BuddyPress.org

@tech55541 would you mind sharing your knowledge with a newbie? I am running buddypress/bbpress and bbpress still haven’t added auto-suggestions (although they work fine in buddypress forms).

Should I add your code to my bp-custom.php? I get a ‘Fatal Error’ when I run it through a php-checker.

Would you lend me some advice about using this code you’ve kindly shared??

Just a follow up. I got the method from this link to work and it hides the “whats new” form from non-admins on the group page.

However, now I notice that users still get the group in their “Post in:” list on their personal activity page and can circumvent. So, trying to figure this part out next.

Anyone know how to restrict that dropdown?

Regarding registration, read the first two issues in this thread:

BuddyPress 3.1.0 is now available!

And see if it applies to you.

The settings bug sounds like it is theme-related:

Settings on profile not showing

I then deleted the register page, created a new one, saved my permalinks…and it was working about a month ago when I tested it, but I just got an email yesterday from someone who had the activation link error ????

What is the “activation link error”?

Sounds like this isn’t related to the ticket that Venutius linked to on Trac.

Read through the first two issues of the following link and see if it sounds like your problem, particularly the second one:

BuddyPress 3.1.0 is now available!

For a temporary workaround this worked for me:

buddypress\bp-templates\bp-nouveau\buddypress\groups\single\cover-image-header.php

line 62
<?php echo esc_html( bp_nouveau_group_meta()->description ); ?>

replace with:
<?php echo bp_nouveau_group_meta()->description; ?>

Have you looked at Auto Group Join? also Registration Groups? These could help you do what you achieve. Auto Group Join includes a handy admin page where you can arrange who is in what group.

Hiding the Group Activity (Home) page is a bit more involved, but one option could be to simply disable activity?

Ah, I’ve just realised which group avatar you are talking about, not the one I was thinking. in my system I was getting a group avatar right beside the group name, scrap my code.

That’s a function of BuddyPress, not of BP External Group Blocgs I reckon, Every activity post in the group will get that, not just the RSS feed items.

BTW You can fix it by switching back to the Legacy template pack from your BuddyPress Options Administration screen.

Hi @akkoxe,

I think your theme is using a custom buddypress/activity/post-form.php template as there are two textarea tags. Can you confirm ?

The error you get about the undefined message is there because the Nouveau JS Templates are not being included.

Ah, That’s an error I’ve been unable to fix, the test system I tried it out on I ended up completely reinstalling. I looked all over for what might be wrong but no joy, I think that it’s down to permalinks for the register page becoming corrupt.

I reported it on Trac here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7744

Maybe you can add to the ticket?

I take it you’ve done the usual and deactivated all other plugins apart from BuddyPress, switched to a default theme such as 2017?

Solution found, my problem has to do with the theme im using.

contacted theme creator and he said that the theme will be updated shortly and that the new buddy press will function normaly.

””
Reinstall it and should be ok.

Once the theme updated, the latest BuddyPress will be supported.
”’

Thanks all!!

No, check out the BuddyPress Tools options in Admin>>Tools>>BuddyPress

This first step is to deactivate all other plugins apart from BuddyPress and see if that fixes it, second step would be to try a default these such as 2017.

Hi Guys,

I got the same issue last time. You may want to check this topic how to resolve the said issue.

User Profile Settings page not working

We can only help if we can replicate the problem locally.

So far, I’ve been unable to duplicate this, which is why I ask you to switch your theme. If you don’t want to switch your theme, try changing your template pack to BP Legacy under “Settings > BuddyPress > Options” and see if your member settings page works again.

Thanks for the bug report.

I’ve created a ticket for this here – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7897

In the meantime, if you need this functionality working for whatever reason, you can change your template pack to BP Legacy under “Settings > BuddyPress > Options”.

Read the sticky thread:

BuddyPress 3.1.0 is now available!

Thanks for the report.

This looks to be the same as this issue – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/cant-post-in-activity-stream/

BuddyPress 3.0 dynamically loads up the registration page content when it lands on the registration page.

Depending on how PmPro is loading their overrides, they might need to do it at a later juncture than before. Tell them to load their code on 'bp_init' or later.

Thanks everyone for their reports.

This only affects the BP Legacy template pack. I’ve added a ticket for this here – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7896

The workaround above is fine for now, but here’s my potential fix for this – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7896/7896.01.patch
