Have you read the article that was linked by @danbp?
Do you have .htaccess file in the same diretory where you installed WordPress?
If not, create it with this content:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Latest WordPress itself has issues on PHP 7.1, and while testing BuddyPress we allow failures on PHP 7.1 as well.
So in general BuddyPress should work on PHP 7.1, but no one spent extra attention on testing there everything and fix if there are any issues.
If the error persists only when learndash integration is activated, you should contact that plugin authors for support (if they provide one). As it’s seems not a BuddyPress issue, and not newly BP 2.8 version issue.
As I don’t know that integration plugin, I can’t help.
You will need to integrate Multi Vendor plugin into BuddyPress.
That means create specific profile pages (there is an article in BuddyPress Codex), modify BuddyPress templates in your child theme (same – see articles in Codex).
Perhaps, upon user registration you should auto-join them to all public groups. And modify templates in your child theme to hide JOIN / LEAVE buttons for public groups.
@danbp already replied you with a proper advice. You should know CSS, you can also modify the HTML structure of the /buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php file (it should be in your theme).
First thing to try in this case – disable plugins one by one and check whether it affects the uploading.
Thus you will nail plugin that generates this issue.
And no, there is nothing to do with Forums in my code, as in your initial post you wrote this:
Is there a way to send a notification email EVERY time there is an update, regardless of whether or not they have been mentioned or have liked the post.
So my code will send an email (but you will need to write down its subject and message and get a user email to send to) on every activity added to Activity directory. If this is not what you want – you will need to filter it out properly and modify as you see fit.
I gave you the direction, not the final working solution for your seems changeable requirements.
1) find or create a buddypress/activity/post-form.php file in your theme
2) find in that file a textarea with id="whats-new" and add maxlength="143" to its attributes so it will become something like this: <textarea class="bp-suggestions" maxlength="143" name="whats-new" id="whats-new" cols="50" rows="10"....
3) save and done.
It will limit globally, though. If only in groups (not modifiying activity directory and profiles) – wrap it in a p_is_group() like this <textarea class="bp-suggestions" <?php echo bp_is_group() ? 'maxlength="143"' : '';?> name="whats-new" id="whats-new" cols="50" rows="10"....
Reason: BuddyPress activated and is working on subsite 1, where all of its tables created. Subsite 2 is completely independent site with even own list of users.
To fix this: you will need to write quite heavy bridge, that will query the subsite 1 and asks each time whether user has there what you need on subsite 2.
3) In 1) you created and it’s also written how to store that data, I suggest using usermeta (update_user_meta()). You should store not the teachers names, but their ids in metas.
4) Now you need to display this info in user profile.
Investigate wp-content/plugins/buddypress/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php file, you will see there several hooks that may be useful for you. There you will just echo what you need.
Example: get_user_by('id', get_user_meta(bp_displayed_user_id(), 'teacher_id'))->display_name; or similar using BuddyPress functions.
Yes, you can use a hook in a function bp_activity_add() called the same.
/**
* Fires at the end of the execution of adding a new activity item, before returning the new activity item ID.
*
* @since 1.1.0
*
* @param array $r Array of parsed arguments for the activity item being added.
*/
do_action( 'bp_activity_add', $r );
So you should write something like this:
add_action( 'bp_activity_add', function( $arguments ) {
// Put in wp_mail() function all your params, see https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_mail/
wp_mail($to, $subject, $message);
} );
Currently there is no such plugin. Introducing this feature is quite heavy for the server, so it’s more like a custom solution, ideally with websockets.
We use heartbeat functionality, that gives ability to show a notification about new activity records, but there are no plans to actually update old records due to lots of technical issues and time availability (all BuddyPress core devs are volunteers).
