In reply to: Future of BuddyPress?
Hello! This thread is mostly accurate, but just to wrap things up —
@jjj has been working at 10up.com since August, and I’ve been at Automattic since the beginning of 2013. John and I had been contributing to BuddyPress for years before we started at Automattic. Our day jobs only affect our contributions to BuddyPress in a positive way; as @henrywright-1 pointed out, John’s built a whole new notifications component since he’s been at 10up! Wow!
While Automattic does own BuddyPress and the trademark in a very legal sense — and it’s my personal wish that one day the BP trademark is transferred to the WordPress foundation — they have no influence over the day-to-day of the plugin, and John remains in charge of the ship.
In reply to: Bluehost suggested I ask about these tablesIf you want to use BuddyPress, then yes, you need these tables. Deleting these tables will cause all sorts of things to break. 3GB in activity seems extreme – be interesting to know what type of records are filling it up if you can get MySQL access.
In reply to: Private Message button only appears sometimesHi @welshdemo
The theme’s fine. The problem is actually caused by a bug in our widgets (you’re using the Members list and the “Who’s online?” widgets). We’re tracking the bug here https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5170 and currently aiming to fix it by the 2.0 release, which is probably 4 months away. If we get a fix before then, we’ll put it into a 1.9.x small release.
A workaround is to make sure that no BuddyPress widgets are rendered before the main content of the page. i.e. try moving the widgets to the right-hand column, or a widget area at the bottom of the page, or just removing the widgets.

In reply to: New to WP and BP issue with profile editWhat webserver are you using? IIS?
Anything’s possible, but you’d need to hire a developer to write the code for you.
In reply to: [Resolved] Filter for notifications slugNo, it’s hardcoded in a bunch of places, sorry. Looking to improve this in BuddyPress 2.0, but the effort might not be fully finished until some release after that one.
In reply to: bbPress to Activity importIt sounds like you’ve run the importer that comes with bbPress 2. If BuddyPress and Activity were set up and working prior to you running that data import/migration, I would expect the Activity stream to be populated. If this isn’t the case, perhaps it is a bug. Might be worth a quick look on bbpress.org’s forums to see if the question has been asked before.
I’m not aware of any scripts or plugins that backfill the data for you.
In reply to: Member stats errorIt’s a problem with the buddypress-member-profile-stats plugin. That plugin hasn’t been updated since 2011-11-5, so I’m not particularly surprised there are problems. You’re probably best to try to find an alternative plugin to use.
In reply to: javascript precedenceWe saw your bug report and left an initial response on the ticket at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5208.
We need a bit more information to work on this issue. Thanks!
In reply to: oembed for soundcloud via bbPress in group forumIf you’re having issues with embeds in bbPress forums, the best place to report any issues or discussion is, of course, the bbPress.org support forums 😉
Good idea, though you’d want the code to look like this:
id="<?php echo esc_attr( bp_get_the_profile_field_name() ); ?>" ...This ensures the output is correctly escaped to avoid XSS attacks.
In reply to: BP Template Packbp-template-pack was removed on purpose to avoid confusion with recent versions of BuddyPress. Any references to it in older docs should be tidied up 🙂
In reply to: REMOVE “full name” fieldThe default field that comes with xProfile is hardcoded in several places inside BuddyPress. You will probably find a couple of ways of removing it, but doing so will likely cause problems elsewhere unless you test your site fully and thoroughly to make sure it’s OK.
In reply to: Help!! Error on buddypress@terriblehelpcenter You don’t have exactly the same issue. Compare the messages that you posted vs. the original poster.
Your problem is with the bp-gallery plugin.
In reply to: Function to update databse fields@xkronik13x’s code is all kinds of bad. @shanebp points out one of the reasons 🙂
In reply to: Function to update databse fieldsIn the nicest way possible, assuming that something you don’t know how to do is easy is a fairly common misconception about how hard or time-consuming a thing is.
Likewise, this question is too general and vague to answer; if you can give details about what exactly your end goal is, perhaps someone here knows of an existing solution or plugin you can use.
In reply to: How to change the font color of Profile Fields.I moved the inline CSS into the pastebin link because it made this thread massively long.
In reply to: The Best Cache’ing solution for BP?Those two questions aren’t really relevant here. A quick Google search will suggest object caching solutions for WordPress:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/apc/ is one of them, if your web host is using APC. You’ll have to ask them to find this out.
In reply to: Links modification wp6Yes, the https://wordpress.org/ support forums for this plugin will be a better place.
In reply to: The Best Cache’ing solution for BP?If you’re not already using one, set up an object cache. It’s relatively simple and will be a big improvement for all WordPress things, not just BuddyPress.
Closing as topic was 12 months old prior to your reply.
BP has a very old bug where some activation keys didn’t work correctly. I have not looked into this for some months but, if I remember correctly, the issue was very hard for a developer to re-produce to be able to try to find out what the bug was.
Also, it’s possible that some site configurations might cause a problem. Does the activation link in the emails link to the correct site? Is the URL correct?
In reply to: Two installations have failedThis isn’t really a BuddyPress specific problem. You’ve activated a plugin or theme that doesn’t work, and it’s causing these errors.
Reinstall WordPress, then BuddyPress. Use a default WordPress theme. Everything will be fine. Reactive plugins one-by-one until the error comes back. You’ve figured out what plugin(s) are misbehaving, so deactivate and delete them. Then try switching back to your theme, and seeing if it all still works.
Hint: from your logs, the “BP Group Extras” plugin is causing problems, so get rid of that.
In reply to: Problem in buddypressBP Courseware hasn’t been updated in almost a year, and I’m pretty sure that the plugin’s developer isn’t working on the WP plugin any more. The error’s probably caused by some forum changes that happened in BP at least a year ago.
