BuddyPress.org

I had a similar problem when I upgraded yesterday.

Does this in your functions.php or bp-custom.php help?

`add_action(‘get_header’, ‘my_filter_head’);

function my_filter_head() {
remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘_admin_bar_bump_cb’);
}`

Why it wasn’t a problem before is another question….

On a regular BP install, you have Name (aka pseudonym), used to show the username publicly . The first & last name are WP fields you can see only on the dashboard when you edit a user. At this place, WP gives you some choices between different names to use. Depending on your own BP settings – allow WP & BP members synchronization, this choice maybe work or not (never used this personnaly – i always allowed synchro)

That said, you have no control over what user type into a name field. Nore on WP/BP register fields, nore on FB or any other forms. Using external service such as FB maybe simple for the end user, rarely for site admins, as you experimented already.

You could also use Gravatar, it would be the same principe: one place to fill in a form and use it all over the web for any further subscription.

If you want more control over such things, you have not much choice except to be independant from external devices. And even in this case, some user will enter two names or more into the Name field.

I don’t know if searching by (last)names instead of username is possible. Users must know the real name to search for it. And so far i know, real names are generally not used/showed on public sites, for many reasons. FB is a kind of exception, but who gives you the guarantee that each FB user use his “real name” ?

Why do you absolutly want your user to use FB autoconnect to enter on your site ?
Have your regular user the same possibility when they want to enter FB ? No !

@panoravu,

you asked for any clean solution for my members to register without using a username.

Registering is a WP process who need a username and a email. Those 2 information are provided by the user at his first visit when he decide to subscribe to your site, OK ?

Now you wonder how FB or Google can connect without username ? They use it ! But don’t show it to you, but fill in the username at your place during the login process, which is not the registering process, WP search the stored username and find the accordance between this name and the email provided by FB or Gg.

On the same maner, if you create with help of a plugin a WP account with your FB account, FB provide a username and a email. The username and the email you give on registering to FB. Again, this is made silently in the background.

These subscription tricks have only one target: simplifying user’s life. Don’t imagine because you don’t see the whole process, that some information are not needed. In our case, you don’t see the username, but it is still there.

The file you are uploading was rejected by the server.
It probably contents viruses or trojans that can damage your website

Do not attempt to upload it again as your IP address may be blocked.

Hi there, app works but i can not post status updates, it just says “user posted an
update” but the message is missing.

No. WP has one user base. You don’t need multi site to use BuddyPress

@fpats Just to clarify,
– did you just activate the BP Template Pack plugin for MADE (the theme already has BP folders like /activity/, /groups/, etc. within theme folder)
– or do you also have to go through Appearance > BP Compatibility (whereby BP folders have to be transferred to your theme’s folder in server) ?

If you went through Appearance > BP Compatibility process, check out this article https://codex.buddypress.org/bp-17-upgrading-template-packed-themes/
Reminder: back up your theme folder with the BP files first

But yes, the upgrade would be an easier process for you if theme author could direct users on best way to upgrade to BP 1.7

I noticed the henrywright-1 – it hasn’t always been this way. I’m not 100% sure but I think the user database from wordpress.com and wordpress.org was merged with me taking the “-1” username. That is no better than a guess but I can’t think how else the -1 was appended

To help with your problem – if you log into the wordpress dashboard (wp-admin), go to Users > All users. You should see a list of every user that has signed up via BuddyPress. You can perform delete actions on the users you’d like to remove.

@drkknight32 that’s fine. Default url for member if WP is at domain root is e.g.
= http://www.example.com/members/drkknight32/ and you posted that you have no file bp-custom.php in server at wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php with the code I posted above, then something else is rewriting the URI from default.

WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? If you change to BP default theme, is issue corrected? What plugins do you have installed? If you deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress, is issue corrected?

Use this link as a starting point and then read subpages. Links in sidebar

@lchief this is a WordPress Multisite issue which would be better served at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite. Please make sure that your multisite installation along with domain mapping are working before installing BuddyPress.
