Hi @gyrus

You can de-queue BuddyPress styles like @r-a-y suggested in that thread (see #202777). This won’t break anything functionality wise although, of course, it will change your theme’s look and feel because all of the styling information will be gone.

Hi, I realize this is an old thread. However, I thought of posting my solution, just in case someone finds it helpful. (tried posting it three times.., it just disappears from here)

Solution:

1. Copy the the contents of the bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php into the new registration page template

2. At this point, the registration form will show up, but nothing will happen when we submit the form.

3. To solve that, we need to add a custom function to the “bp_screen” hook. In the custom function, we will paste the contents of the “bp_core_screen_signup” function. (located in bp-members/bp-members-screens.php)

4. Then, in our custom function, we will remove this

if ( ! bp_is_current_component( 'register' ) || bp_current_action() )

		return;

and put this

if ( !is_page( 'your-page-slug' ) || bp_current_action() )
        
        return;

5. Next, we’ll remove these lines
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_register', array( 'register', 'registration/register' ) ) );
It will work now.
Here is the pastebin of the custom function created in bp-custom.php

Hi @franckw

This is a question you should ask WC Vendor Pro. BuddyPress doesn’t handle reviewing.

bbPress handles its integration into BuddyPress, not the other way around.

You should look into what it would take in bbPress to alter the slugs for BuddyPress groups. I don’t believe this is possible at the moment from what I remember though.

Hey @udarmo

Thanks for the report. Can you open a Trac ticket for this so it can be investigated?

You’ll want to see a very similar thread to yours:

Template modification not shown on website

You can check the “Users > Pending Accounts” page in the WordPress admin dashboard. Then, you should be able to just delete them from there.

It might be worthwhile for BuddyPress to have a built-in script that removes pending accounts that are older than a month or so.

Also, just to get some clarity, would inactive users be causing BuddyPress to slow down all functions on my website, such as loading a member profile, or the activity page?

Not really.

If you indeed do have a popular website with many users that are concurrently logged in and performing operations, then this will slow down your site. You will need to utilize object caching plugins and the like (I believe WPEngine already has something built in for this). You might also need to consider upgrading your WPEngine plan.

We’re also thinking of doing some performance enhancements in the next version of BuddyPress that will decrease the amount of code that needs to run on non-BuddyPress pages.

I’m guessing you have disabled Search Engine Visibility in WordPress.

If you have, view the following:

The problem is with the function used to generate the active member count.

On your site, you have a ton of inactive users, which is causing the SQL query to be very large. I’m guessing you installed BuddyPress on a really big site recently and your users haven’t logged in yet? I’m guessing your site has a ton of pending users that you haven’t deleted yet?

BuddyPress can do better here, but in the meantime, one way to mitigate this SQL query is to generate a script that will backfill an activity timestamp for all your inactive users one way to mitigate this query is to delete all your pending users (the ones that haven’t completed registration) like Shane mentioned. This will stop WPEngine from killing the query.
