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

Hi @alersn
Thanks for your feedback, for now we haven’t worked on a UI for the Groups/Members directory. We only take in charge the member/group types display into the single Group/Member item header.
I believe you still need the “BuddyPress Create Group Types” to take this part in charge.
@tanyagreaser as an alternative approach you can delete buddypress folder from wp-content/plugins path using ftp
Thanks @vapvarun.
I deactivated WP Better Emails and BP registration options and now mails go out fine, it seems. I haven’t had any new registrations yet, though.
Will investigate more, when I have time, but I don’t think it is a Buddypress problem.

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

Hi, thanks for these grate new BuddyPress 7.0.0
I am adding new group type and work perfect :). I would like to add a group type filter on top group list page, but i dont know how to do it with these new release…
I was using the pluging “BuddyPress Create Group Types” and my theme show the group type as a nav on top group list. Its work fine but i would like to use the BP 7.0.0 group type option and dismiss the plugin… The problem is that my theme dont recognize the new group type create with BP 7.0.0…
I am newbie in BP so I will be grateful for any help…
Cheers
I think it is a compatibility issure with Buddypress Registration Options.
Here is a support thread
Hi there, i have the latest version buddypress, bbpress and learndash installed with the Elumine theme. The buddypress notification counter does not count/alert when there is a new message/post. Can someone help, where to find that setting?
Thank you Sir!
Sorry I bugged you when this is not a Buddypress issue — and thank you so much for spending time and effort to dig into it!
I will proceed as you suggested.
Many Regards,
Kerrie

Hi, thanks for this screenshot which confirms, this is due to a JavaScript issue. FWIW, I’ve tested the members directory and the widget you are using in WP 5.6/Twenty Twenty-One and with BuddyPress as the only active plugin and I can’t reproduce your issue. This means it’s probably due to a conflict with another plugin. If I were you, I would deactivate plugins one by one, testing if the issue is still there after each plugin deactivated to find the problematic one. I would probably start with the ones that were lately updated. If you can narrow the cause this way you’ll be able to contact the right plugin’s support.
after install buddypress,
when i click “Add new” button on group page (https://mysite/wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=bp-groups),
it opens a broken link(http://mysite/그룹/create/) and show an error message of internal wordpress 404.
my wp version is 5.6-korean, buddypress version is 7.0.0
I suppose this is a long shot, but here goes.
So I have BuddyPress and the Vantage theme installed on this random website (On a development server that’s only for internal users so no link available). On any of the BuddyPress Groups pages on this site, I get the following warning:
( ! ) Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ‘bp_group_new_topic_button’ not found or invalid function name in /var/www/html/INSTALLFOLDER/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 287
Googling hasn’t really provided me with any solutions, so perhaps someone here may know the answer.
-Tried testing with TwentyTwenty theme and still get the warning.
-Tried changing Template Packs from Legacy to Nouveau and vice versa.
-Tried adding some code into functions.php to no avail.
-I disabled the bp-template-pack, but while that fixes the warning, it affects the Vantage theme design.
Using WordPress 5.5.3, BuddyPress 6.4.0, Vantage theme 1.15.5 as well as the bp-template-pack at version 1.2.1
Thanks!
I’m a huge nerd who uses BuddyPress. I don’t know everything but I would be on hand to answer questions. I’m a long time stack user. Back in the day when I worked for other people, I used SO all the time.
I’ve also run this idea past the Meta for WordPress SE (where BuddyPress is off-topic)
Yes, stack is great.
While it would be nice to avoid all the spam on these forums, who would answer questions on a BP stack?
There are unofficial Facebook groups for BuddyPress and BuddyBoss.
Participation in the former is scant, while the latter is booming.
I’m a huge fan (in general) of Stack Overflow (the web’s best developer QnA site). I am also a huge fan of BuddyPress too. This is why it is sad to me that BuddyPress is an off-topic tag in the WordPress Development SE QnA site.
I am happy to propose a dedicated BuddyPress QnA on stack exchange but only if some other people are willing to say that they would up for using it.
Hey,
thank you for the prompt reply!
1) we are using the BP Nouveau template
2) no errors in the inspector
3) no errors in the Network – AJAX – Response
I am including two screenshots of this:

As I did the upgrade to BuddyPress v7.0, I am fairly positive that was the one change that triggered the member directory getting “stuck” – and with it the Buddypress Widget, which we (used to) use prominently.
However, we did several upgrades all around WP 5.6 (we document everything). Here is an excerpt of our Change Log:
12 DEC 2020 – Saturday
☠ [08:40 UTC – @kerrie ] Filed a support request / bug inquiry here regarding the Buddypress membership / widget bug
☠ [07:45 UTC – @scaffiesadmin ] Replaced the Buddypress “Recently Online” widget with the GD “Currently Online” widget (much fewer displayed) on the newspaper, and added the “Find New Friends” widget, until the Buddypress widget has been fixed (member list does not update, it is a bigger issue than just the widget displaying it). Sadly, with Buddypress updates something goes wrong regularly – but it is usually fixed quickly.
11 DEC 2020 – Friday
☠ [12:30 UTC – @kerrie ] The Buddypress “Recently Online” widget on the newspaper seems to have stopped working. Must be connected to the v7.0 upgrade hours earlier (not that there is a choice to upgrade or not, really — security issues are also always fixed with those).
☠ [01:40 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced) to v5.6.0
☠ [01:35 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated WordPress to v5.6 – ‘Simone’ … “Code is Poetry”
☠ [01:34 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated Autoptimize to v2.8.0
☠ [01:33 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated BP Better Messages (Premium) to v1.9.7.60 (no public change log) – “other bugfixes and improvements”
☠ [01:32 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated Buddypress to v7.0 – “a major BuddyPress feature release” .. named “Filippi“
☠ [01:31 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated EU Cookie Law to v3.1.6
☠ [01:30 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated GP Premium (GeneratePress theme plug-ins) to v1.12.3 (no public change log)
☠ [01:29 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated Jetpack to v9.2.1
☠ [01:28 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated MyCred (Points, Rewards, Gamification, Ranks, Badges & Loyalty) to v2.0
☠ [01:27 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated Newsletter to v7.0.0
☠ [01:26 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated Paid Memberships Pro – Gift Levels v0.3 (no public change log)
☠ [01:25 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated UpdraftPlus Premium to v2.16.42.24 (no public change log)
07 DEC 2020 – Monday
☠ [22:46 UTC – @scaffiesadmin ] Updated WP Maintenance Mode to v2.3.0
☠ [22:45 UTC – @scaffiesadmin ] Updated BP Better Messages (Premium) to v1.9.7.59 (no public change log) – PM Pro incompatibility fix (affected Scaffies)
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS!!

I’ve tested the described issue (Two friends User A & B, both subscribers, both having a group) with latest WordPress (5.6) and BuddyPress (7.0) and into the Twenty Twenty-One theme. I can’t reproduce your issue. If it was a BuddyPress issue, then it should be the case.
I advise you to try the above configuration on a testing site, you should see the issue won’t be there. Then activate your theme, check if the issue appeared, if so: the theme should fix it, then activate all the plugins you use on your site one by one making sure to test again the issue before activating a new plugin. As soon as you can reproduce the issue, you’ve found the problematic one.

Hello, thanks for replying.
Yes, I understand. What if I put it public and want to hide anonymous access just specific pages only. So is there any alternative for that? What if I can leave it public but have the right to prevent anonymous access to certain specific pages whom I select.
Is there any way to do that? I have tried some plugins that can prevent access to specific pages when you add their shortcodes to those pages but they don’t actually do their work.
The problem with Buddypress and boss platforms is either they are fully public or fully private.
Even if I put some specific links in the open URLs area of platform settings, but thing is, how many, and how many links I will put in there. That’s kinda messy and inefficient.
I just want something I can use with these platforms, that let me private specific URLs even when I have set the platform to Public

Hi @kerriem
Thanks for your feedback. If you are using the BP Nouveau Template Pack (activated by default), then it looks like JavaScript/Ajax issues. Could you open the Members directory page having your browser’s inspector console opened to see if there are JavaScript Errors. If not, keeping the browser’s inspector opened, refresh the page, then go to the network tab of the browser’s inspector activate the line where the admin-ajax.php file is listed, then activate the Response sub tab to see if it contains a server error.
If you are using the BP Legacy Template pack, I have no idea what’s going wrong. It’s not an already known issue.
I hope you’ll be able to narrow possible cause of the issue, and if you find something relative to BuddyPress, we’ll fix it & package a minor release soon after.
Hello,
after the upgrade to v7.0 the membership directory is “stuck” (no longer updates), and the Buddypress “Recently Online” widget no longer works (also stuck, frozen in last status).
Any idea what this may cause, and is this an already known issue (which will be fixed soon)?
We use the latest version of WordPress (5.6) andkeep all plug-ins up-to-date.
Thanks!

Yes, LIKE is slow.
Mentions are handled differently as you can see; a css class is added to the content field.
So perhaps the id of the mentioned user could be added to the item_id or secondary_item_id field.
Then the query could just look for matching integers.
I suggest you open an enhancement ticket – and reference this thread.
My site has a good 15,000+ users, of which about 100+ online in BP area at any given moment (so no caching etc)
Constantly tweaking things for performance. Finally checked out the MySQL slow query log and it’s a lot of stuff. But a solid 80% of it area queries like this
# Query_time: 3.036380 Lock_time: 0.000062 Rows_sent: 0 Rows_examined: 772130
SET timestamp=1607682328;
SELECT DISTINCT a.id FROM wp_bp_activity a WHERE
(
(
a.content LIKE '%@bobtho<%'
AND
a.hide_sitewide = 0
)
)
AND a.is_spam = 0 AND a.type NOT IN ('last_activity') ORDER BY a.date_recorded DESC, a.id DESC LIMIT 0, 21;
Query time is 3.2 seconds, some are upwards of 5+
I think it’s coming from here https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/d2223de16c4b525906aaa89597a6ccc30515f58d/src/bp-activity/classes/class-bp-activity-activity.php#L380 and particularly when a user presses their “My Mentions” tab, thus its loading all of their activities that include their “@ username” text
My CPU load is *always* high, I’ve upgraded my server earlier in the year:3.4 GHz 4 vCores and 16 GB RAM so it’s not bad
Basically, I’m wondering if anything can be done about this? Since my slow-query log is filled with these types of queries (specifically it seems to be this “@ username” search) – can any optimizations be done, either in BP or something I can hack onto it?
I’m trying not to use my site as a test sandbox because the site is currently live. I’d hate to mess the thing up, hence the question beforehand.
I’d searched for 2 days for the terms “buddypress missing default pages” or “create new buddypress pages”. None of these touched on what to do if pages were missing from the install. I didn’t see anything that went into detail about how the pages were coded so I wasn’t sure
That seems to have worked though! Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and help 🙂
If I simply make pages with those names as the title, what about the content of the page? Are there shortcodes to make the pages work with Buddypress?
