Nice work @djpaul, looking forward to bp_send_email() being available. Ref: 6592#29

Aw man, that’s a shame. I was sure I had it working not long ago, perhaps it was on an old version of WP and BP.

This looks for a click on a page element with ID message-threads and then executes the starAction function. If you wanted to disable it, just make sure you don’t have anything on your page with an ID of message-threads. For example, just change the ID to something else:

<div id="message-threads">
// Stuff.
</div>

Note: Be sure nothing else…[Read more]

Welcome Pack allows you to customise templates for emails. Give that plugin a try

That sounds very strange. Are you using any plugins? What theme are you using?

To like something are you using a plugin? BuddyPress doesn’t come with like functionality out of the box. I would think the plugin you’re using should supply the notification functionality. Try asking your plugin’s author to see if they can add the feature for you.

If you’re not comfortable with code, then try searching for a plugin. I’m not aware of one but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one out there 🙂

Could this be an issue with your theme? Try with the Twenty Fifteen theme enabled just to make sure. Also, sometimes plugins can cause problems. Deactivate everything aside from BP and then try testing again.

You can modify your theme to add “directions”. Check out the Template Hierarchy article for more info.

Check out bp_notifications_add_notification().

Ref: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_notifications_add_notification/

I haven’t seen a plugin that can do those things. Have you searched the WP Plugin Directory?

Also is index.php the page that shows lists of groups or the groups profile page?

There are different index.php templates. Here is another one for example. If you start from here you should be able to browse through all of the templates available.

BuddyPress starts with the index.php template and makes use of bp_get_template_part() to load the “partials” such as members-loop.php. See here for an example.

Nice thanks @danbp, this is very useful 🙂

Hi @namrons, unfortunately I have no spare time right now to develop this. Hope you find someone who can help you out!

Does How to make my site like Facebook help?

If I disable email confirmation then it opens the site to even more spammers.

Personally, I’d never do that because as you say it opens the door to spoof emails, and therefore much more spam.

I’d reach out to your users and try to find out what is causing the emails to go into their spam folders. For example, do they have custom spam filters set…[Read more]

You could activate some kind of registration honeypot to keep the spam bots out. This technique has worked well for me in the past.

Regarding the confirmation email problem, this seems to be a common problem and one that isn’t easily solved. Many things can result in email going…[Read more]
