BuddyPress.org

Its probably related to a bug in version 3.0 where the activation email template did not install. There is a fix in the latest version, 3.1, but you have to do the following:

Activation email problems

If you did a fresh install of BuddyPress 3.0.0 on a single-site install, the activation email would not be sent out because the activation email was not properly installed.

To fix this, upgrade to BuddyPress 3.1.0 and in the WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to “Tools > BuddyPress” and select the “Reinstall emails” option.

BuddyPress 3.0.0 “Apollo” is now available!

For Gravatar, you will need to modify

bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/members/single/profile/change-avatar.php

Replace

esc_html_e( 'Your profile photo will be used on your profile and throughout the site. If there is a <a href="https://gravatar.com">Gravatar</a> associated with your account email we will use that, or you can upload an image from your computer.', 'buddypress' );
with
_e( 'Your profile photo will be used on your profile and throughout the site. If there is a <a href="https://gravatar.com">Gravatar</a> associated with your account email we will use that, or you can upload an image from your computer.', 'buddypress' );

@vpsgeneral I am able to replicate the issue, you can edit

bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/members/activate.php

Replace sprintf with printf

sprintf(
							__( 'Your account was activated successfully! You can now <a href="%s">log in</a> with the username and password you provided when you signed up.', 'buddypress' ),
							wp_login_url( bp_get_root_domain() )
						)

with

printf(
							__( 'Your account was activated successfully! You can now <a href="%s">log in</a> with the username and password you provided when you signed up.', 'buddypress' ),
							wp_login_url( bp_get_root_domain() )
						)

Your theme needs to be updated.

Hi @optimized,

I was having a somewhat similar problem, which was due to a coding problem with the latest version of buddypress.

Do you have the activity feature of buddypress disabled? If so, then this is probably the same error I had. You can try activating the activity feature, or you can changed the code as indicated here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7870/7870.02.patch

I hope this helps.

Thanks

Some of this is how BuddyPress works out of the box, when you hit a button, that will cause a page load and you will go to the top of the screen. However it looks like something it triggering two page loads, so you click a button, the page loads and while you are scrolling down the page loads again. That’s not how BuddyPress works.

This second part all depends on how your bp pages have been set up. The first thing I would try would be to change your theme to a default theme such as 2017 and see if it still loads the page twice after you click a profile button.

Are these BuddyPress notifications you are talking about? How do they show on the homescreen?

BP does not provide a leaderboard.

You just need to make a change inside

@anas9279 you cannot approve them now, I just checked There are no editors for BuddyPress project, yet.https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ar/default/wp-plugins/buddypress, You can apply on the same page.

Hi there @vapvarun and @denniscabasal I’ve had the same issue. The issue becomes resolved when I revert back to Buddypress 2.9.4. Given that Dennis and I had the same issue and the resolution was the same I believe that the issue lies with the Buddypress 3.0.0 update.

I had the same problem and was following the fix too, but I made a copy of that file in my child theme under my-theme-name/buddypress/bp-members/screens/register.php. I didn’t want to change it in the original plugin file, but it’s not working. Is modifying the original plugin file ok? I’m not sure why my copied version in my child theme isn’t working??

@orribu you can check these fixes
