Thanks for all the suggestions – really appreciate it. In the meantime, the developer also emailed me with a solution.

Not sure how to proceed just yet. Will keep you posted.
thanks again,

I reverted to the default theme and deactivated plugins one by one and it did not fix the problem. I’m pretty sure the modifications broke the feature as well. And since the developer that last worked on it is MIA, I suspect he knows this.

Can anyone just go in and check the members-loop-php code? At this point I would be happy to overwrite all customizations. I just need it fixed.

I’m not technical that is why I thought reinstalling buddypress back to all default settings would be a solution – but I can’t remove members in the process.

Please advise.

I have tried to contact the BP developer multiple times – no response. I tested all plugins and the theme and the error did not resolve so I’m pretty sure the error in the BuddyPress.

The host has advised the site is not throwing any errors. Not sure how to proceed. Wondering if I should just reinstall BuddyPress, import members and start again. Any concerns or advise?

In addition to the sort function not working, it seems sending messages and inviting members to groups is broken as well. See attached screen shots – basically, when typing the member name, the system does not generate a selection of member names to choose from.

I fear that my BP developer may have broken something during the last customization. Is there a way for me to easily figure out where the problem is or should I reinstall BuddyPress?

thanks in advance,
taye

I don’t know where I would be without bpHelp! Thank you!

Thanks – I sent @shanebp an email. Hopefully he is available. Thanks for the help!
Have a great day,

ok – i will check out the jobs board. Are you for hire Henry? taye@digz.ca

[@tayenewm Participant 11 years, 4 months ago]

But wouldn’t I run into the same problem with every theme update? I don’t know code and don’t like diddling in it. Maybe I need to just hire a developer to resolve all my little issues. Does BuddyPress offer dev services? Where do I go to sign up? thanks

can I add this code to my Theme CSS code to avoid changing the core code or having to redo with all updates?

[@tayenewm Participant 11 years, 4 months ago]

That process seems beyond me and very long (and I cannot find the /plugins/buddypress/bp-languages folder) I just want to change the “Private Message” button label. Can I access/change it quickly like this:
1. access buddypress/bp-messages/bp-messages-template.php
2. change the ‘link text’ to the new label name in this block of code?

function bp_get_send_message_button() {
// Note: ‘bp_get_send_message_button’ is a legacy filter. Use
// ‘bp_get_send_message_button_args’ instead. See #4536
return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_send_message_button’,
bp_get_button( apply_filters( ‘bp_get_send_message_button_args’, array(
‘id’ => ‘private_message’,
‘component’ => ‘messages’,
‘must_be_logged_in’ => true,
‘block_self’ => true,
‘wrapper_id’ => ‘send-private-message’,
‘link_href’ => bp_get_send_private_message_link(),
‘link_title’ => __( ‘Send a private message to this user.’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘link_text’ => __( ‘Private Message’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘link_class’ => ‘send-message’,
) ) )
