Wordpress version 4.6.1 Buddypress version 2.7.0 Site link: http://www.paidsonetwork.online
Hello. Thank you for this forum. I am using BUDDYPRESS for my website community. There are some plugins I would have love to add to the community to improve the functioning and activities of my community. Although I am already using some plugins and addons that work with buddypress, there are some other ones which are not compatible with my site. The plugins include:
1. Buddypress Group Tinychat
2. Buddypress Security Check
3. Easy Albums – Buddypress users create and share images, video and audio albums – the easy way.
If I am assisted on how to use these plugins with issues, I will be very grateful.
Thank You.
dbDelta is a WordPress function, @danbp, it’s not bbPress specific. It’s used to update the schema of a MySQL database. The bigger question is how did something trigger the BuddyPress installation methods yet not make sure the relevant WordPress function was loaded.
@nhatnnt1 What version number of WordPress are you using?
Hi.
After I installed. When I log into the admin page. I get the message: “Fatal error: Call to undefined function dbDelta () in wp-content / plugins / BuddyPress / bp-core / admin / bp-core-admin-schema.php on line 159″
How do I do to fix this?.
We wish everyone help
Hi,
first of all I want to congratulate you for an amazing improved Profile date field! Great job! Thank you!
Now to my issue. My goal is to show “Age” of my members using your date selector. By default when I chose Time elapsed, the Age field in user’s profile is showing: age ( for example 38 ) years ago. I would like to change wording “years ago” to “years old” by using loco translate plugin. Here is the result of the translations:
source text: %s ago
-> no translation made: outcome: 38 years ago
-> translated to: %s old = outcome: 38 years
-> translated to: %s = outcome: 38 years
-> translated to: %s years old = outcome: 38 years
-> translated to: % years old = outcome: ears old
Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? Any idea?
Thanks
Petra
Using WordPress 4.6.1 running Sweetdate Child theme, BuddyPress 2.7.0
Looks like the update introduced some bugs with Extended Profile fields, visibility defaults, and registration page that were previously working. Either that, or something did not update correctly.
I was just showing my neighbor the new site for our community, and the registration page was working fine. Then, I was showing her plugins when I noticed there was an update available for Buddypress (I just installed it a few days ago). So, I hit update. New version says 2.7.0. BUT, we go back to registration page so she can try it out… several problems now exist.
1) yellow buttons to “Change” field visibility are all gone on registration page. Default value allows users to make changes to the visibility. Visitors cannot change visibility on registration page anymore after update.
2) Date field got reset somehow with only 2016 and no other years. I was able to reset it by picking year range, but it should not get reset when updating plugin.
3) Extended profile fields do not respect master default value. For instance, I have “Only Me” set by default for many fields, but once a new user registers these profile fields are publicly viewable by everyone. User is able to go in and change them, but they should respect the default setting as before.

In your filter functions, why not check for page_id or title – if not available, then just return
Well, ask the WP/BP page lifecycle 😉 Making a hook dependent on a variable that in some stages of the page lifecycle does not exist leads to that some hooks are never fired (e. g. bp_members_directory_order_options or bp_pre_user_query, etc.).
Thanks again for your replies and the offer to help out with the code. I solved the issue yesterday by implementing the custom page independent from BuddyPress as it was a faster, cleaner and more reliable solution.
🙂
I spent a lot of time on a similar issue and the only thing that worked was using this format.
date(“Y-m-d 00:00:00”)
In other words must have h:i:s but they must be zeros. That seems like a bug to me but thats the only thing that worked with a buddypress date field whilst using xprofile_set_field_data
Add the code to bp-custom.php
bp-custom.php
Read also here, might help for test
Group Types option display
Such snippet is usually working when added to bp-custom.php

Custom Menu with Bubbles RESOLVED here:
Bp custom Menu
Iam using buddypress and I dont need block users.
I have menu with notify. It takes me about 15 min.
Search activities by Date is what I have never want.
Less talking more teaching.
Wordpress version: 4.6.1
BP version: 2.7
First off, hats off to the folks who put together this 2.7 update- glad to see the direction BP has been going over the years. I was really excited to see the addition of group types too. However, I can’t seem to get the basics to work with it. I am trying to get Group Types to show up at the group creation time on the front-end, but it still does not appear. In order to test it out, I tried just using the code exactly as it appeared on the codex:
function my_bp_custom_group_types() {
bp_groups_register_group_type( 'team', array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => 'Teams',
'singular_name' => 'Team'
),
// New parameters as of BP 2.7.
'has_directory' => 'teams',
'show_in_create_screen' => true,
'show_in_list' => true,
'description' => 'Teams are good',
'create_screen_checked' => true
) );
}
add_action( 'bp_groups_register_group_types', 'my_bp_custom_group_types' );
I dropped the code into my child theme’s function.php but the options do not show up like they do on the screenshots. I tried clearing the cache too but to no avail.
By the way, I referenced the Group Types codex page for all the actions above. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’m new to buddypress. I went through every step setting up buddypress made sure the allow register box was checked, made my pages, went to user -? profile fields. i click on view beside register in bp settings and it displays my homepage. if i type in the url does same thing. how do i get it to show?
Hi shanebp,
thanks for your reply.
How are you loading your page template?
I created the template by copying and pasting the code of members-loop.php and some of index.php (directory /bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members) and adapting it for my custom needs. Then I created an empty page in the backend and assigned the template to the page by using the drop-down-menu in the backend. I did not thought that there is something more to do to load the template as it – in principal – works as expected (except the issue that hooks are fired on all member sites now which I want to prevent).
Have you tried checking the page title
Yes, checking the page title also failed as the title is not available in all hooks (same as trying it out with page id).

Message or Notifications Template. https://goo.gl/photos/ngAmNCHyRCWyd9fLA
Buddypress.org has some template like this for Notifications.
Feature #17. Private Messages for Friends Only but, Optional from User Menu.
With rtMedia plugin you can put your Posts or Photos: Only Me, Only Logged Users, Only Friends, Public. But, rtMedia does not work for Messages.
@sbrajesh Yes, but without Bubbles or Notifications.
How I can obtain notify for Dashboard->Appearance->Menus->Buddypress (links)->Message, Notifications, Friend requests ??
For @djpaul Think for All!
1) All social network or community needs a block users functions. Without this, community is nothing.
2) All that I say here can be include NATIVE, without plugins.
BuddyPress can be better, like Facebook, Tagged or more… ONLY if you want.
Hi guys,
at first thanks for doing this great job by providing BuddyPress, I really love it.
I have one question, maybe I missed an important part of understanding the firing of hooks.
I set up a custom members directory by creating a page template and adding some custom actions (e. g. bf_before_directory_members, bp_pre_user_query, etc.). Everything works like a charm :-).
The problem is I want the members page coming initially with BuddyPress also enabled, but without firing the hooks I added for the custom members directory. Now the custom filters are being also applied on this page which I want to prevent. I don’t know how to solve this. I tried it out by adding conditions e. g. if ($page_id == $page_id_custom_member_page), but the page id is not available in all filters.
Can anybody help me out with this? This would be great.
Thanks in advance.
🙂
I have translation file in wp-content/languages/buddypress-zh_CN.po, some string will take effect, some are not( CHANGE COVER IMAGE for example), here(http://ww4.sinaimg.cn/large/801b780agw1f8ywml6m9fj213s054abt.jpg) is my translation pic, and here(http://ww3.sinaimg.cn/large/801b780agw1f8ywmgezhbj21kw0vu78d.jpg) is what is on the front-end.
Please do not at-mention people just to get attention. I normally stop reading if I see I’ve been pinged in a list like this by someone trying to get attention.
That said, thank you for your feedback.
All your Google image links are broken, and if they are screenshots asking “how can I do this”, if you can’t code (or want to spend time learning to do this), then you need to hope there’s a plugin out there you can buy, or hire a freelance developer to build it for you. Very few people build things for others for free, and it’s at a cost to those people, even if it’s free for you.
To comment on some of your points from my own perspective, and not on behalf of the entire BuddyPress team and all its contributors:
- I would also like to see better user communication management tools/preferences! (i.e. blocks). I think some of this will have to happen in the BuddyPress software, and some will happen in third-party plugins that extend the behaviour. There are already some plugins that deal with small parts of these areas.
- Chat, Message Attachments, Media — these are complicated, and I’m pretty sure will never be included in BuddyPress itself. They would make good third-party plugins. I think there are a couple of Chat plugins available already.
- (auto-)confirm accounts after sign-up — I believe this is seriously unsafe, so it will never be included in BuddyPress. Another plugin opportunity!
- Global search is something we always wanted, I don’t know if we still do. A very early BuddyPress default theme about 7 years ago had something similar, I think. I remember playing around with it. Maybe it’s time to bring it back. 🙂
- Sharing tools is pretty interesting. I think I’m personally quite keen to do some stuff like this, but it’d need some experimenting to see whether it felt as if it would fit into the BuddyPress software, or a third-party plugin, or some of both.
So… you CAN log into WordPress with your email address and password. On example.com/wp-login.php, it even says “Username or Email” and “Password”. Is this the main log in that you are talking about?
I have just tested the BuddyPress log in widget and I can log in using the email address.
I am a bit baffled why this doesn’t work for you. Please can you remove any relevant code customisations, and just test it again?
If you can’t log into /wp-login.php using an email address and password, you should try the WordPress.org support forums first and get that fixed, because that’s how it should be working.
Hi @romanreignempire
You need to change a WordPress settings — you need to enable permalinks. Your WordPress blog URLs look like: example.com/index.php/roman-reigns/ and we need to have them look like example.com/romain-reigns/. This is required to have BuddyPress work.
If we’re lucky, you can go into wp-admin and Settings > Permalinks, then pick anything other than “Default”. Then save, and check if your blog post links have changed, and if they still work.
If they DON’T work, you need to fix that first. There is lots of information on the web about enabling WordPress permalinks, and if you have a good web host, oftentimes they will know how to enable them if they are disabled by default for some reason.
I guess that means that when a user registers on one of the multi-sites he can use his account on all the other websites of the Multi-site installation, right ?
Yes, but understand that you have to give that user access to those other sites (in wp-admin) to write blog posts, for example. If a user does not have explicit permissions to a specific multisite site, they won’t have any special access; they’ll only be able to read the content as if they were another normal visitor. You can test this right now, without BuddyPress, and see how it works.
meaning it takes him out of the French Website to put him onto the English on
You seem to be using multisite to have your content localised into different languages. This is a common approach for WordPress multisite, but BuddyPress does not work the way you want it to in this situation.
You can activate BuddyPress in a few different ways. Simply, on multisite, you can activate the plugin on a specific site, or network-wide. There is lots more detail at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installation-in-wordpress-multisite/ but if BuddyPress is activated network-wide, all the BuddyPress content will only appear on one site (we call this the “root blog”). We use redirects to support this, exactly as you’ve found.
You can’t have BuddyPress active on a multisite that uses the sub-sites as different languages, and have the BuddyPress social network appear on all of them and work in the same way, except with different translations. It doesn’t work that way out the box…
…however here is an advanced setting you can use to make BuddyPress behave like this: BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG
See https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/bp_enable_multiblog/
I would encourage you fully test this setting out if you enable it, before you start building the rest of your site, just to understand and confirm its behaviour.
🙂
@dioniq Did this work with a previous version of BuddyPress? If so, what version?
While the developers of that plugin are contributors to BuddyPress, you’re best to try requesting support via that plugin’s forums: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-docs
I´m getting a error when trying to Accosiate a group to a attached document or create a new Group folder:

BuddyPress version: 2.7.0
Any idea?
