The email-change verification is meant as a security measure. If your BP credentials are stolen or lost, the only way you can get them back is with a Lost Password reset; the verification step means that an attacker can’t lock you out by changing your password and your password reset email.

On sites that I manage, users do occasionally lose…[Read more]

You could try using a different plugin for switching the login page. https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/login+page/ The one I’ve seen in use before is Theme My Login. Maybe it will work better with your setup.

Hi @thelovebridges –

BP doesn’t have any built-in tools for modifying the appearance of the page from the Dashboard.

This leaves you with two options:
1. Use custom CSS. You can probably accomplish much of what you want this way.
2. Override BP’s templates in your child theme. Only do this if you need to change markup.

If you can give more of…[Read more]

This would take some custom coding. I don’t have any examples of how it could work for BP activity items. But I wrote something similar for bbPress replies a couple years ago, which might serve as an inspiration: https://github.com/boonebgorges/bbpress-reply-titles

That string is not present in BuddyPress itself. It must be coming from the plugin described here: https://buddydev.com/buddypress/force-buddypress-users-to-upload-profile-photo/

Be sure to check for wp-content/plugins/bp-force-profile-photo in your filesystem, and the Plugins screen on both the Dashboard and the Network Admin (assuming you’re…[Read more]

I’ve logged in and reproduced the error.

One of two things is happening here.

1. The item is being posted, but cannot be loaded for some reason. Check Dashboard > Activity to see if the item is listed there; if so, then it falls into this category.

2. The item is not being posted.

When I click ‘Read More’, I’m seeing something like this in the…[Read more]

I’ll close this one.

These tabs are hardcoded into the theme template. So you have two options:

1. Override the theme template in your own theme (copy /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/index.php to /wp-content/themes/[your-theme]/buddypress/activity/index.php, open the copied template, and remove the tabs you don’t want.

that setting did not work for me…

…i still have unwanted forced “please upload your profile photo to start using this site” 🙁

solutions?

–dainis

started happening on my site too…no idea why…no solution yet…

No, it’s not possible for group moderators to do this. But site administrators can do it at Dashboard > Groups > Edit.

Hm. I have never seen a problem like this before. It sounds like the problem is not really with BuddyPress per se, but instead some sort of database corruption.

Are you able to run mysqlcheck? http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/12/mysqlcheck/ A total guess, but it could be that this will clear up some of the problems.

> text search not using ajax

This is what it should do. The original problem in this thread was that group members search didn’t work at all, because it wasn’t sending the contents of the search box. With AJAX disabled, at least the search should work.

If the users of the site don’t care too much about what it looks like, then I would suggest switching to a theme like Twenty Sixteen. This will move you over to a “template pack” that is more modern and well-supported by the BuddyPress team.

Otherwise, there’s no danger in sticking with the existing theme, as long as it’s working for you. It’s…[Read more]
