Turn off WP_DEBUG in wp-config.php and you should be able to continue using the “Re-order Group Tabs” plugin.

As for BP Group Hierarchy, that probably requires an update to function properly.

BuddyPress 2.5.3 can be found here:

Try switching your theme to a WordPress default theme.

If that doesn’t work, disable all unnecessary plugins. If that works, then re-enable your plugins one at a time to see which plugin is causing trouble.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

Sorry to hear you are experiencing trouble.

You could try adapting the friend count script:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.3/src/bp-core/admin/bp-core-admin-tools.php#L168

Or, if you are familiar with wp-cli, you could convert that script into a wp-cli command:
http://wp-cli.org/docs/commands-cookbook/

Then, you could run the script through wp-cli.

@terpz – I think your problem is similar to this thread:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/registration-and-edit-profile-issue/

Try the recommendation listed here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/registration-and-edit-profile-issue/#post-254078

I’ve listed this bug report here:

If you are going to be using functions from BP components, you should check if that component is active before using that function.

For example:

if ( bp_is_active( 'messages' ) ) {
    $count = bp_get_total_unread_messages_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() );
}

Group Extension API only works for groups. Andrew is asking about member navigation.

There is currently no member extension API.

Check out the bp_core_new_nav_item() and bp_core_new_subnav_item() functions in bp-core/bp-core-buddybar.php:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.6.0-rc1/src/bp-core/bp-core-buddybar.php?marks=15-38,369-399#L15

You’d want to register your navs on the 'bp_setup_nav' hook.

eg.

function my_custom_bp_nav() {
	// Fill this in from the documentation.
	$nav_args = array();

	// Add nav.
	bp_core_new_nav_item( $nav_args );

	// If you need to add another nav, copy and paste the block above and paste here.
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'my_custom_bp_nav' );

Check out this older example on the codex as well:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/core/bp_core_new_nav_item/

Depending on your requirements, you could also use the BP Skeleton Component:
https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-skeleton-component

However, that might be too much for what you need.

You should only activate group extensions on the BuddyPress site whenever possible, not network-wide.

What happens when you activate the group extensions only on the BuddyPress site?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

Try this snippet instead:

if ( defined( 'WP_NETWORK_ADMIN' ) ) {
	error_log( 'group extension: ' . get_called_class() );
}

Make sure that WP_DEBUG is turned on. Then, when the fatal error occurs, check wp-content/debug.log to see if anything is logged with group_extension:.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

@sharmavishal – Do you see anything printed in the browser when the fatal error occurs?

Something like:
BP_Groupblog_ExtensionBBP_Forums_Group_Extension?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

Yeah, that’s right.

We ran out of time to add these features, but we will in BP 2.7.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

@sharmavishal – Can you add the following in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/classes/class-bp-group-extension.php:

if ( defined( 'WP_NETWORK_ADMIN' ) ) {
	echo get_called_class();
}

Right before this:

// Usually this will work.
$group_id = bp_get_current_group_id();

This should print the names of the group extension classes that are being loaded right before the fatal error.

Can you copy and paste this info here?

Thanks!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

You can only manage group types when editing a group in the WP admin dashboard’s “Groups” page at the moment.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

@sharmavishal – I tested on a multisite subdirectory setup and going to the “Network Admin > Sites” dashboard page to create a new site (is this what you used as well?) and I could not duplicate the error.

I’m guessing it is a BP group extension plugin that is loading too early. Do you have any BP group plugins installed on your site?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

so i can bp group types following the codex and add it in bp-custom.php?

Yes, you can add the code to wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

@sharmavishal @harrytsang – I have split this bug report into its own topic from the main beta topic thread.

Can you please list the steps for how you are encountering this fatal error? On what page? We need to duplicate this bug. Also, list the plugins you are using.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

Sjoerd – I think your issue should be fixed in BuddyPress 2.6.

BuddyPress 2.6 is going to be released next week, so if you can wait until then that would be great.

Or, you can test our release candidate version here:

BuddyPress 2.6.0 Release Candidate 1 now available for testing

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

but BP Group types is comming in BuddyPress 2.6..just wait for that if that would meet your requirements cause that would be in the core of bp…

For BuddyPress 2.6, group types will not allow you to sort groups into sub-groups. It’s only a developer feature for organizing groups into different types (think tagging posts) at the moment. We hope to expand this feature in future versions.

Check out the codex article for more info:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/group-types

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

We do not show the preview of the URL in the actual activity stream. It shows up in the activity embed when you want to share your activity update on other sites.

Check out the codex article for more info:
https://codex.buddypress.org/activity-embeds

Your suggestion is something I’ve been thinking about as well, but this will be changing the default behavior of oEmbed items since BP v1.5. We might think about this for a later version of BuddyPress.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

Blank notifications are usually caused by a plugin.

To find out which plugin is causing it, hover over the “Read” link for the blank notification on your Notifications page. You should see the notification_id parameter. Memorize the value of that parameter.

Now, go into your database using phpMyAdmin or Adminer and find the wp_bp_notifications DB table. Under id, locate the notification ID we memorized above.

Note down the component_name and component_action for this notification. This should narrow down the plugin that created that notification.

So what you’re looking for is to use a custom user avatar instead of BuddyPress’?

Try the following code snippet in your theme’s functions.php or wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:

remove_filter( 'get_avatar', 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter', 10, 6 );

Update – That code snippet only reverts the avatar in WordPress posts and comments.

To override BuddyPress avatars in BuddyPress content with a custom avatar solution, you would have to hook into the 'bp_core_fetch_avatar' filter:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.3/src/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php?marks=534-549#L534

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

Add the following either to your theme’s functions.php file or /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:
https://gist.github.com/r-a-y/c9eb7c7f5bff2afb271a9b1edbf56a59

Haven’t tested for breadcrumbs, but that code snippet changes the <title> tag and the page title to use whatever is set in the admin area.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 10 years, 4 months ago]

The problem is due to bbPress.

Earl – If you want to use W3 Total Cache’s page cache, but want to whitelist the registration and activation pages, you should be able to do that within W3TC.

This is an old guide that I found on Google to show you how to whitelist pages in W3TC:
https://www.itsupportguides.com/wordpress/w3-total-cache-how-to-exclude-posts-and-pages/

For your needs, whitelist the /register/ and /activate/ page slugs or whatever you have those slugs set to in BuddyPress.
