BuddyPress.org

@sarahs91 there have been changes to both BuddyPress and WordPress. Have you done some basic troubleshooting like changing theme to Twenty Fourteen/Thirteen? If it’s still an issue, have you deactivated plugins other than BuddyPress to check which is causing conflict in your registration?

here some ideas / projects :

hello @megainfo,

You’re right. I think the problem you described in #5569 is a side effect of #5553.

Thanks for your feedback, can you confirm this patch is solving your issue ?

Perhaps list all of the featured LinkedIn has that you want to have in your BuddyPress site then recommending plugins will be a little easier

From a developers perspective, BuddyPress gives you a large amount of functionality in what a social network is known to be. For FREE. The last bits that you need for a unique site/app/experience is up to you. BuddyPress even includes many APIs to add more functionality.

BuddyPress dropped theme dependency in version 1.7. The base templates that come with the plugin are generically a basic social network. This is just one example of how to use the core software on the front end.

Here is a perfect example of doing something besides a “dated social network” as you put it, and this was years ago, it’s a web based game with BuddyPress. http://www.bpinspire.com/zombies-vs-hippies

It is really a disservice to the contributors of this project when people post these rants. They work countless hours to give you something that is ridiculously feature rich. No one is ever going to develop for you a “magical just what you expect” social network for free.

If you think there are areas that need enhancement then help contribute to the project.

Hi @imath, @boonebgorges,

I think the problem is caused by bp_update_to_2_0().
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5569

@eddieb12180 Did you even try adding the styles I provided above? Of course you can make some changes in the registration page’s markup. Copy over the register.php file from https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php into yourchildthemefolder/buddypress/members/ folder and make the changes you want to html tags available there.

@eddieb12180 Add the simple tweaks below to your child theme’s stylesheet and adjust to taste. Basically, tame the styles of the descriptions and settings so it will be more visually pleasing.

#buddypress .field-visibility-settings,
#buddypress .field-visibility-settings-toggle,
#buddypress .field-visibility-settings-notoggle {
font-size: 14px !important;
}

#buddypress .field-visibility-settings legend,
#buddypress .field-visibility-settings-toggle {
font-style: normal !important;
}

#buddypress .current-visibility-level {
font-weight: normal !important;
}

#buddypress .field-visibility-settings a.visibility-toggle-link {
font-style: italic;
text-decoration: underline;
}

#buddypress .field-visibility-settings legend,
#buddypress .field-visibility-settings-toggle {
margin-bottom: 0;
}

@simple-man you might want to read the release docs more carefully 😉
