@Pisanojm: writing it now.. as promised!

@bowromir ..very excited to see what you come up with for a cdn for avatars today!

@frankjath

This plugin will enable you to do that:

This article by @modemlooper should help get you going in the right direction:

I have the same problem — latest version of WP and Buddypress — crop tool does not function — only shows top left corner of my avatar image. Is this a bug?

This isn’t a BuddyPress question, but the front page of the dashboard loads up a bunch of external RSS feeds. It’s probably one of those being slow

Thanks a lot. I plan to not add them in via wp, but manually use our inhouse combine script which gzips and minifies at the same time.

Thanks again. Will let you now how it goes.

@tim , yes , if you don’t need to use original js/css, then, you don’t need to register them back
`function my_jscss_remover() {
wp_deregister_script( ‘the-handle-name’ );
//and others;
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘my_jscss_remover’ );`
You can find the “the-handle-name” in the plugin’s files at the line when it load the js/css, it normally use wp_enqueue_script , or wp_enqueue_styles, to load js/css. Sometimes they can also use reqire function, but as long as you find the specific file.js , that’s the line.

When you register your own js, the final parameter “true” means put it in footer. If your js require to run before the page finish loading, you don’t need this “true”.
You can also add like this: if bp_is_page(‘xyz’), then, the js will be loaded only on the page you need.
Please remember that, at this point, your js/css are not minified yet.

@imjscn: that looks great. I would actually be using a custom combine script, that I would place outside of the Wp functions. ie hard code the combine in either header or footer.

I assume then that I would only need to deregister css and js, and not do the enqueue bit. Is this right?

if so, what would the amended snippet look like please?

As far as I can understand, the topic starter must be the blog ownner or authors. IntenseDebate works in the commenting system only. Is the correct? Does it provide a way to enable users or guests initiate a post?

To see what can be done in an evening with BuddyBuilder check out my site which is still under construction.

I have to be honest, I’ve looked at all of the themes available for BuddyPress, and BuddyBuilder is IMO superior to all of them. The amount of creativity it allows you is staggering. It makes sense to call it a theme framework, because it is really something you can build upon without no coding knowledge whatsoever.

Sub-profiles?

Eh, that would be pretty difficult to do.

However, you can do that for groups: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-group-hierarchy/

@gregfielding , yes, it helps.
The parallel loading has to be done with cookie free domain– the http://domain.com should not install any dynamic stuff so that it won’t pass cookie to all subdomain. If wp installed on top level domain, the benefits of parallel loading get offset by checking cookie time.
@tim, combining js is risky, but combining css is easy–just copy them into your own style sheet. The deregister the original. Here’s an example of deregisting and registing:
`function my_jscss_register() {
wp_deregister_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’ ); // deregister bp’s global. js
if( !is_admin()){
wp_deregister_script( ‘jquery’ ); // deregister jquery
wp_enqueue_script( ‘jquery’, ‘http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js’ );
// and other js you want to deregister/register
}
wp_enqueue_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, ‘http://static1.domain.com/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ),”,true );
wp_deregister_style(‘login-with-ajax’);
// and other css you like to deregister
wp_enqueue_style(‘my-default-style”,http://static2.domain.com/’);//the combined css
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘my_jscss_register’ );`

Yes it could be confusing and personally, I want replies posted in original blog and forum posts.

Network Admin dashboard – BuddyPress > General Settings:
choose option “Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?”

Clearly, this is THE one big issue that everyone faces. I agree, thatthere needs to be an official HOW TO for page load speed and performance.

Granted everyone has different setups, but things like manually combining js and css and calling from a subdomain is something everyone should be able to do, if we are shown how.

Hosting: am on the 32gb plan with stormondemand.

It says in instruction:
… open index.php in the buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members folder, locate this line (line 14) …

If you’re currently using bp-default theme, then you need to
– create a child theme of bp-default theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
– copy the index.php at buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/index.php
– paste that index.php into yourchildthemefolder/members/ folder
– open up the index.php in members folder and follow installation instructions https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-profile-search/
– upload child theme folder to server and activate

What kind of hosting is everybody using here? I’m just about to launch and expect around 30 concurrent users. I’ve gone for a semi dedicated option but am interested in what others use and where they see slowdown.
