The next thing I’d do is deactivate BuddyPress to see if you’re still not getting new user notifications. If you can’t do this on your live site maybe create a test install in a subdirectory. This would help isolate whether it’s a BP or WP thing. You might want to check out the WordPress forums, too – https://wordpress.org/search/new+user+notification?forums=1
Did you ever get these new user notifications? Or is it something that just started happening recently? Maybe it’s a plugin or customization issue specific to your setup.
Yes the bb-config (at the root level) and the wp-config files have the same connection details.
I’ve found the table structure from a separate database on my production server. I’m thinking about adding the 8 missing tables manually.
Does anyone see any potential challenges with that or know of any additional steps that I will need to take to get things working after I add the tables?
I’m a little out of my depth here, but I’m willing to try it so that I don’t have to start the whole site build over from scratch on a new database.
I’m open to better ideas though!
hi @modemlooper,
could you help a bit on translation, I know it is just one word – Share (button), but…
I added this line to bp-share-it.php:
`load_plugin_textdomain(‘bp-share-it’,’/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-share-it/languages/’);`
translation is loading, seems to work fine.
question is how I can add translation tags to this code (as I understand this is exact place word “Share” comes from (one of them, all others are the same):
`$shareit = ‘Share
‘;`
thanks!
It’s exactly the same – it just pulls plugins from the wp repo tagged with “buddypress”.
I didn’t knew that wordpress plugins are compatible for buddypress.
If this is the case, why do buddypress has different plugin directory at https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/ ?
@el_terko what ever language you use for your BP install then the mobile theme will use that too.
To add to what @hnla stated, if it’s about anything you can do before you add BP plugin then try searching on https://codex.wordpress.org/ or just google your question. There is more info out there about WP than you could read in a month.
Yep! Quite restrained here on this forum though, you should see my antics on my other forum home 
for the record If I’m upset or feel real admonishment is necessary it will be very plain and clear I will always say so in no uncertain terms, the above wasn’t so it was gentle-ish chiding.
@gunju2221 no please not to my server
@julius38 the above merited a smile the former didn’t, though a grimace and frown might have been appropriate 
No, hnla you are right, I will upload the file to your own server and specify the file there.
My bad. I just can’t do anything right!
Thanks @gunju2221! I added it and tweaked it and it worked fine
@hnla, try penciling in a smile 
@Boone
Thanks very much!
Your advice led me here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers
which helped clear up the finer points. And what that mysterious thing I kept ignorning, ‘I18n’, means…
@boonebgorges
Thanks for that.
And here I was thinking it was just ‘shorthand’ for echo() 
@StevieG
You can set the default avatar type in your WP backend under ‘Buddypress’ > ‘General Settings’.
It is a translation function. Wrapping ‘Blog Posts Feed’ in _e() ensures that it appears in the .po file that translators use to create language packs. The ‘buddypress’ argument ensures that it is associated with the ‘buddypress’ textdomain (since potentially the same string might be translated in different ways when part of different software packages).
The difference between __() and _e() is that _e() echoes the string to the screen.
What a quick tip on how to ‘Hot Link’ files? Are you sure that’s correct and proper? Google Hot Linking and stealing bandwidth!
yes. I see the bb-config.php file.
And can you confirm that it has the same connection details as the main wp-config file just to rule that out of the equation.
Now bowob plugin for buddypress(like facebook foot chat) is compatible with the latest version of wp and bp and is friends support !
http://bowob.com and it´s free
If telling bbPress to reinstall itself (on the buddypress forums setup page), and creating a new group, then then posting a message to the forum in that group doesn’t work, you’ll probably have to track down your server log file and see if/what messages you are getting.
yes. I see the bb-config.php file.
I tried turning off all the plugins and reactivating one by one.
Each time creating a new test forum and attempting to create a topic.
No luck. No new tables in the database… sigh!
I notice that I don’t have any bp_forum tables either. This strikes me as odd.
My site isn’t live yet.
I’m wondering if there is any way I can preserve (re-instate) all of the configuration I’ve done to date should have to delete everything and start over again.
Dread the thought!
I can’t say where the log file might live; depends on server and OS, and out of my field of knowledge. Do you have a bb-config.php file in the root directory of your site? (same folder as wp-config.php)
Hi Paul,
No, I haven’t tried installing bbPress before in the same database.
Can you tell me where the error log would typically live?
I’ve added a debugging plugin but I’m not seeing any obvious errors and I’m not sure what to look for.
I’ve never had this issue before, and I can’t find anyone else in the forums with a problem similar to mine.
Not sure what else to try at this point. Is it possible to add the tables manually?
Thanks
fanvid, You could always ask for assistance / leave comment at @sbrajesh site
Thank you for the promt reply Boone, it is appreciated.
I’ve already changed it in those two locations.
The exact error is upon attempted upload of a group avatar (which previously worked) it will attempt to crop and then post the image that posts a 404 at both the cropping and finished stages.
Buddypress has no problem creating the path to the 404ed image but it cannot seem to locate anything uploaded. The only changes to the source code of buddypress I have made were done after these problems started so they can be ruled out. It started with the changing of the database password which was properly changed in both of those files prior to this. That restored all my features except group avatar uploads.
