In reply to: in Activation link the variable “key” is missing
congratulations! you’r a member
This message doesn’t exist in BuddyPress. Are you using any custom code snippets in
wp-content/mu-pluginsorwp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php?In reply to: Users are asked for ActivationPlease read the second point in this thread:
In reply to: Unlisted members after registration on MUUsers only show up in the members loop if their last activity timestamp is recorded into the database. A plugin can also manipulate the members loop to exclude certain members based on a set of parameters.
I’d say deactivate any plugin that might be affecting activity or members, then try to login as that user to see if they are shown in the Members directory.
In reply to: in Activation link the variable “key” is missingAre you using any plugins that might be causing a conflict with the registration and activation process?
In reply to: Problem: Cropping image doesnt work in profile!It’s probably something to do with your theme’s CSS if I had to guess.
Try switching temporarily to one of the WordPress default themes to see if it works. If it does, can you list your theme? Perhaps we can hardcode some CSS rules so the cropping box is correctly-sized.
In reply to: Private Message Button Not Working Right?Thanks for the report and suggested fix, @vesterde.
I’ve linked to this thread in this ticket – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7908
In reply to: Users can’t register and they don’t show upIt’s a problem with your theme.
You need to alter the
/members/activate.phptemplate in your theme. The template might be named/registration/activate.phpas well:

Read the second point in the following thread for a fix:
@radzio125 – Thanks for the report.
It appears you might need to update your PHP install to use the latest version of
ICU. Here’s a similar issue for CakePHP:
https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/issues/9697
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42955218/cakephp-3-transliterator-transliterate-php-warning-on-clean-installationAs a workaround, if you use regular latin characters for your attachment filenames, it should work.
In reply to: Alternate unique identifier instead of email?I don’t think that would work. WordPress only allows one email address to be tied to a user account.
You could probably create a secondary profile field or user marker for additional email addresses, which you could then tie to email communications. Would be a lot of work to add all that custom code to fire those secondary emails though.
If I were a user wanting multiple accounts to use the same email address, I would just use email aliases to create new accounts. This can easily be done with GMail (
ray+user1@gmail.com,ray+user2@gmail.com). Then all email communications would be received atray@gmail.com.In reply to: Nouveau leaves html tag in groups descriptionWhat happens with the registration emails? This sounds like a different issue than what is described with the Nouveau frontend templates.Sorry, I’m not fully awake yet. Disregard!
In reply to: Buddypress, Analytics & GDPRI’m not an expert on GDPR, but what are other large sites like Twitter doing about this? Twitter’s user handle is approximately the same as BP’s username.
If you want BuddyPress to use something else for the profile URL, you can set the username in the
user_nicenameDB field and BuddyPress will use that for the user profile URL.Keep in mind that this might break whatever custom configurations you might have on your install.
If you’d rather not mess with altering the data in the user DB columns, you can also potentially filter
'bp_core_get_user_domain'and'bp_core_set_uri_globals_member_slug'.View this ticket for more info:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6694If you wanted to use a plugin to change the profile URL to use the user ID, you can try using a plugin like this (untested):

In reply to: Forum subscribe isuue@shanebp – I saw that a couple of your forum posts in this thread were in the spam filter. I just approved your latest post.
If I remember correctly, tabs do not get added to the Members Directory by default when you register a member type.
If you do see a tab, it’s because the site probably added it via custom code.
In reply to: problem with mentions–adminThe strings “admin” and “firstname-lastname” are no present in the respective user profiles. Those phrases ONLY exist as the @-mention name that appears in the profile page across from the picture.
You kind of answered your own question.
The at-mention name uses the
user_nicenamefield from thewp_usersdatabase table. This can differ from the display name. Theuser_nicenameinfo also isn’t exposed in the WordPress admin dashboard, which is why you might be confused.If a user registered manually on your site, this would be the
Usernamethat they enter on the registration page. If you imported a bunch of users from another system, check your database with a web app like phpMyAdmin or Adminer. You can also use a command-line tool like wp-cli to view the user fields:You can also try using a plugin like Edit Author Slug if you want the ability to edit the
user_nicenamefield, but use with caution (untested):Test in a local environment before deploying on your live site.
In reply to: confirmation emails are not sent for new usersIf you’ve already tried the solutions in this thread:
Then, here are a couple of other possible solutions:
1) Remove the “Reply-To” email address from BuddyPress emails.
By default, BuddyPress adds a “Reply-To” email header to each BuddyPress email containing the admin user’s email address.
I’m guessing email senders might have problems with this because the “From” email address and the “Reply-To” email address could use different domains. Email senders might think this is spammy and would reject the email. Just a guess. You’d have to look in your email logs to confirm.
Anyway, here’s a code snippet you can try in your theme’s
functions.phpor in wp-content/bp-custom.php:add_filter( 'bp_email_set_reply_to', function( $retval, $email_address ) { // Wipe out Reply-to email header if it matches the admin email address. if ( bp_get_option( 'admin_email' ) === $email_address ) { $retval = new BP_Email_Recipient( '' ); } return $retval; }, 10, 2 );2) Try setting a different “From” email address
If you are having problems sending any email on your WordPress install, you might have to set the “From” email address to one that contains your website domain.
There are a few plugins that can do this. Here are a couple:
3) Try using a WordPress email SMTP plugin
If all the above fail, try a SMTP email plugin:

Please let me know if either of the solutions work.
In reply to: Extending – Custom profile tabsSample code works fine for me.
Try trimming down your install by deactivating some plugins to see where there might be a conflict.
In reply to: Problems with the Buddypress version 3.0 and upwardsRegarding registration, read the first two issues in this thread:
And see if it applies to you.
The settings bug sounds like it is theme-related:
In reply to: Users can’t register and they don’t show upI then deleted the register page, created a new one, saved my permalinks…and it was working about a month ago when I tested it, but I just got an email yesterday from someone who had the activation link error ????
What is the “activation link error”?
Sounds like this isn’t related to the ticket that Venutius linked to on Trac.
Read through the first two issues of the following link and see if it sounds like your problem, particularly the second one:
In reply to: BuddyPress doesn’t sends confirmation MailAre you able to send other emails on your site?
If not, you might want to try a WordPress email SMTP plugin.
In reply to: Settings on profile not showingWe can only help if we can replicate the problem locally.
So far, I’ve been unable to duplicate this, which is why I ask you to switch your theme. If you don’t want to switch your theme, try changing your template pack to BP Legacy under “Settings > BuddyPress > Options” and see if your member settings page works again.
In reply to: Topic’it Mobile App plugin?Not sure who moved the topic, but I’ve just moved it to “Creating and Extending”.
In reply to: Can’t Post in Activity StreamThanks for the bug report.
I’ve created a ticket for this here – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7897
In the meantime, if you need this functionality working for whatever reason, you can change your template pack to BP Legacy under “Settings > BuddyPress > Options”.

In reply to: Some activity stream issuesThanks for the report.
This looks to be the same as this issue – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/cant-post-in-activity-stream/
