Hi Armin Apadana,

Great looking website! We really like what the work you’re putting in this project. ?

1) Do you want to change the fields displayed in the director search form?
2) Maybe this issue is due to a caching problem on your side. We see the same number of members on “Last Active”, “Newest Registered” and “Alphabetical” (10).
3) Do you wish to change or remove the overlay color?

Also, can you please document your questions with (highlighted) screenshots? It will be easier for us to help you.

Thank you for your reply.

Regards

Hi Armin Apadana,

1.1) The directory search form is powered by BP Profile Search (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-search/). It can be edited in your admin panel. Please navigate to “Users > Profile Search”. For more info about the directory form setup, please read the following posts:

1.2) Every BuddyPress style setting available is located in your Customizer. You can access them by navigating to “Appearance > Customize > Community”. Some card features can also be changed with custom CSS code. You can add some in “Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS”.

2) Yes, you can change this setting but some coding skills will be required to do this. First, you will need to upload and activate the default child theme (gwangi-child). Then, you will need to override several buddypress templates, like described in the following topics:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/alphabetical-members-directory/
https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/how-can-i-make-the-buddypress-members-directory-default-to-display-all-my-members-in-alphabetical-order-by-default

Basically, every BuddyPress template in which you will find this line:
<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) ) ) : ?>
will need to be changed to the following line:
<?php if ( bp_has_members(bp_ajax_querystring( 'members').'&type=alphabetical') ) : ?>

3) To remove the overlay on header images in group and profile pages, please copy and paste this code snippet to your custom CSS editor:

/* Remove gradient for member and group profile */
.buddypress.groups.single-item .entry-content > #buddypress:after,
.buddypress.bp-user .entry-content > #buddypress:after {
	content: none !important;
}

/* Remove the black overlay for member and group profile */
#buddypress div#item-header #header-cover-image:before {
	content: none !important;
}

/* Remove the on scroll opacity effect for member and group profile */
#buddypress div#item-header #header-cover-image {
	opacity: 1 !important;
}

/* Remove the on scroll fixed effect for member and group profile */
@media (min-width: 992px) {
	#buddypress div#item-header #header-cover-image {
	    position: absolute !important;
	}	
}

We hope it helps. ?

Regards
