Hi,
For years I’ve been using a custom group tab to display posts related to groups, using the code as posted on BuddyPress Codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/add-custom-tab-to-groups-directory/
A few days ago, when I updated to BuddyPress 3.1.0, this code stopped working and all I get is a incomplete page like this: https://mude.vc/desafios/musculacao/posts/
How do I fix it? Will the Codex be updated?
Does this fix still work for you? My buddypress registration emails still don’t go out but the Post SMTP test emails do.
Hello i am actively using buddypress social media, but my website keeps crashing everyday and buddypress taking 30 cpu core and exhausting memories always on vps.
In log is keeps running too many ajax and php instance. Please we need urgent personal help to solve this issue and we have increased our vps to the limits and this keeps happening.
Hi,
In our solution the chamber of commerce will have member organisations and each organisation can have individual accounts.
The the organisations will be members of different groups such as banking, shipping, law, etc.
How can we set this up structure in BuddyPress ?
Thanks,
Mike
@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??
Thanks. I looked at Auto Group Join, and am considering it. Registration Groups hasn’t been updated in a long time, so I’m a bit leery of that. I’ve also tried bbPress Private Groups, but I’m finding forum accessibility to be oddly inconsistent.
At the moment, I’m looking at:
1. Just BuddyPress – create lots of overlapping single-purpose groups.
2. Just bbPress & Private Groups – forget about the social aspect and just use structured fora.
3. Social media – give up and use a Google Group, Google+ community, or even [gulp] a Facebook group.
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!
Hi,
im wondering what´s currently the best practise SEO setup/solution for BP3.x
if my information is correct, for example, Yoast SEO still does not cover BP related pages and features like the activity stream, profile pages and groups, correct?
in the past i used some mods based on
Making WordPress SEO plugin compatible with BuddyPress Part 2
but i am not sure if this is still state of the art.
i really like Yoast SEO and use it for my members blogs as default but whats the best solution for BP, are there any new mods or plugins available?
tnx, Eric
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; ?>
reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/esc_html
Hi,
Maybe it is just me, but I have noticed that any upgrade to BuddyPress 3.0 and upwards stops users from registering to the website. It also crashes the user setting.
Just for your information if this has happened to you. Just revert back to the 2. and you should be fine. Best
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?

Goal
I’m trying to devise a simple, socially-oriented discussion space that has some invitation-only groups, and specific private fora for specific topics, but that is easy to enter and manage.
Structure
My initial thought was to have two groups:
Fans – open group
Various fora – all open
Contributors – invitation-only group
Specific fora and sub-fora – all private. For example:
Project forum 1 – open only to some members of the Contributors group
Project sub-forum A – open only to some members of the Forum 1 group
I’m finding that the groups and fora are hard to administer. I’d like to be able to simply check some boxes on the back end to define which site members belong to which groups and fora. Instead, they have to join, then I have to invite them (through the front end) to each group and to each forum and sub-forum. It’s slow and tedious.
Infrastructure
I had thought that using both BuddyPress and bbPress would give me what I want, and it does function, but it’s unattractive and awkward to manage. Some specific issues:
- Group ‘forum’ – each group has its own discussion space aside from the fora. I’d like to force people to use the fora instead.
- Signup – as noted, it’s very awkward to manage memberships in groups and fora; too much so for anyone to realistically sign up for the site, join a group, join a forum, join a sub-forum. I know who should be where; I’d like to manage all or most of this on the back end.
- Forum font size – is very small. While this seems a small detail, I’ve tried altering every font setting in my theme, and none seem to affect this.
Questions:
- Am I using the right tools? Would just bbPress or just BuddyPress be better?
- Are there specific plugins I should be using? I’ve seen some that look useful, but many are out of date. Some aren’t described with much specificity. I’m not sure which would do what I want.
Advice much appreciated.
(Also, any free themes that would work well, so that fora aren’t pushed way down the page.)
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

Thank you for a quick response, @venutius! How would I just reinstall the BP Emails? Would I have to reinstall the entire BuddyPress plugin?
Hello friends!
I am using Version 3.1.0 of BuddyPress and I can not delete the profile fields. I click to delete the Short Description and Long Description fields, but it reinserts these fields with different ID. I have already tried the Database and also does not delete.
Is this a BUG?
How do I delete these profile fields?
Regards
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.
