BuddyPress.org

Hi

Thank you for responding.
I tried a few other themes including twentythirteen & Mesocolumn – no difference.
Then today I disabled all plugins except buddypress & bbforum.

Observation:
#1. The mentioned links worked.
#2. I then first activated a number of security plugins + Hyper cache plugin. Problem back, of page not found, until I deactivated Hyper cache.

This was solved by reading this article => http://www.buddyboss.com/buddypress-speed-and-performance/ & doing this:

By default this plugin will cache all of your site’s pages, including your BuddyPress-specific content like activity posts and forum posts. This is not good, as your BuddyPress content is constantly updated and needs to remain fresh. To fix it add the following lines into “URI to reject” in the “Filters” settings panel of Hyper Cache:

/forums/
/groups/
/members/
/activity/
/blogs/
/messages/
/register/
/activate/

… I think current plugin terminology is “Exact URIs to bypass” & “(Starting with) URIs to bypass”, which I did and clearing the cache.

#3. As I continued activating, I discovered the used https://wordpress.org/plugins/404-to-start/ also causes if I try to go to my profile page or for example /members/user-x/, etc to re-direct to site front page, with no error.

I have to look into this later. The other plugins I had tried before caused some issues, so I was happy with this re-direct plugin.

Will report back, at least if I get a response from author or get a plugin not causing issues, someone could recommend one ;).

Thank you & regards.

Yes it is related to “Messages > Starred”. There is nothing wrong with the new feature. It’s this function that I found online that’s causing a conflict.

/* ——————————Start BP Post in profile code for function——————– */
function importSomething(){
return include_once ‘bp-custom.php’;
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘buddyboss_child_bp_nav_adder’ );
add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘profile_buddyboss_child_loop’ );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘members/single/plugins’ ) );

function buddyboss_child_bp_nav_adder() {
global $bp;
$post_count = count_user_posts_by_type( $bp->displayed_user->id );
bp_core_new_nav_item(
array(
‘name’ => sprintf( __( ‘Posts <span>%d</span>’, ‘my-poems’ ), $post_count ),
‘slug’ => ‘Articles’,
‘position’ => 250,
‘show_for_displayed_user’ => true,
‘screen_function’ => ‘buddyboss_child_list’,
‘item_css_id’ => ‘articles’,
‘default_subnav_slug’ => ‘public’
));
}
function buddyboss_child_list() {
add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘profile_buddyboss_child_loop’ );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘members/single/plugins’ ) );
}
/*——- This is end of the code for above function ———*/
function profile_buddyboss_child_loop() {
$myposts = get_posts( array(
‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
‘author’ => bp_displayed_user_id(),
‘post_type’ => ‘post’
));
if( ! empty($myposts) ) {
foreach($myposts as $post) {
setup_postdata( $post );
if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ):
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), ‘sidebar-smallthumbnew’ );
else :
$image[0] = “…/wp-content/themes/Starkers-Child-2/images/vidimage.jpg”;
endif;
echo ‘<li class=”sidebar mostpop post-‘ . $post->ID . ‘”><div id=”postimage”>ID) . ‘”></div><div id=”postinfo”>ID) . ‘”>’ . get_the_title($post->ID) . ‘</div>‘;
}
echo ‘‘;
wp_reset_postdata();
} else { ?>
<div class=”info” id=”message”>
<p><?php bp_displayed_user_fullname(); ?> has No posts.</p>
</div>
<?php }
}
/* This is end of the code for above function */
remove_filter(‘bp_setup_nav’,”);
function count_user_posts_by_type( $userid, $post_type = ‘post’ ) {
global $wpdb;
$where = get_posts_by_author_sql( $post_type, true, $userid, true);
$count = $wpdb->get_var( “SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->posts $where” );
return apply_filters( ‘get_usernumposts’, $count, $userid );
}
/* ——————————This is end of the code for post in profile above function——————– */

It adds a new button on the user activity page and when the Message-Starred button is clicked it takes the user the lists of post page that the above function creates. How can I stop that fro happening. I really want to keep the starred message function and I don’t want to lose the lists of WordPress post in the user Activity page.

thank you @mercime I did try the 2015 theme after deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress, and same issue. Yes I can upload images and see thumbnails with 2015 theme and with my BuddyBoss theme. I still have the problem with profile images not working. I also have a new issue where private messages no longer work from inside BuddyPress. I am hosted with inmotion.

Hi thanks for your reply. I am using a clean install. The joomla and WP sites are totally unrelated as they are installed on separate DB’s. This was a single install.

It isnt a buddyboss issue as the issue happens without Buddyboss being activated.

Hey @danbp,

Thanks for the tip but in the meantime I went and bought Buddyboss Wall and that seems to be doing the job perfectly.

I think I was having trouble as I am using a completely blanked WP theme with everything stripped so I can style everything to my liking. But the css structure of both WP & BP can get very confusing at times 😉

Okay, so I think I have a working resolve. Using buddyboss theme, I have removed the below code.

<li id="activity-all"><a>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'The public activity for everyone on this site.', 'buddyboss-mobile' ); ?>"><?php printf( __( 'All Members <span>%s</span>', 'buddyboss-mobile' ), bp_get_total_member_count() ); ?></a></li>

and selected

<li class="selected" id="activity-mentions"><a>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Activity that I have been mentioned in.', 'buddyboss-mobile' ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Mentions', 'buddyboss-mobile' ); ?><?php if ( bp_get_total_mention_count_for_user( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ) : ?> <strong><span><?php printf( _nx( '%s new', '%s new', bp_get_total_mention_count_for_user( bp_loggedin_user_id() ), 'Number of new activity mentions', 'buddyboss-mobile' ), bp_get_total_mention_count_for_user( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ); ?></span></strong><?php endif; ?></a></li>

the main feature being class=”selected” at the beginning to auto select this tab. So even if the user has no friends, then this Tab will still be available, making the All Members updates not viewable.

lets see how this goes…..

Went down to zero plugins, except BuddyPress. Changed to the BuddyBoss parent theme and Twenty Fifteen.

Theme is BuddyBoss 4.1.5.

Plugins, I have stripped down to the bare minimum, to keep my site somewhat functional (all are updated to latest version):
Akismet
bbPress
BuddyBoss Media
BuddyBoss Wall
BuddyPress
BubbyPress Captcha
BuddyPress Security Check
iframe
Jetpack
Jetpack Only For Admins
Remove Dashboard Access

I even deactivated most of these to strip it down even more and created a new account. Still having the issue.

I am using BuddyBoss 1.0.5 – I am pretty sure these social fields are included in the new release.

I’ll address the request to them.

Thanks

ah yah!
my mistake – this is a BuddyBoss theme issue.

many thanks @danbp

Hi @henrywright,

I am using buddyboss (child theme), tested it with default wp theme and buddyboss parent.

I also found this thread https://buddypress.org/support/topic/forum-in-private-groups/ started a few weeks ago, and I think @melle328 is right, this happens if the group is first set as public and later changed to private or as in my case- group forum is set to public first and then chosen as the private’s group forum.

So far it seems that if users create a group and a forum and later change their settings- the activity privacy is not updated. I keep testing different options as we speak, so I find something new, I will post it too.

@buddyboss

but the tab to see all of their Likes is only available to them for privacy reasons.

In BP-buddyboss river, everyone can see what I have liked – so it is not private. Default BP does allow to see other users’ Favorits in the Favorit tab in Profile page – why does Buddyboss kills this? At least site admin should be able to turn it on or off.

Wall does not have every FB feature,

buddypress-activity-plus allows to post link, video etc quite nicely and is thus more user-friendly than the premium Wall plugin, imho. There is also a plugin by Brajesh that allow front-end blog posting via BP

Buddyboss is never meant to load every plugin but if a chosen few are bundled, it will be really good rather than re-inventing wheels at premium plugins, features of which are already available in the WP-BP repo. If users like us see thay they are well integrated into the Buddyboss look and feel there can be more sales of the Buddyboss theme actually.

We may make a spam solution at some point in time. This is a tricky one. Every solution you make only works for a bit, then the spammers figure out your tactic and update

Let wp com users at least post to pre-sales and/or free discussion forum. You can do this via jetpack
