BuddyPress.org

Well.. I haven’t updated Welcome Pack since 2011-12-4, and that was when WordPress about version 3.3.1 :). Parts of the plugin might still work, but I doubt everything is going to work perfectly.

@destac
Sarcasm will not get you far on this forum so how do you figure you can fire anyone being that this forum is volunteer based? If you would like to hire a pro then post it on the jobs board here: https://buddypress.org/support/forum/plugin-forums/bp-jobs-board/
or here: http://jobs.wordpress.net/https://buddypress.org/support/reply/228048/edit/ Then you can be more demanding because you are paying someone to fix your issues.
If you expect volunteer help from here then I suggest that you refrain from using sarcastic remarks on the forums otherwise you may push people away from helping you because nobody likes a smart a** and if you are so smart then you can fix your own problems! Happy Halloween!

Here’s a list of all of the changes made in BP 2.1.1 (from version 2.1):

From a regular users point of view, I find it unlikely they’ll even bother to acknowledge new email notifications,

Agreed but I think it depends somewhat on the community. I can see email alerts being highly useful in some communities and not so useful elsewhere.

BuddyPress is first and foremost a platform. It puts foundations in place for people to build on (hence why we have plugins and themes). The Live Notifications plugin is a good example. It makes use of the bp_notifications database table put in place by BuddyPress. If a webmaster wants to have ‘live’ notification functionality, then they can use that particular plugin. Keep in mind some webmasters may have no need for live notifications and may not want them on their site. Each (WordPress) AJAX request makes a call to admin-ajax.php – which results in a very slight delay in page load speed due to the extra processing required. This delay might not be very noticeable on sites with low activity or extremely powerful servers, but could be very noticeable on a site using a clunky hosting infrastructure or on a site with tons of activity. Imagine packing feature after feature into core by default – it would bloat the plugin unnecessarily.

Hi @style960

Email notifications are fired off instantly (unless queued by your mail server). Web notifications (as you’ve noticed) need a page refresh by default. Ajax would need to be put into place in order for them to become ‘live’. You can request this feature over at Trac but there’s no guarantee the functionality will make it into core.

Hope that helps!

I’m facing the same problem. Just installed WP on Virtualbox with Vagrant (VVV WordPress), created WPMU and then added the BuddyPress Multi Network plugin. All plain and clean, latest versions, no other whistles and bells.
Admin is marked as spammer, but status is green (active, not red(spammer)).

BuddyPress Like might not be what you want but I thought I’d point it out. You can customise the ‘like’ text via the WordPress admin area.

We don’t have our own option for that. Use WordPress’ “allow registration” option which I think is in wp-admin > Settings > Reading.

Regarding the bar, no. Again, it’s WordPress’ bar, and there are probably helper plugins which will turn it off for you (or code snippets); you should be able to find something on Google pretty easily.

Great, glad that fixed it! You can see the list of WP actions here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference.

To limit this redirect just to the home page update it to something like this:

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_visitors' );
function redirect_visitors() {
    if ( !is_user_logged_in() && is_front_page() ) {
	wp_redirect( site_url() . '/my-site-registration' );
        exit;
   }
}
