Can you try the following fix?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/10586/branches/2.4/src/bp-messages/bp-messages-functions.php
This is scheduled to be released with BuddyPress 2.5 this week, but you can try this fix temporarily.
For private messages, auto-complete only shows your friends.
To access everyone, put this in your theme/functions.php or in plugins/bp-custom.php
define( 'BP_MESSAGES_AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL', true );
I’m on BP 2.4.3 and WP 4.4.2.
I’m getting this Message:
PHP Warning: strstr(): Empty needle in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php on line 682
Hi John
If you’re referring to the BuddyPress Activity Plus plugin, try asking this same question on their support forum.
Hello,
I am using a WordPress theme(which is WPLMS). I am trying to send messages between users but I am getting the following error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function get_error_message() on a non-object in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-messages/bp-messages-actions.php on line 104
The strange thing is that I tested on localhost and there is no problem there. I only have this problem on live server.
ps. I am using https on my site.(I don’t know if this has to do with the problem)
(WordPress version 4.4.2
Buddypress version 2.4.3)
Thank you in advance for any help.
I believe you can simply delete /bp-forums/bbpress/ and you should be good to go.
However, I understand that this is annoying for WP Engine as you might have to do this manually each time BuddyPress has an update.
An alternative is to pull the development version of the codebase (SVN or Git) from buddypress.trac.buddypress.org. Then, you can checkout the current maintenance branch (currently 2.4, but will be 2.5).
The development version does not include the older version of bbPress; we only include the older version when bundling it for a release.
Hopefully that helps somewhat.
I’ve added Buddypress menu items (e.g. messages, notifications etc.) in my main WordPress menu. Is there anyway I can have the notification counters next to each of them, as they are in the standard Buddypress menu bar?
Is there a way to pull user profile data and use it in other areas of the website. I.E. I have a page where I have names for 10 members that have signed up for BuddyPress, and I would like to use the data they used for the profile (address, birthday, etc) for BuddyPress on this page, so if they are to update the information at anytime, it would auto update on the other page. Any way to do that, or plugins that anyone know of?
Check out the Template Hierarchy article. It will show you how to set up templates for BuddyPress. You can then remove the comment section and comment form from the page(s) you want.
The Template Hierarchy article is what you’re looking for.
Good day
I have a problem. Installing Buddypress on amazon ec2 (t2.micro) server I faced with a problem: all pages (Groups, Activity, etc.) are empty.
I tried to do the same steps on free hostings and everything was working. What can cause such problem?
software on the server: lamp + mod_rewrite
Thanks r-a-y for the link. I’ll know to search in Trac from now on.
As the error is with the bundled bbPress 1, I’m guessing the next thing to do is exclude BackPress from my repo/push. It seems this might be a way for me to get through the WP Engine syntax gatekeeping.
Could I bother someone to let me know if simply deleting the BackPress folder is the legit way to handle this-assuming that I’m using a separate, late model install of bbPress.
Note: the issue is present in the previous version of BuddyPress too, so it’s not a matter of using 2.5 locally, for now. In fact the bug is reportedly not being addressed (“wont fix”), so there’s no fix in sight.
I’d say you’ve got an interesting problem here though, as anyone pushing to WP Engine is going to have the same issue as I am, and some won’t know where to turn for help. It’s a bit of a hassle for WP Engine to field support calls too, I imagine.
You might also want to try BP 2.5-RC1:
BuddyPress 2.5.0 Release Candidate 1
I believe the issue might be fixed there.
So my next question would be… is there a downside with having BP network enabled when it will only be used on 1/3 sites?
If you are using the site tracking feature in BuddyPress (Settings > BuddyPress > Components), then you would need to leave BuddyPress network activated.
Otherwise, except for taking up some PHP memory, there isn’t any downsides.
BuddyPress users are WordPress users; they are the same.
If you are talking about making those users active in BuddyPress terms, then those users would need to login at least once.
When pushing the 2.5.0 RC1 to WPEngine (via SourceTree), I receive this error:
remote: PHP Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in - on line 179
remote: - [1;31mwarning:[00m syntax Error Found in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/functions.wp-taxonomy.php ...
Line 179 of functions.wp-taxonomy.php reads:
return $wp_taxonomy_object->_pad_term_counts(&$terms, $taxonomy);
Is that an extra ‘&’ in there? I’m no developer! Ha! But I can’t push this plugin unless I figure this out.
Cheers,
Dave
Hi,
Is there any way to activate existing WordPress users as BuddyPress users? I found an old thread on the topic but it was years old – wondering if there is more recent functionality.
Thanks!
I need help building a function in a buddypress site where user can change his/her profile picture by just hovering mouse on avatar.
Just like facebook when user will hover on profile picture, a link will be shown to change profile picture.
I am running the lastest version of WP and BP on an IIS 8.5 server. Last week I updated WP to Multisite and I am still using BP on the main site. I tried adding a new user today to the sub-site, but I cannot activate this person. The only when I can even see that I tried creating a new user is under Manage Signups from the Network Admin menu. If I click anything under that user’s name, i am shown a permissions page. I have tried THIS SOLUTION already, but when adding this code, it disables the dashboard for my main site.
Again, I only have BP enabled on the main site, and BP is not network activated. I am assuming the permissions error has to do with BP and not WPMU. since there is similar issues regarding BP. Please help me fix this?
Thank you for your reply!
Could you provide me a little example? I am completely new to Buddypress and things like this.
Did you Network Activate the BuddyPress plugin, or just enable it on one of the sites?
Your best bet is to try the bbPress.org support forums — the shortcode you’re using is bbPress, not BuddyPress.
@tranny,
Are you saying I need to install a sidebar plugin to see changes to the theme?
Yes ! Have you try the solution I gave you ?
As explain by @hnla, Buddypress companion style works only when the buddypress pages have enough width, that’s mean no sidebar or an empty sidebar (no widget in it).
For twenty sixteen theme, when the regular sidebar is empty (no widget) the buddypress content still not use 100% width, it’s why companion style isn’t working even with the empty regular sidebar.
So an easy solution is to create a new empty sidebar that will replace the regular theme sidebar.
To do that I used the Content Aware Sidebars plugin as discribe in my previous post.
Try to follow those steps
2) Install Content Aware Sidebars plugin
3) Create a sidebar then select Buddypress Members type and add all proposed subcategories. Set it as substitution to the regular sidebar and then save it. Do not add any widget in this sidebar.
4) Don’t forget to clear your browser cache.
Any help on which file and function is the function to uploading avatar & cover image?
These classes both extend BP_Attachment:
Whenever I search on my Buddypress site, a bunch of unrelated users show up. I have not figured out how or why it shows certain users, because it even shows users who have absolutely no relation to the search term.
How does it find these terms, and how can I change the way the search works? Searching for just a name would be ideal for me.
