BuddyPress.org

Thanks for the response… to answer your questions:
– No – I did not import users from an older site.
– Yes – I am hosted on wpEngine
– I did try repair tools already with no effect.
– I’ve checked avatar settings and don’t see anything amiss. I’m not sure why that is a question though as my issue isn’t with avatars (my new users haven’t even been able to add avatars yet because of this issue). It’s the entire profile page that doesn’t load and instead gets a Page Not Found error.
– Members import – I imported this particular list just once. I used it two other times a year ago for different lists with no problem.
– WP & BP users are supposed to be synced per my BP settings, but I’m not sure that’s happening correctly.

I will try deactivating the outdated plugsin you mentioned again, but I’ve already tried deactivating all of them once and didn’t see any effect. If that doesn’t work, I’ll open up a ticket as suggested.

Thanks again for your help.. if you have additional ideas at this point, I’d love to hear them.

I asked on BB press forum already, resolved first question. But the 2 last questions are Buddypress related.
Can you please advice?

Hi Henry,

I’ve just installed it now and am starting to fiddle. Will definitely check out that BP Profile Search. Will come back to this thread if I have any more questions.

Thank you!

@dreammyw0w:

I also need help with restyling my register-page…
Can anyone tell me where to start?

1st:

Restyle you can it via a WordPress-Plugin like ‘Simple Custom CSS’ or the style.css within your child-theme-folder:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Helpful is as well a plugin like Firebug for Firefox.

2nd:

For reshaping the content as well you have to deal with the wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php

3rd:

Regarding further questions it would be helpful, if you would describe precisely, what you want to change:

Post a link to your blog and a jpg-file (modified screenshot), where is high-lighted, what you want to change.

@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 !

Yes to all those questions. I can install any other plugin I want without any issues.

Hello,

I tried installing the “bp-theme-pack” plugin from an old backup we had since it’s no longer available on WordPress.org and didn’t seem to make a difference. However, I have (since posting this) made some progress. I guess what my biggest challenge is, so many things have changed since my last using BP.

I may post back with some questions but right now I’ve finally made some progress.

Thank you for your reply.

I decided to test theses instructions – and in general they work.

My registration page has now a new design:

http://1a-spielwiese.de/registrieren/

This result I got using two means:

1st:

I tested with ‘Simple Custom CSS’-Plugin that code:

#buddypress .standard-form #basic-details-section, #buddypress .standard-form #blog-details-section, #buddypress .standard-form #profile-details-section {
    border: 2px solid #8b008b;
	float: none;
  	clear: left;
  	width: 100%;
  	padding: 10px;
  	margin-bottom: 1em;
}

#user-role-section {
  	border: 2px solid #8b008b;
    float: none;
    width: 100%;
  	padding: 10px;
}

#wp_rar_user_role {
      width: 100%;
    }

h4-a {
	color: #8b008b;
	font-size: 11px;
	font-size: 1.1rem;
  	font-weight: bold;
	letter-spacing: 0.05em;
	line-height: 1.9091;
	text-transform: uppercase;
}

.wp-editor-container {
    border: 1px solid #DCDCDC;
}

Finally I will insert it into my child-theme.

2nd:

The relecant section of the register.php with in my reddle-child/buddypress/members-folder is now:

3nd:

Nevertheless I have two questions regarding the design:

a) Why the 100%-width for #wp_rar_user_role is ignored?

b) How can I place the third section (‘Mitglieder-Kategorie’) above the other two sections (or between the other two sections)?

4th:

I recognised as well: Deleting there:

<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) : if ( bp_has_profile( array( 'profile_group_id' => 1, 'fetch_field_data' => false ) ) ) : while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>

'profile_group_id' => 1, results in getting not only displaying the ‘base group’ of the xProfile fields, rather all fields of all field groups. 🙂

Questions:

a) How can I get the names (titels) of the different xProfile field groups displayed as well?

b) How can I ensure, that only new members, which choose the user role ‘team’, get displayed the profile fields for teams and new members, which choose the user role ‘fan’, get displayed the profile fields for fans?

Many thanks, @henrywright, for your response and support.

Your suggestion was what the theme developers also suggested.

As far as I am aware, on wpengine users are unable to access their php.ini. file.

Perhaps i might define the memory in wp-config.php which is accessible ! ??

In the meantime i have replicated/tested a SUCCESSFULL implementation on THREE other servers (bluehost, hostgator & hostingireland).

All are basic bog standard very very cheap shared hosting and carrying a multisite/buddypress installation – and all that that entails. (and one of these is very slow which is understandable)

However the latest response from a very considerably more expensive wpengine is

As for the issue with the memory limit on the server, this is unfortunately a limitation on the server here.

Thank you and have a great day!

Quite!

So, the following questions remain:

A. How can I make profile fields, which are asigned only to one member category / user role, ‘required’? Cfr. above.

B. Anyone knows, whether there is a function already written, which allows to change or delete the standard user role in WP MultiSite?

C. What is the purpose of the penultimate step of the instructions of @noizeburger? – What have I to check for seeing, whether it works or not?

D. Why does the last step of the instructions of @noizeburger do not work for me? How can I make the member category / user role unchangeable for my members?

@amalsh / @jonaro / @lebearuk / @kamillamonkey and @jeffacubed:

Do you have any idea regarding this issues?

Verifying your questions

I can verify that Account Settings is checked on the BuddyPress Components tab of the BP settings page. Also I can verify that on the Buddypress Settings tab on the BP settings page that ‘Account Deletion’ is checked. I can provide screenshots if that is helpful.

Here is my process of trying to delete:

When I am logged into WP as a non-admin user, I see the user menu in the upper right. When rolling over it, I see the full menu and rolling over the settings menu item I see the submenu with the ‘Delete Account’ option. When I click that I go to a page https://[domain]/members/%5Bmember-name%5D/settings/delete-account/. This is the profile page with the Settings/Delete Account Tab already selected, some warning text about deleting an account being irrecoverable, a checkbox ‘I understand the consequences’ and the Delete Account button. When I check the box and click the button, it just returns me back to the delete page with an unchecked checkbox. No action seems to be taken and no warning appears.

Thanks,
Michael
