BuddyPress.org

Hello, if emails are being sent (you’re receiving them at a Yahoo address), then my first guess would be that gmail is treating the mails as spam. Look in your spam folder to see if they’re there.

There are a number of ways to improve deliverability, but that’s beyond the scope of BuddyPress. You might read up on the topic at SparkPost or one of the other bulk email providers.

To change items, see the link I referenced: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/navigation-api/#change-item-names-of-users-and-groups-nav-menus

BuddyPress adds the friends button via the action:

add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions', 'bp_add_friend_button', 5 );

You’re saying “follow” so I’m assuming that you’re using a plugin that modifies the basic BP behavior. You might check to see that that plugin doesn’t unhook the bp_add_friend_button() from the member header. Otherwise, the friendship button appears in the member header in BP’s default themes.

You can also try the BuddyPress email reinstallation tool if you’re having problems. It’s in WP Admin at Tools > BuddyPress, like /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bp-tools.

Hi @destac-

Please open a ticket on trac: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

which is a better place to suggest improvements to BuddyPress.

Thanks!

I’m note sure how your custom roles were created, so I can’t tell you how to figure out if the current user is one or the other, but basically, you’ll be using code like this:

function bpcodex_remove_member_tab_on_role() {
  $role = 'owner;
  if ( 'owner' == $role ) {
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'messages' );
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' );
  }
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpcodex_remove_member_tab_on_role' );

note that this will not work as is–you need to be able to get the current user’s role, dependent on how you’re doing that. However, the simpler answer is that if you’re not using the friends and messages components, just turn them off in the BuddyPress settings in wp-admin.

Hi @katmacau-

Here are some examples for changing navigation menus using the new API:

Navigation API

This is what I’m guessing you’ll want to use:

function bpcodex_remove_member_notifications_tab() {
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'notifications' );
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpcodex_remove_member_notifications_tab' );

One question though: if you’re not using the notifications, why not just turn off the notifications component in the BuddyPress settings screen in wp-admin?

Hi there. If I’m understanding correctly, you’re wanting to modify URLs added to profile fields by your users. The profile fields are analyzed for search links and other links here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.3/src/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-filters.php#L326

BP uses the WP function make_clickable() to make links clickable. It doesn’t look like that function is filterable at the moment (there’s a ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32787). I guess you could do something using the filter offered on the forum link you reference, but I’m not sure how you’d know which kind of links to modify (it’s not clear from your question what the goal is).

Hi @ottiya
If you want to play with the HTML of the Buddypress members, you will have to look at the Buddypress directory located in your child theme. As I can see from your source code, you are using child theme of weta (weta-child).

1. Login to your web server (web host) and browse the files
2. Go to your website directory and navigate to wp-content > themes > weta-child
3. If you find a directory named buddypress. You can go inside and start editing the templates. As @djpaul suggested the article, you can start editing the files accordingly.

Your questions are related to editing the member profile cover section. You can go to directory buddypress > members > single > cover-image-header.php of your child theme and edit.
Thanks

Same here and I have tried everything. Users are nor receiving the activation email, I can’t resend them, they can only register if I activate manually.

Latest versions of WP and BuddyPress, restored emails, no plugins conflicts, not sending via SMTP either…

There are a lot of people with this issue, not only Shawn and me. This used to work, suddenly failed and no idea what to do to solve it.

Please help, if someone finds out what’s happening please let us know!

I’ve fixed this bug, and it will be included in BuddyPress 3.0, which is probably two or three months away.

@ngoegan the logic in the Buddypress is correct why an user would like to go to register page when he is already registered and logged in. According to your stated problem your can make register page as static homepage and add the above code in your child’s theme function file or bp-custom.php. It will redirect all your logged in user to activity page.
To know about how to add bp-custom file read this beautiful post

@richard2001 Could you please elaborate your situation.
To my understanding
1. If you are not receiving email, the probable cause could be with the server hosting. Kindly create an email account with your server hosting and use the same email account in the WordPress. Go to Settings > General to change default email address.
2. Go to Buddypress setting and check if the Notification option is checked.

@ngoegan add the following code in your child theme’s function file. It modifies default behavior and redirect user to activity page. Link to the source of code

function bbg_bp_loggedin_register_page_redirect_to( $redirect_to ) {
    if ( bp_is_component_front_page( 'register' ) )
        $redirect_to = bp_get_root_domain() . '/activity';

    return $redirect_to;
}
add_filter( 'bp_loggedin_register_page_redirect_to', 'bbg_bp_loggedin_register_page_redirect_to' );

Ok, I’ve deactivated all plugins except for Buddypress and it is still not working. Is there a setting or something that should be de/activated to get it to show the situations ? It’s getting quite urgent now, so if you have any ideas please let me know – thanks !!
