I don’t think there’s a plugin for this, you’d really have to write something dedicated to your site, maybe a widget which detects the pages and offers context specific help.
I’d be looking to isolate the various components that you are using to try to work out what is causin this. As it stands BP does not duplicate the subject line for it’s emails so it looks like it’s to do with something else.
I’m not able to recreate your issue, I suggest you try deactivating all other plugins and run with the 2017 theme to see if that changes the behaviour.
Which mentions dropdown are you talking about? As far as I’m aware the members page drop down only has three options: Last Active, Alphabetical and Newest Registered.
By the looks of things you have changed the size of the avatars. and since you have not updated that avatars themselves they are showing pixelated – trying to display a 200px image as a 580px image.
For bug reports there is https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ by default BP does not use the email address to create the username. If your site is doing that then something is changing the default behaviour of BuddyPress.
BP essentally uses the same login as WordPress, there’s a lot of ways of customising it though, depending on your knowledge. There’s various custom login plugins, including Theme My Login, which allows you to change a lot of the login functionality.
BuddyPress provides the following
Extended User Profiles
Groups
Messaging
Friends
Activity
Forums can be added to groups if you install bbPress.
If you just want a forum, you should be looking at bbPress. BuddyPress does not come with a forum, it uses bbPress to add forums to groups but adding BP on it’s own won’t give you forums.
It’s safe to deactivate BuddyPress, you will lose the BP features but they will come back after you reactivate the plugin, so you can do it quickly to test then reactivate it.
Actually, that does not work, I must have it wrong. The easiest way is to go to your menu edit page, and select profile in the BuddyPress options, these may be hidden so you will need to go to screen options and select BuddyPress
Mind, I’ve just looked on my server and I can see in the signup db that the activation key for the user is held there. So you could overload the activate template page and add a check to see if that key has been used.
That’s not a feature that is supported right now. The issue is that bp does not store the activation code for the user, so it can’t look up the activation code and know it’s the right one but has already been activated for that user. I think you would need to raise a feature request on Trac for that.
With bp you can overload the user profile pages and replace their code with your own. The templates are located in the plugins/buddypress/bp-templates directory, either bp-legacy or bp-nouveau depending on your config. in that directory you would look in buddypress/members/single and you will see the various profile templates. You overload these by creating alternative files in themes/my-child-theme/buddypress/members/signle/ etc..
