BuddyPress.org

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. 🙂

Did you read: https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/custom-emails/

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:

Hello People, I have a similar problem, change-cover-image does not work. This happens with every theme. I have two installations of wordpress, one works (installed locally) and a remote one in the web server which does not work.

Making test with buddypress style I installed plugins as follows:

BuddyPress Profile Tabs
BuddyPress – New UI

Both currently deleted. I cannot say change-cover-image was working before the plugins above.

What I can say is that some strange characteres are displayed before and after the select-file frame as follows:

Before:” /*Subir/*]]>*/
/*Hacer foto/*]]>*/

/* ”

After:” /*]]>*/ ”

I included the quotes. JIC my installation is in spanish.

Thanks a lot in advance people

There is one other tweak that’s coming up in BuddyPress 2.5.3 (not sure when it’ll be released, would guess a week or two) that might address it. After 2.5.3, BuddyPress should be identical with WordPress in terms of compatibility with the majority of plugins that help WordPress support SMTP.

For the record, if you’re running a plugin that defines wp_mail() that helps you have WordPress’ emails be sent, then it just won’t work with BuddyPress.
