It’s most likely a WordPress issue.

Go to the WordPress admin dashboard and create or edit a post and attempt to paste your Medium link there. If it also doesn’t work, then it’s a WordPress problem.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 4 months ago]

The problem is the Activity component only allows certain elements to be shown in the activity stream.

By default, <ol> and <li> are not among those whitelisted elements.

You can override this behavior with the following code snippet in your theme’s functions.php file or via wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:

// Allow list-item element through
add_filter( 'bp_activity_allowed_tags', function( $retval ) {
	$retval['ul'] = $retval['ol'] = $retval['li'] = array();
	return $retval;
} );

I’ve also opened a ticket about this here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7538

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 4 months ago]

This is fixed in the development branch of 2.8.

In the meantime, you can manually apply the following fix until 2.8.3 is released:

You should post this on the bbPress forums:
https://bbpress.org/forums

This is the BuddyPress forums.

It’s probably because you are using a Facebook login plugin, which would bypass any activation process (I’m guessing).

Graphene Mobile Neo is a premium addon so it is hard for us to test it. What happens when you disable that addon? Does the uploader work? If not, you’ll have to look into debugging iOS Safari.

If you can duplicate this issue on a free theme, let us know.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 4 months ago]

Can you try changing your theme to something like Twenty Seventeen?

Sometimes the current theme has CSS that conflicts with BuddyPress functionality.

What theme are you using?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 4 months ago]

Copy the code from here:
https://pastebin.com/raw/X6Nc0Qds

Into /buddypress/bp-core/css/avatar.min.css.

The user tested this on iPhone 6S, iPad Mini and iPad Air with success.

I believe the last successful version was BP 2.7.2, but the CSS I linked to should account for that.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 5 months ago]

@ketzita – Can you copy avatar.css to avatar.min.css and see if that fixes the issue?

The patch above only works on development installs since those installs only look for the avatar.css file. Production installs looks for the avatar.min.css file.

One user has confirmed that this works.

If you are using SMTP, you might want to try changing the port from 25 to 587 or whatever the alternative port is if your email provider supports an alternative.

Also, this is probably very relevant:

The problem is BuddyPress initially records the activity item from whatever protocol that the site is running in.

So let’s say I’m posting at http://example.com, BuddyPress would record any uploaded content using http.

It sounds like you have moved to https, so these older activity items would still use http. I would probably recommend forcing your site to always resolve to https, then future activity items should always use https.

As for older content, you would need to filter the activity content and replace older http instances with https.

This is a bbPress bug, which is scheduled to be fixed in bbPress v2.6.

See https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2690.

In the meantime, manually add the following fix:

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 5 months ago]

Just a guess, but it sounds like you have a plugin that is modifying the user query somewhere.

Try to check the list of plugins that you have that might be altering the user query.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 5 months ago]

Download and unzip a fresh version of BuddyPress to wp-content/plugins/buddypress to ensure that you have all files and not a corrupted install.

If you are using a caching plugin, you would also have to purge your cache. You shouldn’t cache the registration or activation pages anyway.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 5 months ago]

I’ve noticed similar things myself.

Can you see if the following helps?

Add this code-snippet to wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file?

remove_filter( 'bp_email_get_property', 'bp_core_deprecated_email_filters', 20, 4 );

remove_action( 'bp_send_email_success', 'bp_core_deprecated_email_actions', 20, 2 );

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 5 months ago]

You’ll want to look at our template hierarchy codex page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/
https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/#single-member-pages

Then, you could customize the layout of your member profile pages by adding a sidebar or whatever only on member profile pages.

Good that the iOS file browser pops up now. Sorry to hear that uploading still doesn’t work though, will need at least another user to verify this.

I don’t have an iOS device so I cannot test this functionality I’m afraid.

What version of iOS are you using? If you’re on an older version, try and upgrade?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 5 months ago]

Here’s avatar.css that’s been patched up:
https://pastebin.com/raw/X6Nc0Qds

If your site doesn’t use RTL, then you just need avatar.css.

Please replace /buddypress/bp-core/css/avatar.css with this file and retry in iOS. Remember to purge your browser cache.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 5 months ago]

@ketzita – Thanks for testing.

Can you try purging your browser cache in iOS Safari? Then, try again?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 6 months ago]

Hi @elijeh,

Can you try the following fix?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7416/7416.01.patch

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 6 months ago]

View your group memberships under your profile’s Groups page.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 6 months ago]

You could probably run a cronjob to remove various activity items and private message threads if they’re older than a certain interval.

Of course, this would need to be custom-developed.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 6 months ago]

If you’re talking about this specific instance where a user has registered a site during registration:

Must change BLOG_URL and user-site.url from http to https

Then, I’ve added a fix for this here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7508/7508.01.patch

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 6 months ago]

You should use HTTPS throughout your site if you want to force the email to use SSL links.

Or force HTTPS on individual pages like the registration page so activation email links will use SSL.

The other alternative is filtering the email tokens to use HTTPS:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.8.2/src/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php#L3120

If you’re a WordPress developer, hook on to the 'bp_after_send_email_parse_args' filter and do checks against the 'tokens' array key.

For more info on the 'bp_after_X_parse_args' filter, see:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/using-bp_parse_args-to-filter-buddypress-template-loops/

[@r-a-y Keymaster 9 years, 6 months ago]

This is not a BuddyPress problem; this is a bbPress problem, which is scheduled to be fixed in bbPress 2.6.

See:
