BuddyPress.org

I’m facing the same issue. It was working fine with earlier versions of BuddyPress, but now when you click “Go to the discussion” link in the email, it redirects to the 404 page.

BuddyPress Version 3.1.0 (latest version)

Can this be resolved within BuddyPress by adding a hook in functions.php or buddypress-functions.php file? Don’t really want to install a redirect plugin, as we still need a 404 page to show.

Thanks,
Erik

Please use the code button when sharing code.

When extending Groups, you should use the BP_Group_Extension.
It’s easy to use and handles creation of nav items.

It’s safe to deactivate BuddyPress, you will lose the BP features but they will come back after you reactivate the plugin, so you can do it quickly to test then reactivate it.

The code to activate a user can be found here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.1.0/src/bp-members/screens/activate.php?marks=98#L62
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.1.0/src/bp-members/bp-members-functions.php#L1798

It would be great if you are able to set up a fresh install of WordPress and BuddyPress to see if your activation problems are because of some custom code on your site.

How are your users logging in?

What happens if you deactivate BuddyPress? Do login attempts work? If not, it’s not a BuddyPress issue.

About the code that is linked:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/11766/trunk/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/activate.php

If your theme contains either a /buddypress/members/activate.php or /registration/activate.php file, you replace red lines with green lines. If your theme does not have any of these files, then you don’t need to make any changes.

If you are still running into trouble, change your theme temporarily to see if your theme is the issue.

If you want to roll back to an older version, you can do so on the following page:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/advanced/

Under “Previous Versions”, select 2.9.4 and replace the copy on your server with that one.

Hello!

Someone knows if the code still working with the version 3.1.0?

I remember to have used the code from @lenasterg with the version 2.9.4 and was working perfectly but now with a website running the version 3.1.0 the code doesnt redirect the old setting URL to setting/notification anymore.

I am looking for a way to remove the general tab and redirect the setting URL to notifications. I already have a page where users can change their password so have two places where someone can edit the same information is a bit confusing.

MOD EDIT – View the following thread for updated info:

Removing Settings General tab redirect to Other Tab

Check if you’ve set the buddypress members directory page in WP admin – Settings – BuddyPress – Pages – members

@billysgtr @venutius this is really cool news as i need the exact same feature (only authors can send private messages on buddypress) …..how do i go about getting the latest version? is it an official plugin now?

You are using v2.9.1. Your issue is addressed in BuddyPress v3.0.0 as we have stopped activating accounts by direct URL.

Activation now requires a form submission when you are on the activation page.

Actually, that does not work, I must have it wrong. The easiest way is to go to your menu edit page, and select profile in the BuddyPress options, these may be hidden so you will need to go to screen options and select BuddyPress

This plugin does something similar, you might like to check it out

That’s not a feature that is supported right now. The issue is that bp does not store the activation code for the user, so it can’t look up the activation code and know it’s the right one but has already been activated for that user. I think you would need to raise a feature request on Trac for that.

With bp you can overload the user profile pages and replace their code with your own. The templates are located in the plugins/buddypress/bp-templates directory, either bp-legacy or bp-nouveau depending on your config. in that directory you would look in buddypress/members/single and you will see the various profile templates. You overload these by creating alternative files in themes/my-child-theme/buddypress/members/signle/ etc..

If you have FTP access, you can rename the plugs/buddypress directory to something else, this will stop BuddyPress from loading and that should get you working. If that works you will then need to work out why it failed, but I guess it’s one step at a time.

I think this is related to this bug report:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7923

A number of html outputs were escaped using esc_html() which caused the links to go wrong. Should be fixed in the next update.

It’s not actually checking for the bbPress forum, it’s checking for a forum that no longer exists in BuddyPress, which is why it’s failing.

500 error

You can report issues on Trac at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

The username and password you use here should work.

BuddyPress can’t do this out of the box but it is very developer friendly. If you are comfortable with PHP and JavaScript you could extend to add this custom functionality.

That function has been deprecated, it simply needs to be deleted, are you sure it’s in BuddyPress/members/…? Typically it’s an overload of this file that is at issue, check with your theme creator to see if they need to update.
