BuddyPress.org

I get the same error on two other WordPress/Buddypress sites. How can I fix them?

Well, there we have it! I just backed up the site and re-uploaded the plugins directory to give the structure you stated, and all I had to do was re-Activate the BuddyPress plugin and my site is back to the way it was – so I can only assume you can still install the BP plugins as /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/ OR wp-content/plugins/bp-core/ – they both seem to work.

I seem to have the following structure, without any problems.

/wp-content/plugins/bp-activity/
/wp-content/plugins/bp-blogs/
/wp-content/plugins/bp-core/

I also see the same screen as your screenshot under Settings>BuddyPress in my admin.

I will proceed with removing these directories and upload them as subdirectories of /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/.

It appears to be included in BuddyPress 1.9.2.

I extracted buddypress.1.9.2.zip to a folder on my desktop, buddypress.1.9.2.

The path is buddypress.1.9.2/buddypress/bp-messages/

On my site, I uploaded the ‘buddypress’ folder contents to /wp-content/plugins/, so /wp-content/plugins/bp-messages/.

Thanks

I have done some additional investigation and it looks like the problem may be that when someone replies to a topic in a bbPress forum, they are receiving the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_notifications_add_notification() in /nas/wp/www/staging/cbblogers/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php on line 124

I tried to revert to buddyPress 1.8.1 and bbPress 2.5.2, but unfortunately this didn’t resolve the issue.

Any thoughts about what I should try next?

Thanks much,

The emails are sent but not received. It is a live site. I am self-hosted. I’m only using 3 plugins, BuddyPress, bbPress, and Members.

BuddyPress is a very powerful social. However, many problems must be solved, especially the slowness that causes the site

Unfortunately, I think my issue is more problematic than that…I currently have 43 “blank” notifications and the number keeps growing. I have been receiving these blank notifications ever since I upgraded to Buddypress 1.9.1. I even tried reverting to Buddypress 1.8.1, but this did not resolve the problem.

I am using buddypress 1.9.2 with wordpress 3.8.1

I understand that the URL rewrite issue has been moved to BP 2.1. However the question still has not been answered as to whether this will solve the BP incompatibility with standard WordPress installation “In Its Own Directory”.
Will fixing the URL rewrite issues resolve this incompatibility issue as described here: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/before-installing/

Oh I see. And the BuddyPress codex tells me what I need to know?

I found bp_notifications_get_registered_components() which will bring back an array “of component names that are currently active and have registered Notifications callbacks”.

Updated code

function qd_notifications_filter_form() {
	// Setup local variables
	$components   = bp_notifications_get_registered_components();
	$selected = '';
	

	// Check for a filter
	if ( !empty( $_REQUEST['s'] ) ) {
		if ( in_array( $_REQUEST['s'], $components ) ) {
			$selected = $_REQUEST['s'];
		}
	} ?>

	<form action="" method="get" id="notifications-filter">
		<label for="notifications-filter-list"><?php esc_html_e( 'Filter By:', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>

		<select id="notifications-filter-list" name="s" onchange="this.form.submit();">
        	<option value="" <?php selected( $selected, '' ); ?>><?php _e( 'All', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <?php
            foreach ($components as $component) {
            ?>
            	<option value="<?php echo $component; ?>" <?php selected( $selected, $component ); ?>><?php _e( $component, 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <?php
            }
			?>
			
		</select>

		<noscript>
			<input id="submit" type="submit" name="form-submit" class="submit" value="<?php _e( 'Go', 'buddypress' ); ?>" />
		</noscript>
	</form>

<?php
}

Still not perfect, but better.

I’ve been playing around with the filtering aspect. Turns out Buddypress has a filter built in, so all you need to do is add a form (dropdown) to use it. I haven’t fully tested this but seems to work. I need a way to determine all possible notification component names and actions so it will autopopulate the dropdown when new plugins use notifications.

I copied /plugins/buddypress/bp-template/members/single/notifications.php to my child theme and added the following right below the bp_notifications_sort_order_form call

<li id="members-filter-select" class="last filter">
	<?php qd_notifications_filter_form(); ?>
</li>

Then in my functions.php file, I added the dropdown code (I basically stole this from the code that generates the sort by date dropdown.

function qd_notifications_filter_form() {

	// Setup local variables
        // Need to figure out a way to autopopulate this array
	$searchterms   = array( 'new_at_mention', 'bbp_new_reply','new_message','friendship_accepted','friendship_request','group_invite','localgroupnotifier','ac_notifier' );
	$selected = '';

	// Check for a custom sort_order
	if ( !empty( $_REQUEST['s'] ) ) {
		if ( in_array( $_REQUEST['s'], $searchterms ) ) {
			$selected = $_REQUEST['s'];
		}
	} ?>

	<form action="" method="get" id="notifications-filter">
		<label for="notifications-filter-list"><?php esc_html_e( 'Filter By:', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>

// need to loop through this instead of hardcoding the options.
		<select id="notifications-filter-list" name="s" onchange="this.form.submit();">
        	<option value="" <?php selected( $selected, '' ); ?>><?php _e( 'All', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
			<option value="new_at_mention" <?php selected( $selected, 'new_at_mention' ); ?>><?php _e( 'Mentions', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
			<option value="bbp_new_reply"  <?php selected( $selected, 'bbp_new_reply'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="new_message"  <?php selected( $selected, 'new_message'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Messages', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="ac_notifier"  <?php selected( $selected, 'ac_notifier'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Activity', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="localgroupnotifier"  <?php selected( $selected, 'localgroupnotifier'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="friendship_accepted"  <?php selected( $selected, 'friendship_accepted'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Friend Accepts', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
            <option value="friendship_request"  <?php selected( $selected, 'friendship_request'  ); ?>><?php _e( 'Friend Requests', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>
		</select>
