BuddyPress.org

I’m having a problem where, when a new user registers, then clicks on the “Activate Your Account” link in the e-mail they receive, BuddyPress doesn’t recognize it and replies “Please provide a valid activation key.” If you try to log in with that username, it says “You haven’t activated this account yet.”
This is a new installation of BP 1.5.3.1 & WP 3.3.1 on an IIS server. I’ve been testing this same set-up using MAMP and a *nix server and it works normally.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Hi guys,

I just installed Yoast SEO and during the set-up it says that unless you’re using certain themes, you’ll need to add a piece of code to your loop, but it doesn’t say where your loop is or what line to put it on. My site is now live and I can’t afford for it to crash right now, so I don’t want to play too much with the code at this point.

All I need to know is where the loop needs to be placed in Buddypress default (that’s the theme I’m using)?

Thanks!

Hello, the last thing i need to sort out is how users have their usernames etc.

So im making a buddypress site for users of an online game… ideally i would like it to be like this:

You register:

You set an email address for logging in with, then you also set a display name.

But just 1 display name, there is no profile name field etc.

The problem i have atm is that users cant use their ingame names as usernames because wp doesnt allow spaces or uppercase letters in the username.

But also, i cant allow them to set their profile name as their in game name because it isnt unique.

I could have loads of people changing their names to the same thing.

soo….

Is it possible to have a log in with email, and then im guessing buddypress would have to set a unique id to the user so that their profile name http://www.name.com/idforthatuser

hope someone understands!

Does anyone know how a user’s first name field could be replaced by their username? For some reason when all of my user’s register, I never receive their first name. Instead, I see their username and last name.

The issue is with the regular Buddypress profile fields, so I’m not sure what could be causing the issue.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello.

I am running Buddypress 1.5.1 on OccupyMN.org and am experiencing issues with my activity stream times for both groups and members.

Currently, whenever I look at the posted activity times, I am seeing many ‘Posted sometime ago’ messages along with seemingly incorrect times with other users activities.

Would anybody know of a fix for this?

Hello, i need a way of showing that certain users on my buddypress site have certain roles.

I need to show that admins are official, and some accounts have been ‘verified’ by me.

The way that i have thought of is that if accounts are admins, then when they make an activity stream update, it shows their name in gold, same as on the members search etc.

And likewise for verified, say its blue when i set there role to verified in my admin section.

Any ideas how i can do that?
