Hi Brajesh, now that we are at the different BP core settings, can you explain exactly what BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing does, in the Dashboard Options settings, and whether I should I mark it on or not? I haven’t been able to find a clear answer to this so far.

Hello Ravi, that’s fine, blocks is the only way I can add widgets now, the old widget layout has gone.

Hi Ravi, thanks for looking into this and for solving this issue for me.

I wasn’t aware of the required thumbnail avatar, so now it is working perfectly!

The only issues which remains, is that the BP widget avatars are not following members loop, or the gender based member filter below?

How do I make the code work on BP widgets as well?

Regards
Carsten

Hi Brajesh, Thanks for helping out. I have not been able to address the issue yet, but I can see now that it is not related to MTP, as the issue persist, when using the code below I used before I started using MTP.

I have deactivated my child theme to rule out any issues there, and I have gone through my plugins, but I can’t see that any of these could affect this.

If you are willing to take a closer look on my site, please let me know, and I will send you the credentials.

Hi Brajesh, I do not have any custom code or plugin involving member types.

Thanks for checking this out, I appreciate it
