@akswer Friend type is not part of current features. It’s not like regular WordPress Post category. It will need to be extended and need to add one more parameter for friends and add a new option for the user to add specific friend inside their list Like Inner Circle, Friend or Acquaintance. You can request for a feature inside https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/report
I’d like to remove the option of sending people emails when they get invited to a group. I know individuals can update their email notification settings, but I, as the admin would like to just eliminate the possibility of them getting an email when they get invited to a group.
Would I do that by going into the BuddyPress Email settings and just deleting that email titled: “You have an invitation to the group: “{{group.name}}”?
Or is there another way?
@shahriar83 bp_legacy_theme_hide_comments() already has a limit to display five roots comments at a time; you can find it inside /buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.js
You can also override it inside child theme.
Hi, I have installed various emailnotifications on several activtities within a BuddyPress-group.
However, a simple emailnotification to all group-members in case someone places a new update, is not one of the possibilities.
How do I achieve this?
Thanks for all help,
HAns
i use
wordpress vers- 4.9.5
buddypress vers- 2.9.4
@mseibel it might be possible you are looking for some option which you can use to filter out some words from activity and messages.

Hey @vapvarun. Thanks for your help. I don’t think this is the issue. It is not specific BuddyPress pages, it is anything, any feature, any shortcode, any widget associated with BuddyPress that people cannot see.
For example, if I login to the Get Started Page, there is a widget on the right with the BuddyPress shortcode, [bp_profile_gravatar dimension=125], and it doesn’t show up. There is also a Navigation bar at the top called “Profile” which links to the BP Profile page, and it doesn’t show up either.
But if I then click on ANY link on that Get Started Page, all of a sudden the missing BuddyPress features appear on the page. So they only disappear when someone initially logs in.
@niclovelace BuddyPress is translation ready and you can simply use Loco Translate plugin to translate any terms with the desired one from the plugin options.
No need to modify any codes.
@avaiya BuddyPress is translation ready and you can simply use Loco Translate plugin to translate any terms with the desired one from the plugin options.
@avaiya Try to make sure BuddyPress pages should be available for all membership levels. If a specific member is not able to view BuddyPress pages, it might be possible he/she is not part of particular membership level for which BuddyPress pages are available.
@rchatman If your theme is adding each action as new custom post type post submission.
You can go with https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/post-types-activities/ approach. I can also help with custom development.
I started a membership site a couple of weeks ago, using WP eMember, and we use BuddyPress for the social sharing aspect of our site.
If a member logs into the membership having been logged out for awhile, something weird happens. Right after they log in, none of the BuddyPress features show up on their page. For example,they can’t see their gravatar image, their profile navigation bar, and anything else associated with BuddyPress or a BuddyPress shortcode.
If they click on anything after logging in, then it’s like BuddyPress kicks in and they can then see everything associated with BuddyPress.
Does anyone know how this can be fixed?
@rastislavkr unless your problem is identical, down to the same plugin, please start your own new thread discussion next time. 🙂
Generally speaking, I believe BuddyPress should render third-party shortcakes in its theme compatibility templates. How easy is this to reproduce?
If it’s very quick and easy, and you provide step-by-step instructions, I may be able to investigate and see if it’s a bug in BuddyPress. No guarantees on timeline, though. 🙂
I suspect by now you’d have been able to duplicate them if you’d started manually. 🙂
There’s no built in functionality for this. You could have tried duplicating the rows in the database (not trivial unless you are familiar with MySQL), or perhaps seeing if you could automate something with the BuddyPress extension for WP-CLI: https://github.com/buddypress/wp-cli-buddypress
Short answer is WordPress has a totally crap email API, and it’s really hard to reliable filter the core WordPress emails. That’s a big part of the reason I wrote a modern email API for BuddyPress, because WordPress itself is doing a bad job.
Let me know if you think this is something we should prioritise. It’s been a while since we’ve improved the email system, and this might be a good reason for another pass.
Do not duplicate your requests for help. Volunteers here have limited time: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-page-title-remove/
Venutius, maybe we should look at bringing the shortcakes into BuddyPress core sometime.
By default, your theme’s page.php is used as the wrapper. In your theme, duplicate that file and rename it to buddypress.php. Then you can edit that wrapper template and it will only affect BuddyPress.
I am not sure why this might not work. I suspect, too, it is a conflict with some other plugin or theme that affects permalinks or page management, but it’s impossible to tell without actually working through the code and checking your database. Perhaps the theme, as you said you’ve tried disabling all plugins.
If you let me know your versions of WordPress and BuddyPress, and if your site has WordPress multisite enabled or not, or if you’ve customised any BuddyPress options via custom code, I’ll try to test on a similar site next week and just confirm if it actually works. I doubt that’ll help fix your issue, though, unfortunately.
You’ll need to be a reasonably competent developer, familiar with WordPress, to achieve this. There is some documentation at https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/bp_activity_add-2/ that might help you get started. Good luck!
Hi @jerrysmith212
Thanks for the kind words! BuddyPress does *use* a cron task for only one thing — if Activity component is active and you also have the Akismet plugin enabled, then there’s an integration between the two, and our cron task periodically tidies up old metadata.
We do nothing that I know of that affects WordPress’ cron system, let alone something that might break things.
(To clarify: we use WordPress’ “scheduled cron” API, like all plugins, not actual “Linux cron” jobs).
hello, first of all i would like to thank the developers for their brilliant work and power full tool with great features, I’ve installed and started begin to transform my site to new look with new features but i’m facing problems with cron jobes. i’m not sure if this problem is related to plugin or my new theme but since problem occurred I’ve already disabled buddypress and reverted to my old theme, can anyone please guide me if buddypress has anything to do with this or maybe its my theme.
Really thanks for your time
Jerry Smith
