BuddyPress.org

I think you have used BuddyPress and BuddyBoss themes. You can try deactivating the BuddyBoss theme temporarily to see if the issue persists, which will help determine whether the problem is related to the theme or BuddyPress itself.

// Check if the current component is 'activity'
if ( bp_is_current_component( 'activity' ) ) {
    echo "This is the BuddyPress activity page!";
} else {
    echo "This is not the BuddyPress activity page.";
}

bp_is_current_component( ‘activity’ )
This function checks if the current BuddyPress component being viewed is ‘activity’. Since BuddyPress 12 doesn’t use WordPress pages for components like activity, this is the correct way to detect if you are on the activity section.

Please clarify, the error happen when you upload BuddyPress plugin file?

You can try this plugin

BuddyPress Group Email Subscription

You need to install Loco Translate plugin on your website

Loco Translate

Go to Loco Translate >> Plugins, and you should see BuddyPress then. You also can check Loco Translate documentation to know how to use this plugin.

Buddypress does not provide a shortcode for the activity stream. There are only 2 ways to achieve this:

1. You can create your Activity Feed shortcode which is it will require some custom PHP works

2. Find a BuddyPress plugin that provides a BuddyPress Activity Feed shortcode.

Hi Ryan,

You can use Shortcodes for BuddyPress plugin to display BuddyPress activities on any page. You can find it here: https://wbcomdesigns.com/downloads/shortcodes-for-buddypress/

It also provides shortcodes for members and groups, allowing you to display member and group directories on any custom page.

Please let me know if you have any further questions!

You can edit the Buddypress.pot file using Poedit software and edit or edit the words using the Loco Translate plugin.

It sounds like you’ve already taken some great troubleshooting steps. Since the “Join Group” button isn’t functioning, I would recommend the following:

Check for JavaScript errors: Right-click on the page, select “Inspect,” then go to the “Console” tab to see if any errors appear when you click the button. JavaScript conflicts often cause buttons to stop working.

Enable WordPress Debugging: You can enable the debug log by adding the following line to your wp-config.php file:

php

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);

This will help catch errors that might not be visible in the front-end.

Check group creation method: If your groups were created using a plugin or demo import, try creating a new group manually to see if the issue persists. Sometimes imported data can cause conflicts.

If none of these resolve the issue, it could be helpful to explore potential theme conflicts with BuddyPress or review any customizations you may have made.

People can check the list of groups and list of members on the directory page. Usually, the page is “yourwebsite.com/members” for the member’s directory and “yourwebsite/com/groups” for the group directory.

You can see and edit the slug on BuddyPress Settings >> URL tab.

If the issue is the non logged-on user can not access it, I think it is because there’s a restriction system on your website. Maybe it’s part of a plugin/theme on your website or a code. You need to disable it so people can access your BuddyPress directory.

1. You can disable all plugins except BuddyPress change your WordPress to the default theme and see if the issue persists or not.

2. You can check if you add any custom code on the bp-custom.php or functions.php file inside the theme folder. If you have that custom code, you can remove it and see if it fixes the error or not.

Since version 12, BuddyPress has no longer used WordPress pages. That’s why you will not find a page ID on the BP pages.

A possible solution, you install the BP Classic plugin so the BuddyPress page can use the WP page.

You can use this CSS:

#buddypress #item-header-avatar a {
  pointer-events: none !important;
}

It sounds like you’ve done a lot of the right things already. Here are a few additional steps you might try:

Check for Conflicting Plugins: Ensure no other plugins are overriding BuddyPress translations.
Clear Caches: Clear any caches that might be affecting the translation display.
Verify Translation File: Double-check that the .po file has the correct translation for “Name” and is properly saved.
Theme Conflict: Make sure your theme isn’t overriding the BuddyPress translations.
If the issue persists, you might want to reach out to the BuddyPress support community for more specific advice.

You also can try “Reset all BuddyPress slugs to default ones” on the Tools >> BuddyPress. If it also won’t help, I think you need to contact the BP Better Message team for support.
