    Hi Brajesh, I think this is key for the user experience with BuddyPrrss, which is why I’m seeking a solution for this issue, and I am hoping that BuddyPress will address this, maybe by changing the structure of BP in future.

    Which improvements can we expect in BP ver. 10?

    Regards
    Carsten

    Hi Brajesh, thanks again for the explanation.

    Before the directory did not reload from the top every time a profile has been visited, but it does now.

    I don’t know what happened since, but of course this is not very appropriate from a user point of view, to start all over again and to scroll down where you came from.

    Is this behavior intentional, og is there something wrong in my set up?

    Regards
    Carsten

    Hi Brajesh, I just came across this old topic of mine which is still relevant for me. I can see that the plugin BP Login Redirect has not been updated for ten years, any chance you will have a look at it?

    Regards

    Hi Brajesh, thanks for the information. As I mentioned, members directory, is loaded every time you reinter the directory after a profile is visited and you are directed back to the top of the directory.
    This of course leads to intensive computation and queries to the server, and users have to scroll down again through dusins of members, to where they were.

    If you instead use Dynamic User Directory by Sarah Giles, the directory does not act this way.

    Here the directory is not reloaded, and you are directed back to where you were, after a profile visit.
    Unfortunately the plugin is not integrated with BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types and the search toole is limited and does not work with BP Profile Search.

    This plugin obviously works in another way than BP members directory, where you don’t have to call the database every time you enter the directory.

    I wonder why BP members directory is constructed to work this way, apparently this is not object cached, even though the directory should be the most important thing to cache, to reduce server load?

    Regards
    Carsten

    Hi there, the issue has somehow disappeared after setting the Visibility Condition for one of the profile fields.

    Hi again, the plugin has an Easy Forget Password feature according to the feature list.

    Does this open in a customizable modal box as well, or just link to WP standard lost password page?

    Regards

    Hi Brajesh, thanks, I agree.
    For your information I found the root of the issue which turned up to be rather banal; my mistake, I was not aware of the “Signup Fields” profile field group where all the unwanted profile fields can be deleted.
    This apparently overrules the “Use this field in the site registration form” option for each profile field.

    Regards

    Hi Brajesh, thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately none of them worked on my site.

    Instead I think I will use this code snippet to hide fields on register page:

    Hi Brajesh, thanks for the link and the snippet.

    You wrote that the Nouveau does not keep it in the templates. Does this mean that my altered text is a reminiscence from Classic when I used that, so I can find the text in a Classic template?

    Regards
