– I’ve turned off all PHP warnings like the first paragraph says so.

But are you a developer or a user?

With reference to any BP core changes being necessary – does the warning appear when using BP ‘out-of-the-box’ or are you introducing some code that is causing it? If it is resulting from some custom code, paste it here… and i’ll try taking a look

@barney92 you have to pass 5 variables to your filter function then return $email_content. So,

function my_personal_message( $email_content, $sender_name, $subject, $content, $message_link, $settings_link ) {

PHP Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare()

Take a look at this post which will give you some background as to why WP throws that warning at you.

@dsvay can you view your own notifications page?

Each member’s notifications page can be viewed by that member only. For example, you can’t log in as Member X and view Member H’s notifications page.

The terminology is important here. WordPress ‘pages’ shouldn’t be confused with the more loosely termed web ‘page’. Although BP ‘pages’ are webpages, they aren’t WordPress pages so is_page() isn’t going to work *most of the time*. The exception is register, activate etc.

For a list of template tags you can use with BP ‘pages’ take a look…[Read more]

bp_get_profile_field_data() queries the database once, so every time you use it will result in a database query taking place. You’re right to say lots of database querying impacts performance. Performance will depend on how many queries you’re using, your hardware spec and the amount user activity your site generates.

where are you planning to…[Read more]

Hi @macpresss

What do you mean by ‘export all profile fields by a conditional tag’?

Doing what you’ve done above is good practice because if Country is an optional field and it has not been completed by the member then nothing will be outputted:

<?php if ( $data = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Country ' ) ) : ?>
<!-- do something…[Read more]

@_dorsvenabili when adding custom functions to functions.php it might be a good idea to add a prefix to all of your function names. As you can see buddyboss has done it with buddyboss_childtheme_.

You could have used dorsvenabili_core_get_notifications_for_user or my_core_get_notifications_for_user

Saves conflicts from happening 🙂

@macpresss I wouldn’t use that code from web developers wall in the members loop as it will add a database query for each member. It is more intended for use on the profile page. For the members loop, there are better ways to do it performance wise.

@craigheyworth

Any initial thoughts on the most optimum way to achieve this considering the reporcussions on SEO etc?

Keep in mind the search engine bot will be visiting your site as a ‘logged-out’ site visitor, so it won’t see any of the content you display to logged in users only.

One approach you could take is to have a different front page…[Read more]

I recently had to find activity item info outside the loop and came across a nifty little function bp_activity_get_specific() which can be used like so

$activity = bp_activity_get_specific( array( 'activity_ids' => $activity_id ) );
$activity = $activity['activities'][0];

You can then do stuff like echo…[Read more]

Also, perhaps the emails are being sent but falling into user’s spam folders. Perhaps ask them to check

Hi @noizeburger, glad you finally got this working. I’m sure your tutorial will be helpful to many people too. I especially like the last snippet which shows you how to disable the editing of certain fields on the edit profile screen!

Not that I know of although it is easily done. You could query the activity table to find all entries related to a particular entry. How you define related will determine your query. For instance, you could query by action (new private message, new member registration and so on) or you could query by component, date recorded and so on

Definitely possible although it would need some custom code to accept a value from each user so that a different list of blog posts specific to each user can be displayed.

Can’t you just disable it in WP Admin?

Where does this come from? I’ve never seen it before.

@applegateian

Are you using a plugin to generate that text? I can’t find it anywhere in BP.

Hi @applegateian

Viewing member 1 to 9 (of 9 active members)

I’m familiar with this text but where does the following text originate from? Are you using a plugin to generate it?

You could hide it with CSS display: none; or remove it at the source, via a filter perhaps.
