I have a large social network that I’ve migrated into BuddyPress. One of the features on the old site was to allow users to “unlock” private photos for certain users.
The new BuddyPress version of the site allows them to mark photos as private in rtMedia but I can’t find a solution / plugin to allow users to share or unlock that privacy restriction for some users.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 😀

Hi folks,
We’re running ClassiPress/SimplePress with BuddyPress installed. SimplePress has a PM system that we’ll be deactivating soon so that we can steer everyone to the BuddyPress system.
One feature we’ll miss though is the way SimplePress presents usernames that may match what you want as you begin to type the user you’re trying to PM. Type a B in the to: field and all of the users with a B in their usernames will be listed there almost immediately.
Can this be done with BuddyPress? It’s a great little feature and one we’re already starting to miss!
Thanks
Bart

Any suggestions?

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*
Hi there,
I am using the Enfold-theme & I just installed your lovely plug-in: Buddypress. Everything works great! Now, Buddypress uses its own CSS and thats normal.
What I am trying to do is “Make buddypress look like my Enfold-theme”.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I tried “search” and I read about child-themes etc… but I dont think thats what I am supposed to do?
I have good knowledge of CSS & HTML. Im just pretty new to wordpress.
I’d appreciate any help I can get (y)
An extra question: I also saw that this website uses buddypress, but the profile-page & other pages are different from the default buddypress. Is this also a theme for buddypress or?
so the answer is that BuddyPress will generate the .min.css file from my styles.css file? or is it this from another link?
Since version 2.1, BuddyPress minified stylesheet is used if SCRIPT_DEBUG is not set. This was preventing themes to override the stylesheet using a file named buddypress.css. This patch make sure that if a buddypress.css file is located in one of the allowed css subfolder it will override the one provided by BuddyPress.
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?
>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;
Alright, so here’s my update. I’ve gotten the list of profiles filtered, here is the code i’m using:
<?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>
<?php $user=bp_get_member_user_id();
$s2member_var = get_user_field ("s2member_access_role", $user);
if ($s2member_var == "s2member_level2") {
?>
The only issue remaining now is that the members page is still paginating based on the ~2000 members.
As should be seen in this snippet.
I was thinking maybe I could get more support for this question since it’s purely related to buddypress and not S2member?
Many thanks,
M
@hnla
I did try to ask the theme maker, they keep telling all of us to wait for the Buddypress update.
I don’t think they really know what’s going wrong also.
That’s why I opt for this forum directly, but who knows either that this problem does not come from Buddypress. That’s why I “asked” ^______^
About your questions, will come back to you soon. Thanks !
Well if you think it’s the theme try asking the theme authors how they are doing this, if they reply ‘we aren’t’ then you know it’s not the theme! or conversely try swapping themes and see if that dob field stops working.
What plugins that are listed as BP ones do you have running?, list them as there are ones that extend the profile field selectors such as this:
‘Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type’
which also will display the date picker as a age calculation if selected.
At the end of the day if you want help it’s going to be important for you to understand how your installation is working so you can impart information as it’s required, especially where the issues are not strictly core BP ones.
@hnla
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.
@bonnsaikitty
EDIT: how are you displaying ages? Can you share the code?
Paul asked you a question, it’s vital that you respond to these as it’s impossible to help people on threads without detailed info; also it’s important to understand that BuddyPress does not do any birthday calculations from that birthdate profile field so you must have something else at work, hence the question.
@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.
Using WPML, I have a problem,in Chinese,Arabbic,Russian,Japanese and Thai.
The tabs of the profiles does not work in this languages,but works in english,spanish,etc..
How can i fix this problem,maybe is because the problematic languages are using symbols (chirilic characters)?

Thank you!
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
@djpaul:
Cfr. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/display-age-on-profile-page/page/2/#post-158035:
Actually, whoever is logged in is the default age, and when logged out, everyone is age 0 in the member directory. When logged out each user’s profile page shows their proper age.
and:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/age-for-each-user-instead-of-age-for-logged-in-user/:
what have I to change for getting displayed the indiviual age of each member?
@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;
}
Sounds like an interesting problem. Do regular blog posts publish and display their dates correctly? Have you had problems with scheduled blog posts on this site?
Just initially trying to figure out if all the dates on your site are off by 44 years, or if it’s all BuddyPress dates, or just some dates in some specific part of BuddyPress. Thanks for your help.
EDIT: how are you displaying ages? Can you share the code?
Hi everyone,
we’re currently developing a website that will run WordPress and BuddyPress. There will be tens of thousands of users. We are now wondering if BP and WP are able to handle thousands of new comments per day or if this will cause any performance or database issues on the long run?
As a side note, the comments will also be shown on the respective users personal walls and some other places around the BuddyPress part of the site.
Does somebody have experience with this? Would love some insights 🙂
Harry
