BuddyPress.org

Do you mean “friends” as BuddyPress hasn’t a follow option ?
Or do you use this plugin ?

@kullus,

please read here:

Bumping after 20mn is a bit abused, no ?

If you use BP, you can edit, add or remove custom profile fields if you activate the extended profile component.

To add an external plugin to the user profile edit, try to add it to the profile template.
Or modify the plugin so he use BP specific templates.

BuddyPress Plugin Development

Add Meta Box to Admin Extended User Profile

and much more to read on codex and forum.

@henrywright,

good idea really.
I have same issue as @peter-hamilton
Local single install, WP 4.1.1, 2012, php 5.5.12 with only BP 2.2, bbPress and bp-default-data

Admin use gmail, and also all dummy users created with BDD plugin.

– first time i activated BI, all users showed the mystery man. And plugin works, as i see the border.
– changed profile photo of admin: custom picture appeared.
– removed the picture: identicon appeared on the admin account.
-tried to do same thing with a dummy user. Nothing happened.
– create a new user from back office, with gmail address, identicon showed up
– all other dummy users comes with mystery man.

– manually created a identicons folder in /uploads/

– modified all dummy user mail address. Mystery man still showing.
– applied a custom picture to one, ok, then removed. Mystery man again.

– tried global settings to “empty avatar”. Nada ! Reverted to default MM setting and still no identicon.

By default, members that haven’t uploaded a profile photo are given a mystery-man avatar. This BuddyPress plugin automatically replaces default avatars.

BI seems to work only for newly users, with a big exception for the site admin.
gmail icon has no priority, even if it is not a “default” picture.

But it is not uploaded, which may probably be the logical disturbing point of this issue ?

On a dev site, using this plugin would really help to avoid calling an external avatar service.
Would also be true for a prod site, where specially gravatars are mentionned to be optimized as they slow down page speed.

Implementing some options to the existing WP avatar settings to allow/disallow gravatar, gmail, etc , or to let BI playing alone OR aside existing settings, would be a huge improvement.

Hello @alice-kaye,

you’re not alone with that issue, which can sit in the theme (the case of 2015) or in a SEO plugin.
BP canonical names and some SEO conventions are not best friends at the moment… Sorry.

Hi @matthias70

The theme used here is open source. See the Open Sourcing BuddyPress.org blog post for more info. Feel free to look at the source code after reading that to see how it’s done.

Yes, I should have done that / should do that :

If you want to apply your own CSS, override the plugin’s styles by adding the following to your theme’s stylesheet. That way you won’t lose anything going forward.

Thanks. Why it has not been added to the BP plugin page? Please add.

PS : Just now saw it has been added. Thanks.

The readme says: To remove the border, paste the following into your functions.php file:

add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'bp_identicons_deregister_style', 100 );

function bp_identicons_deregister_style() {
	wp_deregister_style( 'buddypress-identicons' );
}

This can also be done by just changing the padding value in the css

.avatar {
	box-sizing: border-box;
	padding: 0px;
	background-color: #eee;
}

Very cool. The readme has an useful FAQ too. Thanks a lot. Recommended!

Please add it to https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/

Guessing this is the same as this ticket you opened?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6238

Probably best to keep to one thread initially rather than opening the question in two separate places, and best to begin with the forum until such time as proven to be a bug and confirmed then a ticket can be raised.

How were you managing the number of viewed comments?
