Hi @cviniusj-

It sounds like you are wanting user who register via WooCommerce to appear as members on the members directory in BP. What you’ll have to do is add a last_activity meta item for those users when they register, so that BP will include them in user queries. I’m not knowedgable about Woo, but something like this might…[Read more]

Hi @tsurf–

That sounds like a big project. You’ll need to work with a knowledgable developer (or become one yourself) to solve it.

Hi @mon2-

You’d have to write some custom code to add that functionality. (That’s beyond the scope of the support forum.) I’m guessing that you could add a WP Cron job that fetches old friendship requests and send the notifications again, but it would take some work on your part. You can see how the initial request email is sent…[Read more]

Are you using the Legacy or Nouveau template set? If you are using Nouveau, the activity items are loaded via AJAX, so there could be a delay if your server doesn’t respond quickly to the AJAX request, but there should be a box that says “loading the activity items or similar”.

Please also test this problem with a basic theme like TwentyNineteen,…[Read more]

Have you already tried the BuddyPress repair tools? They’re in your WP-admin dashboard > Tools > BuddyPress (at /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bp-tools).

Hi @chrix22–

I don’t think that that is a core BuddyPress screen. Are you adding it via a plugin or the theme you’ve chosen? If so, you’ll need to seek support there.

Appears to be a false alarm.

We are using the PHPMailer class that is included in WordPress. In WP latest stable release (5.2.4) the version of PHPMailer is 5.2.22 and in 5.3 it’s 5.2.27. The problematic PHPMailer versions are < 5.2.20.

If anyone has come up with the CSS rule to solve this issue, please share it for other forum users. Thanks!

Thanks for managing this ticket!

Thanks for the update!

Can you enable debugging and see what php error is being thrown?

Debugging in WordPress

When you see the message “The site is experiencing technical difficulties.”, it means that there has been an error thrown, and you’ll need to know what is going wrong where to resolve your issue.

Please let us know wha…[Read more]

What should happen is that the user is bounced to wp-login.php with the “return_to” address set to the page they were trying to reach.

Do you have any other plugins that are managing the login form or handling redirects more generally?

Note that you will have to have “Enable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing” checked in order for the function I provided to work.

Also, “WP offers the ability to set the display_name to any of the other names (nickname, first name last name, username, and more)”, yes that’s true, but when your preference is saved, the value you chose is c…[Read more]

Sorry, it’s not the BP nickname field. That’s actually a WP user meta field.

Other things that appear to be true:
• BP uses WP’s “Display Name” to label the user in activity items and elsewhere.
• WP’s ‘nickname’ meta is required but not used widely?

So it seems like the key field for display in BP, bbPress and WP is WP’s “display name” field…[Read more]

Hi Tom-

It sounds like you have a lot of balls in the air. For instance:

Remember, I have removed the original xprofile_sync function.

Honestly, I can’t know enough about your setup to tell you anything for sure. What I can tell you is this:

• bbPress uses WordPress’s “Display Name” field, not a BuddyPress field.
• BuddyPress only updates the…[Read more]

Hi. I don’t know what you mean. Can you post an image of the problem to imgur or imgbb or similar?

There are several ways to edit messages. Since these messages are filtered (it’s applied here: https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/5.0.0/src/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/includes/functions.php#L932), you could add something like this in your bp-custom.php file:


add_filter( 'bp_nouveau_feedback_messages', function ( $messages )…[Read more]

Users are considered “active” when they have contributed something to the site. This is judged by whether they have an item in the bp_activity table. You could add fake last_activity items directly to the database table to make it look like they are active users.

You could also change the loop templates (like members/members-loop.php) to actually…[Read more]

Hi @ibes–

I’d try to use Xprofile for managing profile fields. There’s a lot of baked-in goodness with the Xprofile component.

Obviously, I don’t know what will work in your situation, but it seems like name matching is reasonable. You could probably also extend the Xprofile Groups and Fields classes to add some sort of persistent-ID parameter…[Read more]

Hi Tom-

I’d guess that you (or the previous site admin) edited the Display Name field to be called “Name.” You can check by visiting this screen on your installation: /wp-admin/users.php?page=bp-profile-setup

“Display Name” is usually the first profile field created, so if you inspect the input, and it has the name=field_1, then you can guess…[Read more]
