@shaquana_folks,

do you plan to ask the same question each day ? It’s the fourth time now, and you received many answers in the past 3 days. Or you received erroneous answers or you didn’t understand them or couldn’t find a solution by yourself. That’s life and i’m sorry for you but it’s just a forum here, not a miracle shop.

You say My hosting plan server is iPage (which uses NGINX), running a 5.0 PHP version.

If 5.0 is really the php version, you can’t use WP or BP with this old version as both require at least 5.2 version.

For Nginx server, have you read WP’s codex ?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Nginx
Search for nginx install on wordpress.org brings also several answers…

For paid consultants, post the job to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or BP Jobs Board.

Hi,
searching for a while now for a plug-in that watermarks the image that a user uploads.

Depends which image you’re speaking about. On a WP install, most images are loaded to Media Library. And for this you have at least a dozen of plugins to watermark pictures.

If you’re using a plugin with his own upload directory, you could try this plugin which let you select a specific folder.

By default, BP only handles with profile pictures, stored in /uploads/avatars/

Rendez Vous is the closest thing I know of. Feel free to search the Plugin Directory to see if anything else is available.

Have you tried Rendez Vous?

Have you tried WordPress SEO by Yoast?

Try Limit Groups Per User

This sounds like a job for WordPress Cron. Note that WordPress Cron works slightly different to the UNIX version in that it runs only if there is a site visit. So if your website has low traffic then use a service such as Pingdom to ensure your site is hit regularly.

@sebastianpierre BuddyPress is compatible with nearly all WordPress themes out of the box. I am assuming that you’re on the latest WordPress and BuddyPress verions. Change theme to either Twenty Fifteen or Twenty Fourteen, check if all the BP pages are showing up as expected. If it is, then double-check that you have the_title and the_content template tags in your custom theme’s page.php file.

bp-template-pack files in my root folder

Just to be clear, if you’re referring to this plugin https://github.com/boonebgorges/bp-template-pack then I suggest that you deactivate it and remove the folder/files you moved to your theme folder. If you’re referring to the bp-legacy files then I suggest that you resolve the issue of BP pages showing up in your theme first before doing any kind of customization.

Which theme do you use ?
Can you test youre install with Twenty Fifteen theme and see if anything is translated ?
Are the terms not translated on front-end, or also in back-end ?

FYI, the spanish translation for BP is only completed to 96%, but activity is translated. To ensure you have the most recent copy, download the spanish .mo file from here and install it in wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-es_ES.mo

Something may be getting lost in translation, but if you mean you want the user who has just logged in to be redirected to his/her profile, then check out https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-redirect-to-profile/

You could use current_user_can() to check the member’s capabilities. For example:

if ( current_user_can( 'edit_pages' ) ) {
    // Output button
}

I made some “progress”

I found this and I can agree that it is still true.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5971
Filtering is inconsistent and sometime happens twice.

I think this should be something to look into somewhat soon.

Anyway here is the minimum you have to do to turn off html filtering.

BUT it makes you website a lot more vulnerable to attacks and errors so use it at your own risk.

Add this code to your child theme function.php

//Unfilter xprofile *risky*

remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value',           'xprofile_filter_kses', 1 );
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_edit_value',      'wp_filter_kses',       1 );
remove_filter( 'xprofile_get_field_data',                  'wp_filter_kses', 1 );
remove_filter( 'bp_xprofile_set_field_data_pre_validate',  'xprofile_filter_pre_validate_value_by_field_type', 10, 3 );
remove_filter( 'xprofile_data_value_before_save',          'xprofile_sanitize_data_value_before_save', 1, 4 );

There’s a ticket about this here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3789

View the comments in that ticket for some approaches that you can take. If you need some hooks in BuddyPress to make this happen, let us know by replying to that ticket. Login using the same credentials as you use here on buddypress.org.

You could also think about using Gravatar and disabling avatar uploads as well. It’s probably not a valid option for your site, but just making sure you know! 🙂

Not that I know of. Have a read of How to Take Control of The WordPress Heartbeat API for an overview of the performance issues associated with it.

It seems this is in-progress. See 6057 for updates.

The plugin needs to be compatible with BuddyPress, not vice versa.
You should contact the plugin author and make that request.

I find this plugin incredibly helpful when managing — and allowing others to manage — the membership of groups, without availing them to the dashboard: https://wordpress.org/plugins/invite-anyone/

Hi @mecceo

Yes. You have 3 options:

• Search for a plugin on the Plugin Directory
• Write some code yourself. Feel free to ask any “how to” questions on here
• hire a developer

Is the Buddypress avatar handled the same way as the normal WordPress thumbnails? i.e. functions?

No. See the bp_core_avatar_handle_upload() function for how avatars are uploaded in BP.

Ref: https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/master/src/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php#L794

Since the member’s user name is ‘admin’, it will show as ‘@admin’.
You can’t change the user name after registration – unless you go directly into the database via a tool like phpmyadmin.
Or use a plugin like:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-renamer-extended/

also – you shouldn’t use ‘admin’ as a user name.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Brute_Force_Attacks#Don.27t_use_the_.27admin.27_username

You’ll have to create your own messages adminbar menu.

You can create a new menu item using:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_node

Or if you’re not using the WP Adminbar and have hardcoded that menu by yourself, you do not have to do anything.

Next, I would probably use JS to load the messages loop when you click on the “Messages” adminbar icon with AJAX.
