Hello, I tried your code with adding it in functions.php of the theme and replacing in add_role ‘invited_members’ by the name of my custom role. But it doens’t work, the new invited stays subscriber.
Is it because is not an invite sent to a group but by mail ?
What is the variable $inviter ? the member wich send the invite or this one wich receive the invitation by mail ?
I don’t find the variable $invited_users in by-mail.php nor in your functions.php. Is it a Buddypress variable ?
I see in the file functions.php of your module in the $defaults_array : ‘minimum_role’ => ‘subscriber’.
What is it ? Is it the minimum role of member to be able to send an invitation ?
And an other question : when the new user has followed all the steps and go to the profile of wich had invited him, he cannot write on his wall or add medias, just read. Is it normal ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
Otherwhise, your plugin works fine !
It’s hard to answer this one, but if you remember to a word or a sentence from the thread you found earlier, you can try to use google operators to find it.
example google search: site:Buddypress.org “crop image”
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=site%3ABuddypress.org+%22crop+image%22
Hello,
Just installed BP and really like it, but I have a small problem.
My site uses a plugin what imports content from other sites, it also imports comments.
Now since buddypress activated all the imported comment authors changed to the wp admin user.
If I check the comments on the backend it shows the original (imported) usernames, but on the frontpage it all changes to admin. If I deactivate BP the problem dissappears.
WP:5.1.1
BP:4.2.0
Theme:Bimber
I tryed searching the plugin code to find what exactly overwrites the author but no luck, tried to turn on/off all default wp “disscussion” settings, BP settings but no luck.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks.
Hi there,
Yes emails can be difficult to diagnose because sometimes they are sent but not accepted by the destination email host.
The first thing to do is to deactivate all plugins and see if that corrected it.
IF that fails, try switching to a default theme such as 2017.
Next thing to try is reinstall your BP Emails in Admin>>Tools>>BuddyPress.
If they are still not being sent then you need to turn on WP-DEBUG and see if there are any errors being produced.
If they are still not being sent, then deactivate BuddyPress and see if the standard WordPress emails are being sent.
Some people have got to this point and fixed it by installing an alternative WP Email engine, as it was down to their hosting provider not allowing the WordPress emails through.
Hi,
Yes indeed. I followed youre advice and found it. In the past when i deactivated all the plugins, there was always 1 security plugin that i let active together with buddypress. Turns out it was the security plugin givin a problem. One of the settings in the plugin was installed that i need to give users manually premission. I changed the settings and new users can register the normal way.
Thank you for youre help.
Hi, there.
I am having trouble finding what exactly could be the error on my site that I am not receiving emails!
Like for an instance, if I register I do not get an activation link and when I go to the Pending User List and send the activation email from there, the email is sent. But when I instantly again send the activation email the email is not sent.
Another instance like, if I change my password I receive the email at first but again if I change it, I won’t receive an email.
What could be the issue here? This is so frustrating as I cannot know what is going on with my site!
Is BuddyPress causing an problem!!?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I am working on one of my project with buddypress, but when user goes to thier profile it will show his extended profile fields data but when user clink on edit tab from front end it will not show any option to edit the profile from front end.
How can I give access to user to edit their profiles from front end instead of going to backend.
Please help me for this, I am looking for the solution but didin’t find anything for this
Thanks in advance
Thanks for your quick reply. The mentioned thread was just to show that someone has already tried to find a solution.
I have no coding skills at all, but I guess someone – either BuddyPress or YOAST team would have to make changes to their code in order to solve the issue. Can you please go ahead and raise the issue on Trac? If someone asks specific questions there, I most probably could not give the right answers.
Regards,
Martin
I guess the next step would be to raise an issue on Trac, since this sounds like you are wanting a change to the way the code works. include the link to the Yoast discussion.
Hello again,
the YOAST team has confirmed the BuddyPress conflict and told me to contact the BuddyPress developers – it’s the back and forth game situation.
https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/12435#issuecomment-479479079
Can you please get in contact witch each other? Maybe you can sort things together. I am sure that a lot of users including me would gratefully appreciate your effort.
Maybe this thread could help to find a solution:
Making WordPress SEO plugin compatible with BuddyPress
Thank you in advance and all the best,
Martin
It sounds like something is messing with the user database lookups, have you tried deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and trying?
Hey @werny,
I’ve just added this to the repository. It doesn’t do anything advanced, but is free!
Toolkit for BuddyPress
I guess the first thing to check is that you have a page configured to be the activation page. If you look in Settings>>BuddyPress>>Pages you can check there. You won’t be able to access the activation page while logged in, so log out and see if you can access the activate page manually, without the activation key. does that work?
@venutitus
I found unchecking ‘Activity auto-refresh’ in Buddypress settings has temp fixed.
Still need to locate real issue
Is there a way to recognize registering users?
I want to track/recognize the users who sign up with buddypress
Example:
I send an invitation code via email to a user (example http://www.mydomain.com/register/code=44444)
If the user signs up after a while, I can recognize him later (I know that this is this user).
Only me as admin should be able to see that info in his profile.
Is that possible or is there a plugin for that?
@Venutius I am using BuddyPress Legacy.
Which BP Theme are you using ( Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options ) then I can be more accurate in my testing.
Hi @Venutius thank you for your reply.
I put the below code into wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php. I also enabled the default WP 2016 theme, and tried disabling all my plugins except BP. The autocomplete is still not showing up when friends connection is disabled.
When I have friends connection enabled, the autocomplete works to show a list of Friends only.
I’m not sure why this is not working. Does the AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL still work in BuddyPress 4.2?
define( 'BP_MESSAGES_AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL', true );
When I run WPT Custom Mo File, it returns this error: “Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.”
I have performed the PoEdit process you described and uploaded the files to the directories I stated earlier. The message was unchanged.
Neither process as described in https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ seems to work.
More suggestions? Is there a php (or other) file I could edit?
I (1) downloaded buddypress.pot; (2) made the changes to it using a text editor; (3) copied buddypress.pot to buddypress-en_US.po; (4) used poedit to create buddypress-en_US.mo; (5) copied all 3 files to /wp-content/languages/plugins/; (6) tested Register; (7) messages unchanged.
So I (1) copied all 3 files to /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages/; (2) tested Register; (3) messages unchanged.
What did I do wrong?
That’s great! It took me a while to figure it out and it would have definitely been a downer if it didn’t work.
I also worked out how to combine all of the activity types onto one page here https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-combine-activity-tabs-to-one/ it may also be of interest.
@Venutius unfortunately, nothing has changed.
Personal activities are still not available. I use Template Pack BuddyPress Legacy.
but I’m not attached to this. If it is necessary to change it, I will do it
I think what you are asking for is that group activity should not be posted to the activity page.
group activities for public groups are automatically shown site-wide by default and I can’t see anyway to change this. The only option I could come up with, which is far from ideal is to delete the activity that is set sitewide and add it again with the setting change to hide sitewide:
add_action( 'bp_activity_add', 'bpex_hide_group_activity' );
function bpex_hide_group_activity( $r, $activity_id ) {
if ( $r['component'] == buddypress()->groups->id ) {
$group = groups_get_group( $r['item_id'] );
if ( isset( $group->status ) && 'public' == $group->status ) {
bp_activity_delete( 'id' => $activity_id );
$r['hide_sitewide' => true;
$new_id = bp_activity_add( $r );
}
}
}
It’s not really ideal as any notifications that get sent based on the first activity will result in a not found error when clicked so you will probably want to improve the logic used to filter our specific activities and not all group activities as I’ve done here.
I’ve recently wrote a pluugin that allows you to devolve authority for each of the BuddyPress components to other roles. So a non admin could manage the extended profile information for all users. It’s called BP Devolved Authority. However if I understand you correctly then this may not be what you are looking for. I’m not aware of any other plugins that allow finer granularity of managing BP Users.
