BuddyPress.org

OK,
so after turning off all plugins, I was able to narrow it down to an issue I believe may be specific to buddypress. To solve the issue I created a functions.php under my child theme and added the following code:
add_filter( 'bp_email_use_wp_mail', '__return_true' );

Then under Tools > BuddyPress I selected “re-install emails.” Now the registration emails get sent on signup.

I think I just needed the encouragement to take everything apart which is something I was really resisting. Appreciate it 🙂

Quick followup note, I changed that code in buddypress-messages.js, but then I needed to use a javascript minifier such as https://javascript-minifier.com/ and then save that as buddypress-messages.min.js.

When I click submit the URL looks like this: https://buddypress.org/?post_type=topic&p=303301 I’m assuming p = is the post ID that I’m attempting to create? When I tried again I got p=303302.

My other though was it was actually Google who hacked my site in cahoots with the Buddypress Devs. and I’m not the only website they are hacking. And why would they do this you ask??? Well it’s saving them millions & Millions of Adsense dollars thats why!!! IF I could prove it I would sue them! That alone would be worth millions in publicity! What do you think??? Can you help me prove it?? Message me on the site InternetTop40.com Im “Top40” or right back here on buddypress.org support!

Deactivating Youzer by itself didn’t give me any improvements. So its gotta be a buddypress issue.

I just found out that when I deactivate Buddypress and Youzer and use the sign-in from my theme everything works fine. WordPress takes me to the “ugly” registration page and even sends me an email which I need to activate.

So I just wanted to update this in case anyone else was looking for something along these lines.
I found some code on The Buddypress Codex page that spelled out how to actually add the column. From there I added some custom coding to it to allow it to link to the membership page and accept the requests:

<?php

/* BuddyPress Custom Code */

// add the column
function groups_admin_add_custom_column( $columns ) {
     
    $columns["pending_group_members"] = "Join Requests";
     
    return $columns;
 
}
add_filter( "bp_groups_list_table_get_columns", "groups_admin_add_custom_column" );
 
 
// add the column data for each row
function groups_admin_custom_column_content( $retval = "", $column_name, $item ) {
     
    if ( "pending_group_members" !== $column_name ) {
        return $retval;
    }
     
     
    if ( "private" == $item["status"] ) {
         
        $user_ids = BP_Groups_Member::get_all_membership_request_user_ids( $item["id"] );
         
        return "<a href='". site_url(). "/groups/". $item["slug"] ."/admin/membership-requests/'>" . count( $user_ids) . "</a>";
    }
     
    return "-";
     
}
add_filter( "bp_groups_admin_get_group_custom_column", "groups_admin_custom_column_content", 10, 3 );

?>

Thanks for the reply,
so I can not use Buddypress e AE global templates elementor together?
