In reply to: How to Change the From Email for Activation
Can you share the link that you get in the email so we can see what it looks like and where it goes?
In reply to: How to Change the From Email for Activation@steigw does the email link work if you take out your changes, and test?
Is it always broken or only broken when this custom function is in place?
In reply to: No Fields On Registration Page After InstallingRight, good spot — not sure where got the
.htmlon the end of the URL from. If it’s form a menu or template that BuddyPress generates, let us know which one and I’ll try to figure out this crazyiness. 🙂This isn’t possible out of the box. Heavily customising the templates/API like suggested above is one route, another is faking it with CSS tabs, etc.
In reply to: Private messaging with friend auto complete styleIf you’re referring to this https://cloudup.com/cmbgottNhQf — yes, that particular autocomplete script is awful (the other at-mention auto-complete used elsewhere throughout a site are better). Sorry. 🙁
I am not sure what you want, however. This autocomplete script is added to the screen via the
messages_autocomplete_init_jsblockfunction. If you look at jquery.autocomplete.js, maybe there’s an option you could use, or initialize it differently.A different, maybe better approach than the hell that is this 2007-era jquery.autocomplete.js script, is to replace it with the other autocomplete script we use throughout BuddyPress. I forget why we haven’t done it yet; it may just be a lack of time, or perhaps there’s some complexity I’m forgetting as I write this message.
— If this sounds interesting, let me introduce you to what we’re calling BP Nouveau — a replacement for the BP Classic set of templates. It’s not done yet for production use, but take a look at this specific function: https://github.com/buddypress/next-template-packs/blob/master/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/js/buddypress-messages.js#L524
I am 99% sure that unhooking
messages_autocomplete_init_jsblockand instead adding a copy of that JS function from BP Nouveau will switch over the auto-complete for the “Send Messages To” field. There may be further tweaks needed to make this work out-of-the-box, but it seems to work well in BP Nouveau, so dig arounds its CSS if something looks off.Hope this helps
In reply to: Unable to create new groupsThe URL to create a Group is
http://example.com/groups/create/. Can you test that (obviously substituting your real domain) and let me us know if it works?The URL that looks like
/members/groups/createis suspicious, so if the above link does work, we’ll need to figure out what’s happening to the link you’re clicking, but one step at a time!In reply to: Widget doesn’t show up on Home ProfileDo widgets work on non-BuddyPress specific pages? Such as, a site footer or sidebar. I am trying to understand if they are broken everywhere or only broken on BuddyPress screens.
If widgets generally do work, have you confirmed that a widget that does work, does NOT show up on the BuddyPress page? If so, what widget is that? (Just need one example).
Please also let us know the names of all active plugins on your site, thanks.
In reply to: problem with confirmation codeHi @israelle
It appears something is modifying the email that’s being sent. Clearly, that link is wrong and doesn’t even point to your webiste.
What web host are you using? And, please give a list of all the plugins you have active on your site.
In reply to: [Resolved] How to change default Registration LinkGo to wp-admin -> Pages, and find the page called “register”. Edit it, then adjust the permalink to “create-new-user” like so: http://cdn2.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/edit-post-url.png
This should be all you need to do.
@ndsailor It sounds like you’ve got some development skills, so I’d suggest starting with some backtracing or debug statements in wp_insert_post or the like, and follow it upwards. I think we’re going to struggle to even begin to offer any meaningful guesses this far removed from the overall code. 🙁
In reply to: buddypress settings no save optionWell… that sure is super odd. It’s working for me on a couple of sites.
In reply to: Force sslThere are known problems with the member/group Cover Image features not using HTTPS URLs, but everything else ought to work if you configure WordPress to use HTTPS.
In reply to: Exporting and importing user data to a new siteClosing in favour of https://buddypress.org/support/topic/import-xprofile-csv/, which the most recent responder also posted. (This thread was 4 months old prior to this last post).
In reply to: Extended profile importsYou don’t need to post basically the same thing three times. Closing in favour of https://buddypress.org/support/topic/import-xprofile-csv/
In reply to: Deactivate pending usersI’m not aware of any plugin that offers a feature to remove the activation URL. You would instead have to delete the user/signup record entirely.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/unconfirmed/ might help.
In reply to: Register Link redirects to index.php/register> When you click on Register
WHERE exactly are you clicking on Register? Can you share a link to your site?
In reply to: Redirect does not workI think you need to disable all your plugins (and any other code tweaks), while running a default WP theme, until you figure out what’s causing the behaviour.
In reply to: Attribution for cover images@davidpaul30 It doesn’t support this at the moment, you’d have to custom develop it.
In reply to: White Screen after 2.6.2 upgradeAh – the set of plugins that you deactivated – if you can share the names, maybe that will help us figure out similar problems with other sites in the future. Thanks!
Glad you got your site fixed.
In reply to: New user notification emails stopped?Hi @dnicu26
I can’t immediately see why that should be stopping the emails. Can you remove the snippet and test again, see if the emails resume sending?
Are you talking about the plain text email that you get from WordPress that says something like a “new user registered on your site”? I assume this has always worked in the past — how many such emails have you received? 10s? 100s?
Can you also please check your spam folders in your email?
Finally, are you using Multisite or regular WordPress?
OK, useful. This works for me, so I think I misunderstood your ticket. Can you clarify:
So, if i click the avatar i see correctly the member page, if i click the red name member i see error 404
Is your site public so I can see this?
(p.s. do not use username compatibility mode – just remove that line I said).
This might just not be supported, especially if the username compatibility mode didn’t help.
For one of these users, look in the database. i.e. for Alex7, what’s the user_login and user_nicename field values?
In reply to: 2 sites, shared userbase?Hi @sfarinsky! Let’s get the terminology right, that may be why you’ve had struggle searching for answers.
A Multi-Site is a collection of individual Sites (blogs). A Multi-Site runs inside one Network. It is possible to have Multi-Networks, which lets you run multiple Networks — all from the same set of WordPress files.
Multi-Networks are not exposed by default, and require extra plugins to enable and manage (they’re a fairly advanced option; I have no idea how they work, to be honest).
So, yes. You have a multisite and a network (though the latter is normally a technicality). 🙂
Single Sign-On (SSO) should “just work”. Multiple domains should also “just work”, though you need to have a plugin that helps you achieve SSO across a multiple domain environment (because WordPress sets authentication cookies per-site, and cookies set on one site can’t be read from another site).
If your question is how do you get domain mapping and single sign-on, I’d suggest this plugin: https://github.com/humanmade/Mercator
Hope this helps
In reply to: Errors showing bp core ?OK, lots of plugins. I am pretty sure it must be caused by one of the other plugins, but unfortunately we can’t get any more detailed information from this error.
Do you have a test site / development site for this? What you really need to do is switch to a default WordPress theme and see if the error message still shows up.
If it does, then you’ll need to start deactivating your plugins until you find which one causes the error to disappear when you turn it off. Once you have that, maybe someone can look at the code for that plugin and try to understand what’s happening.
An alternative is to add some debug code to print a more useful error message, but that’s something that should also only be done on a test/dev site.
