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.

No idea… hire a dev ? See:

BP Jobs Board

as well as here:

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' );
