@stoi2m1 – Did you view the link I posted above? The info on the page tells you to use the “Mail From” plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/

Try that and see if emails are sent out.

Check out:

You can temporarily fix private messaging by overriding the username filter. See #2583 for hints.

Seems simple enough. You can disable a lot of the functionality you don’t want in the admin.

The custom parts will be the profile itself, but you should be able to do this pretty nicely using the xProfile fields without too much custom work on your end. You might also have to build a custom search to search through those profile fields, but there are a number of plugins you can look at to build out that functionality.

I’d consider using s2member as the payment method for people signing up. That should work for what you want I think.

As a side note, I’ve created a sports website that teams can use to fundraise called Giving Sports: http://givingsports.com Athlete profiles is not the core of the site, but each athlete just gets a profile as a means to fundraise for their team. It will be interesting to see how that evolves over time since athlete profiles are valuable and interesting.

Probably more the other way; that BuddyPress needs to communicate when caches need to be refreshed better.

Hmm, I was under the impression batcache would only cache public pages (non-logged in users). The above seems to indicate otherwise. Is batcache really buddypress aware (I noticed the last update of the plugin via the repo was back in April ’09).

This link should help you get your child theme ready to go – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

It sounds like the child theme you created might not be activated yet. Once you activate the theme you should see the changes straight away when you modify the child theme.

On a related note, I’d highly recommend using the stylesheet of your custom child theme wherever possible to manipulate the presentation of your content. If you wanted to change the style of the members directory, start your selector with body.directory.members like this:

`
body.directory.members a { color: #000; }
`

In the example above, I’ve just chained together the two body classes (directory and members) that are used in the default BP theme when viewing the members directory.

Yes, I found a ticket filled so I think It will be corrected on next version:
https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/3141

For the moment, Is there any way to replace by_core_avatar_url() function without hacking de core directly?
Maybe replacing an action or applying a filter?

Buddypress group email subscription plugin

No courseware. The site was launched March 2009 on WordPress MU/BuddyPress. Slight modifications based on snippets/plugins posted by Burt Adsit, Paul G., Boone G., JJJ and Andy.

The content is mostly pre-recorded video and audio – not a formal educational program with assignments etc. So the setup is pretty straightforward and most of the customization is just theming. Main site has different content for logged out and logged in users. “Classrooms” are private sub-domain blogs (soon-to-be sub-domain sites) with a classroom theme. The main site and classroom sites are both using custom child themes powered by the BuddyPress default theme.

I’m in the process of upgrading the site so I’ll be around here more often if you have questions.

Well, there’s the elastic theme, and there’s P2 both of which have front end editing. there’s other front end editing plugins which work after the entry is posted.

Given the admin bar is going in wp 3.1, things are moving in that direction anyway. A bunch of developers are working independently on things like this.

This isn’t currently possible without some programming work. ie; there’s no settings in the backend to fiddle.

Buddypress manages everything centrally.

Wordpress manages *users* globally on the network.

“However members should not be allowed to create sub blogs themselves from their own site “

You can’t do this anyway.

Some one could probably work off of this plugin to make it work for user profiles as opposed to group profiles. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-group-reviews/
