BuddyPress.org

We have released a plugin to help with GDPR compliance: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-gdpr/
This will be helpful for now, until there is a major BuddyPress release with these features.

Is there a date for a fix to BuddyPress for this issues?

You can try these patches https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7845

@shahriar83 You have already created a thread with BP activity plus support, Explain to them how to replicate the issue.

You can replicate the issue with Template Pack BuddyPress Nouveau after BP 3.0 install using WordPress Default theme “Twenty Seventeen” at singe group activity page.

I had some issues with this earlier too, using the code supplied in this thread should clear up your issue.

Here’s the code if you’re unable to click the link for some reason. You should put it in your bp-custom.php file.

function toa_check_page_reqiurement_and_lie_to_buddypress ($is, $component) {
    global $bp;
    if ($is || "activity" !== $component) return $is;
    if ((defined('BP_GROUPS_SLUG') && bp_is_groups_component() && 'activity' == $bp->current_action)){
        return true;
    }
    return $is;
}
function toa_setup_activity_filter () {
    add_filter('bp_is_current_component', 'toa_check_page_reqiurement_and_lie_to_buddypress', 10, 2);
}
function toa_teardown_activity_filter () {
    remove_filter('bp_is_current_component', 'toa_check_page_reqiurement_and_lie_to_buddypress', 10);
}
add_action('bpfb_init', 'toa_setup_activity_filter');
add_action('bpfb_add_cssjs_hooks', 'toa_teardown_activity_filter');

I am able to replicate the issue, You can report here once

@dannydlb You can try these patches https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7845

@geertbaven code might be written inside the template file of the theme
theme-name/buddypress/groups/single/home.php

You will need to remove bp_is_group_forum() code; you are not using forums that’s why it’s creating an issue.
Inside the latest version above code is removed, in core discussion developers had talked about it to put it back.

You can override edit page template inside the child theme
buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php
at following path
child-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php

Thanks a lot @sharebophar for your solution. I had to do a little of adjustment but it was right on the spot!

PROBLEM:
buddypress nouveau not sending activation email but buddypress nouveau sending correctly emails to user for notifications on manually activated users. So in my case the problem was ONLY that the validation email was not sent. I say ‘only’ from a technical perspective but from the user perspective was a VERY BIG issue. Again thanks @sharebophar for your solution
Also note that I am not running a wordpress multisite.

SOLVED:
Here are the steps I have employed:

STEP 1
a) browse to “/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php” in buddypress plugin directory
b) replace the code for ‘core-user-registration’ and ‘core-user-registration-with-blog’ with the following one

	'core-user-registration' => array(
			/* translators: do not remove {} brackets or translate its contents. */
			'post_title'   => __( '[{{{site.name}}}] Activate your account', 'buddypress' ),
			/* translators: do not remove {} brackets or translate its contents. */
			'post_content' => __( "Thanks for registering!\n\nTo complete the activation of your account, go to the following link: <a href=\"{{{activate.url}}}\">{{{activate.url}}}</a>", 'buddypress' ),
			/* translators: do not remove {} brackets or translate its contents. */
                        'post_excerpt' => __( "Thanks for registering!\n\nTo complete the activation of your account, go to the following link: {{{activate.url}}}", 'buddypress' ),
		),
		'core-user-registration-with-blog' => array(
			/* translators: do not remove {} brackets or translate its contents. */
			'post_title'   => __( '[{{{site.name}}}] Activate {{{user-site.url}}}', 'buddypress' ),
			/* translators: do not remove {} brackets or translate its contents. */
			'post_content' => __( "Thanks for registering!\n\nTo complete the activation of your account and site, go to the following link: <a href=\"{{{activate-site.url}}}\">{{{activate-site.url}}}</a>.\n\nAfter you activate, you can visit your site at <a href=\"{{{user-site.url}}}\">{{{user-site.url}}}</a>.", 'buddypress' ),
			/* translators: do not remove {} brackets or translate its contents. */
			'post_excerpt' => __( "Thanks for registering!\n\nTo complete the activation of your account and site, go to the following link: {{{activate-site.url}}}\n\nAfter you activate, you can visit your site at {{{user-site.url}}}.", 'buddypress' ),
		),

STEP 2

a) go to wordpress dashboard, settings, buddypress
b) select and run the ‘repair email’ option

STEP 3

all now works. I have been testing it with dummy users. I hope the whole explanation helps.

@geertbaven check following thread once

Groups and forum issue

Hi @filehippofree,

As a Quick fix, You can replace line 91 at following path
buddypress/bp-members/screens/register.php

if ( isset( $_POST[ 'field_' . $field_id ] ) ) {
						$_POST[ 'field_' . $field_id ] = trim( $_POST[ 'field_' . $field_id ] );
					}

with

if ( isset( $_POST[ 'field_' . $field_id ] ) && !is_array( $_POST[ 'field_' . $field_id ] )) {
						$_POST[ 'field_' . $field_id ] = trim( $_POST[ 'field_' . $field_id ] );
					}

Imagine a BuddyPress Template Pack as something analogous to a WordPress theme. You can’t have a child theme compatible with multiple parent themes.

And you can’t have a template pack compatible with multiple themes. I don’t think there is anything in the template hierarchy – like the named folders that you suggest – that would let you do this. I suppose we could add something but I do not think this would be a good thing for the project at the moment.

We have discussed a concept of multiple small template packs being active at the same time and we might want to support this sort of folder structure then. But not now.

@djpaul but lets say we want the THEME to remain compatible with both? would it be possible to switch between the 2 template packs for a theme having a the override/buddypress folder in order to modify bp templates and still have the theme stay compatible.

I can look for custom functions for each pack when i switch back and forth like so no? so that i can try to make them continue to work for each…

if(class_exists('buddypress')) {
  
  if( bp_get_theme_package_id()  == 'nouveau') { 
  my custom nouveau actions, functions and stuff
  enequeue custom nouveu.css
  } else {
  my custom legacy actions, functions and stuff
  enequeue custom legacy.css
  }

}

How to do this with the theme overrides in the theme/child theme’s /buddypress folder?

should this work?
/bp-nouveau/buddypress/…template overrides
/bp-legacy/buddypress/…template overrides

So in this way my theme can continue working with both packs…

I honestly don’t know of another plugin that does this. I took a look at that version today and it’s not only WordPress 3.0 that it needs to be updated for but some BuddyPress stuff as well.

Anyone know of a solution to help out Max with this? I’d think this is something others would appreciate as well.

Thanks!
