Your navigation links need fixing.

For example:
Your Activity link is http://ourworldschools.com/index.php/activity/

But the link to the page that shows Activity is:
http://ourworldschools.com/activity/

Ditto for Groups and Members.

Fix your links by going to wp-admin > Appearance > Menus

bp_core_add_message

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

Have you tried BP Simple Private ?

You can also get it here: PhiloPress

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

I would try the WP template file approach.
I haven’t used colorbox for modals.
Why not do your bp_is_my_profile check before your echo and then use a conditional to load the appropriate template? Meaning you have two templates.
I cannot provide any examples or more info re this issue.

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

Did you try un-checking the ‘Blog & Forum Comments’ option
in wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress > Options

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

Have you tried asking on the bbPress support forum ?

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

If that does not work, try using bp_is_my_profile() in the php for the ajax call.
And then load the appropriate template in the modal.

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

Good point.

Rather than put the conditionals in the php for the modal window, try calling a function from the php for the modal window.

Have you tried: BP Local Avatars

You can also get it from the WP plugin repo: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-local-avatars/

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

Try passing the value of bp_is_my_profile() as a var in your ajax call.

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

That query looks for users whose status is zero, iow. inactive or ‘dead’.
Why do you have so many inactive users on your site?
You could try deleting them or setting that field to 1.

Re hosting – you are in a shared environment. Therefore resources are throttled. And queries can take a lot longer in that environment because of that throttling. WPengine can easily host very large BP sites, but not on the cheapest plan.

So, you can clean-up your users and / or increase your hosting resources.

This is the BuddyPress support forum.
Have you tried asking on the bbPress support forum ?

Look thru this BP function: xprofile_screen_edit_profile()

There are 2 hooks you could use:

do_action( 'xprofile_profile_field_data_updated', $field_id, $value );

do_action( 'xprofile_updated_profile', bp_displayed_user_id(), $posted_field_ids, $errors, $old_values, $new_values );

The first is probably easier because you just have to check for the $field_id that you want.

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 3 months ago]

You could replace this: ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] != '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php')

With this: ! wp_doing_ajax()

wp_doing_ajax()

Some BP pages load as expected:

Did you follow the documentation?

Configure BuddyPress

To determine if the issue is related to your theme, try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2016 and see if the issues persist.

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 3 months ago]

You can turn off registration.
Head over to Settings » General page in your WordPress admin area. Scroll down to the ‘Membership’ section and uncheck the box next to ‘Anyone can register’ option.

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 3 months ago]

To determine if it is your theme, try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2016 and try a BP template overload with that theme.

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 3 months ago]

So the first ones have a “membership level” while the other ones don’t have any.

If the ‘other ones’ do not have an Edit button, then create a free membership level.

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 3 months ago]

Try
do_action_ref_array( 'friends_friendship_before_save', array( &$this ) );

Found in
buddypress\bp-friends\classes\class-bp-friends-friendship.php

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 3 months ago]

Using a browser inspection tool shows that the checkboxes are there but are not visible, probably due to your theme css.
To confirm, switch momentarily to a WP theme like 2016.

You’ll probably need to either change your theme css or add some custom css for BP.

Go to a Group Page, then click Manage > Members > Promote

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 4 months ago]

It sounds like Dokan is assigning that role. There is no ‘vendor’ role in BP.
You’re better off asking your question on the Dokan site.

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 4 months ago]

> if that makes sense.

Not really. You can adjust the WP and BP navigation if you have developer skills.

> does someone know how i can contact buddy press directly

This is the support forum for BuddyPress.
It is run by volunteers and there is no guarantee that all questions will be answered to the satisfaction of the poster.
You could also try asking your question on stackoverflow or the WP forums.

[@shanebp Moderator 9 years, 4 months ago]

Short answer: no.

Uploaded files are not stored in the database.

Scaling is a complex subject.
You may need a series of changes as your site grows.
iow. there are simple solutions ( such as increasing server resources ) that can get you to 100k users.
That will give you time to explore using more complex solutions like AWS.
