BuddyPress.org

Hi everyone,
I think I found the conflict which I mentioned earlier … in the file “wp-content \ plugins \ buddypress \ bp-groups \ bp-groups-functions.php” the bp-nouveau template calls the function “bp_groups_get_group_types ()” , which has been modified in the new realization (BP7.0.0) and the condition was added:

`if ( ! isset( $args[‘code’] ) || true !== $args[‘code’] ) {
$types = bp_get_taxonomy_types( bp_get_group_type_tax_name(), $types );
}`

I’m dont know much about php but I think that this condition only show the taxonomies that have been created through the new release (BP7.0.0), leaving aside those created by the “BuddyPress Create Group Types” plugin. When deleting this condition, the opposite happens … it shows the types created by the pluging but forgets those created by the release (BP7.0.0) …
I am about to launch a project created with buddypress and this functionality is vital for me… so I have to make a decision whether to use the plugin (with the risk that in the long run I will not be able to use it) or use the default function of the new one release … I don’t know if you could guide me to make the decision. Thank you for your great work and your attention. My best wishes

Re: Member Directory & Buddypress “Recently Online Members” widget stuck

Hello Mathieu,

sorry I have to come back to you about this problem. After you helped identify a Java Script error on the membership directory page (see above), I was meanwhile able to trace it back to the CAOS Google Analytics optimizer plugin. Disabling it (not critically needed) fixed the java error (no more errors in the console on the membership directory page) – but the member directory and widget remain “stuck” (do not update). The myCred team also fixed an issue in their plugin update done at the same time, but it turns out also no having an effect on this critical Buddypress function.

I recall you said you tested WP 5.6 and BP 7.0 and could not replicate the issue.

However, due to the BP widget being stuck, we also enabled another widget to augment showing currently online members (part of the GD BP Toolbox Suite – https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox/ – which we use extensively).

This GD widget works, and shows online members (albeit fewer and not as nice as the BP widget, and just a few active within the last few minutes) – while the BP widget does not work at all anymore.

I think both GD and BP widgets access the same core information (users/members online) – so it seems logical to me, that the problem must lie within BuddyPress (and the 7.0 update), if its widget and member directory is not working (“stuck” with myself at the top at the state of a week ago when the 7.0 update was performed, by me as admin)?

If you have any other idea how to go about it, my volunteer colleages and myself in the admin team at Scaffies would greatly appreciate your input.

Buddypress is a substantial part of our community website, and access to the member directory is obviously important; the BP “recently online” widget prominently displayed on our internal front page is very popular within in the community, and it being stuck for a week now is a downer for the members. That is why we are staying on top of it to get it resolved.

Thanks again for all your time and help,
Kerrie

Thank @vapvarun and @imat for answer me 🙂
Sorry for my explanation…i did´t explain case clearly…The WordPress admin area works perfect for me…my problems come from the public-facing…When one user want to create a new group, this starts a group creation steps (group name and Description, Settings,Image); On the “step 2″(Settings), the user have to select one group type with a group type selection option. Before the release (before BP v 7.0.0) it was working successful but after the release, these group type selection option doesn’t appear…They only appear when i uninstall the pluging “BuddyPress Create Group Types”, but then I am not able to use the filter´s and Tap´s options…

@alersn with BuddyPress Create Group Types you will have two group type menus in the group section at the backend one with plugin and 2nd with BP itself you can create group type with any of option for now. Except for the menu display, there is no functionality conflict.

Filter option and tab options at the group directory page at the front are coming with BuddyPress Create Group Types which is not included in the core feature with BP v7.0.0 at present.
We will try to add those features in BP core and remove the plugin from wp.org or work on the plugin to have better compatibility.

To order alphabetically user the bp_nouveau_get_members_filters.

function themename_bp_reorder_member_directory_filters( $filters, $context ) {
	if ( 'group' !== $context ) {

		$filters = array();

		if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) {
			$filters['alphabetical'] = __( 'Alphabetical', 'buddypress' );
		}

		$filters['active'] = __( 'Last Active', 'buddypress' );
		$filters['newest'] = __( 'Newest Registered', 'buddypress' );
	}

	return $filters;
}
add_filter( 'bp_nouveau_get_members_filters', 'themename_bp_reorder_member_directory_filters', 10, 2 );

Hi, thanks for answering me 🙂
I am trying to use “BuddyPress Create Group Types” with the new realise (BuddyPress 7.0.0) but i have a problem to display the group type option selection during group creation and when a group administrator is on the group settings page. The problem get solved when i uninstall the pluging (“BuddyPress Create Group Types”)…but then i am not able to add a group type filter on top group list page because of what i post mencione before…:(
Could be a conflict between “BuddyPress Create Group Types” and “BuddyPress 7.0.0”? or the conflict come from my theme (BuddyX)?
Thank for the atention

that seems a very old issue, might be theme specific which is using deprecated codes

@tanyagreaser as an alternative approach you can delete buddypress folder from wp-content/plugins path using ftp

@yaesew you can try to redefine cover image size which can match as per your theme cover dimension.
