BuddyPress.org

All right. Everything is working now. I did NOT refresh the domain as mentioned in a prior post. Here is what I did:

1. From wp-admin, I deactivated Jet Pack plugin.

2. Set plugin folder back to “BuddyPress” (we previously set it to use -old suffix).

3. From wp-admin, reactivated BuddyPress

4. Confirmed that BuddyPress DOES work.

5. From wp-adminm, reactivated JetPack.

6. Confirmed BuddyPress STILL works.

There seems to be some unknown defect/inconsistency between the BP and JetPack plugins.

Note that there are other threads in this forum about JetPack problems that indicate SSO needs to be turned off. In my case, it wasn’t on, so that doesn’t seem to be the same problem.

Hope this situation and resolution helps someone else.

Best regards! CHUCK

@vapvarun did change to activate BuddyPress at the network level, but only https://lt.johocen.com/ will not display the toolbar, the other 2 sites are OK.

Will it be conflict with the theme used? where should i look into?

Your suggestion is highly appreciated.

@venutius you were right on the money! This worked. Now a member can see their Friends menu item even when they’re on another member’s profile but without having access to the other member’s friends. And you said it was gonna be difficult. Hah! 🙂
Thank you yet again!

function hide_friends_tab() {
	global $bp;
	if ( !bp_is_my_profile() && !is_super_admin() ) {
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' ); 

		bp_core_new_nav_item( 
    	        array( 
                'name' => __('Friends', 'buddypress'), 
                'slug' =>  $bp->friends->slug, 
                'position' => 50, 
                'show_for_displayed_user' => false,
                'default_subnav_slug' => 'friends'
    ));
	
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'hide_friends_tab', 15 );

I don’t understand.

Isn’t all the xProfle extra information part of Buddypress?

I haven’t installed an extra plugin that has anything to do with xProfiles.

AFAIK.

I just disabled BuddyPress from the Network > Dashboard > Plugins

and the registration page started working. It was showing BuddyPress fields and I was wondering how this could be happening since I just disabled it.

I checked out the main sites plugins and BuddyPress is activated there. So my question is, could it have been double activated? Once on the website and once in the network? I have a multisite operation. Where should it be activated? Network or on the actual site?

Thanks for writing, @chuxmark. I wish I could help you but I still don’t have a solution myself. I’d appreciate if someone from @buddypress was available to help, especially since this problem appears to be widespread.

Hi @vapvarun @djpaul,

I just tested out that action and it worked!

However, when I go to the members’ search page it’s using the 50px x 50px image, causing distortion: http://mobileweb.guru/webdev/crowdwel/members/.

Also, when I upload an avatar it changes the filename changes. I believe it is important to have keywords in the image file name, so why does BuddyPress change the file name? And is there a way to customize the alt tag of the images?

Thank you for your time,

James

Thank you Vapvarun for the reassurance on MailGun.

I had a few quick follow-up questions, I was hoping you could help me with:

1. Do you recommend I go into “maintenance mode” before switching the email service to Mailgun or do you have any other workflow suggestions for making the email service change on a very active site?

2. When a member gets a site generated notification is the sender email always the site email, even if it’s to notify them of a message from another member, in other words, is one MailGun account (subject to the email limit I purchase) going to do the trick for a large buddypress membership site?

3. When a member messages a member inside the site, is this through their email?

And if you have any documentation on this that would be great too. I’m having trouble trying to understand how email/notifications/messaging in a buddypress site functions, and then in turn how to solve our problem of exceeding our hosts* 500 per day email limit.

Thank you again!

*Interestingly GetFlyWheel use SendGrid but when I contacted SendGrid they referred me to MailGun

Thank you for your reply…

comment action need to update based on Activity Type

This may be true (if I’m understanding correctly), however, the notification seems to be coming from Buddypress since it is the standard email that is generated when ANY response is made on ANY update. Somehow I want to filter this out so that comments on rtmedia updates generate a different email which I suspect may have as much to do with Buddypress as it does with rtmedia (although I am also waiting for support there too)…

If anyone has any suggestions as to a filter(?) perhaps that I could use, I would be very grateful.
