I believe what you are looking for is in the bp-members-template.php fiile inside of “buddypress”->”bp-members”.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 6 months ago]

I would start troubleshooting this from the ground up as follows:

1) set up an exact copy of your site in a development environment (and preferably on the same server)
2) deactivate all plugins
3) switch to the Default BuddyPress theme

Does the problem persist?

The goal with the above method is to eliminate possible culprits.

@rickkumar – You are welcome!

You could write a front-end jQuery script that forces the behavior you want.

Are you using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/ ?

From that plugin’s page: “DEFAULT SUBSCRIPTION STATUS Group admins can choose one of the 5 subscription levels as a default that gets applied when new members join.”

Here are a couple of posts that might get you going in the right direction:

You have a javascript error that displays on click of those items. The error message is:

`XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://adpressive.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. Origin http://www.adpressive.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.`

You might try googling the error message and see what comes up.

Will you post a snippet of code that is currently displaying the first and last name?

@mercime – Thanks for the info and suggestions!

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

I agree that this causes confusion. You might try creating a ticket here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

Interesting thought. Perhaps post it to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@mercime – Thanks for the info. I was also wondering that about the WP.org forums.

Is this (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/) the right place to put a buddypress.org feature request? It seems awkward, since I am not requesting a new feature be added to BP core. I have never submitted a BP ticket, so I want to make sure I start off on the right foot.

This sounds like a basic jQuery+WordPress question and not necessarily a BuddyPress-specific question. You will need to do a couple of things to pull this off:

1) Enqueue jQuery
2) Write/copy-and-paste a jQuery script that limits the number of characters in a specific field. Then enqueue that script

Start here (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script) and know that there will be a bit of a learning curve!

I haven’t tried the WPMUDEV plugin, but they are a reputable organization. I wish I could be of more assistance!

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@mercime – Any other thoughts on what I can try here from a troubleshooting perspective or where to direct a trouble ticket? I would love to be notified via email of follow-up comments to my forum posts.

Thanks!

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

I am using it on that setup, and it works fine.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

Hmmm… Usually the wp-mail-smtp plugin does the trick for me.

The next step I would take would be to load the site up locally and see if mail sends. If it does, then you know your problem is GoDaddy.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

Yes, you can do that with plugins. Search Google for “buddypress media plugin”.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

I see what you mean. Your best bet is to go to Google and type something like “site:buddypress.org topic”.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

Try deactivating the Cubepoints plugin. Do you get only one post when you do that?

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

You might try contacting the Frisco folks for help specific to that theme.

If you have specific CSS+BuddyPress-related questions, please post the specific questions.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

Are you running any other plugins? If so, try deactivating them.

The issue seems to be that your host isn’t providing you with enough memory to load the page. Contact your host and ask them to increase your PHP memory.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

Here are a few options I thought of off the top of my head:

1) You might consider using a “membership” plugin. I don’t have a lot of experience with them myself, but I think one of the features of some is the ability to use a “key” to register (think of it as a password). You could give them the “key” at the end of your survey.

2) If you are savvy with code, you can likely pass a query string via the url bar as well if your survey software allows it.

3) Password-protect the BuddyPress registration page. You should be able to do this via the WordPress page editor. You could give all the participants the password.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

I would add that if you want better support, you might consider providing more details about what you tried and what you didn’t try to fix the problem.

Rather than tell us what is broken, tell us what you tried to resolve the situation from a CSS/code perspective.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@flyj4ck – Don’t be a jerk.

Your theme has a CSS problem.
