@radmacdaddy if you’re using a WP theme with BP Template Pack plugin, make sure that you have fixed alignment in all 16 BP template files. If all else fails, change to bp-default theme and check if issue is corrected there.

@miguelcortereal – I’m not sure why BP won’t take its cue from Yoasts (otherwise fantstic) SEO plugin and we’re trying to figure this out now – It sure doesn’t seem to work at ALL – and it even strips out the meager title tags that work fine in BP

We’re using BP as a business directory for a local chamber of commerce. All of the categories, searches, and even the businesses profile pages themselves are getting blank title tags via Yoast’s plugin, but turn it off, and they come right back. Irritating – We’re looking for a way to just disable the plugin for BP pages but might dump the plugin if we have to.

Unless we get Yoast working for BP too, I still don’t know how we can get a unique description snippet for each page either – His WP SEO plugin does that for you, taking a snippit from the beginning of the page – OR – you can go SEOverboard and put in one separately on the edit screen if you want to – (Same goes for the title and keyword tag – they autogenerate if you want or you can manually edit.)

The rest of it – the “on page” seo is pretty much covered, although we do like to make sure the template has a unique H1 tag, but that’s about it.

It’s also worth noting that the Yoast plugin does NOT add the BP pages to it’s xml sitemaps either, so we have to double up and use Arne deBracholds XML sitemaps plugin which does get every member BP page…

@therestofyou – Yeah traditional SEO has changed, and is less link-dependent now, but the fundamentals of on-page SEO 101 (like a unique title tag, etc). are all still important. Even having a unique desc tag is important for the serps to show a description for the users,

@shawn38, give it a class in the header where you placed it something like

<div id="top-links">
<ul>
<li></li>
</ul>
</div>

and put this in your style.css

 #top-links ul li:hover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */
left: 0px;
}

Adjust it accordingly.

I could help on this, but I will have to do it in my spare time because I am pretty busy. I propose making it a premium plugin because it would help the future development. @juanmaguerrero whoever told you to stick the preloader.gif where you specified is wrong. It should always have its own folder in the plugin for instance wp-content/plugins/ bp-auto-load-activity/includes/preloader.gif. You should never save the preloader.gif to buddypress because updates will muck it up. That is my two cents worth anyhow!

@qrahaman isn’t that sorta what the plugin W3 total cache or just minifying your CSS kinda does to a degree anyway? If so then its already kinda been done handily and there is no point in reinventing the wheel! Just saying!

@ElbowRobo @Tosh I’m with you guys – looking to do the same thing…

its funny because this problem only started after i updated buddypress …

@botane just sent you an email

@qrahaman That is a a good policy to follow and I am glad you found a solution. If you would post the solution after you resolved it, it could potentially help the other users in the community that encounters the same issue. Thanks and good luck!

@botane looks like you’ve fixed the issue, the page looks just fine. What was the culprit?

In addition to my first reply, you need to have the ‘Extended Profiles’ component checked in your Buddypress settings under ‘Components’.

@nitestop please start a new topic for the html code showing up in your pages and give steps so we can replicate the issue.

Yes, thanks @r-a-y

I’m wondering how to do this as well. Found this, which is where the functions are first created. But I’m still at a loss how to create a notification.

I’ve searched around a LOT for this solution. Seems like most people don’t know or the ones that do don’t want to share, lol.

Its a plugin @modemlooper made and it works as specified with bp-default theme. It will work with other themes as well if your willing to put the time in to do it. I have learned that though it seamed people were unwilling to help me at one point they were actually trying to liberate me and I credit @rogercoathup for basically telling me to learn my way around the code. The people here are good folk but they also expect you to put time in and learn about the code and I highly respect that!

has anyone found a plugin for registration, country, state/providence, city
