BuddyPress.org

Nope, it returns an error that there are no members to display. I guess that I could replace ‘Robin van Persie’ with something blank like this

substr( strstr( ' ', ' ' ), 1 )

Just to clarify, this is the full code in my functions.php to sort the members:

 function alphabetize_by_last_name( $bp_user_query ) {
    if ( 'alphabetical' == $bp_user_query->query_vars['type'] )
        $bp_user_query->uid_clauses['orderby'] = "ORDER BY substring_index(u.display_name, ' ', -1)";
}
add_action ( 'bp_pre_user_query', 'alphabetize_by_last_name' );
 
// To reflect the alphabetical sorting of the member directory, you
// could also format the names to show the last name first. Here is
// a helper function to format names as follows: Last, First Middle
// Etc.
//
// To use this function every time a user's name is shown or queried,
// simply add it as a filter:
//
// <code>add_filter ('bp_get_member_name', 'format_last_name_first' );</code>
//
// To only reformat the name in the member directory, change your
// members/members-loop.php file in your (child)theme. Look for
// <code>bp_member_name()</code>
// and replace it with
// <code>echo format_last_name_first ( bp_get_member_name() );</code>
 
/**
 * Helper function for formatting a name: Last, First Middle Etc.
 *
 * @param string $name
 * @return string Formatted name
**/

function format_last_name_first( $name ) {
    if ( $first_space = strrpos( $name, " ") )
        $name = substr( $name, $first_space + 1 ) . ", " . substr( $name, 0, $first_space );
    return $name;
}
 
// BONUS: To make alphabetical sorting the default sorting, use the
// function below. 
//
// In order for this to work properly, <code><option value=&quot;alphabetical&quot;></code>
// must be the first option for the members-order-select in
// members/index.php.
 
function sort_members_alphabetically( $qs = '', $object = false ) {
    if( $object != 'members' ) //for members only
        return $qs;
 
    if ( empty( $qs ) || ! strpos( $qs, "type=" ) ) {
        $args = wp_parse_args($qs);
        $args['type'] = 'alphabetical';
        $args['action'] = 'alphabetical';
 
        $qs = build_query( $args );
    }
 
    return $qs;
}
add_action( 'bp_ajax_querystring', 'sort_members_alphabetically', 11, 2 );

I guess that members are sorted by the default WordPress first and last name fields right? Just because we’ve added some custom fields to the member profile pages to split their names in first name, ‘surname prefix (it’s for words like ‘van’ ‘de’) and last name. Not all members have a surname prefix though.

i think i found my problem.

in bp-core-functions.php there is this part:

// Nonce check failed
if ( empty( $result ) || empty( $action ) || ( strpos( $matched_url, $home_url ) !== 0 ) ) {
$result = false;
}

i wrote $matched_url and $home_url to the log-file and TADAA
$matched_url = http://localhost:40080:40080/wordpress
$home_url = http://localhost:40080/wordpress

Yes, twice the port in matched_url.
This seems odd to me, can anyone say if it is correct this way, or if it is a bug?

I found a temporary solution for this problem.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-disable-activation-reloaded/

This plugin provides “disable activation e-mail”. User registers the form and directly go to main page. Activation code is not necessary.

But I hope, someone find real solution. I looked all forum the same problems, but there isn’t any solve.

This one solved my problem:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-members-only/

okey thanks in fact i will use the wonderfull plugin : BWP Minify 😉

@hnla I agree, especially since a lot of BuddyPress sites (including my own) prohibit a user from seeing the backend at all. We need an option in the actual frontend for the admin of a group to be able to unban, perhaps with a list of banned members. Right now my users have to contact a member of our staff to get someone unbanned from their group, which they shouldn’t have to do.

I’ve raised a ticket for this issue:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6013

Thank you for your reply. Maybe I didn’t explain myself well or maybe I am using the wrong approach.

What happens is as follows:

I have a set of categories listed on a page. These categories are for content purposes. Click on a category and get the list of post under that category. Just a regular WordPress thing.

However, I need to do the same thing for type of users.

For example:

Under arts, I list categories as Arts, Photography, News etc. (These are for content)

But the I need to list Artists, Photographers, Galleries (These are for users)

Thanks,
Joe

I did! With no success…He doesn’t reply. I know that it must work with this combination of plugin + theme + wordpress because I tried it in an empty one. But I just cannot lose all the work done in this website.
Do you know of any ‘cleaner’ or restore to defaults for certain things? Thanks!

“Buddypress Upload Avatar Ajax” upload the pics in a folder during the registration as I checked right now. But then they don’t appear in the profile. Plus, the tab associated to user profile area “change…” does not appear. What could it be? I tried with a new wordpress and theme and it works, so it must something related to my specific combination. I deactivated all the plugins besides buddypress and this one, but still, it does not work. I am afraid using super caché before or any security plugin broke my wordpress…Any idea?

Just a little more info…

I’ve tried this with all plugins deactivated except buddypress and akismet, and also with the twenty thirteen theme. Still no blog comments are showing up in the Activity Stream at all in either scenario. I would think that should eliminate plugin or custom theme conflicts as issues.

I have WordPress multisite installed elsewhere on my domain, but this is installed in a fresh, single WordPress installation (4.0) in a different directory.

I’ve seen a bunch of old threads in this forum that talk about search engine blocking being a factor, but I’m not sure which settings are relevant to that in the recent version of WP.

I am desperate for some insight!

Cheers,
Jason
