Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice on making some sections of various profile groups private. Essentially I have two user groups, TEACHERS and PARENTS (the site I’m working on is for a private education organisation). The administrator would like the PARENTS user group to be able to view the TEACHERS profiles, but not be able to see other PARENTS profiles. As far as I’m aware, there is no restrictions on what the TEACHERS are allowed to see.
I’ve installed Buddypress Profile Privacy plugin (http://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-profile-privacy/home/), and it looks like this almost achieves the functionality that I require. Problem is that it only restricts access to Everyone, Friends, User, and Let User Decide.
Is there a way to impose the same kind of restrictions on specific user groups?
Thanks so much, in advance.
Cheers,
Chris
Hi,
It is not exactly the same, but you can use WangGuard and the users can report to the admin the spammer users

Kind regards
@BlinkyBill01 – You can see the changes that will be in 1.6 here, https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5443
the red markings is what was removed and the green is what was added,
to find it in the future, it’s usually linked to by a core dev before the ticket becomes closed,
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2207#comment:22
…and for anyone thinking of using it on their site for a quick-fix, please note that it’s still in beta and being tested and not guaranteed to work… (theirs a reason it doesn’t get pushed out to live sites automatically)
Since it isn’t a critical bug but an enhancement i’d recommend waiting afew weeks until it’s out officially.
edit: ohhh, right. We are at version 1.5.4 you can see them here – https://buddypress.org/blog/
Agreed on the matter of adding a plugin to cure the symptoms, it’s not really a solution; sending email is a fiddly business due to a plethora of badly implemented solutions for trying to ID spam mail, but essentially moving email around is not rocket science and ‘sendmail’ or similar apps work quite well to achieve this, generally this sort of issue will be to do with receiving servers not being happy with the mail, either they can’t perform a reverse lookup on the domain or they are trying to check for a SPF record and not finding one. Not sure what to suggest other than that, your site/server is sending emails successfully so I don’t see the point of a further plugin, reviewing any mailer-deamon failure emails if they exist and can be found can help by tracking down any error numbers returned, but logs are really the only means to working out what is happening here.
Is your mail server located elsewhere for that domain? is the box you are running your site on a cpanel or plesk enabled one? i so does that have a mail server running set to your domain, control panels can tend to set up defaults that are not obvious and run services such as email servers that you may not want and that may be trapping your domain mail and returning it to it’s self rather than pushing it on off the box.
If the URL shows correctly on the sites/create page, but not on the /reigster page, that could be a bug in BuddyPress. Please would you report it to https://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org; you can use your username and password from this site. Thanks
Bump.
Could a file be overwriting my style.css for my theme somehow? I am really scratching my head here as to why no changes I make to my style.css take effect.
Hello,
I have a buddypress multisite with 81 users and 43 sites, and now it’s running very slowly. I’ve added WP SuperCache, but even so, the page loads are so slow that the network’s nearly unusable. I’m still learning a lot of this. Besides quitting my day job to study webdesign or hiring someone to help, is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thank you in advance.
(PS I’m running the most current version of WordPress and Buddypress.)
Hi, I am having a bizarre issue after changing the multisite install from subdirectory to subdomain.
When a user is trying to create a new site from the buddypress registration page, the URL displayed is: ‘ _____________.http://networkurl.com’ the “___” represents an input text field.
the issue that I have been able to pinpoint is that the `bp_blogs_get_subdomain_base()` also returns the http:// part. I am pretty sure buddypress is aware that the multisite install is in subdomain mode since it displays the . after the input box.
I am unable to just deactivate the plugin, drop all tables and reactivate since I already have content and sites active that were created through buddypress.
When creating a new site as a logged in user through: /sites/create/ , the base url displays correctly and the input section looks like : “__________ .mysite.com”.
Please let me know what I can try to fix this problem.
Thank You,
Adrian
I too am having the same problem. The Registration page was automatically created and when I edit that page the permalink is http://pc.bradstreets.net/register HOWEVER when I click view page (or click Register in my Nav) I get my home page. I have checked the Buddypress Pages setup and it is set to the right page – I just can’t view that page in any fashion.
I’m up to almost 700 queries per page. this is worrying me. can anyone advise?

You can go to my site and click sign up and it takes you to the create account form but when you submit it doesnt redirect to a message saying check email for authorization. I thought maybe it was a script interfering so I deregistered all of them from the register page but that didn’t help. Then I though maybe it was because I changed the buddypress default.js to load in the footer but i changed it to the header and it didn’t help. So now I’m here. HELP! You can try it here at http://fameordie.com/register.
It was the php.ini file. Thanks.
Are you using the WP Toolbar (what you see on testbp.org) or the BuddyBar (BuddyPress’ older bar)?
Thanks, @djpaul – you are welcome!
I use firefox web developer tool to check CSS inspector:
`/wp-admin/load-styles.php?c=0&dir=ltr&load=admin-bar,wp-admin&ver=7f0753feec257518ac1fec83d5bced6a
#wp-admin-bar-user-info .avatar{
position: absolute;
left: -72px;
top: 4px;
}`
There is missing codes. It takes awhile for me to find where is the admin-bar.css file? I found it is in /wp-includes/css/admin-bar.css and it works but you mention that you fixed it in BuddyPress version and I fixed it in WordPress version?
Am I misunderstanding something?
Thanks, Mikey3D
Thanks Hugo.
Yes all mailboxes are solid and legit and have been receiving email for years.
I’ve checked mail logs and spam and these emails are nowhere to be found.
Contacted host as well and they have suggested utilizing a WordPress plugin called ‘MailFrom’:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/
Anyone know anything about this plugin, and how it might resolve this problem.
I’m OK with trying it out, but don’t really want to throw a plugin at a problem without really knowing why I’m getting the problem (one more plugin to create possible problems).

And obviously all those accounts have mail boxes and , receive emails to addresses such as joeblogs@example.com?So is your server hosting BP acknowledged as a server allowed to relay mail from itself under that domain, this sounds more like an issue with your mail server and how it’s been configured – too tightly in respect of spam checking? you may want to check your email logs see what has been arriving at your email server and how it’s dealt with it.
Hello
Folks whose email address contain the domain name of the BuddyPress site are not receiving their verification email (not showing up in spam filters either). They are not showing up anywhere in the BuddyPress admin either, but I can see them in in the wp_users table in the database.
If you register with a gmail account the verification email comes right away.
How do I verify the users that are already in the wp_users table, and how do I ensure that staff of the org having email addresses with the domain name can receive verification emails.
The BuddyPress instance is run in a subfolder; not sure if that matters.

Any help much appreciated.

@DJPaul, BuddyBoss theme. Site is livingwithhm.com.
I also cannot search members, groups, or create a group (unless using the dashboard). I’m also using the Buddypress Template Pack and Buddypress for Pagelines. I’ve imported the site to its permanent domain which is now mylibertyclassical.com. Thanks in advance for any help!
You’re right that it had broken in trunk again; I’ve just fixed it, and so it’ll update on BuddyPress.org soonish. Thanks for pointing that out.
I tested the 1.5 branch, and the 1.5.4 tag, and both worked fine. On your site, are you able to look at the large gravatar with a CSS inspector and see if it’s picking up these styles:
#wp-admin-bar-user-info img.avatar {
height: 64px;
width: 64px;
}
@djpaul It’s exactly the same thing my site and buddypress.og have too large avatar mystery man. Here’s the screenshot I just showing you above here. What more can I tell you?
In order: yes, not yet (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3460), no, and I expect BuddyPress 1.6 will be in a beta in within a couple of weeks.
