If it was okay on shared, but now is not on VPS – talk to hostgator about it.

I can only make general suggestions.
Try switching to a WP theme like 2013.
Remove any custom code, ex. /plugins/bp-custom.php

[@shanebp Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

You’ll have to implement that solution yourself.
Google ‘html multiselect without ctrl’

[@shanebp Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

Very difficult to diagnose without access to your hosting account.

You’re using an old version of BuddyPress.
You should take this opportunity to update BuddyPress.

There are several multi-select fields available when you create a profile field.

You don’t need the globals.
You aren’t using $bp and $comment is passed in the filter hook.

apply_filters( 'get_comment_author', $author, $comment->comment_ID, $comment );

Try:

function sr_get_comment_author( $author, $comment_ID, $comment ) {

	if ( isset( $comment->user_id ) ) {
		$user = get_userdata($comment->user_id);
		$author = $user->user_nicename;
	} 

	return $author;

}
add_filter( 'get_comment_author', 'sr_get_comment_author', 1, 3 );

This is the BuddyPress forum.

The bbPress forum is here.

Re avatars: Your css has .bbp-author-avatar set to display:none.

I don’t know why emoticons are not working.

[@shanebp Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

You can remove the PM option by deselecting it on the Settings > BuddyPress > Components screen in wp-admin.

There have been other topics re restricting PMs based on membership.
It’s not very difficult to do – but is difficult to answer.
The issue is that the solution has to be specific to

• the membership plugin being used: s2member, pmpro, etc
• the range and allowed number of PMs
• feedback method re UX
• additional misc parameters

Therefore, especially for novices, the answer falls beyond the normal scope of these forums.
You might get lucky, but I suggest posting on the Jobs Board.

I’ve added a group in BuddyPress profile panel…

If you add / move that group into the Base (Primary) field group in wp-admin > Users > Profile Fields, then it will appear on the registration screen.

1. is_super_admin( $user_id )
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_super_admin

2. bp_get_displayed_user_fullname()

But at-mention functionality only works with user names.
So @jino01 will work
But @LarryJino will not work.

[@shanebp Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

Use the group slug:
$group_id = groups_get_id( $group_slug );

[@shanebp Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

Display Name: Larry Jino
Mention Name: jino01

If Display Name has not been explicitly set, then calls to displayname will show the mentionname.

1. On a standard install, if somebody was able to log in as a subscriber, they can mainly be annoying: generating lots of Notices and maybe emails, inappropriate content, etc.

In general, read up on ‘wordpress hardening’.

[@shanebp Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

Those Notices are tricky to debug – especially the ‘user was initialized’.
Although BP generates that rather aggressive notice, it is due to an issue somewhere else in your installation.
I suspect the same is true re the ‘property of non-object’.

Thanks for opening the ticket.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6895
In the ticket, please add a reference to this thread and also paste your useful filter.

[@shanebp Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

bp_core_validate_email_address uses the WP function email_exists.
So perhaps that WP function should check the signups table.

You can open a ticket here and a decision will be made as to whether it should actually be a WP ticket:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket
Use the same suer / pw you use for these forums.

popular = # of friends

[@shanebp Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

That is how it should be.
The Forums link on Profiles should show you what you have done on Forums.
It does not show you the actual forums.
Create some topics, replies, favs, etc via http://gamedealsdaily.com/forums/
Then check your Profile > Forums.

[@shanebp Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

How are you trying to link? What is the href on the link?

[@shanebp Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

To confirm that some ( maybe all ) of the Notices are due to your theme,
try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2013.
Do any of the Notices disappear?

Do you have any plugins that affect Profiles?
If so, try deactivating them – check for Notices.

Try deactivating Membership 2 – check for notices.

[@shanebp Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

change this:
<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . $exclude_members ) ) : ?>

to this:
<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . $exclude_testing ) ) : ?>

[@shanebp Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

By default, all BP pages are public.
Your feedback page is not a BP page, afaik.
Therefore something in your theme, plugins or custom code is setting that WordPress page to private.
I doubt it is related to .htacess

[@shanebp Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

BP does not delete users automatically.
Perhaps something in your theme, plugins or some custom code is changing things.
Do the members appear in …wp-admin > Users ?
If so, something is hiding them on the front end.
If not, something is deleting your users – and it is not BP.

[@shanebp Moderator 10 years, 8 months ago]

Have you tried this plugin?
