BuddyPress.org

It’s a matter of finding the exact syntax.
This works in the function I provided.

        case 'Friends <span class="%s">%s</span>':
            return 'Connections <span class="%s">%s</span>';

A gettext filter is a reasonable approach if there are one or two labels that need to be changed.
But there are so many different places where ‘Friend’ or some variation is used that in your case you should definitely use a .mo file.

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

Often there is confusion re the Sources Keywords section of PoEdit, so after you read the above, take a look at http://www.cssigniter.com/ignite/wordpress-poedit-translation-secrets/
especially the section titled ‘Keywords lists, WordPress functions, whaaaaaa?’.

For me also not:

I tried it with

Mitglieder-Kategorie (Team oder Fan?)

instead of

'name of your field'

as well as with

'Mitglieder-Kategorie (Team oder Fan?)'

But my users can still change the values for this field. –

I tried as well – already before and now again – this code of @noizeburger:

//hide the user role select field in edit-screen to prevent changes after registration
add_filter("xprofile_group_fields","bpdev_filter_profile_fields_by_usertype",10,2);
function bpdev_filter_profile_fields_by_usertype($fields,$group_id){
//only disable these fields on edit page
if(!bp_is_profile_edit())
return $fields;
//please change it with the name of fields you don't want to allow editing
$field_to_remove=array("User Role");
$count=count($fields);
$flds=array();
for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
if(in_array($fields[$i]->name,$field_to_remove))
unset($fields[$i]);
else
$flds[]=$fields[$i];//doh, I did not remember a way to reset the index, so creating a new array
}
return $flds;
}

It works neither with

"Mitglieder-Kategorie (Team oder Fan?)"

nor with

Mitglieder-Kategorie (Team oder Fan?)

nor with:

'Mitglieder-Kategorie (Team oder Fan?)'

Have you already deleted these two bogus accounts ?

Maybe try to use BP without other plugins. Only WP+BP and 2014 theme to get sure anything is working.
If you’re on your first BP experience, you can also add some fake content with bp defaut data plugin, so it would be easier for you to see how things go on.

If you configured correctly BuddyPress such a test install works within minutes.

would love to see an answer to this as we have the same problem with phantom BuddyPress Notifications. People have numbers in the blue circle but when they click they get an error message and I’ve tried resetting the system cache but no luck.
THanks,

Hi @barchiola

The @-mentions interface has been recently improved actually. Check out the BuddyPress 2.1 “Patsy” blog post for more info on the revamp.

You’re using a premium plugin here, really the question should be posed to their support.

This question ir remarkably similar to this thread which is probably the route you need to follow.

@summersoul
Have you considered hiring a pro? Try posting:

BP Jobs Board

or:
http://jobs.wordpress.net/

BuddyPress does not provide forums.
It will work together with bbPress to provide forums.

Get BP working first.

To set-up BP read: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/

Try this in bp-custom.php

function ideas_change_buddypress_text( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {

    if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )  
        return $translated; 

    switch ( $original_text ) {
    
        case 'Friends <span>%d</span>':
            return 'Connections <span>%d</span>';

        case 'Friends':
            return 'Connections';
            			
        default:
            return $translated;
    }
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'ideas_change_buddypress_text', 10, 3 );

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

@patrykkxd_

read here about premium theme

and here

I ma having the same problem. It started as soon as my new site was live (I just migrated servers at the same time as installing BuddyPress). I installed this honeypot https://wordpress.org/plugins/registration-honeypot/, and it helped a little, but I won’t be able to deal with this once I have real members registering since I can’t always tell who is real or fake.

There’s got to be a better way. Or at least a better admin view of new users so I can screem them with more profile data.

If you do nothing but activate BP then BP uses it’s version of buddypress styles from the minified file in BP’s core template directory, however if you overload that with your own copy of buddypress.css in the correct matching directory in your theme or child theme then BP will see that and use it instead (a normal non minified file). Don’t worry too much about script_debug it was/is a means of geting around an issue on development installs.

and isn’t it a downgrade in performance if the .min.css file is being lost to a custom .css file? Isn’t the point of the .min.css file to speed things up?

Yeah, essentially however the practise has never been one that was a mandatory one or even approved of by many older hands, css is a cached file, thus once downloaded the local cached copy is used, CSS is a text based declarative language and is intended to be human readable, removing white space renders a file uneditable/readable a possible issue if needing that file to edit and unminified version not available. Part of the experience and skill set of a good frontend coder working with CSS is knowing how to write rulesets correctly in a manner that doesn’t result in massive file bloat commonly seen nowadays with 50k+file sizes.

In answer, the speed increase is negligible but most will think that any saving is worth it *shrug*

FYI: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5888

>The only issue remaining now is that the members page is still paginating based on the ~2000 members.

That’s because BP has already collected all the members.
And then you decide which to display.
Instead, you should decide which members to collect and then just run the standard bp_members loop.

Take a look at:

BP_User_Query

You’ll have to adjust it to collect all the user ids for s2member_level2.
They probably have code for that.
And then change:

$query_array->query_vars['exclude'] = $this->custom_ids;
to
$query_array->query_vars['include'] = $this->custom_ids;

and change:

return $count - $new_count;
to
return $new_count;
