BuddyPress.org

Hi @whyknott,

I’m a bit confused because I’m not sure what you mean by:

I need to change the quality of the images to 100%

Is this in reference to the JPG compression value? Additionally, I find this confusing, as well:

How do I tell BuddyPress to use the full image size and just scale it down to fit the image size vs. using the thumbnail size

As your code snippet indicates, there are 2 (two) image sizes (full & thumb) for Avatars and the default sizes are 50 x 50 for thumb and 150 x 150 for full, both are in pixels. So, if you wish to change the sizes, then you need to change the numeric values to something other than the default values. These are the sizes after a crop of the original image.

To help clarify some things, what is the size (width x height) of the original image that you are using to upload as an Avatar? Let’s start here and see if we can find a solution to your “quality” issue.

Can you share the error and which version of BuddyPress you are using?

Hello BP-developers,

I also want to thank you for maintaining and developing Buddypress!
We have been using it for almost 10 years and never had issues when updating to a new version.

Passing to 14.0.0 was different. Thanks for the BP Classic that fixes many issues for us but as Lars we still cannot have the translation working yet.

We used to use the buddypress-fr_FR.mo file to change the by default translation of “groupe” (French word for group) in “Expé” for expédition on our site. But changing the buddypress-fr_FR and re-uploading to wp-content/languages/plugins as we were used to do at each update, does not seem to work.

Here is a link to our website with both public and registered users : where the blue button close to the title should be “Créer une Expé” instead of “Créer un groupe” and the other blue buttons next to each group “Rejoindre l’Expé” instead of “Rejoindre le groupe”.

Thanks for your help.

WP 6.6.1
BP 14.0.0
Theme : a minimally customed child version of Boss

This is something I’m working on in the plugin I’m building as a result of this thread: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/disable-rss/

I already have the code to remove stuff from wp search in another plugin I have, I just need to put that into this new plugin and update it specifically for this task.

I should have some code in the next week.

Will do! That sounds great. I feel like BuddyPress has so many features and is great but lacks more UI and setting options so web designers/developers can customize easier to help clients.

Perhaps I need to create a new post for this or find the relevant one, but the Avatar and Cover images are showing blurry. I tried adding this code to my functions file (via snippets plugin) and it did nothing. I need to change the quality of the images to 100% not be so blurry. How do I tell BuddyPress to use the full image and just scale it down to fit the image size vs. using the thumbnail size, since typically in WordPress those images are horribly blurry.

Here’s the code I added which only alters the image sizes not QUALITY.

<?php

// Define Buddypress Avatars Dimensions.
if ( ! defined( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH' ) ) {
    define( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH', 50 );
}

if ( ! defined( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT' ) ) {
    define( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT', 50 );
}

if ( ! defined( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH' ) ) {
    define( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH', 150 );
}

if ( ! defined( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT' ) ) {
    define( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT', 150 );
}

@briebree I’ve been developing a plugin which you may want to check. It doesn’t give option to choose different avatars, but it does allow members to join groups anonymously.

BuyddyBoss & BuddyPress Anonymous members Plugin

It is not in the wordpress.org plugin repository yet, thanks to a huge list of plugins awaiting review.

If you don’t get the issue with astra, then it’s not an issue with BuddyPress, it’s Elementor that is the issue. That’s the reason why we ask you to try with another theme.

Implement a debounce function to delay AJAX requests until the user has stopped typing for a specified duration. This will reduce the number of requests and improve responsiveness. The debounced function can be added to the input event in the “What’s new” section of the BuddyPress activity stream.

@traqbar It seems to be working fine. Try debugging using the default theme and only BuddyPress to find which plugin is causing the issue.

Hola, necesito ayuda, porque al instalar buddypress no se asocian más paginas

Hi,

For the activation email issue, check your BuddyPress and WordPress settings to ensure emails are configured correctly. Also, look for plugin conflicts that might be affecting it.

For the profile redirection problem, verify that your website URL settings in WordPress and BuddyPress are correct. Double-check the URL configurations to ensure they point to your site.

If you need more help, contacting support might be a good next step.
