Try posting your requirements on the BP Jobs Board. There might be a developer there who’ll help you.

“Btw, I never learned Php and get along cuting and pasting my way through child-themes and even I can make it look good, so do not pretend to com plain about something you do not know how to use.
CSS and a bit of rearranging of code can achieve miracles, you just need vision, the main ingredient that makes a well designed internet pie.”

I’m sorry for ‘complaining’ about the #1 social plugin with hundreds of thousands of downloads, that has a UI from 2008. This is just long overdue, and someone needed to say it. I’d love to spend hours learning PHP, but I have to think about my entire site operations – business, getting investors, visual design, some coding, SEO, content writing, research, etc. It’s not always feasible. The User Profile page needs a complete overhaul! If I draw it out, can someone code the layout. I’ll pay you!! lol. Make some money off your BuddyPress PHP skills. User Management plugins (many) are lacking!

Actually, ‘Admin’, ‘Everyone (Admin Editable)’ and ‘Only Me (Admin Editable)’ are not part of BuddyPress and are added by the plugin.

If you use the plugin and set the field visibility to ‘Only Me (Admin Editable)’ then the field will only be visible to the user and the Admin. You could also use the ‘Admin’ settings to, for example, add notes about the user that the user can’t see.

The plugin initially sets the admin to be the main admin account, but it gives this code snippet in its FAQs to enable you to set the capability required, so editors can also see the field:

function custom_profile_fields_visibility() {
      return ‘edit_others_posts’; // Editors
}
add_filter( ‘bp_admin_only_profile_fields_cap’, ‘custom_profile_fields_visibility’ );

Can you ensure that line 207 in bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php matches the following?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.1/src/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php#L207

If it doesn’t, can you let me know what line 207 is on your version of BuddyPress?

I absolutely love Buddypress and have no issues with layout as that is what I am responsible for as a designer/developer.

Personally I would have all the crew who build Buddypress over for coffee and a curry, some salsa dancing and a Chuck Norris movie.

Yes we would discuss layout and UI, but then we would end the long night with hugs and an understanding that we all need to learn to make our websites unique in our own time so the Buddycrew can keep the machine running as smooth as possible from the inside.

Thanks guys for Buddypress

Hello @danbp

Display name in buddypress activity stream is not showing once posting any activity.

It was showing earlier but all of a sudden its not showing for newly registered users. Please check the screenshot below:-

http://nimb.ws/ixjNcq

B’coz of this the {username} field is not showing in email templates as well when someone is inviting others, group invitations etc. wherever involved.

Any help will be very much appreciated. I’m using KLEO theme.

Regards,
Sidd

I don’t think this is a problem with BuddyPress.

Does this happen when you disable BuddyPress and attempt to login with an incorrect password?

There is no BuddyPress “business”.

BuddyPress is what you make of it. Same as WordPress. WordPress provides you with a default theme and basic options, same with BuddyPress.

You haven’t mentioned what your feed is. Is it the main site’s RSS feed (example.com/feed)? A category feed?

You should disable all BuddyPress plugins that might be interacting with blog posts.

Finally found a solution.
1) add define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true ) in wp-content/config.php
2) network activate buddypress
3) install rmiweb-multisite-avatar. It is a custom plugin for rmi.one website not available on wordpress repository. Can’t remember from where i grabbed it but i’ve uploaded it on my uptobox account => http://uptobox.com/543ii9u4ozoh
4) At first it wasn’t working for me on my subsite because the theme (skywarriorthemes.com/arcane/) had an issue with displaying avatar. But i’ve tried it with other 3rd party themes and wordpress default twenty seventeen and it works like a charm. So make sure that your theme is not creating some conflict too like mine did.
5) If you want to completely disable gravatar: https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-user-gravatar/
6) Profit.

Hope that helps.

Since you provided very little information, I can only interpret your post from what you have written.

What is the “RSS feed to the newsletter”? Is this just a RSS feed to the main WordPress blog post RSS feed?

I have both BuddyPress and bbPress installed and these plugins do not affect the main blog post RSS feed (example.com/feed/).

The whole freakin Plugin needs a UI & layout makeover. It’s 2017, looks like crap vs today’s UI/UX standards.

Try to think of BuddyPress as a foundation for your theme to style. If your site looks as bad as you describe then consider switching theme. You mentioned @buddyboss, they build some great themes that might interest you.

The best thing to do in this case is take a look through the code:

https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress

BuddyPress does not modify the WordPress blog post RSS feed.

I tested this locally and cannot reproduce the problem. You must have another plugin that is modifying blog post excerpts.

We’re happy for people to contribute those new UX/UI improvements then!

Like I said before please stop slatting BP and the people that provide this very complex app for FREE for your use.

I’m not being impolite @unrealpixel but attempting to get people to realise that the tone of the thread is not pleasant 🙂

@zo1234
> Start a kickstarter page lol and hire an excellent UI/UX designer! BuddyPress is too popular of a plugin to have bad design.

Do it then! What we provide is something that takes a lot of work to achieve and maintain and is the most unsatisfactory means of working with frontend code where we can’t go and add any custom styling as we’re bound to having to try and produce something that works with any theme layout and styling that might arise, again we do this on our own WORK time unpaid so you can understand why all we ask is that people are a little bit appreciative of those efforts 🙂

I know it’s not quite what you’re looking for, but you could always just disable profile uploading in Buddypress’ settings and encourage your users to set up a Gravatar account.
