BuddyPress.org

I’m guessing you have disabled Search Engine Visibility in WordPress.

If you have, view the following:
https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-group-email-subscription/wiki#1-bbpress-doesnt-record-its-forum-posts-into-the-group-activity-stream--why

The problem is with the function used to generate the active member count.

On your site, you have a ton of inactive users, which is causing the SQL query to be very large. I’m guessing you installed BuddyPress on a really big site recently and your users haven’t logged in yet? I’m guessing your site has a ton of pending users that you haven’t deleted yet?

BuddyPress can do better here, but in the meantime, one way to mitigate this SQL query is to generate a script that will backfill an activity timestamp for all your inactive users one way to mitigate this query is to delete all your pending users (the ones that haven’t completed registration) like Shane mentioned. This will stop WPEngine from killing the query.

Your line numbers do not match up with v2.9’s, which is why I recommend re-installing. Not sure how re-installing will cause problems unless you have directly modified core files in the past.

Regarding bp-custom.php, a quick search on Google would have explained what to do with it. Regardless, here’s the link to find out more:

bp-custom.php

If the code snippet I provided didn’t work in your theme’s functions.php, it most likely will not work in bp-custom.php either.

The other potential issue is there might be a plugin conflict.

Did you try un-checking the ‘Blog & Forum Comments’ option
in wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress > Options

What would you need specific documentation for?

I would just recommend doing a file search within the /bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/ folder for certain things that you need to modify.

That way, you’ll be able to know what file to edit for template mods.

Cannot duplicate this.

You might have a javascript conflict.

Try disabling all plugins except BuddyPress and try again. If it works, then it’s a plugin conflict somewhere. If you’re running a custom theme that has purported BuddyPress support, also switch to a default WordPress theme.

What is the “latest buddypress version” for you?

If you were using v2.9.0, then the patch I linked to should apply cleanly. There should be no changes between your copy of /bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php and v2.9’s /bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php.

If your version is v2.9.0, then I would recommend re-installing BuddyPress from the wordpress.org plugins repository.

What version of BuddyPress are you running?

If you are not on v2.9.0, upgrade or upgrade on a test site if you need to before upgrading on your production site.

This is the BuddyPress support forum.
Have you tried asking on the bbPress support forum ?

The video showcases a plugin called BP-AUS, which is a 3rd-party plugin not officially affiliated with BuddyPress.

I cannot duplicate this report.

Can you test and see if this is due to a plugin conflict? Try disabling all plugins except BuddyPress to see if the problem still occurs.

Also try switching your theme.

You probably watched a video for a premium plugin.

BuddyPress doesn’t offer this functionality by default.

See:

Buddypress avatars are blurry for post authors

If this doesn’t fix the problem, let us know.

It might be the case that a plugin is overriding BuddyPress’ avatar URL, you could try the following in your theme’s functions.php or wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:

// Replace BP's avatar override filter at a higher priority:
remove_filter( 'get_avatar_url', 'bp_core_get_avatar_data_url_filter', 10 );
add_filter( 'get_avatar_url', 'bp_core_get_avatar_data_url_filter', 99, 3 );

different problem, but was told to post here:

When I try to create a group, I get to an error page (unlike you, I see the button). I figured there might be a problem with the link (It links to /groups/create).
I though it might be a problem with my permalinks, so I tried to update them, but nothing happens. Also, creation of new emails, for example, work without problems.
I installed the plugin as usual through the wordpress plugin directory. I’m running buddyPress 2.9.0 and Worpress 4.8.1

Hi,

Can you reply to this thread?

Users cant create groups

This is to prevent forking the discussion for a similar problem.

Thanks!

Edit: The link above has been updated. Pasted the wrong link before.

This is more of a WordPress question than something specific to BuddyPress. Try asking here https://wordpress.org/support/

This isn’t possible using BuddyPress by default but there are plugins that will help you do this.

In your experience how compatible is buddyboss?

I’ve used a good number of BuddyBoss plugins and themes with BuddyPress without problems. If you do find an issue be sure to report it to them, their support is very good.
