You named the culprit: I am using wp 4.0 and bp 2.1 with buddypress default theme.

bp-default is somehow retired since BP 1.9 and is in for backwards compatibility only.

Give a try to 2014 theme and see if this solve your issue.

@1a-spielwiese

Maybe nice, but it’s a commonly admited bad idea to let users style your site.
If you want italics for some field title, you can do that by CSS.

As stated by Boone for BP 2.1
Extra CSS classes have been added to Profile Field visibility field elements, allowing greater CSS customization.

For more indeep customization, consider this plugin (thought needs a good coding level)

BP version and theme name please.
Are you able to create a new field in another group as “Base” ?
Also, have you saved your change ?

BP’s xProfile component is not intended to be used as text editor, like the one you use to publish posts.

So far i know, ACF plugin doesn’t handle xprofile fields. But you can use it on Group component.

Hi @willandmae

Take a look at BuddyPress Like:

Hi @adjunkten

Your path seems slightly off. It should be wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress/members/single/

And I think the file you need to edit is member-header.php

Yes:

• Settings/BuddyPress/Compenents: Activate ‘Exteneded Profiles’

then:

• user/profile fields/add field – select the ‘field type’ you like

@1a-spielwiese Sorry it’s not working out for you. I just installed a reddle child theme with all the code provided in above link in my server and it’s working fine without the simple css plugin. Let’s double-check that you have all the necessary materials:

– theme folder e.g. reddle-child
– style.css file in reddle-child theme folder
– functions.phpfile in reddle-child theme folder
– buddypress.php file in reddle-child theme folder

This isn’t a bbPress issue, bbPress doesn’t currently import subscriptions from phpBB so bbPress has no way of knowing what topic or forum a user is subscribed to to be able to send them an email.

I’m pretty sure you’ll find this is BuddyPress sending them if you have it activated, per @halo-diehard same issue here, https://buddypress.org/support/topic/mass-notifications-of-old-mentions/

One of these days I’ll get to reading BuddyPress’ source code in it’s entirety but I haven’t as yet!

I think this should do the trick to stop things though:

remove_action( ‘bp_activity_sent_mention_email’, ‘bp_activity_at_message_notification’, 10, 5 );

@imath published a little snippet who let you use BP 2.1 new @mention from within the bbpress editor.

bp-default is more or less outdated since BP 1.9 and you better have to activate a more recent theme.

If you prefer to play “old school”, verify that your bp-default is correctly setup.
Read also here about minifying css, as things can be broken around js in some case.

I’m not aware of such a WP / BP site.

The plugins you mention re integration should provide a structure for you to get most of the way [ maybe all the way ] tp your goal.
It will be a lot of work.

I suggest you set up a dev site and start experimenting.
Get a basic payments flow working first.
If you’re not a developer, you’ll need one at some point.

BP Jobs Board

BP uses a timestamp called last_activity to track members.
If they have not logged in since you installed BP [ or since they registered or were added by a site admin ], they won’t show up in the members list because they do not have a last_activity timestamp.

Did you show up in the BP members list?
If not, then there are other problems.

If so, you can use this function to add a timestamp to each member.
Put it in bp-custom.php, load the site once and then delete the function.

function add_activity_ts() {
  global $wpdb;
  foreach ( $wpdb->get_col( "SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->users" ) as $user_id ) {
    bp_update_user_last_activity( $user_id );
  }
}
add_action('bp_init', 'add_activity_ts', 11);

Once you reached 50k users you can probably hire a full time server engineer anyway… 😉

Here an example of a very big community (+80k users) using BuddyPress.

Glad to bring some help to the future competitor of Google, Amazon, E-Bay and Facebook thinking about NoSql in the early stage of his project.

That said i doubt a little that WordPress is tailored for a such ambition. Give news when you have 5k users. 😉

Perhaps a typo error ?

#buddypress #whats-new-options {
overflow: fixed;

}

Try height: 50px;

@monicajay:
You can easily add one more profile field as “confirm email” from dashboard->users->Profile Fields.
You don’t need to mess with bp files.
For validation, you just need to add few lines of code to match email ID using javascript(for client side validation). It doesn’t need high level of coding skill.

@dhyana:
Don’t add fields directly in the core file, Buddypress provides you option page to add fields here. dashboard->users->Profile Fields
