I’ve just added that restriction into my plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-messaging-control/, I’d welcome your feedback, but make it on the plugin forum, this ones only for BuddyPress.
It’s in the Public Message Character Restrictions in Settings>>Messaging Control
You should ask on the bbPress forums regarding limiting the topic size.
For private messages and also Activity update size restrictions I’ve just added those restriction capabilities into my plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-messaging-control/, I’d welcome your feedback, but make it on the plugin forum, this ones only for BuddyPress.
I’m able to add translation rules that alter language used on BuddyPress pages. What I need to do however is alter language in the email message that a member gets as a private message from another member.
Many strings in these email messages are available in buddypress.pot, but changes in my custom .mo file have no affect. Again, I do have changes in the very same custom .mo file that succeed in altering text that appears on BuddyPress web pages.
Where do I begin to track down the problem? Should I be able to do this at all?
Yes that’s correct, BuddyPress just uses the WordPress Login, there’s quite a few alternatives.
If it still does not work with BuddyPress deactivated then something’s blocking WordPress itself. One thing to check is if you have ever installed a cache, some of them leave files behind, it can be quite a job truly uninstalling them.
if I deactivate Buddypress, issue persists. I am totally lost here.
the strange thing alse is that the log-in page is has the wordpress logo, is this correct?
Hi there, That should not be happening in groups, group activity should never contain users profile updates. The first thing to do is to deactivate all other plugins except BuddyPress and see if you still get that behaviour.
Have you done any BuddyPress customisations? Template Overloads, code in your functions.php or bp-custom.php?
I am still having the same issue. I’ve disabled all the plugins except BuddyPress, bbpress, contact form, profile. I’ve also switched the theme to 2012. I’m still getting the same result. Members of hidden groups can see the hidden group, but admin’s can.
For what it’s worth, from my own investigations this issue was caused by the list item for the group list entry for hidden groups having a class attached called hidden.
Some plugins will use this class and try to set display: none;. BuddyPress has a Javascript method to undo this just in case you have such a plugin.
However in my case the plugin was also setting visibility: hidden; for the class hidden and it was this that was preventing the groups from being displayed.
That’s a shame, last time I came across passwords issue like this it was caused by a caching plugin.
What about if you deactivate BuddyPress, do the passwords work then?
Hi there,
1. By default BP is an open site – members page and any others will be publicly available. There’s a bunch of plugins that change this google buddypress privacy etc to find them.
2. Is this due to the member password not being recognised?
3. and 2. sound like you probably have a plugin conflict. try deactivating all other plugins and testing. It’s also worth switching to a default theme such as 2017 for this test.
4. Users are only listed in the members list after they have logged in at least once.
Hi, new in WordPress and Buddypress, Following some youtube tutorials, I have installed buddypress and configured it. Everything fine but I have few issues:
1. The Member page is shown whe users are logged in (which is fine) but also when users is logged out (this is the issue that I have. anyone (logged in or logged off) can see and access to the Member page.
2. When a user is registered, receive the e-mail and activate the account (in the WordPress dashboard the users shows as ACTIVE), then the user tries to access to the site using the user and password but get an error that the information is incorrect and is unable to access the site. Me as administrator I am the only one that can access the site.
3. if that user clic the “Forgot password” option, a message indicates that an e-mail was sent to the e-mail but is never received.
4. In the Member page, only my user is listed as active, even when the site has several active users.
I know there are several topics, but any help you can provide, will be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Yep I’ve tested it and hidden groups are not displayed in the users group lists, neither with BP Legacy nor BP Nouveau.
Could you raise a bug report of Trac?

Hi,
I’m seeing a strange issue with Buddypress, that for each time a member signs in, their buddypress @name gets a -2 added to their name, e.g. @collegeadmin-2-2-2-2-2 – the same behaviour exists whether I use a default theme, e.g. twentyseventeen, or a BB theme, e.g. Kleo. Has anybody else encountered such behaviour and can you suggest a fix? We’re using the user’s Email as their username and using SAML SSO, if that makes any difference.
Many thanks,
Paul
I’m having the same issue. I have users who are members in hidden groups who no longer can see those groups. I know for sure it happened after the last BuddyPress update. I have three test sites one which hadn’t been updated in a bit. It once I updated BuddyPress, members of Hidden groups could no longer see those groups. I switched to the twenty-twelve them and de-activated most of the plugins to confirm the issue. I even resaved the permalinks. Admin accounts still see all their groups, members no longer see hidden groups. It does seem to be something within BuddyPress. Any suggestions @Venutius ?
Hello, while I’ve gotten the site to fail a registration with an incorrect number using what you suggested above, it doesn’t display any error message of sorts. My line is: $bp->signup->errors['invalid_number'] = __( 'Please enter a valid phone number', 'buddypress' ); This is in my bp-custom.php class, in the function that gets added to the hook bp_signup_validate, when an incorrect phone number is determined. The site properly fails a registration with an incorrect number, while allowing registration with a correct one, but it doesn’t display any error pop up at all, even though I included an error message of sorts with the latter half of the line. Is this a code issue, or could this potentially be a theme issue? I’m using the Spacious theme if this helps
Hello,
How I can adapt my theme for buddypress? I must do it because loading (nouveau) don’t working.
ok I understand though it could be clearer also on BP side, because for the login… they send to a WordPress login!
And all internet says that both bbPress and BuddyPress come from the same company!
I started by googling “free online forum platforms” and then saw there was a platform by wordpress… etc, and I finished here.
We have no relationship with wordpress.com, BuddyPress is a free plugin, available to anyone using a wordpress.org self hosted site. it’s the wordpress.com info that would need to tell you this, not BP.
But also in BuddyPress, they should say that intalling BuddyPress in wordpress is only for paid plans. I did not see it mentionned, so it seems possible to do for the free plans as well….
At least good to know that I cannot install BuddyPress… nobody says it is for paid sites!
they say it is free, but if I have to take a paid plan, then it is not free for me!
Thanks!
Ok ic.
But where are the settings for BuddyPress stored? DO you know?
My understanding is that uninstalling BuddyPress would not remove the settings, so the new copy would simply take on the old settings.
Plugins might be different, some of them delete their data, some don’t.
Hi.
Thank you so much for a detailed answer. I think I understand what you are saying. Other than installing buddypress, extra plugins and a theme we have not done any extra customisations to the functions.php.
So if i delete the buddypress plugin and the other plugins and the theme, I would get a quite clean start right?
If I do so. Is there any special steps I need to take on when installing buddypress and other plugins again to make sure the users info shos up again or does that automatically happen?
Regards
