@hnla Godwin’s Law was a new one for me. I looked it up on the Wikipedia. I’ll need to remember that one. 
(sorry, I digress from the topic of this thread)
Have you tried @jeffsayre‘s Hook Sniffer to see if your hooks aren’t being recognized in the right order? Last time I had a problem like this, Hook Sniffer solved it in five minutes. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-hook-sniffer/
@foxly,
I guess you are using the “Usernames Only Plugin” and from what I have read, Ray is already working to fix that issue or has already fixed it as there is a new version availbale just today (version 0.56).
I am very thankful to Ray for writing this Plugin “Usernames Only” and will surely send him my donation.
@lincme
agree with you.
I tried the default buddypress theme thinking it may be my theme and no luck. I also deactivated the default buddypress theme and the wordpress theme and no luck there either. Where would I look to see what might be causing the problem and what should I look for? The theme css? I didn’t have this problem until I enabled wpmu.
K well Iv’e given it a go. Looks like the data isn’t being saved in group meta. Im not sure when it comes to BP. Could you take a look @hnla and let me know if its in the right direction. I worked off the group tags plugin. The tags plugin saves it to group meta, don’t know if this is the right thing to do but saving it like ‘name’ or ‘description’ of a group is beyond me for now it seems.
It adds a field in group creation step1. called location.
*wont let me past the code here ganna try upload it to pastbin or something quick

thnx ray

i never cared to look into plugin.php 
my bad 
….
@lincme thnx a lot for the tip .. think it be lot helpfull for me
Willing to help with what? have you actually stopped and looked carefully at the options in the dashboard under the BuddyPress section? Is this what you are talking about? If not then you MUST be far clearer on what it is that you are trying to achieve.
Couple of points of order for future reference: telling a developer how long something will take when one can’t do it ones self is logically flawed and rude, please avoid doing so
Calling on those people directly to rush to sort out your issue is also most wrong, do not attempt to grab the attention of specific people on a tech forum unless there is a particular reason that only they can deal with, those five guys you @mention are all far busier than you can imagine and should not be badgered unless really necessary, simply state your question there are plenty of people on the forum that can help just be slightly patient and prepared to expand on your requirements.
@Kevin; Needed a break, so had a look around and found your posts. Our avatars work fine in IE8, but those on your site don’t, so it’s probably your CSS. (They’re fine in Google Chrome Dev, too). Sleep and a fresh look helps!
@emiline220
Why dont use this plugin, it allows “permissions” to be set for xprofile fields:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-privacy/
Works great!
Been searching more on the forums and still nothing but like 5 other people have asked about this with no helpful answers, “can some1 build a basic ‘add field to group effort’ that we can work off from? Also would I add it to the group meta?”
This would take one of the experienced developers like 15 mins to write up as a plug-in.. So please tell me if this is inappropriate, ‘at’ mentioning the mod’s.. Hope I dont get in trouble but no1 is willing to help..

Wouldn’t it be cool for a plugin to remove wp-signup.php and xmlrpc.php from a BuddyPress installation in a way that these changes would be kept through an upgrade of WordPress (which now of course replaces the deleted files)?
@Modemlooper
having the same prob, just want to add one field, ‘location’ for the membersmap on buddypress.org
can some1 build a basic ‘add field to group effort’ that we can work off from? Also would I add it to the group meta?
Worst comes to worst Ill donate towards this, I just need a ‘starting point’ but i think it could benefit a lot of the developers.
And before this turns into a total roast or disagreement session (which I don’t think it will, but I want to prevent the slightest chance of that), I want @johnjamesjacoby and @apeatling to know how grateful I am for all the work that you’ve done.
The amounts of time, effort, sweat, and thankless work that yall have both put in is phenomenal, and for that I thank you. Without BP my site would be nothing. So thank you.
@thegreyspot; I’m working from memory here, but I think what you want might be;
#wp-admin-bar { position: fixed !important; top: 0; }
Not sure, as I chopped the stupid admin bar out weeks ago. It just confuses technophobes, who appear to be 98% of Internet users when it comes down to it. Also, removing it from WP via css and using ‘ozh-admin-drop-down-menu’ to minimise everything makes for a very slick interface with lots of screen space when playing Mr. Wizard.
@Erich73; We find having an @ mention name and a full profile name useful, as long as they don’t clash and cause confusion. The ‘usernames-only’ plugin from @r-a-y takes care of that. We hope to include business members, so provision for their ‘business card’ name is essential, but only on their profile and pages they pay for.
There will be a dev chat this next week, on Wednesday 30th @ 19:00 UTC.
IRC: irc.freenode.net
Channel: #buddypress-dev
Web-based IRC client: http://java.freenode.net/
We’ve had very few questions for the last few sessions, which is why they haven’t happened (if nothing to talk about, there’s nothing to talk about). Post on the agenda on this thread.
Again, if you’ve got a question you aren’t sure can go in the agenda because you haven’t posted before, feel free to check with me (paul at byotos.com, Twitter, on the forums here, smoke signals, etc) or any of the other forum moderator team.
Okay. The issue is that I am redirecting to the forum page for each group. The forum page for private forums does not have a “you need to be a member” error message like groups do. Doesn’t it make sense that forums would have a similar error message? Should I submit this as a BuddyPress bug? I have never submitted a bug and don’t quite know what the standards are for doing so.
Thanks!
Thanks for the info, @mrglasspoole. Hopefully it will be of use to someone else in the future.
Oh lord. How can I post an XML code snippet in here when BuddyPress is not my buddy?
I am getting this response from Webmaster Tools for “bp-sitemap-members-f.xml.gz” and for which Google also claims there are 0 submitted and 0 indexed URLs.
“Missing XML tag
This required tag is missing. Please add it and resubmit.”
The “bp-sitemap-members-f.xml.gz” file contains this…

Can you tell me how to resolve this since I have got so many splinters in my fingers from scratching my head I can hardly think, let alone type any more…? 8^)
I now have two broken forums on very active sites because of Tweetstream. Do the older versions work, and how can I recover the forums?
The only error message I have is a lengthy fatal error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘EpiTwitterNotAuthorizedException’ with message ‘{“request”:”/1/statuses/update.json”,”error”:”Read-only application cannot POST”}’ in /home/drifter1/public_html/extremewritingnow.com/wp-content/plugins/tweetstream/twitter/EpiTwitter.php:256 Stack trace: #0 /home/drifter1/public_html/extremewritingnow.com/wp-content/plugins/tweetstream/twitter/EpiTwitter.php(218): EpiTwitterException::raise(Object(EpiCurlManager), false) #1 /home/drifter1/public_html/extremewritingnow.com/wp-content/plugins/tweetstream/tweetstream-functions.php(387): EpiTwitterJson->__get(‘response’) #2 /home/drifter1/public_html/extremewritingnow.com/wp-content/plugins/tweetstream/tweetstream-functions.php(343): tweetstream_twitterIt(‘okay, someone k…’) #3 /home/drifter1/public_html/extremewritingnow.com/wp-includes/plugin.php(166): tweetstream_activityToTwitter(‘okay, someone k…’) #4 /home/drifter1/public_html/extremewritingnow.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-classes.php(59): apply_filters() in /home/drifter1/public_html/extremewritingnow.com/wp-content/plugins/tweetstream/twitter/EpiTwitter.php on line 256
@Peter
“…….full real names instead of anonymous meaningless usernames…..”
It does not have to be a “REAL” name, but ONE name for a member is enough.
Having 2 names for 1 user (username and display-name) is very very confusing !
@buddypress , @wordpress ,
How many names are printed on YOUR business-card ?
Take a look.
@r-a-y – thank you for the link. I’ll add to the whiteboard.
@mercime – password worked for me. Hmm.
@LPH2005 cool.
@r-a-y sounds like a plan. But the password ‘cake’ is not working at all.
