I have an odd issue. Every user that is registering is defaulting firstname and lastname to my name.
The username for the user is correct but firstname and lastname are blank in their profile fields. If I manually edit their profile firstname lastname is blank. Once I insert the correct name in these fields the member directory updates correctly.
Is there a default firstname lastname set somewhere? If so how would I change it?
I am using wordpress 3.5.1 and Buddypress 1.6.5.
If anyone that is not a moderator please mention me @bphelp to see if this working. I appreciate it!
Yes sir, but I always got the notifications from moderators but when someone I am helping in a topic that is not a moderator then I would not get the notification.
@bphelp
You tell me! Has your activity stream kicked into life? Has this post/comment been sent as notification?
@hnla I changed it from bphelp to bp-help will this suffice?
Ok. I see. Thank you Hugo.
@epatrick
Just to illustrate why it’s NOT a BP issue.
You are missing a series of styles that are getting generated and injected into the head of each page (not a good approach but hey ho)
e.g. .skinset-menu{}
Now quite why these styles are not getting added to actual single groups although they are to the parent directory is a question only the theme authors can answer.
it’s their theme and their approach to applying their styles and functions, as to why their approach doesn’t work on the group single views is only something that can be understood by de-constructing the theme as we and BP have no knowledge of that it’s next to impossible to help, thus it IS their duty to help or guide you, perhaps a setting you’ve missed in the backend?
I don’t mean this to sound unhelpful on our part but just trying to point out the issues from our perspective.
@epatrick Sorry that’s not an acceptable position for them to take, they provide a theme that is BP ready and as that theme, as I have said, looks fairly complex there is likely a level of knowledge required of the theme and how it works in order to effect changes at the least I would expect them to have a look after all it may be as simple as adjusting a few rules in the BP styles they keep in their custom folder?
OK. The thing is The Northvantage doesn’t provide support for buddypress related issues, that’s why i came here actually.
@epatrick Your last post crossed with mine probably. With these sorts of issues you need to contact the theme authors really.
@Hugo,
What i mean by “They don’t show up correctly, the CSS or the design is degraded.” is that these pages have lost the original theme CSS/design.
See the theme design
http://www.ingetaweb.net/groups/
See how it shows up within directory buddypress pages:
http://www.ingetaweb.net/groups/manifestations-evenements/
The theme colors have disappeared.
After a quick look it’s clear this theme is fairly complex and integrates a number of plugins BP being one, so in theory this is a BP compatible theme; for issue therefore with this you really need to direct them to the authors on their support forum:

Hi Hugo,
Thanks for your reply. I’m trying that. I’ve also noticed i had to upgrade my wordpress version.

It’s actually not obvious what your issues are. With this sort of question it’s actually important to briefly describe the issues as well as simply providing links as useful as they are.
They don’t show up correctly, the CSS or the design is degraded.
‘correctly’ can be a matter of opinion as can ‘design degraded’ you need to be technically specific.
Your BP version is outdated by four point releases you should be on a minimum version of 1.6.5 – it’s important to keep abreast of releases if only from a security point of view.
If in dev stages I would advise you actually install 1.7 RC1 and make use of theme compatibility it brings to the table and if having gone through the template pack process removing those files.
There are guides in the codex to working with 1.7.
By the looks of things first thing you need to do is go into your account and change your display name that kicks your activity stream into life – I note you have nothing on there at the moment – this may be the cause of issues.
Buddypress and welcome pack only.
Thanks.
Humm, +1 to WP and BP but seen as Android doesn’t fully support it I see no point in making the feature available to users. I’m still hiding the upload feature on mobile devices via CSS media queries
I maintain a couple of plugins that between them add support for a range of safe shortcodes to be used in comments, bbpress forum posts, buddypress group posts and the activity stream:
However at some point the activity stream support seems to have broken.
If I type: `this is [b]some bold[/b] text` into an activity update, it used to output:
this is some bold text
but now it outputs
this is text
It seems I can no longer filter on ‘bp_get_activity_content_body’. What do I need to change?
Existing code:
`add_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_content_body’, ‘bbp_whitelist_do_shortcode’ );`
Hello,
I’ve successfully installed buddypress with my Tersus theme (WordPress 3.4.2, buddypress 1.6.1)
The design in all the main buddypress pages work perfectly. See some example:
http://www.ingetaweb.net/activity/
http://www.ingetaweb.net/groups/
http://www.ingetaweb.net/members/
The problem i have is with pages within BuddyPress directory pages. They don’t show up correctly, the CSS or the design is degraded. Here’s an example:
http://www.ingetaweb.net/groups/manifestations-evenements/
And they are all like that. I don’t know how to solve this. Anyone could guide me?
Thanks,
Patrick
Hi @chouf1
I am using wordpress 3.5.1 and buddypress 1.6.5 with status theme. I tried deleting users with different theme as well, but failed to do so, I am running multisite and am able to to remove user for wordpress admin panel, but cant do it from frontend buddypress profile.
I am going to be running BuddyPress along with creating content for my blog. I am wondering if it’s possible for the people that create accounts on my BuddyPress to use the accounts not just for BuddyPress but also for commenting on posts on the blog and pages on my website?
Essentially, I’m looking to create a complete community experience on my website, where, by creating an account on my site, users will be able to use that account for all aspects of the site. Thanks.
P.S The update din’t work for me…
Is a crash report the button repport when the app crashes? If yes, I did sent a crash report.
@mercime @hnla
I know others have mentioned this issue and it really prevents people trying to help from following up on a support thread because its not showing up in our notifications. I get @mentions from forum moderators but not from anyone else. Please fix this when you can.
