Chrome works for me….

There are no ‘future events’ in buddypress itself so it would need a plugin or custom programming…..

https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/ supports buddypress but I haven’t used them together!

I am having the same problem. I am using Suffusion theme with the latest Buddypress 1.8.1 and WordPress 3.6. Specifically Widget Logic no longer works with Buddypress. When I uninstall Buddypress it works fine but when I reinstall the latest Buddypress the Widget logic no longer works.
I am ok to switch to a different plugin to control widget display if someone has tested one that works with the latest Buddypress.

Here’s what some BP Core Team members already said about scalability

Yes, I think one of the BP core developers worked at The Telegraph before his move to Automattic.

I would guess the number of active users should be the main metric to use. A site with 1m inactive users will test just how much data the server can hold whereas a site with 1m active users will test so much more.

See this response I found on Quora from @jjj:

Sounds like you are using an old / outdated plugin with a recent version of BuddyPress.

Looks like called wp-cache might be the problem — see if this link helps you https://wordpress.org/support/topic/advanced-cachephp-problems-on-upgrade

Line 1447 of the buddypress file global.js relates to the comments section….

see:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js?rev=7349#L1447
That line has changed from previous versions….

A simple google search with part of the 2nd line lead me to:

You’ll need to know the user_id for the teacher.

Then check the array for that id. If it’s found, remove it.

And tell the student why, something like:

bp_core_add_message( __( 'You cannot send a private message to the teacher.', 'buddypress' ), 'error' );

Do you know how to use filters?

Take a look at function send() in
\buddypress\bp-messages\bp-messages-classes.php

It has lots of filters.
I’d use the do_action_ref_array

I’m getting this same exact error as well, using the latest installs of WordPress, Buddypress and BBpress.

Anyone know how to fix it? Or rather… get it working? 🙂

Hello everyone, I have got a fix for this. Are you using WordPress SEO by Yoast? If you are using this plugin, go to Permalinks, and uncheck redirect ugly url to clean ones. That will fix the problem for you. It fixed mine! This note is from the plugin author: People make mistakes in their links towards you sometimes, or unwanted parameters are added to the end of your URLs, this allows you to redirect them all away. Please note that while this is a feature that is actively maintained, it is known to break several plugins, and should for that reason be the first feature you disable when you encounter issues after installing this plugin.

The BuddyPress team should be able to give you a better answer, but one thing I came across while deciding about whether to use BP or not was that in the UK the Daily Telegraph’s user section is based on a custom version of BuddyPress and, a year or so ago, was reported to have around 150,000 users, which at the time was thought to make it the biggest site in terms of active users.

Since then BuddyPress 1.7 re-engineered queries to make them much faster when working with large DBs.

I would have thought that if you get to a position where you are pushing the boundaries of what BuddyPress (and WordPress) are capable of, you should have the resources to invest in optimisation/customisation as required.

All this assuming, of course, you are doing everything else possible to improve performance and are not running your mega-site on some cheap shared hosting plan.

Take a look at @shanebp’s posts in this thread:

I’d also be interested to know how scalable BuddyPress is…? Never really tested it past a few thousand members.

This is my working new tab in bp-custom.php if this helps

// Set up Custom BP navigation
function my_setup_nav() {   
   if ( user_can( bp_displayed_user_id(), 'job_applicant' ) ) {  
   global $bp;
      bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
            'name' => __( 'Portfolio', 'buddypress' ),
            'slug' => 'portfolio',
            'position' => 20,
            'screen_function' => 'profile_screen_portfolio' 
      ) );

      // Change the order of menu items
      $bp->bp_nav['messages']['position'] = 100;
  }
}

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'my_setup_nav' );

// show portfolio when 'Portfolio' tab is clicked
function profile_screen_portfolio() {
add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'profile_screen_portfolio_show' );
bp_core_load_template( 'members/single/plugins' );
}

function profile_screen_portfolio_show() {

// call your stats template
locate_template( array( 'portfolio-profile.php' ), true );

}

If you have made a child theme you could use this tutorial and it limits friends to view your profile.
http://wpmu.org/how-to-add-profile-privacy-to-buddypress/
Other than that then you are limited to the premium plugins listed above. I have tried the plugin I recommended and it works.

i had the same problem. there was a conflict in some themes, but others not. in my case i changed all instances of “jQuery” to “jq” in the easing function (line 1540) in the file buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.js
