex development work on a commercial basis, almost invariably as part of full site builds. We contribute on the forums to give general advice and guidance, and sometimes […]

@mercime – yes, I paid them a lot of money to feature that video on the home page – I knew you’d appreciate it 🙂

Thanks Tammy et al – the graphic design was done by Rebecca – she also produced the Hello Eco Living and Bitsy designs amongst others. I’ll make sure she checks in on the feedback.

Hi Shane – thanks for the feedback.

The site has now passed 75,000 members, but traffic has scaled back with the pausing of a business funding competition. There are some other new features coming online in […]

Hi there –

BP does bring a lot of additional queries into the mix, so can increase load (sometimes dramatically as you’ve experienced).. but often there are optimisations you can try to overcome this (some server […]

We have job postings and different user roles running on a couple of our BuddyPress based websites.

Essentially though, it’s a task that requires a skilled developer, rather than being a simple […]

You’ve also got the problem that a lot of the API isn’t clean – it churns out presentation HTML (targeted for the bp-default theme) rather than just performing function (as you’d hope).

So, as well as adding […]

Just doing the plain: remove_action call in bp-custom.php isn’t working for me either on 1.5.n

Instead, to get it to work, put the remove_action call in a hook on init in your […]

@boonebgorges – the sites go out to clients, so it’s not good to have warning messages littering wp-admin
