BuddyPress.org

That’s funny, someone else is trying to do something similar: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/the-username-i-wanted-to-hide-is-seen-in-the-messaging/

As I note in that other thread, it’s going to be hard to hide the username since it’s fundamental to BP messaging and mentions. Sorry, I can’t think of any straighforward way to change that behavior.

Your problem appears to be that a plugin called Learndash is trying to use a function groups_is_user_member() before that function is defined, or maybe you are not using the BuddyPress Groups component, then it will not be defined. You’ll beed to explain the issue to the Learndash plugin authors so they can check for the function to exist before…[Read more]

Hi @visitatore–

The username is used extensively through BuddyPress, so I don’t know how it can be kept a secret. (For instance, it’s used for the user’s profile page url at /members/{username}.)

I don’t think you can hide the username entirely, since the BP messaging and mention system is built on the username, but you could probably change out…[Read more]

On what hook are you firing that function? Are you using the Legacy or Nouveau template pack? (Have you changed from the Legacy to Nouveau template pack recently?)

It could be a number of things, but my first thought is that there’s no reason to be changing the groups nav when you’re in the middle of the create routine, so maybe there’s a more…[Read more]

That’s pretty old code you’ve found. We have a new API for that:

Navigation API

The example “Changing the name of the Unread subnav item of the user’s Notifications nav menu” is pretty close to what you’re looking for. If you want to add the displayed user’s display name, this is close:

function b…[Read more]

Can you say what the update was? Was it a BuddyPress update or a WordPress update (or some other plugin), or do you know?

Thanks!

You might look at using Member Types to organize your members: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/member-types/

Great, thanks for the update!

That really depends on your theme. You can use your browser’s inspector to see what CSS rules are causing the layout, then override them by adding custom rules to your site via the customizer or by using a child theme.

Various email services filter for spam in different ways, and it can be a real trick to get the activation mail to be delivered. I’ve had good luck using an API mailer like SendGrid or similar, where you can set up all the extra email supporting stuff like DKIM and SPF. Several of the popular API mailers have WP plugins, so that’s one way you can…[Read more]

I suspect the problem is with your modal-based login. Try TwentyNineteen temporarily to see if the issue persists.

It sounds like you may have to disable the BP no access redirect with your theme.

Well, you’ll have to be sure that the “Profile Field URL” field has the id of 6 on your installation. On your site, visit the Profile Fields admin at Wp Admin > Users > Profile Fields (/wp-admin/users.php?page=bp-profile-setup) and hover over the “Edit” button for the field you want to affect. The link will look something like /wp-admin/users.php?p…[Read more]

Hi, feel free to look at the source code where BP calls PHPMailer:
https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/5.0.0/src/bp-core/classes/class-bp-phpmailer.php#L19

As you can see, unless you are using a plugin that is injecting an older version of PHPMailer on the bp_phpmailer_object filter, BP is using the PHPMailer class included in the WP…[Read more]

HI @discovered96–

That’s interesting. With the Legacy template, the activity stream is built and served as part of the page, so it sounds like a theme display issue. Can you try your site with a basic theme like TwentyNineteen to see if the issue persists?

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.
