i would say a template file i think there should be one called register.php? Be advised i know plenty about css/html but i can not give you any advice with regards to php so you’d probably want to know what you’re doing before you go around messing with that file.
might be helpful if you provided a little more info but I’m guessing from what you’ve already said that this is a shared host i would not personally recommend buddypress on any shared server. Not that there aren’t a lot of people around here who are way more knowledgable then me around here who could very well optimize a site to run efficiently without a ton of resources but a certain level of activity no amount of optimization would work very well with a shared host, again my opinion.
I’m thinking of moving to a good VPS (4 cores, 1.5GB RAM).
i think that’s a really good idea. buddypress has a lot of stuff going on under the hood compared to an ordinary wordpress site (which in turn also has a lot of stuff going on under the hood compared to an old school static site). i would certainly defer to anything modemlooper says because you could make a similar analogy in comparing our respective knowledge level regarding WP/BP. But suffice to say a BP site with as many plugins (and # of elements on the linked pages) you have running on shared hosting, to me, is a recipe for slow site and under 5 seconds is actually not too shabby.
you have to remember these shared hosting servers tend to run hundred or thousands of sites per machine and with a WP/BP probably does as much compute as about a hundred or thousand static sites would normally do to serve content to a visitor. when your site gets to certain level of popularity even a “decent vps” will probably not be enough. we have just infact moved from a “decent vps” to a specialty wordpress host having done that i would recommend considering that option.
makes sense to me you should try doing that locally and report if it makes a difference or not I’m sure if something that simple makes an improvement the core devs would probably want to add that.
akismet needs to be activated with api key and if you are using it on a multisite network the wp config file needs to be modified in order for it give your entire network blanket protection. akismet is a built in plugin for all wordpress sites.
i maybe talking way above my head here but I’m wondering something about your request aren’t you saying that you want to create activity (registering commenting whatever) which never actually happened prior buddypress being installed? and if it wasn’t a comment how would you derive a time to associate with the activity? unless it was comment (or something else with a time stamp) you would be creating something from nothing no?
this is definitely getting stranger thanks for the additional input. i know that in my browser this works on another version of this exact same site but not on the primary site using Safari 5 and has been confirmed by at least 2 windows users.
hum just checked it again and have heard this issue exists on other browsers as well just curious what browser are you using? also just doubled checking you are doing the from the group page not the group list page. thanks for the feedback!
Interesting how compatible with buddypress is User Spam Remover? It mentions some stuff about bbpress in the faq but not buddypress. i could see mass deleting completely inactive users but maybe they just created some activity updates or joined a group or something would hate to catch those kind of users in my net.
EDIT: i just saw your other post will comment further there.
