BuddyPress.org

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 🙂

> 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.

The whole freakin Plugin needs a UI & layout makeover. It’s 2017, looks like crap vs today’s UI/UX standards. This is why people are willing to pay for premium plugins like Ultimate Member plugin $200/year, or BuddyBoss theme – for design & looks alone. I’d even pay for a UI/UX upgrade that looks similar to Ultimate Member because BuddyPress has more add-ons and better performance. Start a kickstarter page lol and hire an excellent UI/UX designer!

I am not attacking the BuddyPress Dev team to be clear.
I’m just saying that there should be a customization option for the registration page.
Because right now the styles are dependent on the theme. Why not add an option that allows people to place a certain field at a place and fully customize that field to their likings. Of course I understand that is hard and takes a long time and will probably not happen.
But please the team would make a lot of people happy by adding an option so people can customize the registration page apart from the full theme like its own style sheet.

@all Could we maybe a little less rude about BuddyPress styling we put a heck of a lot of our work time into providing BP as theme compatible app, it sounds like you’re all experiencing problems with premium WP themes affecting BP. Our registration screens are as best they can be made when we have to try and cater for unknown styling layouts.

Above all else before making remarks please do try to bother to read the Codex documentation which explains just how to avail yourselves of the huge flexibility BP template hierarchy affords users and the ease in which you can overload all template files to child themes including the BP stylesheet. In other words RTFM 😉

> BuddyPress needs to do something about this.

No we don’t! We don’t have to support premium themes we support themes coded to WP theme standards to do more is more work than a volunteer set of devs can handle. There is always the option of hiring a dev to get things settled in to your theme.

Same issue here. I just want to be able to edit the css of the registration fields.
My theme (Avada) doesn’t have a straight forward style.css it does not simply work like that.
BuddyPress needs to do something about this.

Hi,
I’ve just installed BuddyPress on my WordPress and I’ve also noticed that BuddyPress messes around with my Flexslider by slowing down the loading of the first slide.
I don’t get your explanation to solve this problem. Could you be more precise about it?
Thank you very much your answer.

hi,

Been trying to set this up for a few days now, but no success. I’ve setup a multi-site network with sub-directories and buddypress network activated.
I’ve added define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true ); to config.php as recommanded for BP multisite install.

Main site: mydomain.com
subsite: mydomain.com/subsite

When users upload their profile picture on main site, unfortunately it doesn’t sync with their profile when they go on the subsite.

The following codes have worked for some people but not for me. Still trying to find a solution.

function bpdev_fix_avatar_dir_path( $path ){
if ( is_multisite() && BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG )
$path = ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/uploads/’;
return $path;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_core_avatar_upload_path’, ‘bpdev_fix_avatar_dir_path’, 1 );
//fix the upload dir url
function bpdev_fix_avatar_dir_url( $url ){
if ( is_multisite() )
$url = network_home_url(‘/wp-content/uploads’) ;
return $url;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_core_avatar_url’, ‘bpdev_fix_avatar_dir_url’, 1 );

You need to translate BuddyPress into French as well.

View this codex page for more info on how to manually download and apply the French translation:

Languages and Translations

BuddyPress doesn’t use shortcodes.

Instead, it relies on connecting specific WordPress pages to BuddyPress components.

Read this section for more info:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/#settings-buddypress-pages

You can use builder plugins with WP, but not with BuddyPress which uses its own templates.
