BuddyPress.org

Hi @shmk

It’s definitely possible. BuddyPress uses the wp_mail() function to send emails. By default, it uses text/plain as the content type which doesn’t allow HTML. The good news is you can change this. For example:

function set_content_type( $content_type ) {
    return 'text/html';
}
add_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', 'set_content_type' );

Hi @sbraiden

The response time on ANY page/link can range from 10-20 seconds, even with virtually all of the plug-ins disabled.

A standard WordPress-BuddyPress install, running on the most basic hardware with little web traffic would respond far quicker than this so there is definitely a problem. Sometimes (although not always) the problem can be elsewhere (not your host). I’ve seen some badly-written themes cause page load times to lag and the same goes for certain plugins. I think the first step for you to take (before you go through the upheaval of changing hosting company) is to determine the exact cause of the problem. If you’re definitely sure it’s the host, then definitely make the switch. From a personal point of view, I’ve had problems with 1&1 in the past so switched host and have never been happier.

Activity feed is not retroactiv, and will never be i guess ! It’s a feed, not an archive with updates. 😉

This will hide fields on the profile edit page and on the register page.
You need to add the field IDs.
Put the function in bp-custom.php.

function oazar_hide_profile_fields( $retval ) {
	
	if( is_super_admin () )
		return $retval;

	if(  bp_is_profile_edit() || bp_is_register_page() )
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '3';	//field ID's separated by comma

	return $retval;

}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'oazar_hide_profile_fields' );

Hi @laynerogers

Rather than changing BP core files, you should contact the theme author asking that they look into making their page titles compatible with BP. The changes you’ve made to bp-core-filters.php will be lost each time you update BuddyPress.

Have you added a bp translation manually to another folder ? If yes, delete it.

If you use WP since a while and updated it recently, search a line containing define(‘WPLANG’, ‘xx_XX’)- xx_XX is a lang iso code, in wp-config.php. If you find one, delete it as it is no more used in WP 4.1

Control via FTP that bp translation is in wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-fr_FR.mo
If not there, ensure that /language/ and /plugins/ have their write access set to 755
The mo file should be 644.

FYI, bp-default theme is no more necessary.

@lukemack this codex article explains it https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/

Marking this as resolved.

The page at https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-multi-network/ states

Multiple WP networks can be created with either:
▪ WP Multi Network
▪ Networks+

I use Networks +.

There may also be other combinations of plugins that may work.

Googling “wordpress”, “buddypress” “multi-network” or “multinetwork” should be sufficient to come across the few others that may fall into these categories – such as Networks for WordPress at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/networks-for-wordpress and BuddyPress Multi Network at http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/ .

Examining all of the them as well as studying their support forums would be useful in making a decision on which combination to use for your particular requirements.

Given that a multi-network plugin will essentially hold the entire show together I would venture that it is well worth the research you are now undertaking.

Just to be perfectly clear, I am an open source enthusiast but I am not an open-source absolutist though some are and are perfectly entitled to be.

If something works, saves hours of time when compared with other items, is supported and is reasonably priced I will use it (when my budget allows) and will say so.

But, I can only vouch for what I know works.

I can only vouch for, in this case the plugin I cited above, and the continuous free support over a number of years, which comes from recognised top class developers.

This support alone should ordinarily have cost many $X,00s, bringing the price of said plugin deep into negative figures – i.e considerably less than free.

Activation and registration are WordPress dependant and are not only “BP components”. These pages may not be created automatically, depending your WP settings… But according to the error message, you have now to create them.

I understand that you are a bit confused, as you’re in a discovery phase of BuddyPress.
But you should also understand that i can’t explain step by step the whole Codex (WP & BP!).

I guess you have to read the doc very attentively. Searching the forum or simply reading some topics will also help you to understand how all this is working.

Install first correctly WP and BP and use one of the Twenty theme, the time for you to learn a bit more. Once you’re comfortable with WP & BP, start your theme development.

The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activate, Register. Repair

means that you haven’t installed correctly this 2 BP’s component pages. Read here to understand how this works:

Configure BuddyPress

BP 2.x is compliant with almost any theme. bp-default theme is no more used and only there for backwards compatibility.
