This doesn’t need enhancement, as it is a unique string. You can modify it to your need very easily by using the language file (read here)
The exact phrase used in BP 2.2.3.1 is:
There was an error sending that message. Please try again.
If you see “cant send a message”, you use an old BP version or a third party plugin. Check for this first if it is the case.
FYI, there is also a ticket about error message, so consider your question as “work in progress”…
Hi Dan,
Yep, I’m using Weaver Extreem with the Black/White sub theme, with the sceenshot below showing how messages look, it looking like the plugin is somehow overwriting the theme. As you can see, you can’t read alternate messages, with me having the same problem with Woo Product pages with the tabs.
I’ve had this problem before with Weaver II, (an older version of Extream), & Woo-Commerce and it was an & that I had to edit out of some code somewhere, the person who told me that had to be done, (something that worked), saying they couldn’t understand why Woo used it, with it seeming that BuddyPress does to and I can’t find the instructions I used before that worked or remember what I did.
I’ve raised this with Weaver, but all they can say is that it’s not a theme issues, it’s Woo & Buddy Press 🙁
All help appreciated, with this being the 1st Buddy Press site I’ve developed and loving it.
Highest regards,
Holmey
It seems that it’s a theme problem, (or the way BuddyPress deals with the theme), with it seeming that it is allowing the styles in some sections of a page to be overwritten, with it being the same with Woo-Commerce too, (me having the same problem on the product page tabs).
Somebody has told me that it’s an & that BuddyPress & Woo use in their code that needs deleting from somewhere as it is not relevant, does anybody else know what this can be as my theme is saying it is not a theme issue 🙁

While you’re in touch with the support team, ask them to install BuddyPres on your site or at least why you get this error. For me, it is not an issue related to BuddyPress.
if i believe what is written by your host about PHP:
For example, PHP hosting at One.com provides access to the following elements:
PHP 5
MySQL database
Advanced dynamic websites
Seriously, it’s a bit short (IMHO) to convience me that WP and BP can run correctly together. Maybe a generic phrase, maybe exact, but the only way to know it exactly is phpinfo.
But for the moment, PHP 5 is not PHP 5.4 !
More annoying, i haven’t found any technical information about a host plan, except disk space and prices of domain names.
Personnaly, i won’t use such apparently poor hosting service.
Hi @holmey1
To test whether this is a BuddyPress problem or theme problem, you should switch to TwentyFifteen and deactivate all plugins. If the problem resolves then it is likely related to either a) your theme or b) one of the plugins you deactivated.
Hi,
I made a complete backup of my site and database – deleted everything – and installed it manually.
It seems like it helped on the speed issue. My site is now a bit faster – and if I deactivate Buddypress it almost runs normal.
I still can´t login via the sidebar login widget. As I did mention the problem only appears the first time I want to login on a new browser session.
I have been chatting with One.com´s support team and they tell me that they meet the requirements for both BP and WP, so that´s not the problem.
Am I really the first one seing this “Blocked” text in Google Crome on /wp-login.php? In IE I see a see another text that tells me “the site rejects to show the website” (in danish) 🙂
Let me know what else I can try…
Thanks a lot..!
Regards
Torben
If you want networking and messaging and forums – you need both BP and bbPress.
Some info re BP and forums:
Installing Group and Sitewide Forums
If your site is slow is not related to the fact of adding/removing a link, even programmatically ! 😉
Unadapted host plan, wrong settings, network issue, poor wifi connection and many, many other things can slow down a site.
Have you at least the minimum requirements to use WP and BP ?
https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
Requirements
Run phpinfo if you’re unsure.
There are no groups to display. Please try again later. doesn’t exist in BP 2.2.3.1
Do you use a specific plugin for groups ?
A similar phrase “There are no groups to display.” is only used in bp-groups/bp-groups-widget.php
How to change BP wordings is explained on Codex
Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs
What do you think?
Hum… 🚧 🎢 🙏 !
Have you checked the right table ? It’s not in _bp_activity_meta, but in _usermeta, at least concerning the case of site admin.
I mentionned this topic for information on this ticket:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3794
Hello,
I found something about this, see:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4393
By the way, I followed the steps above and I have it in my database a:0{…some content ….}. I have not changed anything. What do you think?
Thanks
Such feature doesn’t exist at this time. If you’re comfortable with coding, see here some possibilities: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/acoustic-signal/
If you feel comfortable with php, here’s a gist from @imath to autojoin users to groups.
Modify it to add the member_type
A little different, BuddyPress Registration Groups
Buddypress User Account Type was built before the introduction of member types. The plugin would need to be completely rewritten to work as a feature add-on to the core BuddyPress member types.
I’ve spent the last 2 days combing the Internet for a solution to this…and have also come up empty.
Has anyone on this thread made any further progress?
Also, it looks like this plugin (Buddypress User Account Type) is something that might be hackable to get the desired result? That’s beyond my capabilities, but thought I’d mention it just in case someone else finds it helpful…
Have you removed BP Remove Profile Links plugin, as it was tested up to: WordPress 3.6 beta2 BuddyPress 1.8 beta1. Could be outdated after 2 years and without need if you use the snippet now.
You have also to test your site with one of Twenty theme first.
One crucial question to all: which theme do you use ?
Have you similar issue by using one of WP’s twenty theme ?
Have you searched in your theme documentation ? Remeber that we do not support commercial products here as we have no access to the code.
Also:
The Toolbar is related to WordPress, BuddyPress use it only to add a sub-nav block under Howdy on the top right corner.
Commented BuddyPress code can be found here for bp_has_forum_topics
bp_has_forum_topics
and here for bbp_has_topics
bbp_has_topics
bp = BuddyPress
bbp = bbPress
There may well be a solution for this in the WordPress or BuddyPress community, but what I’m saying is it’s far more likely that you’ll find the solution in a phpMyAdmin or MySQL community. So don’t give up here, but be aware you have options if you don’t get a response.
Not the response I was hoping for as all I’m trying to do is restore buddypress info from one site to another. These are WP/BP solutions so I don’t see how no one in either of these communities have proven and documented which by now should be a basic restore process.
yeah, I found out the issue is inside buddypress/groups/single/ folder but need to find out which file is causing error. Thanx a lot anyway .. 🙂 Hope i’ll fix this ASAP.
thanx for your reply @henrywright, I tried switching main theme and it’s working normal. On child theme, I have a customized buddyPress folder. But I have no idea what’s causing that issue.
Hi @marvc
Whilst I can’t offer any help myself in this instance, the actual table you’re importing is irrelevant so both the WordPress and BuddyPress support forums might not be the best place to look to get help. Instead, perhaps try a phpMyAdmin or MySQL support forum. Hopefully they’ll be more help.
