The problem with bp_core_signup_user is it’s executed during registration only. If a member decides to change their “Name” at a later date, I don’t think the corresponding WordPress fields will be updated.

I was dealing with this problem too. It might not be exactly what you’re looking for, but in my case I just decided to hook into the BP signup, extract the full name, split it at the first space and then update the WordPress ‘first_name’ and ‘last_name’ user metadata fields with the results.

Here is the code you can add to your functions.php or custom plug-in:

// define the bp_core_signup_user callback 
function ac_bp_core_signup_user( $user_id ) { 
    // make action magic happen here...
    $fullname = bp_get_member_profile_data( array( 'field' => 'Name', 'user_id' => $user_id ) );
   //split the full name at the first space
   $name_parts = explode(" ", $fullname, 2);

   //set the firstname and lastname for WordPress based on the BP name
   //firstname
   if( isset($name_parts[0]) )
        update_user_meta( $user_id, 'first_name', $name_parts[0] );

   //lastname
   if( isset($name_parts[1]) )
       update_user_meta( $user_id, 'last_name', $name_parts[1] );

   //not needed for an action, but I always like to return something
   return $fullname;
}

// BuddyPress save first name last name to WP profile on signup 
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'ac_bp_core_signup_user', 10, 1 );

Thanks for the reply, so you’re saying I should rename this field to “First Name” and create a secondary field for “Last Name” ?

That’s one approach you could take.

If there is nothing special about the field, is there a hook or filter where I can replace the field entirely and map them to first / last name fields in WordPress?

I think not unfortunately. You could request one be added by opening a ticket on Trac

Yup, it’s failing on groups_is_user_member() in bp-groups\bp-groups-functions.php.

You could hack that function, but I think what you really need is a filter hook on the return.
Then your task would be simple.

groups_post_update() in bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress-functions.php uses groups_is_user_member()

You could create an enhancement ticket on trac.

I do not use Twitter. When I register for a WordPress website, I do not realize that the username will be revealed in BuddyPress. I prefer to see my username as part of the login secret and I think many of my BuddyPress friends will feel the same. I would like to see a setting that makes it possible to use the real name or the nickname on screen as is the case for comments to postings in WordPress. Or a plugin to do so.

this may be a good start https://wordpress.org/plugins/match-me-for-buddypress/

Not defined yet. It’s still a work in progress.

or follow tickets related to “bp-nouveau” on Trac.

I commented on this behavior in this ticket comment:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7051#comment:3

BuddyPress sets the Reply-To email header to the admin email’s address by default.

To override this, you have to use the 'bp_email_set_reply_to' filter since 'wp_mail_from' only handles the From email address header and not Reply-To header.

The following would work:

add_filter( 'bp_email_set_reply_to', function( $retval ) {
    return new BP_Email_Recipient( 'noreply@example.com' );
} );

In addition, read here the main reason for media upload limit and get some hints to (evtl.) increase it.

Hi,

ever heard about MyCred plugin ? Give it a try, was initially made for BuddyPress… 😉

Note: bbpress can work with BuddyPress, but is a separate plugin, with his own support. Here we help only for BuddyPress.

Hi,

2 – define (‘WPLANG’, ‘en_US’); in wp-config
3 – Dashboard >> Settings >> General >> Site Language (buuddpress-en_US is not in the list)

2 is no more necessary since WP 4.0. Remove it.
3 is not intended to show in that list. General settings are for WordPress language, not for plugins.

WP’s language files use only the domain name (en_UK.mo, en_US.mo, be_BE.mo, etc)
Plugin language files like BuddyPress use their name in addition to the domain (buddypress-fr_FR.mo, buddypress-en_US.mo, and so on)

In your case, you can use WP default language setting (english) and a more specific lang for BP, en_US. It is an avantage for you, as there are only few difference beetwen US and GB, and you can even omit BP translation, as it is coded in english. The situation is much more annoying for all other non english languages!

BuddyPress doesn’t use breadcrumbs. This belongs to bbpress and sometimes to a theme or a plugin.

Ask on respective support. Or try out this plugin.

This is the method I use

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

using loco translate plugin

Please read WordPress Codex and follow the install instructions.
Your issue is not related to BuddyPress.

Installaling a plugin has nothing to do with settings!
And it is not possible that WordPress recommands to use /something/ after index.php.
If it does, please give the link to that documentation.
Here the one related to htaccess. Normally this file is generated automatically the first time you install/activate WordPress. On a usual install, his content is “basic” (explained in the doc).

Again, read through BuddyPress documentation.

In fact, you have nothing special to do, except to control bp’s setting and WP’s permalinks. It is probably there where you have “index” appearing wrong.

@airathalitov, yes you have 😉

@henrywright,

you’re right but not in this case. PHP 7.x related issues can be reported on that ticket (7392).

See Paul’s answer on #7406.

ola,

haven’t you seen that you can enter a title for that field ?
