hi where to put this in function.php file

–remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_core_screen_signup’, 3 ); —

thanks

There is this but i have yet to employ it i believe needs updating for 1.7 compatibility:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/

with regards to our site in particular new members can only contribute once they are granted that status currently. I’m working on turning it into a network at which point anyone will be able to create their own site and contribute that way. if you’d like to write an article or something i can certainly give you contributor status @attention just let me know your username.

thanks!

@attention,

check your avatar settings on WP first. By default it should be Mystery Man ( i would recommend to let this setting as is). If you activate Gravatar, your site will bind with Gravatar first. User that have no Gravatar account will then have a Mystery Man avatar instead.

This is pureWP admin stuff.

BP handles avatars on a member basis in a slightly different manner. Each user can change/upload his avatar from within his profile.

You’re using Salutation, a third party theme which is IMO complicated to use with BP, because it is a bit away from the WP theme standards.

You also use an old avatar plugin, which wasn’t updated since sept. 2011. So if you use WP 3.5.1 and BP 1.6.5 or 1.7, i doubt that this plugin will work correctly. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-local-avatars/

Let me suggest you this one: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-avatar-suggestions/

It’s not Mystery Man, it’s not Gravatar, but it handles your own avatar pictures or let your user free to choose there personnal one. And the plugin is working with Salutation and with BP 1.7 too.

This plugin is not been updated in almost 2 years so if you use it and it doesn’t work log into your server, go to wp-content/plugins/ and change the bp-moderation plugin folder to something else to deactivate it if it gives you issues. For example rename bp-moderation to Xbp-moderation just in case. Here is the link to the plugin. Use at your own risk. I have already given you instructions to recover if it fails.

wordpress buddypress and bbpress are all the same user accounts for any given site.

Hi Guys,

I have the same issue on my site http://fitnessblogger.net

I am running BuddyPress 1.7 on a Multisite install WordPress 3.5.1 (Theme Novelti)

I have had a quick look at the link provided by @hnla however i am a bit confused!!!

I am a real BuddyPress Novice so can someone explain how I go about fixing this please 🙂

I thank you in advance..

Kind Regards

James

I really apologize for being persistent with the same old issue, but I still don’t have it resolved yet.

The issue is that the links are outside of the share button.
example: http://vanitywigs.com/vertical.jpg
The test site is: http://vanitywigs.com/wordpress/activity/

I can’t get these links to lineup Horizontally. If I can get it to lineup Horizontally, I would get rid of the actual share button and just used it like that since the links work perfectly.

Any help from the guru’s would be appreciated greatly.

Did you try the example here
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb#Examples_5

Try pasting your query between the double quotes.
Make sure you have `global $wpdb; ` in your function.

Generally, use whatever size images you want. Any slowdown is unlikely to be caused by images.

For more advice or help investigating why you feel your site’s performance is slow, pop over to the WordPress.org forums as this isn’t a BuddyPress-specific question. Thanks!

@gabequer this is what you need:

i had no spam issues at all.

BP 1.7 is not broken – Your install of BP 1.7 has problems.

The first steps to take to diagnose your problems are:

1. Deactivate every plugin except WordPress and BuddyPress

2. Switch to the WordPress 2012 theme

3. Go to Settings -> BuddyPress and review all your settings

Your problems are probably due to conflicts between BP and your theme or other plugins.

Try a simple echo in your display function.

If you think it is a 1.7 bug, submit a report on trac:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Use the same login you use here.

p to now unable to get connected

i have 405 errors with standar users (which semms to be a wrong configuation of acces from the xml wordpress plugin)

and with admin account i have a 500 error from server.

what acces level shall be configured to allow a standard buddypress user to be connected ?

@scottwermter
It is a plugin. Get it here!
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-admin-bar-improved/

gs is a shared environment as such it is not recommended for anything but private buddypress sites (maybe not even then). unlike other shared environments gs will not throttle you but instead they will bill you for overage the thing to really watch for is the GPU. WP+BP will use something like 100x the GPU of a typical static site when i used them on a BP site with about 2000 visitors a day about 2 years ago we were looking at about 200 in overage in the first month alone.

#1 some media temple term that doesn’t mean much just think of it as total bandwidth cause thats probably what it is.

#2 yes.

#3 1

#4 probably not but i’m sure you can buy extras. email accounts are totally separate from wordpress/buddypress accounts.

@twistyfarmy – To disable notices, on your profile, navigate to “Messages > Notices” and disable them that way.

BP 1.7 introduced universal theme compatibility, but it appears your theme already has BP support, but did not tell BP this.  This is a possible reason why you see the sitewide notice at the top.

Follow the recommendation in this article:
BP Theme Authors: make sure your theme registers 'buddypress' support

you can post here as well http://jobs.wordpress.net

Hi Patty-

Have you tried using `home_url()` instead of `site_url()` like the example on the Codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_logout_url#Logout_and_Redirect_to_Homepage

I use this on my site and it redirects to the home page:
`<a href="” title=”Log out”>`

@giannisff
I am a big fan of cool landing pages. This is just my opinion but I would add a few thumbnail screenshots above the features on your landing page. That will show potential members what they are missing out on if they do not join. I would also get rid of the wordpress logo menu item in your toolbar because its a red flag for hackers.

@missnorthking

It would help if you gave more details and if possible a link to a url demonstrating the problem.

I gather from your other post that you are using http://themeforest.net/item/music-musicians-theme-facebook-app/1541383 ( see demo ).

From what you say, it seems like you are asking about a simple css issue with the theme. It will need something like a float left or right on the avatar images…..

`img.avatar { float: left; }` ( and other properties ) is in the bp-default default.css for bp 1.7… If you made a child theme you could try putting that at the bottom of style.css and see if it helps….

@anharmse

Actually my first suspicion is the dynamix theme.

Viewing the buddypress demo page with firefox, it appears to still be using buddypress v 1.6.5 so would probably need upgrading to v 1.7.

Meanwhile, try a theme that is supposed to work well with bp 1.7, such as twenty twelve….

If that fixes the error then It might be an idea to ask the commercial theme designers if they plan to upgrade it…
