BuddyPress.org

I am also using BBpress so if there is some issue there, let me know.

Website is joshinshaker.com – Sorry it’s slow, its on a test server.

When I go to users > Profile Fields, there is the field Name 3 times. How do I delete this?

OMG, after hours of tracking the bbpress code I’ve finally found the culprit

The MOST stupid thing I’ve seen ever and is not even fault of Buddypress but BBpress!!!!

For some reason, some illuminated coder decided that the site should be “indexable” in order to admit both BuddyPress notifications or mentions.

So essentially I had the

“Discourage search engines from indexing”, ticked off…

I cry everytime

Disabled just buddypress leaving bbpress enabled and tried bbpress notifications (on reply) and worked flawlessly…

I’m missing something, maybe buddypress activity db has been corrupted? Any way to turn on max debug on buddypress?

By the way, I’ve run all 4 tasks in the Tools section

(Also I’m running on a custom VPS, so no issues possible with email limitations)

Removed both buddypress and bbpress folders and redownload them, and nothing

Also I’ve noticed that email notifications are not working for any users, although other plugins notificacions like Gamipress work right.

But the weirdest thing is that reply notices are working right (in-site not email ones)

Checking buddypress code, I see that there is a filter that controls this:

function bp_activity_do_mentions() {

        /**
         * Filters whether or not mentions are enabled.
         *
         * @since 1.8.0
         *
         * @param bool $enabled True to enable mentions, false to disable.
         */
        return (bool) apply_filters( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', true );
}

But bp_activity_do_mentions has not been modified anywhere in the code (I’m using core default twenty twenty + just buddypress and bbpress)

I’ve also tested the function bp_activity_do_mentions() in the functions.php and it is returning true.

This is incredibly weird.

I’ve installed a test site with just Buddypress + BBpress and did a mention and it worked fine.

Then in the site where mentions are not working, I have disabled ALL plugins and put Twenty Twenty theme and tried again, and it doesnt work 🙁

I have checked the apache2 error log and nothing there
Also activated the WP_DEBUG but nothing…

Mindblowing.
It is like the at_mention hook is not being fired…
The email notification for mentions is not firing either

What could I be missing here?
