BuddyPress.org

please anyone can help me buddypress is not working with my directory theme?

This plugin is also interesting BuddyPress Activity Stream Ajax Notifier

use this plugin does an auto update of activity RS Buddypress Activity Refresh works fine on BP 1.9 and 2.0 as well.

I am not sure its an install issue. I had the exact same problem. I got rid of my issue by turning off a couple of the buddypress ‘components’ under settings. this made everything work again…. s

@pro120 – This should be partially addressed in BuddyPress 2.0 as we’ve moved the last activity entries directly into the activity component to speed up queries.

If you haven’t upgraded yet, please backup your database before upgrading then give it a shot.

Thanks for noticing, stripedsquirrel. All of the pages should work now.

The plugin repository on buddypress.org needs some love that hopefully can be tackled in the future. For now, it is what it is.

Thanks for the report, @rewindcaz.

A ticket was created and addressed here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5571

This will be added for v2.0.1 in the upcoming days.

@sarahs91 there have been changes to both BuddyPress and WordPress. Have you done some basic troubleshooting like changing theme to Twenty Fourteen/Thirteen? If it’s still an issue, have you deactivated plugins other than BuddyPress to check which is causing conflict in your registration?

here some ideas / projects :

hello @megainfo,

You’re right. I think the problem you described in #5569 is a side effect of #5553.

Thanks for your feedback, can you confirm this patch is solving your issue ?

Perhaps list all of the featured LinkedIn has that you want to have in your BuddyPress site then recommending plugins will be a little easier

From a developers perspective, BuddyPress gives you a large amount of functionality in what a social network is known to be. For FREE. The last bits that you need for a unique site/app/experience is up to you. BuddyPress even includes many APIs to add more functionality.

BuddyPress dropped theme dependency in version 1.7. The base templates that come with the plugin are generically a basic social network. This is just one example of how to use the core software on the front end.

Here is a perfect example of doing something besides a “dated social network” as you put it, and this was years ago, it’s a web based game with BuddyPress. http://www.bpinspire.com/zombies-vs-hippies

It is really a disservice to the contributors of this project when people post these rants. They work countless hours to give you something that is ridiculously feature rich. No one is ever going to develop for you a “magical just what you expect” social network for free.

If you think there are areas that need enhancement then help contribute to the project.

Hi @imath, @boonebgorges,

I think the problem is caused by bp_update_to_2_0().
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5569

@eddieb12180 Did you even try adding the styles I provided above? Of course you can make some changes in the registration page’s markup. Copy over the register.php file from https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php into yourchildthemefolder/buddypress/members/ folder and make the changes you want to html tags available there.

@eddieb12180 Add the simple tweaks below to your child theme’s stylesheet and adjust to taste. Basically, tame the styles of the descriptions and settings so it will be more visually pleasing.

#buddypress .field-visibility-settings,
#buddypress .field-visibility-settings-toggle,
#buddypress .field-visibility-settings-notoggle {

#buddypress .field-visibility-settings legend,
#buddypress .field-visibility-settings-toggle {
font-style: normal !important;
}

#buddypress .current-visibility-level {

#buddypress .field-visibility-settings a.visibility-toggle-link {

From what i see, the latest user you registered “Leon123” is an author. Have you changed his role manually ? else the signup process is ok.

174 users seems to be problematic

I wonder who is adding ‘signup_ip’ in the usermeta, have you reactivated the plugins ? Or it maybe the theme you are using ? In options i see that “buddycorp” is adding a lot of options and some are related to signups, is it your theme ?

Otherwise, i think i would test this :
0/ make a back up of the database.

1/ It looks like you deactivated BuddyPress and rollback to a previous version of the database several time because in the signups table, there were signups in “8plicate”
So before batch activate or activate, you’ll surely need to run this query :
DELETE FROM wp_signups WHERE signup_id > 173

2/ try with one user (for example “sert” ID = 2006) to edit his user_status to 2 and then go into the BuddyPress signups management screen and try to activate him. Once done check his role.

3/ If everything went fine, i think, i’ll update the user status of the 174 users to 2, then form the signups management screen batch activate the 174 users, i think it’s best to do it step by step, you can increase the number of signups displayed from the screen options, but i advise you not to set it to 174, maybe 40.

to update the 174 user status, you can run this query in PhpMyAdmin for example :
UPDATE wp_users SET user_status = 2 WHERE ID NOT IN ( SELECT user_id FROM wp_usermeta WHERE meta_key = "wp_capabilities" );

For your info activating the signup for the “admin” user won’t work as the activation key is empty, so you can just delete it for this user.

I wonder if it’s not simpler for you to batch edit the user roles.

@livsy

Just tested in WP 3.9/ BuddyPress 2.0, the role set for a new user is the one that is defined in the WordPress setting (wp-admin/options-general) > New User Default Role dropdown field.
