I’ve since confirmed that normal WordPress notifications are working for users who have email addresses with country code extensions. (I asked one of these users to retrieve their password from the login screen and they received the resulting email message sent from WordPress.) So the problem seems to be specific to BuddyPress private messages.
@modemlooper if you get a chance can you check out the question in this thread and tell me if you know how to write that?
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/querycall-mentions-list-1/
It’s very similar to what you had suggested to me here, but I’m just trying to figure out how to combined all the different personal acitivity streams into one (just-me, mentions, favorities).
Which is extremely frustrating because buddypress.org itself actually works this way but there is no clear way how to do it for your own sites.
It is more like Twitter than anything. I have been trying to figure out a way to just combine all the separate activity streams (just-me, mentions, favorites) into one simple stream
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/querycall-mentions-list-1/
This use to work for at least combining “just-me” and “mentions” but the last update or two broke it
Using activity as wire in Buddypress 1.2 themes
i did something like this in a real round about way using the Buddypress Followers plugin. I was able to modify to only show the Follow Button on profiles if the profile owned a blog — Note* this will only work where members are only able to have 1 blog. It will not work in case of an admin that has various blogs — I was also able to modify the plugin to only show Blog Posts in the Users “Following” tab activity stream. And finally I was able to put the Follow button in the user blog sidebar. I had to disable the Follow/Following buttons everywhere except for the member profile and their blog.
I like you all have been looking for something like this too. I like the idea of adding notifications for bp and email when someone you follow has added a blog post.
Ok, nevermind. That was a very silly question 
@r-a-y its true that pagination is all messed up. What is the better way of doing this?
I would guess this has to be done higher in the loop. I’m using this to get members displayed alphabetically and it works ok. Could this be used to select users based on custom profile field values as well?
`<?php
if ( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’ ) ==””)
{
$queryString = “type=alphabetical&action=alphabetical&per_page=150”;
}
else {
$queryString = bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’ );
}
?>
`
Andrea_r I know we are walking on a fine fine hear – as I told Paul, opening Pandora’s box.
Boone, apoplogies for not having made that clear – though when you did release your ning to buddypress importer, they where quick to jump and show their faces.
I have spoken to Paul and respect his comment, along with the others. We will head over to the WordPress forums.
@DJpual said he will be closing this?
I had the same problem. After two weeks of finding solutions I decided to reinstall all network and drop the tables of buddypress too.
BuddyPress doesn’t interfere with user registration at that level. I think you’re almost certainly doing something wrong if you are needing to create your own hash for the password, etc. The authentication class is overridable, and most stuff can be done via the ‘authenticate’ action (I think that’s the name). I would rethink the approach you are taking, and do a bit more research — the wordpress.org forums may have had discussion about hooking into the registration process, and certainly the codex does.
OK ! It’s working with the exception of the file attachments (because I removed the do_action lines) but the page now posts to the proper forum. 
Here is the code:
`<?php
/*
Template Name: Question
*/
?>

How To Ask A Great Question And Get It Answered
Maybe you are stuck on a homework problem or do not understand a particular concept. Don’t panic. TheChemBook.com is a great place to ask your questions.
First search to see if someone else has asked about the problem. Next, search The Chemistry Text by reading the section on the topic.
If none of this helps, start a new topic by completing the form below.
Start with a great headline. Avoid saying, “I’m lost” or “how do I do problem 12?”
A great headline might be “Determining Significant Figures – Captured Zeros”
Next, type as much detail as possible, for example, add the exact wording of the problem you are trying to answer.
Finally, explain the problem and what you have tried.
The more details you add then the faster someone can help you.
Teachers are available at irregular intervals, therefore, make sure that you help others with their questions, too.
<?php printf( __( "You are not a member of any groups so you don't have any group forums you can post in. To start posting, first find a group that matches the topic subject you'd like to start. If this group does not exist, why not create a new group? Once you have joined or created the group you can post your topic in that group’s forum.”, ‘buddypress’ ), site_url( BP_GROUPS_SLUG . ‘/create/’ ) ) ?>
You need to <a href="”>log in or <?php printf( __( ' create an account‘, ‘buddypress’ ), site_url( BP_REGISTER_SLUG . ‘/’ ) ) ?> to participate in the tutoring area.
`
If you see a way to enhance this template then please let me know. The file attachment plugin isn’t working with this page (nor edit a topic) so something obvious is probably missing.
Hope this helps someone else trying to get a page with a form to post to the forums ….
Update:
If I remove, “ and ` ` then the header loads properly, the submit buttons show
BUT nothing posts to the forums. This is due to form action being incorrect. What should it be?
Oh so close!
Update to the update:
It turns out that the file attachments portion of buddypress plugin aren’t present either. 
Ugh. I feel like I’m so close to getting this to work.
Rather than try to create a BP page, a WP page was created with a template. The template contains the following code:
`<?php
/*
Template Name: Question
*/
?>

Now – the header has gone wild on the whole site, the buttons at the top right disappear on the WP page for ask-a-question, and NO submit button is showing when logged into the site.

Any thoughts on what is wrong with the code?
Update: Looking at the source after the page loads – the form is not completing; that is, no `` is being served.
@ARHistoryHub i have this plugin running but it doesn’t seem to work. what have you put in your blocked activity types?
`I can most assuredly say he did not rip off the premium one and stuff it in the repo.`
Correct. I spent many hours of my free time coding that plugin. If you don’t believe me, just ask my wife, who had to put up with my constant complaining about Ning’s crappy json files.
I don’t sell plugins myself, but I don’t have a problem with people who do. And I most certainly would not go out of my way to hurt those people financially, if their only “crime” is charging for their work. (Occasionally, there are other issues to be considered.)
It’s specious of you to argue that, on the one hand, the world needs more volunteers, and at the same time to pull this kind of stunt. Pulling the rug out from someone’s business will not make them “see the light” and start volunteering here. It will only make them angry.
“as what happened with the ning to buddypress importer.”
Actually, I’d like to correct you on this as well. There’s a ning-to-buddypress importer plugin in the repo written by boone – one of the BP devs. I can most assuredly say he did not rip off the premium one and stuff it in the repo.
The site in question is alreayd releasing “lite” version of their plugins in the repo. Quite a number of them at this point.
You’re waiting for them to “come around”. They will not. Their pricing model makes them enough money to have kept at it now for four years.
What you’re doing, however well-intended, sets a precedence that makes it seem okay for people to do this to anyone. Like myself, for example. Yes, I sell plugins as well. While technically you could do the same to me, it would not endear me towards helping you. Ever.
Paul is pointing out that rather than helping people in this forum with their buddypress issues, you’re basically advertising for paid services. THAT is the problem.
Not sure. It appears for me under the buddypress admin dropdown as ‘Activity Block’ and it should work for muti-site as well. (I’m running a single installation.) I’m gonna mention the developer, @nuprn1, though he hasn’t been on in months. Perhaps @Bowromir knows…
Sorry, I was being unclear. When a newer version of BuddyPress is put in place in /plugins, when you as an admin visit /wp-admin/, it will fire an internal update script. That’s what I was referring to.
I can’t remember how similar 1.0rc to 1.0 was. I have not recently tried to see if it’s possible to upgrade from 1.0 to the latest version, 1.2.8, in one go. On the safe side, I suggest you upgrade to 1.0 first, then: 1.1, 1.2 (new BP-Default theme here — it should switch to the new default theme automatically), 1.2.4.1, 1.2.8.
BuddyPress 1.0 runs on WP 3.1? I wasn’t aware, impressive! The database schema changed a bit somewhere in the 1.0-1.2? releases, so try to stick to the upgrader if you can.
“makes it look more like you want in on the action too.” $1 minus paypal’s trance-action fee is nothing to jump around about. With the proceeds we aim to increase the index. Most of the plugins index on Muttuj are already available for free, all you have to do is google them. We are simply offering them with peace of mind – having not been altered.
“all those premium services are helping the grow of WP and BP” – That’s if you can afford it. Not everyone is from Europe or the US, and those that can’t afford it are simply left behind. The ‘techno rich’ get richer and the ‘techno poor’ get poorer.
“people like Paul or Andrea_r” The problem is we need more Paul’s and Andrea_r’s, you can’t tell me the admins on BuddyPress.org wouldn’t appreciate some help from the members of the premium sites in questing. The only time they will come around is when one of their plugins gets released to the repo, as what happened with the ning to buddypress importer.
@ARHistoryHub after activation the plugin is not showing in the site admin or the network admin… any ideas?
