BuddyPress.org

Thanks for your report! I’ve created a ticket with a patch that corrects the behavior here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8167

You may have found a bug.
You can open a ticket here.

Using the proper hook always helps. Can be tricky to figure out.

This is not up to date or comprehensive, but should help: bp hook order

You should not need to write a custom query to retrieve a piece of profile data, but if you do then this is more distributive:

global $wpdb;
$bp = buddypress();
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$field_id = 2; // for example
$field_value = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT value FROM {$bp->profile->table_name_data} WHERE field_id = %d AND user_id = $user_id", $field_id ) );
var_dump( $field_value );

You are making some basic mistake.
You shouldn’t need to create an instance of bp
Try using the bp_ready hook instead of bp_loaded.
Instead of $bp->loggedin_user->id use bp_loggedin_user_id() or get_current_user_id()
You don’t say where you are trying to use it in your child theme.
Why not use pastebin to share the section of code that is not working?
Use var_dump rather than echo to see what is really being returned.
Try your code in bp-custom.php

I second action here.

WP now has a password strength indicator with an option to allow a weak password. There is a plugin here that removes that option, so a user setting their password in the backend cannot set one WP regards as weak.

Bu there is nothing to stop a use setting a very weak password in their BuddyPress profile. It warns you it is weak but still allows it. Please can we have the ability to block that?

No response. I don’t understand how is it possible to have such a bad navigation system on buddypress. It’s basic but the ajax system is completly anti-ergonomic. When you click on page 2 then click on a profile and click the return button you go back on page 1. This made me crazy that nobody correct this.

Can confirm this looks odd.

Alle leden 2.651 (all members -> of groups ?)
Mijn vrienden 3

Sorteren: Alfabetisch

Ledenoverzicht
Je bekijkt 1 – 20 van 3.325 leden (all users )

Dashboard :
Alle (3.325) -> all users
Participant (2.651) -> buddypress groups participants.

If i search members (as admin) for a non group participant it does show up.

However logging in as normal user (member of 2 groups) the total count is 2651 and non group participants don’t show up, which makes perfect sence.
However sorting alfabetcally indeed returns the number 3.325. And searching a non participant does now show up.

Something seems wrong indeed.

Hi, BuddyPress uses bbpress for its forums so you may get a quicker response over on their support forums.

I’ve just had a quick look at the forums on my site though and I can only see an option to use IMG tags to point to already online images and don’t see an option to upload images straight to the forums.

Hi Elodie66,
As your queries appear to be related to a different plugin you will likely get a better response from the plugins own support forums. This site is primarily related to the BuddyPress plugin itself.

Any update guys? I’m going to have to delete BuddyPress at this rate. My site has slowed to a crawl
