Topic: no usernames?
Hello everyone,
Is there a way for my users to not use usernames? Buddypress is perfect for what im trying to do but I just need my users to use their name instead of username because it seems more professional. I know I can add a profile field for their name but I would like to get rid of usernames completely and allow them to sign in with their email. Is this possible?
Thanks.
Topic: BuddyPress 1.5.1
BP 1.5.1 is now available. Read all about it: http://buddypress.org/2011/10/buddypress-1-5-1/
If you’re upgrading from BP 1.2.x, make sure you read the 1.5 upgrade page from the codex: http://codex.buddypress.org/releases/upgrading-to-buddypress-1-5/
Have fun!
@boonebgorges I know what configuration is causing this but I don’t know why.
You can recreate this easily by installing a BP version previous to 1.5 (I used 1.2.10).
Alter the base ‘Name’ field to something else. I used ‘Full Name’.
Upgrade to BP 1.5 and you’ll see all of your First and Last names deleted from your DB.
This leaves only the users ‘username’ showing on their profile, set to their ‘display publicly’ name.
If you try editing the name from the front end, as soon as you click save, it reverts back to showing the username.
If you change it in the backend, by re-adding the first and last names, they then show okay, but try changing the name from the front end again and the changes you just made in the back end get deleted and the username displays publicly again, replacing the First/ Last name.
Now to fix this, you have to rename the base ‘Name’ field from your current ‘Full Name’ field back to just ‘Name’.
You can then edit the field in the front end and backend successfully and your changes will save.
You are now free to rename the base ‘Name’ field back to anything you like – again in my case ‘Full Name’ and it will all work again no probs.
It’s as if BP needs clarification when the base ‘Name’ field is anything else but ‘Name’ after an upgrade to BP 1.5.
If you have it set to ‘Full Name’ etc then it won’t play until you have renamed it back to ‘Name’ before changing it again.
I hope that’s kind of clear. I know it’s long winded!

*** So to avoid this issue, make sure your base ‘Name’ field is labelled as just ‘Name’ before upgrading to BP 1.5.
After that, you can alter it again, but if it’s anything but ‘Name’ on an upgrade, you’ll lose all of your First/ Last name data!
I couldn’t find anything on this which probably means it’s something small and dumb. This is a recent issue (within the last 48 hours) that could have been the result of a setting change or an update (sorry, don’t know which).
When a member hits “Request Membership” on a private group, the red error bar appears with “You do not have access to this group”. Being a member of the root site doesn’t help and I can’t find settings anywhere to change it.
I’ve backdated all plugins (including buddypress) to those on my staging server (where everything is working fine) and no luck. That would suggest this issue is in fact a settings blunder. I’ve also poked around in the source code and can’t find an obvious reason for the error to be appearing other than the user not being logged in but that wouldn’t make any sense.
Worth noting: On the broken site, “Request Membership” and “Join Group” buttons do not appear.

Hey folks:
Using WP 3.2.1
Using BP 3.2.1I have created a sidebar widget calld “Your Profile” which has the code from member_header.php. All of the elements show fine in the sidebar when you are in buddypress pages, but I have noticed two glitches:
1. on other static pages on the site, outside of buddypress pages, the user info is not showing properly. The users avatar does not show up, and all of the Activity, profile, friends, and group links are broken.
2. When you are in a buddypress page, like say activity, and I click on another users avatar, the info in the sidebar widget then populates with that person’s info.
Is there anyway around these bugs?
This is the code in question:

I have buddypress integrated into a non-standard theme and have been making modifications to the css. I have come across one issue that I can’t seem to fix.
When composing a message, the “Send To” field is floating left, while the “Subject” and “Message” fields are centered in the middle of the page. When I begin to type within the “Send To” field, the username that I was typing will autofill and will show up below the “Send To” field. When I click this name, or press enter, the nickname and avatar will appear to the left of the “Send To” field, and the “Send To” field is pushed right. I’d like to center the “Send To” field and make the nickname and avatar appear above the “Send To” field. Where can I find the script controlling the nickname and avatar that appears after the autofill name is selected?
If it helps, this is the code that controls the input field which is located under ‘members/single/messages/compose.php’

Hello, I’ve been working on a blog for my gaming clan and I’m not very knowledgeable on programming sites -working on it though-. I’m using the Karma theme (http://themeforest.net/item/karma-clean-and-modern-wordpress-theme/168737). I installed BP and I’m experiencing issues with getting the BP templates to show up correctly. I believe the footer is covering the top portion. The sidebar could use some work as well.
Here is how it looks: http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/9767/activitysection.png
This is my page.php (http://pastebin.com/berguUAT)
This is my index.php: (http://pastebin.com/DFxpZ0y1)I tried doing what the BP compatibility section says but I’m sadly completely lost on both methods. Late on I stumbled upon (http://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/) and followed that and just made things worst lol.
Any advice would be very much appreciated, thanks for your time!
Topic: Front end controls missing

I’ve been running buddypress on my site for a while now and I get people joining up just so they can get backlinks to their unrelated sites. How do I stop this?
No way to do this in core. Raise an enhancement suggestion ticket on https://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org
