Hi @doublef

Take a look at ticket #6527, specifically comment #4. Does this help explain what’s happening?

In WordPress there’s user_login, user_nicename and display_name.

In general, display_name is used on the front end to display the user’s name. This might be the same as user_login but more often it’s the user’s first name and last name.

user_login is the string used to authenticate the user when logging in. user_nicename is usually the same as us…[Read more]

You’ll want to sanitise your descriptions before using them in the URL. sanitize_title_with_dashes() will be helpful. You’ll also need to make sure they’re unique (user’s can’t have the same URL).

Hi @functionmunchkin

I’m not aware of a plugin that can do this. You might need to use a custom solution.

@fifthhouse it’s certainly possible using BuddyPress. We actually have a Jobs Board here if you wanted to post your requirements?

@fifthhouse when I suggested data be added against the event’s meta I didn’t mean the host or facilitator do it manually. WordPress and BuddyPress have a pretty extensive action system which you can hook to. The code will run automatically when the action happens.

Cool site!

**There are a lot of plugins I’d also like to try out and use… but the problem is im on php 5.3.5 (which i know i need to upgrade)

You should try to upgrade as soon as possible to PHP 7+, the performance improvement alone is worth the effort.

I’ve tried pasting … at the top of my current code and it is still the same showing an fatal error message and allowing me to view the admins profile.

You will need to have a basic understanding of the code to get this done. The code you copied and pasted just limits the activity stream to 5 entries per page. It doesn’t filter admin entries o…[Read more]

I recommend using the bp_after_has_activities_parse_args filter to modify the activity stream (remove admin items). Check out this helpful article:

Can Buddypress accomplish this? If so, would it be a complicated and labour intensive process to implement?

WordPress and BuddyPress should be able to handle this. The 2 levels of members you speak of could be either BuddyPress member types, or WordPress roles.

However, there is one tricky part. People need to be able to search for each event…
