For an e-commerce website, I recommend using Elementor over Gutenberg because it offers a more flexible and user-friendly design experience. Elementor provides a drag-and-drop interface, allowing you to customize your pages easily without any coding. It also has a wide range of pre-designed templates and advanced features like custom headers, footers, and integrations with popular e-commerce plugins like WooCommerce. While Gutenberg is a solid choice for simpler sites and is built into WordPress, Elementor will give you much more control over the design and functionality, which is crucial for creating a professional-looking and high-performing e-commerce site.

Both have their strengths! If you want full design flexibility and a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, Elementor is great. If you prefer speed, simplicity, and better performance, Gutenberg is a solid choice—plus it’s built into WordPress. It really depends on your design needs and how lightweight you want your site to be.

Both have their strengths! Elementor offers more design flexibility with a drag-and-drop interface, making it great for complex layouts. Gutenberg, on the other hand, is lightweight and integrates natively with WordPress, which helps with performance. Are you prioritizing ease of use or site speed?

You could check if this plugin still works. It segregates BuddyPress social networks in a multi network WordPress install so that each WP network has a different social network. One for each Network.

You could also check if this plugin still works. It allows each site on an individual network have its own separate buddypress social network.

It would appear that you may even, at present*, be able to run separate (though members shared) buddypress social networks on every site in a WP Multi Network setup.

AFAIK they both still work in with WP 6.7.2, BP 14.3.3 PHP 8.3.11 MYSQL8.0.35 but you should check yourself if they still do. (i am not a developer or coder)

*The Buddypress Development Team has stated that consideration has been given by the Team to perhaps in the long term to deprecate the multiblog feature sometime in the future. This (AFAIK) would not effect the first scenario but would effect the second

Hi,

Some of the answers may have to come from the Theme developer, i.e. Re-Hub theme, for example:

1) How can I configure the user profile page? There are elements I find unnecessary for my website, and I’d like to remove them: the sharing buttons, the “write a note” option, etc.

The “sharing buttons” and “write a note” options are not standard for BuddyPress and are either introduced by your theme in use or possibly from a plugin you have actuated.

Additionally, without getting into a lot of detail, depending on the template pack in use, e.g., Legacy or Nouveau, there are an assortment of template pages that can be overloaded/overridden (requres advanced knownledge).

2) Users registered on my site can publish articles using a frontend plugin, comment, etc.
However, nothing appears in the “Activity” section: even if someone has published an article, nothing shows up. Similarly, nothing appears if they leave comments, someone replies to their comment, or tags them.
Also, what does the “Favorites” button correspond to? With the theme I’m using, users can save articles as favorites, which are then displayed on a dedicated page. Is that what it’s supposed to refer to?

As to “articles“, I’ll assume these are synonymous with “blog posts“, typically these are synced to “Activities” via BuddyPress settings (wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress) by enabling the “Site Tracking” component within the “Components” tab and enabling the “Post Comments” option under “Activity Streams” within the “Options” tab. See Post comments

As to “Favorites”, think of these as “bookmarks”, IOW, Activity items may be marked as “favorites” or unmarked as “Favorites” which will be listed within the “Favorites” tab, if marked accordingly and, yes, Favorites behave as you have indicated.

3) On the profile page, users can change their username and select a username that’s already in use (which isn’t allowed during registration). How can I fix this?

Usernames are unique and cannot be changed. In a “users” profile, the username is preceded/prefixed with the @ symbol. What may be confusing is the “Name” field which is more akin to the display name, to be more precise, it appears to be the “Display name publicly as”, which can be the same as the username or can be different from the username. What’s confusing is that there specific BuddyPress profile fields that correspond WordPress profile fields that may or may not have the same nomenclature. See Your Profile Screen – names section.

It seems like you are trying to fix something like, there can only be one user with a display name of "Alice". Rightly or wrongly, I suppose confusion abounds when a “display name” is conflated as being a “username”.

Perhaps, someone else will have a better or more precise explanation than I have provided.

It actually appears to be a component in buddypress now apparently, so in the wordpress admin dashboard click on your installed plugins. Then under buddypress, click settings and then check friend connections and then save settings.

Also if you would like to connect with me on social media as you said before, I am trying to grow my LinkedIn profile as I’m currently looking for a job. So unless the link gets removed, it is below:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexander-bell-487a69295/

I see it is still bundled: https://github.com/wp-cli/entity-command/blob/main/src/WP_CLI/CommandWithDBObject.php

I also think if that were true, our unit tests would fail. It is more likely you do not have wp-cli installed in your project.

Could you confirm going over these docs?
