BuddyPress.org

Yes, there should be a way, but I was not able to follow the instructions / to realise that way.

The basic idea is:

• Create two (or more) new WordPress user roles, e.g.: Users-UK and Users-USA.
• Then you can assign one xProfile-field, ‘In which [federal] state do you live?’, exclusively to your users with the user role Users-USA; and another x-Profile, ‘In which county do you live?’, to your users with the user role Users-UK.

The instructions for that solution you find there:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-different-profile-types-and-different-user-roles/

(The user roles there are ‘bands’ and ‘fans’).

And my report about my attempt to apply that instructions you find there:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/different-profile-types-and-different-user-roles-part-ii/

My user roles are (sport) ‘teams’ and ‘fans’.

—

But unfortunately, I was not able to hinder, that ‘fans’ get displayed the questions (xProfile-fields) for ‘teams’ was well; and the ‘teams’ the questions for ‘fans’…

Further problem:

Even if there is a solution regarding later profile edits – even complicate seems to be, to make already the registration page “input senstive”, because during registration the new user isn’t yet registered (i.e.: has no user role yet).

Cfr. there:

@mugwumpman,

you already reported around this in the past, but apparently you didn’t follow the answers. 😉

Open a new ticket if you cinsider there is something incorrect with cropping.

Glad you got it. Of course you can ! 😉

In matter of profile photo, i suggest you to use:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-avatar-suggestions/
and anyway, your user have always the choice to upload their own picture.

If you mean “comments” as in “comments on a blog post”, that’s obviously part of WordPress. That will definitely scale fine.

If you meant “comments or replies on activity stream items, or status updates”, that’s BuddyPress. This should scale just fine, too.

This assumes your server(s) configuration is optimal, and that you haven’t got any slow code running in other plugins/custom code, or in your theme. I/we can’t really help you with that here — running a performant server(s) for WordPress is outside the scope of providing BuddyPress supports.

The only piece of hosting advice that I’d recommend for any WordPress-powered site, but especially larger sites, is to make sure you’re using an object cache, such as memcached.

It’s a matter of finding the exact syntax.
This works in the function I provided.

        case 'Friends <span class="%s">%s</span>':
            return 'Connections <span class="%s">%s</span>';

A gettext filter is a reasonable approach if there are one or two labels that need to be changed.
But there are so many different places where ‘Friend’ or some variation is used that in your case you should definitely use a .mo file.

Often there is confusion re the Sources Keywords section of PoEdit, so after you read the above, take a look at http://www.cssigniter.com/ignite/wordpress-poedit-translation-secrets/
especially the section titled ‘Keywords lists, WordPress functions, whaaaaaa?’.

Do you use https://wordpress.org/plugins/doppelme-avatars/ ?

Feel free to ask on bp-fr.net if you prefer help in french.

For now, on your contact page, you can see this message:
This template supports the sidebar’s widgets. Add one or use Full Width layout.

Ça veut dire qu’il faut ajouter des widgets ailleurs que sur la page d’accueil ou utiliser le template Pleine Largeur ! 😉

dashboard > apparence > widgets or see the theme documentation. Can’t help more about this as you use a premium theme (support)

Yeah, implode is faster.

But without meta array, the query probably won’t work anyway…

I ma having the same problem. It started as soon as my new site was live (I just migrated servers at the same time as installing BuddyPress). I installed this honeypot https://wordpress.org/plugins/registration-honeypot/, and it helped a little, but I won’t be able to deal with this once I have real members registering since I can’t always tell who is real or fake.

There’s got to be a better way. Or at least a better admin view of new users so I can screem them with more profile data.

FYI: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5888

@harry4039 if your server can handle the load then I don’t see a problem with having 10,000s users. Take wordpress.org and wordpress.com for example, I’m sure they have 10,000 + users. @djpaul will know more about those builds than me, but I’m sure both sites use WordPress 🙂

Does the error still occur if you switch back to WordPress’ twentytwelve theme (just as a test)?

Hmmmm. BuddyPress does not ever automatically mark a user as a spammer (or not a spammer), so I’m not immediately sure what might be going on. What other plugins do you have on the site, and what theme are you using?

Please also tell us the versions of WordPress and BuddyPress that you are using, like @shanebp asked.

Last question: are you using multisite? If you don’t know what that is, the answer’s no. 🙂

just went to make changes in buddypress.min.css

@barchiola Please do not modify the CSS file in the BP plugin. Any changes you make will be overwritten the next time you upgrade BuddyPress. Recommend that you upgrade to the latest BP version 2.1.1 https://buddypress.org/download/ and create a child theme of your preferred theme. Add the style changes to your child theme’s stylesheet.

bp_before_directory_groups_content is an action hook

Nor is mine
WordPress 4.0 running Cosmic Buddy theme

bbPress Version 2.5.4

Registration, signup, Activate don’t work. Takes me to a blank page http://lifeplusstyle.com/site/register/

Neither does the vast majority of the drop-downs in the upper right corner; also takes me to a blank pages.

I have tried testing in several themes including Twenty-Twelve and Twenty-Fourteen. The same issues are present using these themes too.

~Ecrip

The problem with loading scripts in the footer by default is dependency. Take jQuery for example, if WordPress were to load jQuery in the footer by default and a WordPress theme developer then loaded some jQuery-dependent code in the header or body then that jQuery-dependent code wouldn’t work. It’s these considerations the BuddyPress core developers have to make.

I’m not familiar with japanese, sorry. But it could be possible that .ja uses
1) another plural form (the one in the example is for fr and some other occidental languages)
2) another charset as utf8

Read on WordPress Codex where you find more information arond these settings.

Additionaly you can also get in contact with the japanese WP translation team, for better guidance for this very specifif problem or ask for that on the WPpolyglot blog.
