Seems like the plugin is abandoned too, which is a shame, it’s not been out that long. One option would be to for this plugin and add the features yourself I suppose?
Presumably this is referring to the BuddyPress Group Email Subscription plugin? Have you tried rasing this as a feature request on that plugins forums?
Another way is to Overload the activity-loop page in BuuddyPress, this basciall does what the plugins do, but without a plugin. You can take the default page from the plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php and change the way the activity filters work for your site. It’s a bit more advanced but there’s plenty of forum posts about doing it.
I had a response from wp.org, they will not discuss plugins that have been closed. I guess one option is to create a complete clone of this plugin, with identical settings, and use that instead. It does mean that all 7,000 current users will be blissfully unaware of the solution unless they go looking though, so not ideal.
You should be able to do that, with a filter to only display the What’s new box if the logged in user name is the same as the displayed user name. by overloading the activity/post-form.php file.
Hi Steve, just so you know, I’ve upissued BP Profile Shortcodes Extra today with a new Profile Lists options to create lists of suggested friends and groups, those might help with your dashboard? Let me know if you think there are other features to add.
On my test server, changing the permalink the way you did seems to break the email process for signups permanently, I’m not able to recover from it. I’m thinking a workaround might be to install a different email system, like an SMTP plugin, but right now that’s a long shot.
How did you change the link to the registration page? Presumably this is what caused that issue. I’ve not had to do that myself so am unaware of what issues it may cause.
Regarding some users not getting activation emails. Are you using the default wordpress email address (wordpress@yoursite.com) some mail providers block these default emails and you can change the default email to something mre specific to your site using a plugin such as CB Change Mail Sender.
What I’m thinking is that you’ve somehow messed up your WP users database table. I suggest using a dbase clean up plugin such we WP Sweep to see if that fixes it.
Look for the table ending in _users, you should be able to browse it, go to the bottom of the table and see if there are users with an activation key recorded.
