BuddyPress.org

Since you’re using BuddyBoss theme (I think) I’d probably ask them first, because the template that loads the message loop is provided by the theme.

That’s a weird problem, though!

The best advice I can offer is to make the registration page as simple as can be, and then ask for more info later, once the user is registered. If the registration page is hard, the user has to _really_ want to join to go through with it.

You might also approach this with member types: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/member-types/

#2 can also happen if the user’s email client has stripped out some of the needed query arg parameters. Outlook has been known to strip the query arg ?key= for instance.

I generally stick to using capabilities. So I’d find a capability that all of the roles you want to be able to create groups have. Then the code looks like:

add_filter( 'bp_user_can_create_groups', function( $can_create ) {
$can_create = false;
if ( current_user_can( 'known_capability' ) ) {
$can_create = true;
}
return $can_create;
}…[Read more]

@shakarum it would help us to help you if we knew more about your installation

You could try something like this

add_filter( 'bp_user_can_create_groups', 'create_groups_hide_for_roles' );
function create_groups_hide_for_roles($can)
{
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$banned_roles = array(
'subscriber',
'editor' // fill in the roles who can't make groups
);
if (array_intersect($banned_roles, $user->roles))
{

Digging into it a bit more, it seems gravatars influences it. You can disable the gravatars like so

add_filter( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true' );

followed by using your original code

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT', 'http://example.com/default-avatar.jpg' );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT_THUMB',…[Read more]

You could probably do something like the following to achieve it as well

function hanza3_add_default_avatar( $url ){
return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/images/imagename.jpg';
}
add_filter( 'bp_core_mysteryman_src', 'hanza3_add_default_avatar' );

Thanks for your advice.

I viewed the console, and found this:

But where do I go from here?
