BuddyPress.org

my page load time is 5.49s (pagespeed Grade 83%, Yslow grade 73%)
not sure if this is a good result.
I am also looking for methods to improve pagespeed

Nor is mine
WordPress 4.0 running Cosmic Buddy theme
BuddyPress 2.1
bbPress Version 2.5.4
http://lifeplusstyle.com/site/

Registration, signup, Activate don’t work. Takes me to a blank page http://lifeplusstyle.com/site/register/

Neither does the vast majority of the drop-downs in the upper right corner; also takes me to a blank pages.

I have tried testing in several themes including Twenty-Twelve and Twenty-Fourteen. The same issues are present using these themes too.

Hi there,

Digging a bit I found this topic that describes my problem as well.

Could you please inform me how to solve the issue with the time difference between bbpress and buddy press?

Buddypress: 2.0.3
Wordpress: 4.0
BBPress: 2.5.4
Theme: Twenty Fourteen

Regards

FWIW – I just downgraded from PHP 5.5 to PHP 5.4 and it works again. Not sure what is causing the incompatibility however, other than the errors posted above.

@petervandoorn

I also have this problem running WordPress 3.9.1, BuddyPress 2.0.1 and BBPress 2.5.4. It’s only been the case since I moved over to BBPress for forums.

I’m happy to help anyone who’s trying to fix this apparent bug.

These other threads appear to be relevant:

Novice here… this should be fun. (July 2014)

I got someone to import users in to my sweetdate (2.6.1)/buddypress (2.5.4) site. The users are there in the WordPress users, but not in the Buddypress site. They don’t even show up in the Pending Activation. I can see them in the SQL Database.

How can I migrate them in to the Buddypress members, searchable, database.

Thanks in advance.

As per your original post you are using bbPress v2.5.4, the bb_forums table are part of the legacy BuddyPress Group Forums/bbPress v1.x Forums.

bbPress 2.x no longer uses these tables, all of bbPress 2.x forums, topics and replies are in the wp_posts table as custom post types.

If you look in the bbPress Forums panel and hover your mouse over or edit one of the forums you will see the post ID in the URL, you will find that (educated guessing here) that most of your forums have a six digit ID’s?

Each of those ID’s should correspond to the bbPress 2.x Forum attached to each BuddyPress Group Forum as you see in your wp_groups_groupmeta table.

So if you look in the wp_groups_groupmeta table at your group ID 26 and that 127650 value does NOT match the bbPress forum ID you expect it should match.

Grab the correct bbPress forum ID and write down the current ID if you need to revert, bakcup your database etc etc) then update that value and I think you should be sorted.

Ah I just read the last paragraph (I should do that from now on, sorry!)

Can you look at your error logs?

It prob is using a new php.ini file, which by default 5.4 doesn’t allow <? ?> you have to use <?php ?>, that’s something it could be.

honestly without looking at your error logs its a best guess.

Your website is loading here. This might be something to do with your browser cache, or DNS resolver (perhaps they MIGRATED you to another server with php 5.4 on it? most likely!!)

You can follow this tutorial to set your DNS to google’s servers which is guaranteed to be faster than your ISP:

Hi @keiser-media @celticdancer,

The usual answer in this case is: these notice are only notice. A kind of weather report: all hear and read about, but who cares ?

If you see the notice on a production site, deactiveate the debug define in wp-config.

Don’t be afraid by “strict standards” messages. It’s probably because you use PHP 5.4.x or higher. These versions are a little bugy actually. And most shared server are yet under 5.3.x

PS: i encounter the same problem (php 5.4.12) 😀

Hi there !

I was exposed to the same issue today, with BP 1.7.2 and WP 3.5.2.

Solved by checking the php version of the site, the php version should be 5.4 ( use the function <? phpinfo(); ?> to check that.

Other thing, like have said @baskers, ensure you have only lower caps in your url.

Hope my reply would help someone else ! 🙂

maybe you can also try to connect to i18n svn
https://i18n.trac.buddypress.org/browser?order=name

Install Tortoise and use same credentials as here to connect for upload.

Aside, the id_ID wasn’t updated since 1.5.4 on SVN. Perhaps try to contact the latest author @sofyand

@mercime, can you give some better/other advice please ?

@darrylnuyda
I am not certain but it sounds like a php 5.4+ error.
Try adding this code to your themes functions.php between the opening and closing php tags:
`
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE);
`
I am not saying this is a fix but it seemed to help me on several installations. Please still supply the info @mercime requested in case there is a better solution.

@shanebp
Sorry I accidently forgot to deactivate one plugin and once I did the below error went away

Also after you press the block button the text “block” turns into “error!”

The plugin that caused the error was a modified version of the friends-only-activity-stream plugin so now its gone. Is there a way to turn those debug messages on and off?
I’m using Windows 7, XAMPP PHP 5.4.7, FF 12, and Chrome.
Hope this helps.

The error occurs in PHP 5.4+
This is not really a fix but it should stop the error. Add it to your active themes functions.php
`
/* Stop errors if any */
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE);
/* End stop Errors */
`

Is this a new installation? PHP version 5.3 or 5.4? Saw this once due to plugin conflict. Have you tried deactivating plugins except BuddyPress? What theme are you using?

Which version of PHP are you using on the server? It looks like others have experienced similar issues with php 5.4: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4191
