I can’t get the escaped characters to appear in a way that reflects what BuddyPress is outputting to the screen.

To determine if the issue is in your theme, try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2013.
You’ll need to copy members-loop.php to a buddypress folder in that theme.

You can only echo the data if it exists.
Try:

$your_name = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Your Name' );
if ( $your_name != false ) 
   echo $your_name;

BuddyPress 2.5 made a lot of changes to how BuddyPress works with emails. We’ve been making incremental fixes and compatibility improvements in each release since, and we have v2.5.3 almost ready for sometime in the next couple of weeks or so.

People still having problems could try running https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/bp-email-to-wp-mail-from-bridge/ to see if it helps, but we have other fixes in place for v2.5.3 that aren’t provided by this plugin.

Thanks. This isn’t actually a bug in BuddyPress, but we flag it to reveal code in other plugins running at the wrong time because quite often this can cause very subtle problems in BuddyPress and other plugins.

We’ve very recently adjusted the messaging to make it clearer which plugin is causing us to trigger this notice: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/10709/

Hi @pixelpushermama – interestingly, no I’m not using any of the other plugins, only BuddyPress 2.5.2 and
bbPress 2.5.8

I’ve found a few other recent posts here on the support forums reporting similar issues but have yet to find a fix.

Hope someone can help us out soon. 🙂

Is BuddyPress the right tool for this simple approach to begin with?

It depends on the image you want for your network. For example, you can rename the groups to clubs, but this will not affect second level slugs. Look at my problem I am googling since two days and don’t find solution. I found threads of people that ask for slug customization since 5 years, but the problem is half-resolved, because the developers work at their free time for this and maybe they see other priorities I don’t see.

So if you want a very professional image, buddypress is not yet ready. If you don’t care about urls that mix clubs with groups, go for it. You can also look at Ultimate Member, another networking plugin, to see if it fits your needs.

It looks like you could have the path wrong. Instead of your_theme/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/entry.php, try:

your_theme/buddypress/activity/entry.php

Create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\register.php

And carefully adjust it to your needs.

A lot, maybe most BP sites are not commercial.

You may want to create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\activity\entry.php

To add content to the entries in the activity stream, use this hook in that file:
do_action( 'bp_activity_entry_content' );

If you need access to the activity content as part of your ad display decision chain, use the filter hook in buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-template/ :
apply_filters_ref_array( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', array( $activities_template->activity->content, &$activities_template->activity ) );

try using twentyfifteen default theme and activate only buddypress plugin…disable all other plugins and check if it works..in fact it should work…and as you are using a custom wplms theme get in touch with the theme author for theme related issues..this is not a buddypress issue

Some parts of BuddyPress use AJAX and some don’t. It’s common for plugin developers to add their own JavaScript, so feel free. See this article for info:

https://codex.wordpress.org/AJAX_in_Plugins

FYI wp_mail_from_name and wp_mail_from support are coming back in BuddyPress 2.5.3. Thanks to everyone’s feedback regarding this.

Can we get that from buddypress?

You sure can! The activity feed has AJAX built in so you shouldn’t see page reloading after posting a comment.

If there is ajax functionality, does it do a continuous ‘load more’ or will it paginate after a set amount of comments?

By default, a “Load More” button is displayed which when clicked will load the next 20 items. I believe the activity stream supports paginated pages, but don’t quote me on that right now because I’d need to check.

bbpress.php is handled by bbPress so you should give those guys a shout:

This issue may also be applicable to BuddyPress templates so it’s worth keeping this topic open.

apologies..misread it….following might help if you not gone through it:
