BuddyPress.org

Yes that user would have to be active to show up in the bp member list, you’d have to actually login once with that id

Is it test users you want to populate?

There’s a couple of plugins that will create test user information and traffic, including groups for a test site.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-default-data/

Hi,

did you activate the user ?
or have you omit to uncheck Send User Notification ?

If you’re doing this just to test BP with some content, use better BP Default Data

See this tutorial if it helps.

Which option in particular are you looking for?

You should see these:

Profile Settings

Profile Photo Uploads Allow registered members to upload avatars
Cover Image Uploads Allow registered members to upload cover images
Profile Syncing Enable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing

Groups Settings

Group Creation Enable group creation for all users
Administrators can always create groups, regardless of this setting.
Group Photo Uploads Allow customizable avatars for groups
Group Cover Image Uploads Allow customizable cover images for groups

Yep I’ve been playing with it myself tonight, I found that you can also personalise those BuddyPress pages that are static and have a WordPress page such as Members or Groups.

It’s a shame it only does half the job and I’m not sure the Pro version does all of the other half, it does Groups, which I think is a big thing – to have each group sidebar as unique as the group is a nice idea. But there are other pages I’m not sure even the pro version covers.

I might be wrong though so I’m planning on testing it.

Yes, you are looking for Content Aware Sidebars, this plugin allows you to create sidebars for each individual profile page view if you wanted to, it’s a little complex at first. I ended up just putting every possible profile page view into the one sidebar and choosing to replace the default sidebar with that.

I did the tests you recommended and it was my W3 Total Cache plugin that was causing the issue. I will have to look into that to figure out what setting was messing it up. @Scaffies doesn’t have that plugin, so guess our issues were caused by different things.

I could maybe help out! I estimate that it would cost ~$100-200. I specialize in WordPress plugin extensions, you can check my website out at http://coffeywebdev.com!

I’ve been pretty busy lately, but I found a potential solution on these forums:

I’d be happy to help you make these adjustments, you can direct message me about cost/timeline/etc.

In members-loop.php use this

<?php 
if ( bp_has_members(bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’).’&type=alphabetical’) ) : 
?>

Hi @davidself1001,

i think BP Profile Tabs is a plugin to create “nice looking tabs using the jQuery UI”, it is not the xprofile component !

xprofile fileds and field groups (the tabs) management is located at
dashboard > users > profile fields. What you see on that screen is normally what you have in the DB.
Once you created fields and field groups in xprofile, you will see the group tabs in the plugin.

You misunderstood me.

Remove any define’profile’ and it each time you visit a profile the default activity screen will show up.

But this may not work in your configuration as anything related to, at least, BuddyPress is going through site/activity/something/. You have to check for this as it is wrong.

Perhaps in Dashboard > settings > general. What is WordPress URL and site URL ? Or have you added activity in a plugin or even in htaccess ?

Hi,

you’re using a one page theme, which is not the easiest to start with for a beginner.

I would recommand that you read first your theme documentation.

One of the first line of the documentation contains:
This WordPress theme can be entirely configured via WordPress Theme Customizer […].

I encourage you to use that feature, before adding custom code.

I tested the theme. Downloaded and activated. I didn’t upload the bunch of additionnal plugins recommanded by the author. At a first glance, all seems to work correctly. And my register page has a header.

Out of the box, the theme comes with a header image. You can change it via the customizer.
Dashboard > Apparence > Header

As it is a one page, you have no (easy)possibility to assign different headers to different pages, like what you apparently try to do. The BP register page runs with the same header as the site.

To change the CSS or BP templates, you need a child-theme. This let you make customization without loosing your changes after a theme, a BP or WP update.

In the style.css of the child theme, you add this rule for the new header color:

#header .bottom-header h2 {
    color: #000;
}

You can, for test purpose, add it to /illdy/style.css (which is empty). But be aware that it will certainly be overwritten at next update.

Any other question related to your theme should be asked on theme support (you already asked there for the same as here).

BP is a WP plugin, don’t be confused by what i wrote. By same level i was meaning this :
BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory. (install guide::Required)

Glad you got it back to normal.

@johnykoch Well, it’s gated — I’m not getting past the homepage (registration) without creating an account, which I’m not going to do just to see the site. That said, it does feel slow.

Are you using any kind of caching? Page caching? Object caching? If you could list your plugins, that’d be helpful to help you if you don’t know.

Your homepage is 1.5Mb (!) and takes 5 seconds to load for me. Both are pretty heavy for such a light-looking page, you might want to look into that.

Using the logged-out homepage to test on isn’t a bad idea. I’d suggest starting by adding https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/ which will only show up for Admin users, and load the homepage a few times, and see if it tells you anything useful. Notably, PHP warnings or errors, as well as slow Database Queries.

That’s a good start, and I can offer further advice on the specifics of each of these if you require as you’re able to supply further data.

Spam is a serious subject, not a taboo. WordPress codex talks about. Why shouldn’t BP do the same, specially because it can drain spam which need special attention ?

If you read Hardening WordPress, you will find a lot of references to third party plugin. I don’t believe there is an issue, if you mention wordpress plugins available on the plugin repo. Even premium plugins can be mentionned i think, as long as you specify they are premium.

It’s a temporary information and i wouldn’t try to alter or remove it.

It use WP heartbeat API and what you’re looking for is defined in this (filterable)function:

bp_activity_heartbeat_last_recorded
