BuddyPress.org

We have 250,000 users and unless we deactivate BuddyPress – it’s extremely slow with BuddyPress?

I had posted this into forum but with no replies
Yet – current WordPress 5.0 and current BuddyPress.

Cloud SQL is running ar 100% we need to upgrade or contact buddy press team about the issue.
Please contact them and provide the below server details and ask for support.
1. Google Cloud VM Instance Ubuntu 18.04 (3.75 GB RAM)
2. PHP 7.2, Nginx + FastCGI cache, Opcache, Redis, WP-Rocket plugin
3. Cloud SQL for the database (3.75 GB RAM)

If you mean the Private Message button at the top of a profile page, then place this code in bp-custom.php or in your theme > functions.php

function lindsay_profile_button() {
?>
	<div class="generic-button"><a href="https://google.com" >go to google</a></div>
<?php
}
add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions', 'lindsay_profile_button', 25 );

If ‘Private Messaging’ means something else, then you need to talk to the creators of that code because it does not come from BuddyPress.

Did you read https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_notifications_add_notification/ ?

You’re right, there is no flag etc.
But having a ‘prevent’ flag on the call would not work, because the actual fetch is performed in the same function that does the grouping.
See get_grouped_notifications_for_user in bp-notifications\classes\class-bp-notifications-notification.php

So a flag that skips the $group_sql in that function would be useful.

You can open an enhancement ticket here. Reference this thread. Even better if you can attach a patch.

As you know, with Buddypress users see an email whenever someone sends them a message and they are offline. We have asked repeatedly to your support if Cometchat overrides BP’s direct messaging function at the basic pricing tier? Because Cometchat email notifications are according to your pricing menu are only available to the highest tier Enterprise pricing and that would cost $12,000 US per year! This functionality is something that Buddypress already does, free, so if CometChat ove rides this functionality then we cannot pay you $12,000 to get it back. Are we missing something? We have tried to ask your support this question but have not received a response. Thank you.

The first thing to do would be to deactivate all other plugins apart from BuddyPress and see if the fault remains. If it does then you need to check if you have overloaded the file by looking in wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/single/messages/compose.php, if this file exists then check permissions and file content, if it does not exist then check permissions of wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy or bp-nouveau/buddypress/members/single/messages/compose.php

PeepSo made a copy of BuddyPress and turned it commercial, as you pretty much describe.

i dont know why fields cant be duplicated in buddypress

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/home.php

This can take care of the top part at least, but not the page title. I’m still working on figuring that one out.

PS. I’m old school. I don’t use child themes.

On your profile, go to ‘Profile’.
You should see these tabs:

• View
• Edit
• Change Profile Photo
• Change Cover Image

The avatar is on the Change Profile Photo screen.

If you don’t see it, to narrow things down, try momentarily changing to a WP theme like 2016.
Also try changing the Template Pack in BuddyPress > Options

You’ve got a plugin installed that’s doing that, on it’s own BuddyPress allows non logged in users to see the members directory.

That was an example. If you allow header images, look in cover-image-header.php.
If you use the Nouveau template pack, then look in bp-templates\bp-nouveau\buddypress\members\single\, etc.

In BP, for example, look at this bp_displayed_user_avatar() in this file
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php

Hi Bradley,

My first thought is – what is ub_signup_password that does not look like it’s coming from WordPress or BuddyPress but it’s the root of the issue according to this trace.

@danbp bro, well you are hearing me right now ….i just updated buddypress few minutes ago it was working fine before update but now when i try to create anymore option select field it says: “The link you followed has expired.”

The fix is in this latest update.
BuddyPress 4.1.0 is now available:

BuddyPress 4.1.0 maintenance release

You can use any theme with BuddyPress.
There are some themes that place an emphasis on BuddyPress, for example BuddyBoss.
You can choose one of two template packs in wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress > Options > Template Pack.
And you can customize the BP templates – if you know how to write code.
More info here.

You’re referring to the About page on this site?

No, go to the websites or support sites for the plugins that you mentioned.
For example: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types

btw – probably a good idea to update BuddyPress. V. 3.0 is old.

It’s here, see the bottom of the page:
