BuddyPress.org

What version did you update *from*?

Not sure. It might be getting blocked on delivery by spam filters, perhaps due to the content of the email.

As an experiment, you could try editing that email type in the wp-admin and removing all the default words and text and links (after making a backup of this email). Enter some “testing” text of your choice, and then see if that gets delivered.

@rastislavkr unless your problem is identical, down to the same plugin, please start your own new thread discussion next time. 🙂

Generally speaking, I believe BuddyPress should render third-party shortcakes in its theme compatibility templates. How easy is this to reproduce?

If it’s very quick and easy, and you provide step-by-step…[Read more]

I suspect by now you’d have been able to duplicate them if you’d started manually. 🙂

There’s no built in functionality for this. You could have tried duplicating the rows in the database (not trivial unless you are familiar with MySQL), or perhaps seeing if you could automate something with the BuddyPress extension for WP-CLI:…[Read more]

Short answer is WordPress has a totally crap email API, and it’s really hard to reliable filter the core WordPress emails. That’s a big part of the reason I wrote a modern email API for BuddyPress, because WordPress itself is doing a bad job.

Let me know if you think this is something we should prioritise. It’s been a while since we’ve improved…[Read more]

Do not duplicate your requests for help. Volunteers here have limited time: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-page-title-remove/

In version 2.9.4, we fixed deliverability problems for account activation and email address change emails for Outlook.com users.

Your cloned site – is that on the same server as the main site? If it isn’t (even if they are on different accounts provided by the same hosting company), you could ask them to check that the server-side email sending…[Read more]

Venutius, maybe we should look at bringing the shortcakes into BuddyPress core sometime.

By default, your theme’s page.php is used as the wrapper. In your theme, duplicate that file and rename it to buddypress.php. Then you can edit that wrapper template and it will only affect BuddyPress.

I am not sure why this might not work. I suspect, too, it is a conflict with some other plugin or theme that affects permalinks or page management, but it’s impossible to tell without actually working through the code and checking your database. Perhaps the theme, as you said you’ve tried disabling all plugins.

If you let me know your versions of…[Read more]

You’ll need to be a reasonably competent developer, familiar with WordPress, to achieve this. There is some documentation at https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/bp_activity_add-2/ that might help you get started. Good luck!

Hi @jerrysmith212

Thanks for the kind words! BuddyPress does *use* a cron task for only one thing — if Activity component is active and you also have the Akismet plugin enabled, then there’s an integration between the two, and our cron task periodically tidies up old metadata.

We do nothing that I know of that affects WordPress’ cron system,…[Read more]

Because the object cache caches query results from the database and if you modify the database – either directly or using WP’s DB APIs – you to clear it. Otherwise you’ll end up with inconsistent results.

Using WP-CLI is probably easiest for this: https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/cache/flush/

If you don’t know enough to write these…[Read more]

I’m afraid BP Emails struggle with HTML.

Submit a bug report, friend. 🙂

Also clear WordPress object cache after manipulating the DB directly.

I can’t immediately guess why enabling Extended Profile (or Account Settings) stops emails sending.

What email are testing in this situation, and how are you triggering it?

PHP error log files are another source of information.

p.s. WordPress does not have a “birthday date” field by default. BuddyPress provides the “Extended Profile” screen. If some other plugin has added a field with that same name/heading, and BuddyPress causes it to disappear, then there’s probably some sort of code conflict you’d need to…[Read more]

@johnnymarin Searching the BuddyPress code base for “Extended Profile” would have shown you the relevant WordPress action hooks to use are edit_user_profile and show_user_profile.

Have a look at class BP_Members_Admin->profile_nav() for an implementation example. 🙂

Why does this have any relevance at all on PHP7 vs any other PHP version??

Right, a white page is a typical PHP Server error. Start by looking in your server’s log files (or asking your host for support to do that).
