The failure to find buddypress.min.css is a clue.

What is pagespeed.ce ?
Ask your hosting provider if you aren’t sure.
It might be a cacheing plugin.
Or maybe a CDN.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

The colors come from your WP theme – try switching to a WP theme like 2019 to see the difference.

What exactly was the fatal error?
Check the error.log on your server.
Otherwise, sharing just a generic message makes it pretty much impossible to make suggestions.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

That folder will not exist in ftp.

Did you assign a page to the Members component?

wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress > Pages

Assign a page to each item shown on that screen. You can create a page and assign it – but leave the page blank.

Did you try a fresh save of your permalinks?

wp-admin > Settings > Permalinks
Select Post Name under Common Settings
Then click Save – even if you did not change anything.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

What do you expect to see in the activity stream?

They will not show up in the members loop until they have logged in at least once.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

Please use the code button when posting code.

Did you look at the class? Did you see the hooks in the class?

You don’t add the hook, you use the hook – do_action.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

Another plugin is the path of least resistance if you don’t know how to code, don’t want to learn and don’t have a developer.

Adding the lost-password link is easy.
Just use one of the action hooks in the class for that widget.
I suggest you use this hook: do_action( 'bp_login_widget_form' );
For the hook context, see this file:
buddypress\bp-core\classes\class-bp-core-login-widget.php

If you don’t know how to code, share the hook info with your developer.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

Do you still want to use private messaging?
If not, simply turn off the Messaging component in wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

Try deleting the wpengine cache and turning the settings ‘down’ as much as possible – they are quite aggressive about caching, which is great for WP but can cause issues with BP.

Try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2019 to confirm that the issue is not specific to woffice.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

Please use the code button when posting code.

Those are the 2 things you can do.
The fact that you are getting fatal errors means that you are doing something wrong.
Therefore you should get some help from your support team.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

> adding the custom file to my site via SSH caused a fatal error and crash

Then you did something wrong.

> but the list would not update

What list ?

If you are struggling to add a single file or a line of code to your site, then you should get your sysadmin to help you.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

Did you try disabling BP email ?

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

I’ve never heard of that specific issue re BP + s2 members.

If you deactivate s2 Members, does the issue persist?
If you switch momentarily to a WP theme like 2019, does the issue persist?

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

> (no issue with twenty nineteen)

Then it is obviously an issue with the Themo theme.
Does their theme include BuddyPress templates?
Does their theme enqueue javascript or minify javascript?

Cropping issues are usually due to an absence or conflict re javascript.

Until somebody with experience with that theme sees your post, it is very unlikely that any solutions will be found here.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

There is no role argument. And recipients takes an array.

messages_new_message

Try:

    $recipients = array( $user_id );

    $args = array(
        'sender_id' => 1,
        'thread_id' => false,
        'recipients' => $recipients,
        'subject' => 'Hello new user',
        'content' => 'Welcome to the site',
        'date_sent' => bp_core_current_time()
    );

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

Please use the code button when posting code.

Are you using a minify javascript plugin? Or similar setting for wpengine?
If so, please try turning it off.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

You could put it in your theme > functions.php
Or in bp-custom.php

bp-custom.php

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

The fastest and simplest solution would be to write your own widget.
Then you have complete control.
I suggest you create a plugin which calls a class that is a clone of the existing widget.
Change the names and make your custom calls.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

> … then why would BuddyPress not be the issue?

I’m saying that it is unlikely – not impossible.
Remember that plugins usually include hooks that other code or plugins or themes can use to inject code, behaviours etc.
So BP may be the issue. Or the issue may only manifest with BP.

As I said, I’ve never seen this issue before.
I’m not going to buy the Eduma theme so I can test with it.
You are not my customer. You are a person having an issue with an open source codebase.
I am a volunteer and curious about your issue and willing to make suggestions about narrowing down the cause in the hope of clearing identifying a bug.
Since you do not want to proceed, I wish you all the best with your project.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

also – have you tried disabling BP Email ?

Emails will then be sent via the WP Email code.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

Is it just the activation email that is not sending?
Or all BP emails, including things like @mentions ?

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

Bizarre… I’ve never seen a similar report.
You’ll need to take some big swings at this.
Try deactivating everything but BuddyPress and use a WP theme like 2019.
Then start activating plugins one at a time and testing for the issue.

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

It is very highly unlikely that the issue stems from BuddyPress.
BuddyPress does not touch comments on posts in wp-admin.
We are trying to help you narrow down possible causes.
Did you try deactivating BuddyPress and then test for the issue again?

[@shanebp Moderator 7 years, 5 months ago]

That url is Not Found.

To rule out a theme issue – did you try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2019?

Are you using any translation plugins? Try turning them off.
