BuddyPress.org

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

As a free software I just can’t explain how much I love the buddypress project and I would like to give some suggestions.

1. Buddypress Community Fund (Donations)- It would be awesome if a donation fund can be set up to support the development of buddypress. This fund would be used to incentive developers who would like to support and improve the buddypress project there by increasing the speed of development and progress on buddypress.

Personally buddypress has added tremendous value to me and I would not hesitate to contribute to this fund on a monthly basis. I also feel that among thousands of site’s that are running on buddypress, there would always be thousands of people ready to support buddypress development financially.

2. I would really like the development team to have different roles so buddypress development can be improved on from multiple angles simultaneously. For example

1. Buddypress Technical Team
2. Buddypress Design Team
3. Buddypress Support Team

This are just my personal opinions and I would like to know what your feedback or opinions are on this suggestions. Thanks

forums are handled by bbPress – not BuddyPress
