BuddyPress.org

Can this code be adapted to show BOTH the Display Name and the Username together next to comments left on the main blog?

This is so that people can see both the regular Display Name of whoever has left a comment, but also the user name so they can add an @ message addressed in the correct way.

This is related to a query I posted here:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-display-name-and-username-in-comments?replies=1#post-2320564

If you’re using BP 1.5, and the default theme, it has support for assigning page backgrounds to specific component pages now, in the standard WordPress way.

Ok, didn’t notice it earlier but somehow one of the links brought me to your other site and all links were working http://jaws.my/demo/kashnkrissy2/members/admin/

It’s not BuddyPress that’s directly causing the redirect but rather most likely something in your .htaccess file wherein you’re trying to map the ladykashandkrissy.com domain onto jaws.my/demo/kashnkrissy2.

You could try the domain mapping plugin if you’re on multisite or better yet, uninstall BuddyPress and find resolution for your domain mapping first at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting before installing BuddyPress.

Does this help at all https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-privacy/

@mercime, this doesn’t appear to be resolved. I’ve clicked on just about every link and the site activity still shows on every page.

Congratulations, you’ve resolved this on your own

Anyone using the lite version of WPMU’s Chat plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/chat/ ? Pros and cons please.

I’ve been playing with BBPress 2.0 for a while. The quickest and easiest way to get it working is to copy the shortcode you require (or all of them and then edit the ones you don’t need) from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

Paste the shortcodes you require into a new page you create within wordpress – or an existing page.

The forums list will show up along with topics list and so on if you use the correct shortcode.

I use a plugin to make it easy to find Post ID for each individual forum.

or try: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ It also has an email tester built in to instantly check settings….

Hi @mpvshameem I was having this problem and it was solved by installing the plugin called Mail From by Andrew Hamilton. For some reason the confirmation emails weren’t getting sent (I have bluehost, and it seems to be a common issue with them).
This plugin helped the emails get through, but it actually didn’t actually do anything else that it was supposed to do. I wanted to change the mail from address that people see in the confirmation email but I ended up having to call bluehost and they fixed it for me. The bluehost rep told me that WP often has generic or inaccurate headers so some things don’t work as they should. I pretended like I understood what that meant and was happy my problem was solved.

@tommyhoang Again, this is a bug in WordPress core. Not BuddyPress. It’s not been fixed into WordPress yet; look at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16744

@tommyhoang– you don’t need step 2. You just need to place the code from step 3 into your header.php file where you want the widgets to show up. This article might help as well: http://digwp.com/2010/02/how-to-widgetize-wordpress-theme/

@sbruner, is that article up to date for the current version of wordpress and buddypress? I created a child theme and made a blank functions.php file and added the codes from step 1 and step 2. now Im a little confused with step 3, where am i suppose to put those codes and am I suppose to rename my functions.php file to page.php?

Using @import in combination with linked CSS causes CSS load order issues, as the HTTP requests are not completed in sequence.

I would suggest researching and using the WordPress API wp_enqueue_style() to better avoid the fouc.

I’m going to assume you mean under WordPress not BuddyPress specifically and using Multisite? Is that right? If not what do you mean by theme?

I’ve got default working now. The WP plugin “Nivo Sider for WordPress” breaks pretty much all interaction just by being activated. I’m guessing it’s 1 or more conflicting .js files. I have the same plugin working fine with BP 1.2.9 but the plugin has a number of issues, definitely don’t mind using a different, more friendly slider plugin.

There isn’t a custom profile plugin at the moment. There exists a group css plugin that could be used as an example in creating your own plugin. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-css

Another option is adding profile fields and then mapping that info to CSS. See this forum topic: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/css-for-member-page
