Members page (ordered ‘Newest Registered ‘) displays Last Active info …why?

    Hi guys,

    just a question about the WP/BP members page.

    On my site, the Members page shows the list sorted by “Last Active” by default. Each item includes info “active 1 minute ago” …”active 2 minutes ago”… etc. All as expected, all good.

    If I change the filter to “Newest Registered” then the results are indeed displayed in that order, however the info next to each item is still the last-active time.

    My question is …why?

    If my users are looking at a Newest Registered list then obviously they expect to see “registered 1 day ago” …”registered 2 days ago” … etc.

    Compare this to the Members widget, which does indeed display the correct info when the “Newest” filter is selected.

    So I’m wondering if this Members page issue can be corrected? It seems pointlessly confusing and unhelpful in its current state.

    I would appreciate any comments or advice.

    Hi Michael,
    Thank you for the question.

    In BuddyPress Template packs, the last active time is hardcoded(using template tag) in the members loop.

    BuddyPress does have a template tag for showing the registered since time.

    
<?php bp_member_registered();?>

    But you will need to edit your members-loop.php(override it in your theme/child theme) and put this code conditionally.

    Regards

    Thanks Brajesh, its a bit beyond my tech ability to do that. I will get someone to do it for me. Thanks again for your advice.
