Hi garciasanchezdani.
Great site dude, I can see you spent a lot of time on this…Great!!
Like Paul said 2.4 megs for a home page, Phew thats huge.
Also 117 requests, also way to many.

Try use http://www.jpegmini.com/main/shrink_photo to compress “all” your jpeg images
And https://tinypng.com/ to compress all your png images

they are both free to use or you can sign up and buy ( sorry I’m not promoting them, I use them for all my sites)
Also add the following to the begining of your htaccess file…before the wordpress code; and it should help with some of your Yslow speeds.

I would try as far as possible to keep my pages down below 600k
and request to less than 50

Hi @robertosalemi

Check out these:

• https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-component-stats/
• https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-member-profile-stats/

Note: I haven’t used them myself, but they look popular.

also – your links point to:

<a href="http://www.JenniferMFitness.com/groups/new-year-new-you/">New Year, New You</a>

Note the capitals in the href.

You might want to try changing them to lower case in wp-admin/options-general.php
in the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) fields.

Then it may be your .htaccess file.
It should look like this:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Hi,
you’ve got a lot of plugins in your site. Please check for example with this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/p3-profiler/ which plugin slow down your side.
Then I would reflect if I need all plugins realy….

Hi @ddt

This isn’t a problem I’ve come across myself. Can you provide some links to where you’ve read about BuddyPress not liking WordPress in its own directory (as opposed to the root dir)?

@milenushka
BuddyPress 2.1.1
Wordpress latest

Perhaps those styles are no longer being used ?

You can download older versions of BP here.

Make a backup of your database.

Then deactivate the BP plugin.
Then upload another version of BP and activate.

Better a child theme and to start, read here first:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

and once you understood how it works, you can read again
https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

and search on the forum for topics related to theme. 😉

Try deactivating all plugins and then check if this issue still continues.

Explanation:
Mostly it happens if some plugin is interfering in registration process because the way BuddyPress registers a user is a bit different then what happens in WordPress by default for which usually plugins are designed.

Hi @navinachettri

1. Have you searched the plugin directory?
2. This can be done via hooks. It will need some custom code (not much, just a few lines).
3. You could hide or show xProfile fields according to role. How exactly roles are created and managed will be dependent on point 1
4. Again, to distinguish business users from ‘normal’ users, you’d use the roles created via the plugin you’re using from point 1. The jobs and adverts could each have their own custom post type
5. This will need to be custom coded

Hope that helps?

Hi julia,

it seems that you’re in a deep reflexion about your site, here 2-3 things.

Wait a little before doing more to get your site a clone of FB. It’s not possible, and comparison will always exist if you try to do that. You’re not FB. As simple as that i guess. 😉

People need a little time to accept new rules. You decided to create a site for them. They have to respect that when they decide to follow you in this new adventure.

members don’t feel like that’s the same. With reason, as it is not the same.

The question will more be, why do they come to your site ? Because it looks like FB or because you have some good content ?

Have you tried this plugin ?

Have you tested with one of the bullet proven 2013 or 2014 themes ?

Some Dynamix related topics can be found here.

– Members import – I used it two other times a year ago for different lists with no problem.
A year ago means datas from BP ~1.7 and the reason why i mentionned the ticket.

my issue isn’t with avatars
I have a doubt 😉 : on your members directory, the default avatar is gravatar who doesn’t appear. Avatars may not be the issue but are related to profiles.

Try to use Mystery Man instead. if he appears as default avatar, there is perhaps a conflict with media upload or permalinks.

The other thing i observe, is that you and the other user who’s profile access is ok, are the only one using a username in the URL. All other members have first and last name.

Do you use a custom function or a plugin to get this ?

About wpengine, is this already the case ?

If nothing above works, see also here and open a ticket with as much details as possible with this topic url.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4948

No idea… hire a dev ? See:

BP Jobs Board

as well as here:

http://jobs.wordpress.net/

Try: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/158043/16575

if in addition to this from time to time I could send messages to all members so they see in their profile message box.
This is already built in. For ex. you can:
User menu (below Howdy) > Messages > Compose and check This is a notice to all users.

If you want to show a welcome message/video, you can do this on the register page, but this would be seen before activation.
To show such a thing once a user logged in for the FIRST time, it is a bit more difficult, meaning you don’t know where a first timer access to your site.

Technically possible, but the scenario in this case is more complex and needs some reflexion to get it to work. And good knowledge of PHP. Do you have it ?

There was a plugin for that in the past, but i don’t know if it is already working. And it is no more maintained. Download from here if you want to test.

Hi @sherry22

You can redirect pages using the wp_redirect() function. For example:

function my_redirect() {
    if ( bp_is_groups() && ! bp_is_group_forum() ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url() . '/whichever-page-you-want/' );
        exit;
    }
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_redirect' );

Ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_redirect

wp_icl_strings is used by WPML, and I think this error might be being caused using https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-multilingual/. You need to contact the author of that plugin on the WordPress.org plugins support forum:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-multilingual/

Good luck 🙂

1) https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/

2) https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/edit-xprofiles-admin-screen/

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/displaying-extended-profile-fields-on-member-profiles/

3) is built in on members directory. Each profile item becames clickable by default, letting users find others having entered the same information.
Example:
User A = City -> New York (NY is clickable)
User B = City -> New York (NY is clickable)
User C = City -> San Francisco (SF is clickable)

When user B click on NY he will see user A as search result
When user C click on SF he will only see himself

4) He use the buddy menu. This menu can be installed by going to dashboard > apparence > menu. If BP menu is not in the left side, under the other menus, open the screen option (top right corner) and check BuddyPress. Now you can set your BP menu like any other WordPress menu.
https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide

When you’re new to something, you must read the documentation first. Also before asking on a help forum, you must search if your question wasn’t already asked and answered.

Happy install ! 😉

@sherry22
Probably the best thing to is ask the plugin author for support on the plugins support forum here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-wall
