BuddyPress.org

@danbp thanks for your reply. its highly appreciated. I understand its bit unnecessary.

Am using a custom home page via BuddyPress Groups Extras. So on my site the home page for groups is gpages which doesnt have a slug in the URL which is great.

now my second tab is “Home” which i renamed to “Activity”. This is also fine. But the slug of Activity page is “home”. so when i click on the activity tab the URL in the broswer shows group/name/home.

I believe the previous versions of BP the home page was actually named as Activity right?

the only way i can fix this is via hacking the core BP file bp-groups-loader.php

// Add the "Home" subnav item, as this will always be present
			$sub_nav[] = array(
				'name'            =>  _x( 'Activity', 'Group screen navigation title', 'buddypress' ),
				'slug'            => 'activity',

Thanks once again

According to bbpress, this is a BuddyPress thing. They don’t think notifications hooks up with bbpress subscriptions.

In case it wasn’t clear, I’m talking about “Notifications,” the BuddyPress feature. The little pop-up number balloons. Not emails (to which one can subscribe). When I search support forums I see that people use these terms very loosely, but I was trying not to do that!

B) new activity items going forward

The premise of my client’s site is basically Twitter, but for quotes. A user can enter a quote that their friend said, then tag their friend (assuming the friend has an account) and attribute the quote to them.

The quote will then appear in the activity stream, along with the tagged user’s avatar and username.

I figured BuddyPress would be my best bet for this, since it allows users to add friends and @mention other users, but now I’m a bit lost as to how to manage what my client it looking for.

Hi @danbp
Bad news. I deactivated all plugins and activated WP theme 2015. All works well. I only activated BP 2.3.3. and the activity stream already gives me exactly the same error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 7680 bytes) in xxx/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php(147) : runtime-created function on line 1

Seemingly I am the only one with this problem. Should I proceed to a completely fresh install ?

Update:

I tried to disconnect the plugin and the uploader is now available. However my customization and custom loop is no longer applicable. I really like the plugin but sadly I need to let it go.

I will this one

@danbp : I am checking my error logs generated by the server. I have a large amount of
“PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /hermes/bosoraweb076/b2865/ipg.skvirlcom/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/classes/class-bp-xprofile-field-type-multiselectbox.php on line 126”

Can it be related to the problem or is this something else ?

@shanebp @henrywright
it’s a buddypress bug, I’ve added a fix here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bug-report-class-bp-attachment-avatar-php/
hope it will be included on next update (soon)

Just a quick follow up, I removed the “BuddyPress Members only” plugin and added a different one to restrict page access and everything works now. It seems the issue was with the plugin.

@danbp: I already had done the deactivation/activation procedure. It was inconclusive because it depended on which plugin I would activate first which one would create the error.

The debug mode indeed gives a clue. The error message in the activity stream in the dashboard is:
“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 7680 bytes) in …/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php(147) : runtime-created function on line 1”

I already had asked Ipage to up my memory limit and they had increased it to 128MB. Seemingly even that is not enough. I am surprised how much memory is needed with this little plugins. How much should I ask for now knowing that I still want to include Paid Memberships Pro ?
Thank you for your support !

I tried adding a new field group as instructed in this page https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/modifying-the-registration-form/ but i couldn’t see them on the /registration page. How do i make them visible on the registration page?

Hi danbp

I’ve read through that before and it doesn’t sound so easy to me.

I’m not a PHP, BuddyPress or WordPress expert I’m afraid, so editing core files is not something I feel comfortable doing. Plus if I wanted to add an image where would I do that? That’s why I was hoping there was a way to do this using a template file as I want to do more than just change the page title.

I don’t know how to generate a .MO file and I wouldn’t know how to edit a .PO or a .MO file either or what to put in them.

If you offer any further support, that’d be great.

So far, I’ve copied this file: buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php into my child theme and edited it and added content form tips where I want them, but I’m still left with the ‘Create an Account’ text at the top that I can’t get rid of – any ideas?
