damn it – badly formated the code – try this:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: XProfile to username
Plugin URI: http://
Description: Created for a specific project, this plugin copies a field from the user's Xprofile to their username, ensuring first that it is unique by adding a  digit to te end

*/

function xprofile_to_username($xp) {
	global $wpdb;

	$field_id = BP_XProfile_Field::get_id_from_name('Name/Company Name');
	if(!$field_id || $xp==null) {
		return;
	}
	if($field_id == $xp->field_id) { // cover me, I'm going in
		$new_username=strtolower(preg_replace('/[^\w\d]/','-', $xp->value));
		$existing_user_by_that_username=get_user_by('login', $new_username);
		if($existing_user_by_that_username && ($existing_user_by_that_username->ID !== $xp->user_id )) { // another user already has that login
			$i=1;
			while(get_user_by('login', $new_username."-$i")) {
				$i+=1;
			}
			$new_username.="-$i";
		}
		$wpdb->update($wpdb->users, array('user_login' => $new_username), array('ID' => $xp->user_id));
		return;
	}	
}
add_action('xprofile_data_after_save','xprofile_to_username');

?>

Well I have a plugin – except that I can’t be arsed to release it as a plugin at the moment so I’ll just cut&paste the code here.

2 things:
1. it doesn’t replace the wp-email-login plugin or the login for hack above – it adds to them by simply forcing the username to be the same a field pulled from the Xprofile.
2. It’s hardwired to a specific field name in @applegateian’s project. You’ll need to edit the code to use your own field name because, like I say, I haven’t got time to turn it into a proper plugin. When I find the enthusiasm to do it properly I’ll create a plugin settings menu and stuff.

<?php

function xprofile_to_username($xp) {

global $wpdb;

$field_id = BP_XProfile_Field::get_id_from_name(‘Name/Company Name’);

	if(!$field_id || $xp==null) {

return;

	}

if($field_id == $xp->field_id) { // cover me, I’m going in

		$new_username=strtolower(preg_replace('/[^\w\d]/','-', $xp->value));

$existing_user_by_that_username=get_user_by(‘login’, $new_username);

		if($existing_user_by_that_username && ($existing_user_by_that_username->ID !== $xp->user_id )) { // another user already has that login

$i=1;

			while(get_user_by('login', $new_username."-$i")) {

$i+=1;

			}

$new_username.=”-$i”;

		}

$wpdb->update($wpdb->users, array(‘user_login’ => $new_username), array(‘ID’ => $xp->user_id));

		return;

}

}

add_action(‘xprofile_data_after_save’,’xprofile_to_username’);

?>

Just put this is a file called xprofile-to-username.php in a folder called xprofile-to-username, activate it and Bob’s your uncle. Every time the user’s profile gets updated, their username will mirror the xprofile field (with hyphen instead of funny characters and numbers to remove any duplicates).

Enjoy.

hi @jaxdestroyer,

play with these example snippets (goes into theme’s functions.php) and see what you can do with it.

Good luck!

/* remove the comment menu */

function bpfr_admin_bar_render() {
	global $wp_admin_bar;
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('comments'); // change to your need
	}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'bpfr_admin_bar_render' ); */

/* add links/menus to the admin bar */

function bpfr_admin_bar_render() {
	global $wp_admin_bar;
	$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
	'parent' => 'new-content', // use 'false' for a root menu, or pass the ID of the parent menu
	'id' => 'new_media', // link ID, defaults to a sanitized title value
	'title' => __('Media'), // link title
	'href' => admin_url( 'media-new.php') // name of file
	'meta' => false // array of any of the following options: array( 'html' => '', 'class' => '', 'onclick' => '', target => '', title => '' );
	));
	}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'bpfr_admin_bar_render' ); 

/* another example */
function bpfr_custom_myaccount_nav( $wp_admin_bar ) {
global $bp;

	// remove the Settings item and the attached sub menu
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-settings');
	
    // add My notifications settings as separate item
   $args = array(
		'id' => 'my-account-settings-notifications',
		'title' => 'Notifications Settings',
	//	'parent' => 'my-account',
		'parent' => 'my-account-messages',
	//	'meta' => array('class' => 'menupop')	
		'meta' => array('class' => 'ab_sub_wrapper')		
		); 
    $wp_admin_bar->add_node($args); 	

}
add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'bpfr_custom_myaccount_nav',100 );

Some other examples here

@tse11 Check out https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/

I’ve noticed under permalinks wordpress is complaining about access to the .htaccess file

@rigormortis_uk Did you change to a new theme or add any new plugins recently? Revert to old theme or Twenty Twelve theme and deactivate all other plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress then run Settings > Permalinks again.

@synaptic There is a great tutorial on this here:

http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/

@kvschwartz
I had a similar requriement and adding the above specified code in bp-custom.php caused login &log out problem with admin user. As an alternative step,I added the same code in wordpress/wp-config.php – in the bottom of the page, just below the following line:-
/*that’s all,stop editing!Happy blogging.*/
Hope this helps.

We saw your bug report and left an initial response on the ticket at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5208.

We need a bit more information to work on this issue. Thanks!

https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress/tags/1.8/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css

Only use the css from below 6.0 BuddyPress. Before using it place #buddypress before each style declaration. This ensures it will only effect BuddyPress specific HTML. You may still need to edit or remove styles because this is based on BP-default and not the new template files.

#activity-stream {
margin-top: -5px;
}

becomes

#buddypress #activity-stream {
margin-top: -5px;
}
