BuddyPress.org

Further details:

The problem is the same for n dashes, m dashes, and any other type of HTML entities. The issue is only occurring in the messages on the Messages summary page.

The snippet in the BP function that truncates the message and appends the list with the ellipsis is as follows:

function bp_create_excerpt( $text, $length = 225, $options = array() ) {

	// Backward compatibility. The third argument used to be a boolean $filter_shortcodes.
	$filter_shortcodes_default = is_bool( $options ) ? $options : true;

	$r = bp_parse_args(
		$options,
		array(
			'ending'            => __(  ' [U+02026] '  , 'buddypress' ),
			'exact'             => false,
			'html'              => true,
			'filter_shortcodes' => $filter_shortcodes_default,
			'strip_tags'        => false,
			'remove_links'      => false,
		),
		'create_excerpt'
	);

I should also mention that putting Buddypress blocks in the content will also not display anything, however on other pages not related to buddypress it works fine.

I am using Youzify, but that doesn’t change the look of what I showed you. That’s how I hide the tab.

BuddyPress looked like that as soon as I activated it, and before I installed Youzify.

Edit: I’d describe myself as an advanced beginner, and realize there’s exponentially more that I don’t know about both WP and BP than what I do know. I definitely don’t have the skills to change anything on BP beyond what I can do in Youzify, so I absolutely didn’t go in and mess with code or even too many settings.

Heh that’s BuddyPress. That’s what popped up when I installed and activated the plugin. I’m sure the theme has hijacked some stuff. I’ll check in with the designers.

Thanks!

Definitely no plugin. I installed BuddyPress, and that’s what it looked like out of the box.

I’m using a theme called Magnolia, which is built on Genesis I believe.

I don’t know if that’s helpful.
