We are aware of the issue. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4271
As noted in ticket, you can use Google in the meantime. Plus the list of plugins tagged “BuddyPress” –> https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=buddypress
Thank you for your patience.
You’ll lose your amendments as soon as you upgrade BuddyPress – it’s not a good practice to be hacking core files.
The safest way to address this one, would be to add a filter on: bp_get_the_profile_field_datebox
In there, you’d have to do a bit of PHP string manipulation – replacing the option value parts for year in the HTML string, with the range that you want.
It’s not straightforward, but it’ll work through a core upgrade.
Go to Settings > General, is your WordPress Address URL the same as your Site Address URL with www or without www?
@i25sa I found a fix that worked for me. It was a simple setting that got turned off when I added a plugin (and later deleted it). Go to settings, privacy and ensure that Registration is checked under Exclude from BuddyPress protection. Hope this helps. Q!
I think I got the right direction for you:
In bp-custom.php add:
`/Change wording in Activity Stream and use post_type iso of ‘post’
add_filter( ‘bp_blogs_activity_new_post_action’, ‘im_activity_content’, 2, 10 );
function im_activity_content($activity_content, $post, $post_permalink){
$activity_content = sprintf( __( ‘%s submitted a new ‘.$post->post_type.’: %s’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int)$post->post_author ), ‘‘ . $post->post_title . ‘‘ );
$activity_content .= bp_create_excerpt( $post->post_content, 25 );
return $activity_content;
}`
@enderandrew – yes – there are quite a few sites now going with the tiled approach, e.g. the ‘new’ look Facebook friends page tiles 3 per row, and linkedIn has some tiled directories (with the profile tiles having a business card type feel). You’ll also find lots of smaller community / event site examples.
As HTML5 / CSS3 transitions become more prevalent, I expect to see more and more nice hover effects on the tiles – e.g. opening up in place to reveal more details about the member along with the ‘friend’ and ‘send message’ buttons. Andy Clarke’s “Hardboiled Web Design” book has some interesting examples of the type of effects that can be achieved, and the zurb playground is worth a look.
@aminima – we undertake that sort of complex development work on a commercial basis, almost invariably as part of full site builds. We contribute on the forums to give general advice and guidance, and sometimes to give short outline code snippets and pointers, but not to provide fully coded components.
If you need a developer to help build custom features for your site, we’d be happy to provide a quote, or you should be able to find other good BuddyPress developers who are available to take on freelance contracts.
Thank you Roger.
I cannot make something like your University Filter. but I really love it. we have a social network of medical students in my country, and it could be very nice to have something like your University filter. unfortunately, I’m not able to do it.
could you please upload /members/index.php and /members/members-loop.php + related CSS codes in a zip file? or you could email them to me?
@rogercoathup
@djpaul Well, your code will remove just the RSS Link in the browser, but not the feed itself.. any idea for a function that makes `bp_core_redirect` work?
@karmatosed – has nothing to do with plugins, its the call in the header to jQuery
@djpaul – when I remove the call from the header, jQuery stops working for me.
I am using the code below in the header.
‘
$(document).ready(function(){
$(“.slidingDiv1”).hide();
$(“.show_hide1”).show();
$(‘.show_hide1’).click(function(){
$(“.slidingDiv1”).slideToggle();
});
‘
thanks
@enderandrew Thanks! I’ll keep an eye on developments.
I just realized that this behavior could be improved and opened a feature request ticket.

The chat plugin is called phpfreechat the theme is the BuddyPress Default 1.5.5 by the BuddyPress team.
Here is a link:

I’ve found a fix!
Version: 3.1 Configure SMTP mailing in WordPress, including support for sending e-mail via SSL/TLS (such as GMail).
Have downloaded, activated and set up the smpt setting – while talking to my web site host company. Mail was sent – copy to me and to the ‘new user’. Works perfectly now.
I’ve also deleted the other users who tried to register.
I’ve found this plugin, installed it, and tried to register. Now the page that says an email will be sent no longer shows. Nor does it send an email.
Plugin = Mail From = Version 1.0.1
A WordPress plugin that allows you to change the default wordpress@example.com email address that WordPress sends it’s email from, and the name of the sender.
So removing this plugin….. 
I now also need to remove the email addresses of the people who have tried to register and did not get a confirmation email – so that they can register again when the thing is working! How do I do this? I can’t seem any admin facility to check on who has tried to register.
Please help – this is now becoming a nightmare. I have two govenment bodies now sending people to the site.
Further to the above post – here is some more info on my BuddyPress setup
Directories – Associate a WordPress Page with each BuddyPress component directory.
=======================================================================
Activity Streams = Activity (page shows on menu = ok)
Discussion Forums = None (but page shows on menu = ok)
Members = Members (page shows on menu = ok)
Portfolio = None (no page shows on menu = ??)
Register = Register (no page shows on menu, but there is a right side bar with block for members to input their details and click on submit for membership, this block works, and opens a page informing the person to expect an email to confirm their membership – but no email is ever received…)
Activate = Activate (no page shows on menu = ??)
The groups DO use a bbPress implementation (bbPress v1.x). In a future release of BuddyPress and bbPress (v2.x), you’ll be able to do what you want.
@mercime Just to update, I have found that the issue with the ‘Tasks’ and ‘Projects’ view under ‘My Account/To Do’ is seen when using the Buddypress default theme as well as my child theme, so it would seem that this issue isn’t related to the CSS that I have used to move the sidebar to the left. Thanks again for your help with this.
I disabled the Suffusion Buddypress plugin (but kept those template files in my child theme) and switched to the Buddypress Template Pack for loading the Buddypress javascript and everything works fine now.
WordPress comes with jQuery rolled in so therefore does BuddyPress. You can see how to safely add scripts here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script
If the avatar cropping isn’t working though the first step would be to check and see if there are any plugin conflicts. Deactivate all plugins then if that doesn’t work set the theme to default to test. A link maybe to your site if that is possible could help track down something should the above not work.
Almost forgot:
WordPress v 3.3.1
BuddyPress v 1.5.4
