If you inspect the generated markup you will see that the loop list elements will have a members type class rendered if user has a type you can then use those to effect styling on.

In the member single screens it’s a little trickier you do have the ability to use the template hierarchy to set a template for a user type (please refer to the codex for instruction) otherwise for the moment you would need to modify the home.php template to add this yourself something like:

<?php $user_type = bp_get_member_type( bp_displayed_user_id() ); ?>

<div id="buddypress" class="<?php echo esc_attr( $user_type ); ?>">

First line is an addition the second you need to modify the existing element to add the class and php – all in a child copy of the home.php template naturally.
We will update buddpress core to add a class to the body elements for 2.8 as this would be useful and styling could be effected on that too so if you would rather wait for 2.8…

Hey there,

I’m no expert, just a buddypress user like you, but you should precise what you want to change and where, for people to understand and help you.
What element should have a different color? And where? On the members directory? In profiles?everywhere? etc
Good luck

I remember looking at Mailgun before when someone asked about it. Looking at its code very quickly, it has an option to send via its API or not. You’ll need to disable its “useAPI” option (otherwise, it redeclares the wp_mail function, which will force BuddyPress to send plain-text only emails). Another consequence of doing this is that Mailgun configures PHPMailer to send via SMTP, and some web hosts/servers block external SMTP requests.

If that has no affect, I think you’re going to have to do debugging inside the bp_send_email function. Specifically, I’d start looking at the return value of this line: $status = $delivery->bp_email( $email );

With luck, PHPMailer will give you an error message with some clues in.

> I have fixed the error I was getting of email_missing by adding information into the taxonomy tables manually. There is no documentation about this which is odd.

I don’t think it’s explicitly documented outside of the PHP – but it is hard to find, at the best of time – but this guide https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/custom-emails/ does mention it uses a custom taxonomy, so I wouldn’t call it “undocumented”. “Very badly documented”, maybe 😀

Assuming everything is working as it is, I don’t know why it would show more users than you have, either. Have you tried going to Tools > BuddyPress, and running “Repair total members count” as a workaround for now?

BuddyPress does not come with a default image for groups, this must be getting added by something else, could it me your theme?

The issues here are being tracked in https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7298 and https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7300

@tizianopitisci

did you find a solution to this, or do you have a link to the buddypress trac where it was reported?

It sounds like a template issue, there do need to be template revisions, additional template function tags to make this process work as detailed in the codex page here:

Template Updates 2.7

Custom themes may well not have updated their templates.

Registering the new types can be done in theme functions files but then are locked to that theme or site.
