Great to hear! A typo in the function name is always a hard one to debug unless the function doesn’t exist and you get a PHP error.

Can you see what bp_activity_id() is returning by using var_dump() on the $actID variable?

Are you sure the emails aren’t being sent? Could the BP emails be going into a spam folder?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

It’s a single field.

That’s good because it makes the user location simple

Thanks for the info!

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

Nice @shanebp!

Does the plugin support dependent fields? This kind of thing:

Town
City – auto populated based on value of Town
Country – auto populated based on value of Town

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

Thanks; it’s useful to know 🙂

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

That’s an interesting plugin. Do you know if the location fields are xProfile fields?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

Take a look at the Template Hierarchy article. The register.php template is the one you’ll need to modify.

BuddyPress doesn’t have testimonial functionality but you should be able to find a plugin to get what you need.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

You can dequeue a minified script with wp_dequeue_script() and then enqueue the non-minified version with wp_enqueue_script().

Is the Friend Connections component activated when you go to Settings > BuddyPress?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

Meta would allow you to segregate activity item types. You could add to meta after a new activity item is posted. The hook for that is bp_activity_add.

Hope this helps.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

BuddyPress activity items aren’t WordPress posts so as far as I know you can’t associate categories or tags with them. However, activity items do have associated meta.

Take a look at these functions which will be useful to you:

bp_activity_add_meta()
bp_activity_update_meta()
bp_activity_get_meta()
bp_activity_delete_meta()

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

Try this:

$args = array(
    'meta_key'       => 'group_id',
    'meta_value'     => '1',
    'meta_compare'   => '=',
    'post_type'      => 'event',
    'posts_per_page' => -1
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
    // Events
} else {
    // No events
}

Try using bp_parse_args instead. That’s the way I’d recommend to filter the members loop (both pagination and the loop of members will be addressed)

Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

You have 2 options. I’d recommend the 2nd:

1: Copy and paste the JavaScript to your my-theme/buddypress/members/register.php template. In this case you’ll need to copy the <script> tags also.
2: Create a separate file (my-theme/js/script.js for example) and paste the JavaScript into that. In this case you don’t need to copy the <script> tags. If you go down this route you will need to enqueue the script. See this article for info on how to do that:

wp_enqueue_script()

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

Is that possible?

Yes but you’ll need to install some plugins and maybe write some custom code to get the functionality you need.

Hey @kdannay

Is BuddyPress actually sending – or is the problem at your client’s end? i.e. your client’s email client can’t display the – character properly?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

I just spoke with Boone, he suggested a reinstall of BuddyPress is needed because it looks as though your upgrade didn’t complete properly. bp-core-functions.php shouldn’t contain a reference to the BP_Core_Sort_By_Key_Callback class because the class was removed in 2.8.0.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

The file (and class) exists in 2.7.4 but not in 2.8.0. I’ll ask over at Slack and report back.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

Note email addresses are used for password management (resetting a lost password for example). If members use dummy email addresses they risk being locked out of the site if they forget their password.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

I believe xprofile_insert_field() will insert or update a profile field. Here’s an example of how to use it:

$f = xprofile_insert_field( array(
    'field_group_id' => 8,
    'type'           => 'textbox',
    'name'           => 'Foo',
    'is_required'    => false,
    'can_delete'     => false,
    'description'    => 'This is a description.'
) );

On success, $f will be the ID of the new field.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

You should try asking on the plugin’s support forum. Hopefully the author will be able to help.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

Try using Twenty Fifteen and disabling all plugins. It’s either a plugin or your theme that’s slowing things down. Once you find the culprit you can try opening a support ticket with the theme or plugin author.
