I’m not sure we have found the problem, we’ve just ruled out a lot of the code. All bp_get_total_member_count is doing is running a filter, it’s so simple there’s nothing to fix. Could you still have something that’s messing with it?
Yep switching theme should not affect it, and it’s only this one call that it’s doing it on. One thing you could try, is calling the master function direct – bp_core_get_active_member_count() just to see if that behaves any differently. If that does not shed light then it’s down to the workings of the core function, something is different about how it’s applying the excludes list.
You could probably do it by overloading your theme, just find the place where it’s adding the post_author link and overload that using a child theme.
The file in question is usually themes/yourtheme/single.php somewhere it will probably be calling get_author_posts_url($author_id) which points to the WP author page, you’d replace that with bp_core_get_user_domain( $author_id ).
That’s the general gist if what you need to do, but it might get complicated depending on your theme.
Ah so it’s includes/members/functions.php you need to look at, line 50 is calling bp_get_total_member_count(), it’s called by the legacy theme also so there’s a thing – the same function returning two different numbers depending on the theme, and only on one site.
Just checking, on the Nouveau Members page the member count is displayed in two places on my test bed. One place is the pagination, where it says it’s displaying 1-20 of 200 members for example. The other place is the All Members tab, which also shows the members count. do both get it wrong?
BP Nouveau uses a different function to display the members count – bp_nouveau_pagination() it’s in the file plugins/buddypress/bp-template/bp-nouveau/members/membes-loop.php
The same code is used to display the counts for friends. does your friends list display the right number?
You can add fields via Users/Profile Fields, captcha would normally be added via a plugin. To change the text what I normally do is create a custom language translation file using Poedit.
Looking at the site it seems to be looking in the right place right now, the only difference that I can see is that there is a defer onload being set, I don’t get that added on my system, it may had a bearing, but not really in terms of why the file is not being found.
I get this quite a lot, anther plugin stopping a js or css file from loading. I notice the error is saying it’s redirecting, it shouldn’t be doing that. Try deactivating WPML and then setting your site language to German, does it still fail to load that file?
