@brayte email is mandatory for WordPress.

> The description field is a standard wordpress profile text field

That’s not the same as a BP profile field. They are two separate beasts.
You need to find the code, perhaps in your theme, that is adding that field on profiles.

> How could I place a BuddyPress profile field on the profile start page
You need to edit the home template for profiles.
And it sounds like that is already being done by some code on your site.
Find it and you should know how to change it to show a BP profile field for bio.

Sounds like a memory issue (server hosting problem). What errors do you get?

You can see the errors by enabling WordPress debug. Locate your wp-config.php in your wordpress installation files and set WP_DEBUG to true, i.e.: define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );

I haven’t tried it personally, but https://wordpress.org/plugins/likebtn-like-button/ seems to add a like / dislike button to activity comments and posts.

You’d probably have better luck and less headaches just making searchable hashtags. You can dig through https://wordpress.org/plugins/hashbuddy/ and take the few lines of code it requires.

I’ve been looking for a solution and found a lot of dead ends….

Possible hook. Though Not sure if it works.

There is this unanswered post

Related request: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-verified-feature-suggestion/

Has this feature been resolved? I’m also interested in a “verified account” badge or indicator for users.

If this is/can be not built into BP, is it compatible with this WP plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-verified-member/ or something similar else that is recommended?

Thanks!

I get the errors while enabling/disabling the components, I’m using the Buddypress newest version: 6.1.0

Hi aeldri,

r-a-y showed me how to do it in this thread

I added a few lines that insert images in the header and footer of the template – line 189-192 and 215-221 and created the folders in my theme and uploaded the template file.

The problem with recipient name might be due to a typo in the e-mail templates. Check if a bracket ({) is missing ?
