@keyfox You can try testing by using either the default 2022 or BuddyX theme. After switching to a different theme, performing the same action will help you determine whether the issue is related to the theme or BuddyPress.

Hi @imath,
Even though I have already done this, I have done it again. With all plugins deactivated apart from Buddypress, the reply button still does not display. I have also wiped the style.css of my child theme, removed all functions from the child theme functions.php, renamed bp-custom so it is not in play, and removed any buddypress files I had in my child theme – still no reply button. I have removed everything extraneous. I have switched to the parent Blocksy theme and it still isn’t there. When I examine the html in the inspector, the code just isn’t there to generate the reply button. Attached are two images showing this while in my child theme and everything else turned off apart from Buddypress. But it is the same with just Blocksy parent theme

I have also tried with the 2023 theme, attachments below.

This is all with the beta 3 that I upgraded yesterday, on the latest Firefox on a Mac running the latest OS. Just to make sure it was neither browser or device, I also looked on my Android phone using the Opera browser, and that screenshot is attached below.

So, please, what do I do now?

Hi @imath,
Thanks for your response – I’m sure you are very busy. The problem I have is that the BP Classic plugin causes a problem with the menu, as noted earlier in this thread – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/lets-prepare-the-buddypress-12-0-0-next-major-release/#post-331198 – and acknowledged by you – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/lets-prepare-the-buddypress-12-0-0-next-major-release/#post-331239 – but I haven’t seen any more mention of it. It isn’t really an issue until those deprecated functions stop working, but it is an extremely tedious task to trace where they are being used if it is a plugin as the debug log gives no clues at all except when the function was used. I will have a look at the list (thank you) to see if that is any help. If the issue with the BP Classic plugin can be looked at and fixed in the meantime I would be grateful – this could be another Blocksy issue so again, if you can speak to them it would be most appreciated, as they don’t want me to tell them until the non-beta version of BP is released, whereas you will have a clear idea what is and isn’t going to be in the final version and can raise it with them to look at – they may highlight something you are not aware of that needs doing before final release that might be something that affects many other themes. Can you also let me know what has happened to my post regarding the comment reply link? It still hasn’t appeared.

Unrelated to my earlier posts, I was doing some debugging on another plugin, and was getting a lot of warnings and deprecated messages regarding a couple of BP functions, most of which I have been able to track down in my code; however one in particular persists, as follows;
PHP Deprecated: Function bp_core_get_user_domain is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 12.0.0! Use bp_members_get_user_url() instead
It would be useful for me, and I am sure others, if the full list of deprecated functions is made available, as well as anything that uses them, because several of the ones I was using were not the exact function appearing in the debug log, but changing them (because I thought they might be the ones triggering the warning or deprecated message) did cut the number of messages in the debug log. I still don’t know for certain though. It would also be useful to have a complete list of available functions and what they do, particularly those that would be commonly used, all in one place – if this is available already, I can’t find it, so apologies if that is the case. Previous changes, inconsistencies and the sheer amount of old information that is still out there, including these forums, makes it extremely difficult to find the right function in the right circumstance, which I assumed, perhaps wrongly, was a part of why the new Buddypress is needed.

Some feedback on BP 12.0.0-beta2 though please treat with caution!

Local Install – Local, php 8.2.10 – MySQL 8.0.16 – WP 6.3.1 – BP Version 12.0.0-beta2

a lot of plugins!!

Buddyx theme NouveaU template only or Thaim theme i use Legacy template.

Not a coder or developer.

Just a general interest in BuddyPress
Not in any way dependent. a hobby!

1) Bottom line – With BP Classic all appears good.

2) When BP Classic is not active plugins like buddydrive, buddypress-group-calendar, buddypress-group-email-subscription and bp-idea-stream no longer appear in Group Navigation.

However Q&A from Anspress still appears in Group Nav & works when BP Classic is not active

https://imgur.com/b8yu3fi yes-bp classic active

3) The plugins (with exception of BuddyPress Group Calendar) do appear in the Group Nav —> Manage. (see https://imgur.com/DCYvcOT)

4) Also another (non-buddypress plugin) that interests me a reasonably popular (codecanyon) directory plugin ‘Sabai’ – well, essentially all its data vanishes when bp-attachments is active in BP 12.0.0-beta2 without BP Classic. The message is “it seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.”

5) If bp-attachments is not active (say replaced with mediapress or with mediatheque) in BP 12.0.0-beta2 the Sabai data is unaffected but the non updated plugins (mentioned in 2 above) are ineffective

6) In wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-settings options–attachments the last two choices (see pic https://imgur.com/00yZYna) if clicked to include the choice is NOT saved. Also buddydrive appears in p-admin/admin.php?page=bp-settings options

However everything INCLUDING bp-attachments appears to work safely & pristine with BP Classic active

bp-attachments not used with legacy template

Many Thanks for all the work on BuddyPress.

Hi @imath,
Further to my post on this thread (https://buddypress.org/support/topic/lets-prepare-the-buddypress-12-0-0-next-major-release/#post-331256) regarding the Reply button, I have tested and done all the troubleshooting I can, and there is nothing that brings the Reply link/button on comments back. From everything I have done I have eliminated all plugins, custom functions and css as being the cause, so this is a fairly major problem for me, that does not occur on the non-beta Buddypress. Unfortunately if I try to even preview another theme I get a critical error, so I can’t eliminate Blocksy as the cause; however on my live site the Reply link is there whether it is the Legacy or Nouveau theme, so something appears to be conflicting between Blocksy and the beta version of BP, given that your test with Twenty Twenty Two did not have this issue. Can you or someone talk to Blocksy and try to work out the various issues that exist between that theme and BP please? I have done what I can and really need some assistance now.

Secondly, I found that it wasn’t possible to add a main menu link for the currently logged-in user that remains visible at all times. Although I created a custom link, it only appeared in the menu when viewing specific sections (such as Profile, Activity, etc).

Thirdly, I encountered difficulties in adding a sidebar to any of the Buddypress pages, despite my default Blocksy setting for each page to have one. Upon investigation, I discovered that in the Customizer, Buddypress pages were being counted as Blog Posts. Intuitively, I would have expected this setting to be configured in the Buddypress-specific sections. As it stands, without extensive CSS modifications, this means Blog Pages and Buddypress pages will always have to share the same layout.

I’m curious if you’re considering incorporating enhancements or additional features in the Customizer at some point. In my experience, I’ve needed to make a significant number of CSS adjustments to align Buddypress with my desired color scheme and preferences in previous versions. It would be immensely helpful if at least some of this could be achieved through Customizer settings or a dedicated settings page within the plugin. Historically, Buddypress hasn’t adhered to my theme defaults, but I’m uncertain if this is specific to the theme I use or if it’s a widespread experience.

Old post, but I think the behavior you see is WP-driven. The reason I say that is that I have disabled the REST API for WordPress and the link above (e.g. /wp-json/buddypress/v1/members/3) or similar do not retrieve any data.

I used guidance from this SO article.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41191655/safely-disable-wp-rest-api

Having just installed the Activitypub plug-in I hope as the next version of BuddyPress is being developed some consideration is given to added hooks to connect BuddyPress to ActivityPub. It seems to me this would catapult BuddyPress firmly into the future of social media and social internet community.

I am also looking for a way to set a noindex tag on all buddypress member profile pages and addes the above code to my functions.php file, but it doesn’t work.
Could you please advise where to place the code exactly?
