You could always use this snippet and maybe adjust the height of the field/container if needed:
This is just an example in the BuddyX theme – can be done with other themes too.

.buddyx-mem-cover-img {
  visibility: hidden;
}

.buddyx-mem-cover-wrapper {
  height: 100px;
}

Hello again

Sorry for the late reply, I forgot to setup notifications on this post. 🙂

I now see what you’re trying to do and why you would use the Select2 options (looks cool!).

Now to my next question – what have you done to debug this? Have you tested if this is due to a compatibility issue within your current theme or with a third-party plugin maybe?

I’ve never used the Select2 myself, but I would like to test it out myself for sure. 😀

I also want to edit the registration page and customise the messages on it and the way it looks, so I tried this too. What I did was, I created a child theme in its own separate folder called buddyx-child. Since the steps say to

`Paste it into your theme folder in wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress/members/register.php.

I created a folder called “buddypress” in the child theme folder, then in that folder, created a folder called “members”, and copied and pasted the “register.php” file there and made my edits there. I typed some test messages using the paragraph HTML tag <p> and the message shows on the registration page, BUT the visual layout of the page changes. I don’t know why that is when it’s supposed to inherit the CSS from the parent theme. If I move the “register.php” file out of the buddypress/members/ directory and put it directly in my “your-theme” (ie my child theme) directory, then it doesn’t work at all and the child theme just inherits the original registration page.

Anyone with any ideas?

Hi,

It is difficult tell since the error message is missing backtrace info. Furthermore, I’m not getting that error with:

• WP 6.7
• BP 14.2.1
• PHP 8.3

Just for GP and long story short, I placed the function bp_get_the_profile_field_id(); in functions.php of a child theme in an attempt to replicate the error. Query Monitor revealed the error was caused by the aforementioned function, see the following screenshot:

Hi @miednr,

I’m not sure why you are having difficulties with a BuddyPress installation on a multisite whereby blog posts are not showing up in the Activity stream when configured to do such.

At the moment, I’m not able to duplicate your situation because blog posts are showing up in my Activity stream in a multisite installation. As can be seen in the following screenshot:

Since blog posts work for me and not for you, we need to figure out the difference(s) in our installations and what I have as the basics are (running on a LAN):

• WordPress 6.7 – multisite with subdirectories
• BuddyPress 14.2.1 – network activated on secondary site
• All BuddyPress components activated
• Default BuddyPress options plus “Post Comments” enabled
• TwentyEleven theme used on secondary site
• Pretty permalinks used on secondary site

Additionally, the installation guide I used is “Case 2” from the following document:

BuddyPress Activation Guide for WordPress Multisite

Maybe if we start on some common ground, we should eventually figure out what may be going astray with your installation, well at least that would be the theory.

And you use the BuddyX theme with BuddyPress and not the BuddyBoss Platform right?

Hello again 🙂

This might start to make sense then!

First, when you translate something within the code itself (not using a translation plugin and po/mo file) it will for the most part be overridden whenever you update your WordPress / plugins that are translated. So, this might be why it doesn’t work now after the update.

I personally use a combination of LocoTranslate and TranslatePress. This is because BuddyPress activity is updated the way it is and for that reason LocoTranslate itself is not able to translate the dynamic content (like when activity updates – without the page doing so) – this TranslatePress supports.

So, for the BuddyPress content that can’t be translated correctly using LocoTranslate, I use the TranslatePress for those. Both plugins are free to use, and it doesn’t require you to purchase any expensive addons.

It’s important that you pick the right placement for your translation-files (custom, author, system). If they’re not in the right place the translation might not show up on the front-end. Also make sure you setup the settings within the LocoTranslate plugin not to override your translated files upon updating WordPress: Loco Translate > Settings > File system access > Modification of installed files & Editing of POT (template) files must be set to Disallow.

For the display name, this should be the default value it sorts by. Mine by default sorts by display name. When you go to Users > Profile Fields – you can edit the different settings from within there with the names and what is mandatory/not mandatory.

For the sorting part (or other features in the future) if it still causes issues, maybe a snippet code using a plugin like WPCode Lite might be a better solution rather than going into the code and edit it from there. In this way it will not get affected in most cases when you update WordPress, plugins and theme.

Maybe some of this can help you – if not – then feel free to keep me updated. 🙂

Sounds like compatibility issue within the theme then. Have you tried it with a BuddyPress supported theme?

You can add users from back-end, yes.. but the users still need to “activate” their account and login for them to show up on the front-end (in directory).

Does the member show up in the normal member directory? – and is the issue only with the “alphabetical search”? .. My alphabetical search works fine, so might be a theme compatibility issue.

Have you cleared both server and browser cache?
