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)
hi , how can i add meeting request to buddypress
i wan’t the user to send simple request, the admin approve it , then the other member can accept or refuse. is there any plugin to do that or can you give me code or is there any core function?
and thank you
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 đ
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?
Hello,
I think my question would go here, although there have been some core updates since this posting. I will try to describe what I have and what I am trying to accomplish in detail in order that you can help me.
–I have multisite installed with a buddypress supported theme.
–I’d also like to use the YOUZER plugin (although not absolutely necessary).
–Subsites have woocommerce stores.
–Woocommerce accounts can be integrated with buddypress accounts (with varying plugins i.e. MyCred/Paid Membership Pro
–Community is a paid membership
I’d like a user to be able to purchase a membership at any subsite (shop), PLUS, have their (shop) account activity to be inclusive in their buddypress activity. Ergo…ONCE a membership is purchased – no matter WHAT site across the multi-site they sign into when they click (group/activity/members etc) it ALWAYS goes to the main (only) buddypress community.
MyCred integration provides for their badges etc to follow them into the community. So, the question:
Would the instructions given above in this thread hold true for the scenerio as I’ve described it?
If not, are there other suggestions?
Much appreciated….

So anyone using private sections or tabs in buddypress? Any tips?
Hi there,Â
If I use Buddypress, Memberpress, LearnDash, and Gamipress – which one of those plugins will be the dominating one? Like regarding log in etc.?Â
How will I be able to create a dashboard which features all of those features?
Also, we have different tiers of membership, level 1 doesn’t get access to the community, level 2 and 3 do. So how do we exclude level 1 members to access our community? If they need to create their profile through Buddy Press then they will have automatic access, right?Â
How can we stop level 1 members from getting access to the community? How do all these plugins work together?Â
Warm wishesÂ
new installation default theme
plugins: bbpress and buddypress

Hello guys,
I have a relationship website and I would like to customize the Members Directory showing JUST man for woman, and just woman for man.
There are two “member-type” man and woman (using buddypress member types pro plugin)
I would like to create a member directory showing just the oposite member-type and removing the others users.
Could someone help me with it? Thanks
Hi,
Those buttons don’t look like they are related to BuddyPress specifically, is this on the forums? If so buddypress uses bbpress so you may have more luck on their support forums https://bbpress.org/forums/
@samtime
Thank you very much!
The following guide solves one part of the issue:
https://buddydev.com/buddypress-better-registration-part-1-remove-full-name-confirm-password-from-buddypress-registration/
Works very well!
@ all!
Now there are still 2 issues left:
1) How to deactivate/grey the âdisplay nameâ in the users profile settings?
2) How to sync all “wp-usernames”, of all existing users, to the âdisplay nameâ.
Please use English on these forums.
You can overload templates in your theme or child-theme.
The location of the templates to be used for overloads depends on which template pack you are using.
In wp-admin, go to Settings > BuddyPress > Options and note the selection re Template Pack.
If is BuddyPress Legacy, then the templates are here:
…\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\
Otherwise they are here:
…\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-nouveau\

Hi,
I’ve just quickly installed a fresh install of wordpress and buddypress, when I use the customize options the live preview is updating. What theme are you currently using as I was testing with twenty twenty?
Also do you have any other plugins installed or customizations made?
I don’t think I can find help here
I’ve rarely seen anything complicated as a buddypress and I’m just annoyed that I used it. Because you can neither find help nor look through the template structure.
Which template do I have to touch if I want to restructure the members overview page? It must be possible to insert a simple template in my theme directory. But it is not.
I like to have a simple I want a simple statement about which concrete template I have to use. Is that too much?
The site always wants to call PAGE.PHP. Good. But what exactly do I put in there to deal with the code structure of the member pages? What Loop?
***
Ich habe nur selten etwas kompliziertes gesehen, als Buddypress und Àrgere mich gerade, dass ich es eingesetzt habe. Denn man findet weder Hilfe, noch blickt man durch die Template Sturktur durch.
Welches Template muss ich anfassen, wenn ich die Members-Ăbersichtsseite umstrukurieren will? Es muss doch möglich sein, ein einfaches Template in mein Theme-Verzeichnis einzufĂŒgen. Ist es aber nicht.
Ich möchte eine einfache Aussage, welches konkretes Template ich nehmen muss. Ist das zu viel verlangt?
Die Seite will immer die PAGE.PHP aufrufen. Gut. Aber was genau fĂŒge ich dort ein, um mich mit der Code-Struktur der Mitgliederseiten auseinander zu setzen? Welchen Loop?
@danbp hello, sorry if I shouldn’t post here, reviving this post, it happened the same to me, I can’t seem to use the customizer if BuddyPress is active. But I was able to do that before.
I get it, I can customize the theme while BuddyPress is inactive. But how can I edit the BuddyPress “feed”, as I did before(1 week ago)?
It let me add widgets to the footer… change the background colour of the feed, etc..etc..
After re-reading my post which was very confusing, I realised my english wasn’t very clear and therefore decided to correct it in order to get better help.
Problem: When I use the wordpress Customizer to customize my theme it doesn’t change the settings I want with the WYSIWYG editor. Only if I press publish and go the “Live” version of the website does it do anything. Or else it always stays the same…
Solution: Disabling buddypress fixes the problem.
How can I solve this?
Hope you guys can help me out,
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
I’m trying to set a default cover photo programmatically. It works the first time I delete the current profile cover photo. But when I refresh the page or go to another page, it disappears and is blank.
I am editing the file:
/wp-content/themes/aardvark-child/lib/inc/buddypress-functions.php
if ( ! function_exists( 'ghostpool_xprofile_cover_image' ) ) {
function ghostpool_xprofile_cover_image( $settings = array() ) {
$settings['default_cover'] = 'cover2-test3.png';
$settings['width'] = 1500;
$settings['height'] = 300;
return $settings;
}
}
Of course I add the entire URL of the photo… not just cover2-test3.png.
If I inspect the page with the cover image there, I can see the URL in the html. But when I refresh it, it is gone.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
The activation key is necessary to avoid spam users in your community. It is an intergral part of BuddyPress and I wouldn’t recommend removing it.
Hello,
I have been having problems with the Appearance > Customise since the release on the 3rd of January.
Finally matched it to BuddyPress after long testing to see what was causing it.
Any help regarding this? The issue I am having is that when I am using the customizer it doesn’t “refresh” or show the “easy edit” fields for the header for example when I edit something or even publish.
Thanks in advance, hope you can help me.

Hi there, I would like to have custom members-loop in buddypress.
I want show users what have media (mediapress), have avatar and have not xprofile field “name” empty.
I have this in my members-loop.php
<?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member();
$mp = new MPP_Media_Query(['user_id' => bp_get_member_user_id()]); // mediapress media
$user_id = esc_attr( bp_get_member_user_id() ); // user id
$has_avatar = bp_get_user_meta( $user_id, '_has_avatar', true ); // have user avatar
$_name = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Jméno' , bp_get_member_user_id() ); // have user xprofile field "name"
if (!$mp->have_media() || empty($has_avatar) || empty($_name)) {continue;}?>
this code working BUT – pagination is broken. On first page i see only 1 user, on second page i see 3 users etc…
Is there correct way?
Good to know that your problem is solved using paid plugin but If someone faces same problem it’s easy to solve.
If you didn’t know buddypress has list of shortcodes for almost everything. Find it here – https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/
For Account pages below shortcodes will be handy. You just need to create new pages and paste [shortcode] in your pages.
[bbp-login] â Display the login screen.
[bbp-register] â Display the register screen.
[bbp-lost-pass] â Display the lost password screen.
to set dynamic login pages follow below.
1) From your admin dashboard goto settings > Buddypress.
2) look for tab named Pages.
3) Select your register and activate pages.
@sydlyisaacs Youzer plugin will do the same but it gives you simpler interface to manage your pages.
I use buddypress for registration but this page not loading correctly!

Hi,
Iâm having a few dozen database error entries in the apache log every day. First i thought the WP Cerber plugin could be the trouble maker. Since this entries are all connected with failed login attempts with wrong user names. Most probably Spambots. But the WP Cerber developer told me that this is a Buddypress issue. See this issue: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-database-error-you-have-an-error-in-your-sql-syntax-5/#post-12366843
So i kindly ask for support here.
Such a log looks usually like this. A few attempts from always the same non existing user name before it gets locked by WP Cerber:
WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near âWHERE active = 0 AND user_login = âAveryZemâ ORDER BY signup_id DESC LIMIT 0, 1âČ at line 1 for query SELECT * FROM WHERE active = 0 AND user_login = âAveryZemâ ORDER BY signup_id DESC LIMIT 0, 1 made by require(âwp-blog-header.phpâ), require_once(âwp-load.phpâ), require_once(âwp-config.phpâ), require_once(âwp-settings.phpâ), do_action(âinitâ), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, {closure}, cerber_wp_login_page, require(âwp-login.phpâ), wp_signon, wp_authenticate, apply_filters(âauthenticateâ), WP_Hook->apply_filters, bp_core_signup_disable_inactive, BP_Signup::get, referer: https://bforartists.de/bfa-login/
The page is unfortunately already productive. So i cannot turn off addons wildly anymore.
Could you please help me to get rid of this errors please? ????
Kind regards
Arunderan
