@shanebp the only problem with substring_index( substring_index( 'Robin van Persie', ' ', 2), ' ', -1 ) is you lose anything after the 2nd delimiter. For example:

substring_index( 'Robin van Persie', ' ', 2)

would return

Robin van

and then

substring_index( 'Robin van', ' ', -1)

would return

van

So in theory, the order returned could…[Read more]

@shanebp thanks for clarifying the changes.

@myg0t Big thanks for adding this to the codex, please don’t be put off by us pestering on the changes 🙂 bp_parse_args greatly simplifies things in terms of not having to have people locate, overload, possibly set up a child theme etc. wp_login is important to ensure you only run your function…[Read more]

“I feel that the ‘reboot’ question is THE question.”

completely agree @shanebp

it will take courage and leadership to make it reality, I hope the BP team can find both because we need to set our sights on the future

@shanebp Thanks, but that’s for an admin and I’m talking about regular members. If a member creates a group and then bans someone, they can’t unban them since that member is kicked and thus removed from the members loop. I think this might be a bug.

last_profile_update( $_GET['user_id'] ) is only a bad thing if you don’t escape $user_id in the SQL statement provided by @shanebp. That’s because $_GET['user_id'] could be tainted as it is received from the browser. In your case, you won’t be doing that. You’ll be providing the user ID yourself so using @shanebp‘s SQL should be absolutely fine.…[Read more]

@shanebp is it worth escaping $user_id in the SQL statement? think you can use the prepare() method for that?

Hi @aakashs

Further to @shanebp‘s post, and your question about 3m users, a lot comes down to what those 3m users are doing. If 3,000,000 users register, then logout, and only return once every 6 months then maintaining the site going forward will be quite easy. However, if each of the 3,000,000 return every day, upload some media, comment often…[Read more]

Nice @shanebp 🙂

@gio91 @shanebp
The name of the plugin would lead one to believe this is a premium plugin but from what I can gather it is free on the WP plugin repo here:

Hmmmm. BuddyPress does not ever automatically mark a user as a spammer (or not a spammer), so I’m not immediately sure what might be going on. What other plugins do you have on the site, and what theme are you using?

Please also tell us the versions of WordPress and BuddyPress that you are using, like @shanebp asked.

Last question: are you using…[Read more]

@shanebp just like He-Man? 🙂

@lifebringer
See @shanebp ‘s solution here:

@shanebp even if I provided some explanation of the priority requirement, I think my edit to change the hook to wp_enqueue_scripts may have introduced confusion to some people not as familiar with the priority param. I think it’s safer all round just to use wp_print_scripts, especially as the hook isn’t being deprecated as first thought.

@hnla we’ll blame the Red Arrows for interrupting our concentration 🙂

Thanks @shanebp for pointing out.

@@shanebp @henrywright ah ok if that is the case then it perhaps ought to be mentioned, did wonder about the hook priority but seen other examples of ? de-registering in that manner but perhaps that would run on that hook – Sorry Henry might have got that wrong then.

Very nice plugin @shanebp!

@shanebp

Okay, it worked!!! That’s a lot!!

One more thing – can you please tell me what if it’s in the functions.php file, do I need to use the bp_init then or something else?

@shanebp debug_backtrace() looks interesting, I’ll find that one useful!

Agree with @shanebp!

I’m trying to isolate an apparent quirk in BuddyPress having to do with an embedded user avatar image (via shortcode) not linking properly to the user profile…

To my knowledge, BP doesn’t supply shortcodes? I suspect if you search your theme for something like add_shortcode( 'shortcode-name-here' and look in the hook’s c…[Read more]
