BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress is now Robust, beautiful and powerful.

There are Five(5) small things that I am imagining if BuddyPress can give us, going forward:

1.) SORTING PRESET:
I need BuddyPress to enable us through its Settings, to be able to pre-set the Order in which our Members Directory will be sorted.

This means that, I should be able to drag and drop the Sorting Order around, somewhere within BuddyPress Settings– where if I arranged it as:
a.) Alphabetical
b.) Last Active
c.) Newest Registered
d.) First and Last Name**

Then, whenever my Members Directory loads, this is what the Sorting Order will be.

2.) You will notice in my Sorting Order, that there’s an Option called ” First and Last Name “– which BuddyPress doesn’t have.

I am hereby proposing to the BuddyPress Development Team, that they should Please consider and implement this request.

Now, I have tried to achieve it with this plugin — https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-first-last/

Unfortunately, the plugin is not able to do it automatically. I need to actually manually edit it user by user, before I get the Usernames of my users changed from Username to First and Last Name.

On my website made with Ultimate Member plugin, sorting is by First and Last Name as you can see here– https://member.cordialmarketplace.com/

It will be a great relief to many, if BuddyPress will implement this.

3.) BIRTHDAY EMAIL SITUATION
BuddyPress is a Social Network and Community plugin. And many Community Members like to be shown that they are loved and cared for.

So I am requesting that BuddyPress should have a Birthday Greetings Situation— where people will receive a Birthday Greetings Message on the day of their Birthday.

Currently, I am able to achieve this feature by using AutomatorWP( https://wordpress.org/plugins/automatorwp )

But I am praying and hoping that BuddyPress will create this Email Situation into its Email Templates.

4.) FRONTEND LOGIN AND FRONTEND PASSWORD RESET:
BuddyPress is a Community and Social Network plugin. I can’t stop emphasizing this, because of the current necessity that I strongly have and presently have.

You see, there is no shame in people knowing that we built our website with WordPress. There is no shame in that at all– not in this life, and not in any other world to come.

However, as a Community and Social Network website, it means that hundreds of people will be Logging in to Register and create Accounts on the website.

Now, we don’t want these people to ever see the WP-Admin and the WP-Login.Php Pages.

In short, we don’t want these our users to even know that a WP-Admin and WP-Login.Php Page even exist.

It should be possible with BuddyPress that, even if people deliberately type “ mydomain.com/wp-admin ” or they deliberately type “ mydomain.com/wp-login.php ” , it should immediately and instantly redirect them to a Custom Frontend Login Page that we have created– and they should never see the “ wp-admin ” and “ wp-login.php ” Pages.

I believe that BuddyPress should provide this feature– so that most Logins to our Community and Social Network website should be possible to be done through the frontend.

5.) HTML EMAIL HEADER
I am of the opinion that if BuddyPress enables us to use HTML in our Email Header, we will be able to add our website’s Logo into our Email Header, rather than the current plain Text Email Header.
