Yes buddypress is on both pages, I control both pages through 1 cpanel, and yes I can activate 1 at a time, the bulk is what is not working. I always have had pending since I started my page and the bulk activate use to work just fine. I have separate plugin ins to catch spammers and spam. I only use the settings buddypress comes with, no mods at all.
Have you installed both site on a same or separate WordPress, and same question about BuddyPress ?
Another question about 3500 pending request.
Are you sure these aren’t spammers ? Why are they pending ? Have you setup this behave or is it a sudden amount of registerer ?
Can you activate one account at time ? Or is only bulk activation defect ?
Do you use a custom function building a widget ?
if you used the old php4 method
parent::WP_Widget( false, $name = __( 'My widget' ) );
you should now use
parent::__construct( false, $name = __( 'My widget' ) );
This can also be in a theme or a plugin. BuddyPress use _construct method and is not concerned.
If you deactivate WP_DEBUG in wp-config, the notice will disapear. And it’s only a notice, nothing will sudenly stop to work.

Hi,
When I go to the member area: profile > edit > Name
Please kindly help to advise where I can translate ‘Name’ as I can’t translate it in the buddypress po/mo file. Thanks very much in advance!
I know i can use BuddyPress Registration Groups since i just found it but it’s not a required field. I guess it does what i need but would be nice if it was a required field, even nicer if the group image was there instead of the check box.
I am abandoning trying to use the profile.php file by adding a case and just going with a new file in members/single/filename using this similar code (which works as intended):
function custom_bp_nav() {
global $bp;
bp_core_new_nav_item(
array(
'name' => __( 'Site Settings', 'buddypress' ),
'slug' => 'site-settings',
'position' => 80,
'screen_function' => 'site_settings_screen',
'default_subnav_slug' => 'site-settings',
'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->slug . '/',
'parent_slug' => $bp->slug
) );
}
function site_settings_screen() {
//add title and content here - last is to call the members plugin.php template
add_action( 'bp_template_title', 'site_settings_screen_title' );
add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'site_settings_screen_content' );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/test' ) );
}
function site_settings_screen_title() {
echo 'Site Settings';
}
function site_settings_screen_content() {
echo 'Content here';
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'custom_bp_nav', 50 );

@chevalhack, of course it is ! This forum is installed on WP 4.3. What is not working… do you see warnings or notice ? Give details please !
@toggerybob, seems it’s your membership plugin who brings these warnings.
If it is Memberhip 2, it was updated today.

Hello all,
Buddypress is not working with the new update of wordpress 4.3.
A new update of buddypress is coming ?
Sorry, part of the above is not true. I am using bp-custom.php. The only function in there is to disable BP registration.
//EDIT
Oh my! I just found this post https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bp-legacy-in-bp-templates/ . Am I supposed to be using the files from bp-legacy as this post suggests? If so, what a terrible name for a folder!
Thanks for your reply @danbp! I got the profile.php from bp-default. I had previously placed bp-default custom edit.php and change-avatar.php inside the child theme at single/profile folder without a problem.
Yes, I use many custom functions in my functions.php file but I have not made use of bp-custom.php.
I also have a custom template titled plugin-buddypress.php in my child-theme folder above the buddypress folder.
I disabled all the profile plugins (pics, follow, cover, conditional field groups) and commented out all functions acting on Buddypress in my functions.php file. This did not make a difference! I still have a blank loop with the profile.php added to my child theme.
//EDIT
And I am running BP 2.3.2.1 on WP 4.2.4
BuddyPress use bbPress when you allow group forums.
If the group is private, the attached forum is also hidden ton non members of that group. Same for public or private groups.
You don’t have to change the group forum setting in the forum list.
The right steps
Create a group A
A is set to private
Allow a forum for A
—— The wrong step ——–
Going to dashboard forum admin, and set forum A to private. If you do this nobody will see it except site admin.

How can i make a forum, topic, group, visible to members, but not visible to non-members?
I have downloaded buddypress in order to use it internally amongst members (admins),
but when i create a group i have 3 options, Public, Private, Hidden.
I don’t want it to be public, because non-members can see the topics and threads,
Private however, is still visible by non-members.
And hidden just straight up doesn’t show it on the page, not even members can see it.
Neither option caters for what i need.
Does anyone know how to make a group, forum topic, hidden to non-members, but visible to members?
Thanks in advance!
Hey,
I have a blog on my website that I use to talk about updates for Clash of Clans and also my program. It’s hard to explain but I don’t like the current commenting system. Our users are primarily forum users so they are used to a forum format. I was wondering two things.
1. Integration of passwords between my forum login and buddypress (so same authentication details will work on both)
2. If say I put a forum on the homepage right under each of the three article links that they could talk about the forums could I do this? If you want to see you can see at clashbot.org. I want like a forum they can use for each article discussion.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Jordan

@ricsca2 – you are wise to be weary of plugins that are not in the wp-repo – but I think for the wrong reason. I am more concerned that plugins have not had the extra security checks that are run through the official repo. However I have seen more useful plugins for BP outside of the official repo – like the updated one for affecting the activity stream blocking – only on github, ones that get good support on wpmudev, etc.
I want to have faith in the ‘media press’ mentioned above, and I bet many are using it successfully – so it’s worth a try for a short term solution.
You concern about “extensions unofficial because if the developer ceases to update them” – should go beyond things in or not in the wp dot org repo – and it is a valid concern given the history of WP / BP and plugins in general – especially in regard to photo uploads / handling.
Back in the day it was “bp-album” – in the repo – worked. Support ceased – abandoned. Updates to wp / bp broke it.
Rtmedia came in (and for a very short while there was actually an importer / exported from bp-album to rtmedia!) – things have changed – rtmedia is likely the most used plugin for BP – and now they have made it an over-bloated POS (IMHO) – and now when things break they only offer support for paid / premium addons.
(begging for media export options here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/rtmedia-export-script-attachments-api/
Now there are some other options – still no way to export the data. There are some things being worked on – but nothing definitive. Some great foundations being laid (bpattachments now a (not yet used) thing) –
This is why I have asked time and time again for picture / media handling to be added to BP core –
most recently a year and half ago (https://buddypress.org/support/topic/photos-albums-media-please/ ) – plus in the buddypress surveys.
so future updates will consider breaking this very important piece of live social networks.
However for now we are stuck with not knowing if things are going to work now, or next update. Just like we have been for years..
I’m suddenly getting a blank white screen whenever I try to promote or remove a user from a group. When I turned-on debugging, the only messages I saw were about an unrelated logout redirect. I’m not sure how to proceed. Can anyone give me an idea of what to try next? Or alternatively, how I can manually promote or remove users from the DB in the meantime while I troubleshoot this?
I’m running WP 4.24 and BuddyPress 2.3.2.1. Thank you!
You’re declaring 3 arguments, but only one is given if you are testing this localy.
Possible local scenarion you used:
– you create a new user
– you login as admin and activate the pending user. You get 3 warnings. Logout.
– login as new user.
– you see the message
Remove $key & $user and redo the same and all went fine.
Use function send_msg_to_new_member( $user_id ) and change 3 to 1.
Add also a conditional check to test if the messages component is active. (see link blow).
Not tested yet on live site.

Hi everyone, I am a little stumped as to why the profile-loop disappears when I add the profile.php page to my child theme (buddypress/members/single/).
I would like to modify the profile.php page to add an additional template with corresponding query vars but every time I add the page (unmodified from the default folder) to my child theme the loop disappears! I have BuddyPics and BP Follow installed and they display properly when clicked…just not the loop!
Thanks for any insight

BP’s registration template is in: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.3.2/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php
Copy it to your child-theme, /your-theme/buddypress/members/register.php, and make your change in that copy.
In some case, you could also use bp_get_template_part filter.

Hi, I’ve managed to find a few messages about this with various, similar solutions, but I can’t seem to get it working –
I want to do something like the Welcome Pack plugin used to do, and send a message to every new user so it is in the inbox of the new user when they log in waiting to welcome them.
Here’s the code I’ve got which I’ve tried in both functions and bp custom with no success:
//send msg to new user
function send_msg_to_new_member( $user_id, $key, $user ) {
$args = array(
'sender_id' => 1,
'thread_id' => false,
'recipients' => array( $user_id ),
'subject' => 'Welcome to the site',
'content' => 'Content of msg goes here',
'date_sent' => bp_core_current_time()
);
$result = messages_new_message( $args );
}
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'send_msg_to_new_member', 3 );
?>
Has anyone done this themselves, or got any suggestions as to what I’m doing wrong?
Many thanks
Hi @david-ar,
if you expect for help, give detais related to BuddyPress, not FB. Which option are you talking about?
