Ah, forgot to reply this one.

For the code, I don’t know, we use a theme for this.

So, conclusion : I don’t know where’s the source of the age calculation. I just thought Buddypress does it automatically. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Thanks.

@djpaul I have also upraded Buddypress to the version 2.1.1 But I don’t see any changes for the age of members (still 44 years old for all).

@djpaul Hi, thank you for your respond.

My website is a dating site, and we are using Buddypress. I don’t have problem with dates and blog release date. We are using a theme bought in Theme Forest for this, and even them, they do not really understand how come all our members have same age of 44.

Well, I tried and it didn’t work. I can see what I added to the CSS when I inspect an element and I see the following:

1) I can see the code I added but it’s strikedout:

#buddypress #whats-new-options {
overflow: fixed;
height: 60;
}

Check this picture: http://imgur.com/LqsVbbX

2) I can see that the original code is still there and is still valid:

#buddypress #whats-new-options {
overflow: auto;
height: 0;
}

3) There is a tic beside the [overflow: auto;], when I remove that tick using inspect element everything works just perfect.

4) I added to the child theme directory [js][/js] folder and inside that folder I added [buddypress.js] file and I adjusted the height to 60 instead of 20 and 40 for them all inside that buddypress.js.

This didn’t work because I miss from where the [overflow: auto;] is reading their auto and why I can’t change it to fix.

The 60 is just a hypothetical number to see if things work but things are not working.

Thanks

@jadams1974:

“your top bar”

Do you mean the Menu-Tabs on the BuddyPress-pages?

It’s for the first line (background-color: Teal)

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs {
    background: #008080
}

and for the second line (background-color: Gainsboro)

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs#subnav ul li {
	background: #DCDCDC
}

And the (bold, 97.5%-seize) DarkMangenta-font-color is produced for all my links with:

a {
    color: #8b008b;
    font-size: 97.5%;
    font-weight: bold;
}

Thank you for your reply,
When I hover over the one user that is not an admin I get to see ‘spam’, so it looks like WordPress does not see it as a spammer. the other user is an admin, so why on earth would Buddypress mark that as a spammer?
I registered a new user and it is marked as spammer right away by BP, WP does not because I can click the ‘spam’ button from the users list.

I installed BP on my other local test site and there it works fine….
I guess you guys need more info so please let me know as Im really in need of solving this.

Thanks!

will buddypress automatically compress the buddypress.css file to the buddypress.min.css format if i edit the buddypress.css file?

Not sure when it will be ready, I’m integrating some bespoke functionality to link with BuddyPress and WordPress so it’s been taken down.

Also have to think about some sort of mobile / tablet situation as it never had one before.

I’ll come back here when it gets going again.

Okay so… the diffference is bbpress & buddypress. So I used a bbpress shortcode. Ok ok. ^^

But if I just attach a page, you say, then a register form will automatically appear on that page? Or is there anything else I need to do first?

EDIT : I made a new blank page, attached it, & now it works.

So my final question & the topic can be closed:
–> Can I create/design a page & then “somehow” insert that same register form on my freshly designed page? 🙂 ( cuz now its just a blank-page with the form on it. )

Could u point me in the right direction please?

BuddyPress does not have shortcodes.

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
Then whats this website? 😀 I dont understand.

1.If I dont add the shortcode, then this page wont show any form. Only an empty div with the background color.

2.Everything propperly attached as stated in post#1 ^^
3.No single site.

Kind regards,

Also, do most people use a Buddypress theme or a regular WP theme?

O. M. G. I just went to test this and make a screenshot for you and sure enough it does work! I swear it didn’t before, but clearly it was user error. Sorry to waste your time.

Now if someone could just give the same answer to my other question that would be awesome! 😉

Kk, sorry it took so long to get back to this; I had to walk away from it all for a bit as my whole setup is taking more of my time than I am able to produce any content, and I’m ready to throw in the towel.

I just took a peek in my database and it looks like the plugin just takes the person’s account name from whatever account they log into and uses that for everything, the login, nicename and display/nickname, so no way of knowing which one it pulls the @mention from.

I’m assuming in a normal registration it takes it from the person’s first and last name, though? This probably works on a lot of “business”-types sites, where people use their birth-names anyway, but the vast majority of forums I’ve visted show that people prefer to use quirky, expressive names that reflect their personalities. For this reason, I think BuddyPress would better serve a lot of forums with the @mentions if there were at least an option to use the nicename instead of the username.

I understand it gets really complicated with people being able to change their nicename, but on most forums people don’t get to do that, only Admins can do that for them, because it confuses the other membership; they don’t know who’s “talking”.

So for a ton of people who are used to phpbb3-type forums, it would be great to turn off the ability to change nicenames and have nicenames be @mentions. Or even have nicenames be @mentions, and if you change your nicename, your @mention just has to stay the same, because it’s just too complicated to get the coding to do that, but still, nicename over “real name”, because when you put your real name in a forum you don’t expect it to be used as your forum name, you just don’t. And hand-holding or no, it *will* discourage people from using a forum.

There’s mah feedbacks, lemmie know if there’s anymore database peeking you’d like me to do, and thanks for trying to help 🙂

sorry buddypress 2.1 wordpress 4.0
