    Very odd. I’m working on starting up a WP/BP site soon. If you figure out the issue, I’d like to see a blog post on the fix, in case I run into it in the future.
    Good luck.

      Hi Dan, this is a task we are currently working on. Wordpress and Buddypress seem to slow down the web server. After 2-3 days page responses are delayed without further reason. If anybody has a solution for this, pls help!

    Hello, I’m creating a site in which I’ll have employer accounts and employee accounts. Fundamentally, the accounts are the same. However, employer users have the ability to create/delete additional accounts (for employees). The accounts created by an employer will need to be be hooked to that employer’s accounts, in that the employer has the ability [...]

    I’m really excited about this project. The only vital feature that is missing is the ability to record. I see that it is planned. Any idea when the planned roll out is?

    Thanks, those look very helpful.

    I am still confused on the database portion. Solr searches indexed xml files, correct? It doesn’t directly search a mysql database? How would you fit mysql into the process? Or is there a whole other route that should be taken?

    In reply to - Niklas Günther answered the question “Integrating WP, BP and Apache Solr” Hello Dan, to start with Solr and PHP you may use this helpful article: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-php-apachesolr/ We use Solr on bettercodes with this client: http://code.google.com/p/solr-php-client/ This is also very useful. If you need further help feel free to ask. · View

    I see. So buddypress will automatically use your username as your mention tag? And users from oAuth come through with funky usernames?

    I can see how this could be a pain when it comes to trying to mention a user. Perhaps a good feature would be to add a quick ’copy’ of a person’s mention wherever a user posts. It could be up by their display name, along side ’view’, or down by the comment, like, and favorite buttons.

    In reply to - fredrik-607688820 answered the question “ Numbers in username ” Im not sure that there is a way to change this, you could easily change the @name with a simple db-edit, but the problem is that the username occurs throughout in budddyypress in member profile, activity-posts, comments (i think), blogposts, and so on… if you change the username or [...] · View

    @gottowik

    Thank you. I didn’t quite understand that you could apply multiple functions to an action. I was under the impression that do_action was actually calling a single function. That does give me a little bit more understanding. (btw, I am fairly new to WP as well, so I’m trying to learn two things at once WP and BP).

    ROOT OF THE MATTER:
    I came upon this question when I was looking in your source trying to figure out how your registration worked. I still haven’t found it. I can see that the register form submits to itself, but I can’t find what it actually does with the data. I can see a ton of do_actions, but I can’t spend time tracking down everyone of them.
    Is there an easy way to see all the functions that are attached to an action?

    Are there custom registration function you have written. What file would they be in?

    Thanks again! Great work thus far!

    In reply to - Bjoern Gottowik answered the question “ How to create a register page for users on the site’s front-end? ” Wordpress has an own approach for extensibility: actions and filters. If you have found an action just like ”do_action(’x_action_x’) you can write your own function and let WP add it to the queue by calling add_action(’x_action_x’, ’name_of_my_function’); OUTSIDE of [...] · View

    @nico

    I am really interested in Wordpress Security. I was wondering if you have any good resources to point me to or if you wouldn’t mind posting some tips on the security discussion board?

    Thanks!
