BuddyPress.org

@KalanStar

I have this same problem. I thought it was because I upgraded from a previous version and had a bunch of plugins causing a conflict. I just purged my site of BuddyPress including anything from pre-1.7.2 (including any DB entries), I reinstalled 1.7.2 and I have nothing in my Activity page, nothing in the Site Tracking page, nothing in User Groups, and all of my BuddyPress pages have ‘Viewing ARchives for “” ‘ at the top of the content area.

You wouldn’t happen to have Better WP Security running would you, and have renamed your DB Tables? I’m trying desparately to solve this problem and nothing seems to be working. I created all of my sub-blogs via the Admin console so the bug appears to still be there and several more. I’m running Pagelines Framework.

@patricksaad
It would be a good plugin, from what I can see your method involves throttling for the activity stream correct? Not really projected towards friend request correct? I personally would like to see this feature towards both so hopefully it will come to fruition. Maybe you can create two plugins off this idea?

I have a theme that is buddypress ready, however when users go to register they are emailed an activation key. When clicked on OR imputed into the Activation spot on our website, it says Invalid and requests for the user to enter in their email to reset password.

Once the user does, a new password is emailed. When the user then goes to login, it claims there is no such user.

Can anyone offer a solution to this? Our website is hosuewivesmag.com. I also have ANYONE Can register checked in the settings.

I’m having this same issue, but on a newer version of BP (1.7.1). I’ve submitted a ticket to report this bug, https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5046#ticket. The error doesn’t occur if *all* fields of the extended profile are filled out.

Hello,

Brilliant work! Awesome app and plugin.
Thanks!

If your using BuddyPress then it should login users to use forums as well. I think you may want to post this issue on the bbpress forums as well.

@hahvensa – My programmer, a member of this forum, is unable to have her replies go live or be shown in her history, so after reading your post she had an idea and fixed it – she asked me to post this –

we don’t use the dropdown select box, but while troubleshooting I put it back on and it doesn’t work for us either. I don’t know a solution to that since we don’t need it.

On the alphabetical issue: I finally found a way to make it work. I had to edit a core buddypress file though. bp-core/bp-core-classes.php on line 253, I changed from $sql['orderby'] = "ORDER BY u.display_name";
to
$sql['orderby'] = "ORDER BY u.user_login";

Of course this only works for us because we chose to use the business names as the people’s usernames. The sorting by display name, although should work, shows the list out of order. I can’t figure out why, but the core file edit has solved the problem. That will be frustrating on upgrades, but at least it now works.

Before the upgrade, we were sorting by display name and it worked fine, and this sounds like a workaround – Using buddypress for a chamber of commerce seemed like a good idea at the time, and overall we’ve been pretty happy, but is there any paid support somewhere?

Reason you ought to write as a plugin for own use is while you should offer the code through trac for consideration for adding to core there is no guarantee it will be accepted so if it’s that necessary for you safer to keep running as a plugin until such time as it’s merged into core.

You shouldn’t edit those files. You can add settings with a plugin. If you want that as a core feature then post on http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org then submit a patch of working code.

Similar issue –

After upgrading Buddypress to the latest version of 1.7.2, the “sort alphabetically” is no longer working when viewing the list of members:
http://www.eastportlandchamberofcommerce.com/business-directory

It’s not working when you view all members, search results, or when choosing to view members in categories. In members-loop.php, here’s the line of code that has worked up until now:

<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring('members').'&type=alphabetical&per_page=500' ) ) : ?>

On another note, our programmer has posted this issue twice here since Monday, but her post has not appeared visible to her or to me, or presumably, to others. (Budddypress user, Dzynit) – Any ideas why that’s happening?

@sooskriszta I agree that the plugin is a terrible idea. Throttling is one thing (telling the user “hey slow down a bit”) but setting an absolute limit for the number of friendships goes against the concept of a community.

Going back to the ORIGINAL point of this topic, I said I will add throttling to the activity page and the friendship requests, but I ran into small trouble and thought maybe some of you people can help out. I opened another topic https://buddypress.org/support/topic/add-custom-setting-to-buddypress-settings/, I appreciate it if you can check it out and help out. @synaptic @sooskriszta

If you have a list Henry create a new page in the codex, leave it as a draft if you’re unsure or want feedback and one of can look it over – anyone can add pages the docs team is very ad hoc any entries to the codex welcomed but possibly edited here and there 🙂

The file directories give you a good idea or are as good a ref as any, ones that can catch you out are /members/single/ where you need to remember that there are two nuisance files 🙂 plugins.php & settings.php which have their own full structure (are not template_parts) or that need to be considered.

Before the change I had the grey around the navigation of friends forums etc but that disappeared with the templates being disabled.

Not quite sure what you mean. You lost all BP styles? What do you mean by “templates disabled”? BP components are rendered automagically via theme’s page.php file.

i have the same problem, please share your solution!
thanks

@thecrow72 basically, BuddyPress uses the WP email functions for its registration process. Deactivate BuddyPress, bbPress and other plugins then check your WP registration/activation emails, etc. If it’s not working, then please resolve your issue at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

Before activating BuddyPress, read https://codex.buddypress.org/user/before-installing/

Good luck!

@sarathbabu_k can’t even guess what’s up with your installation. Need more information like WP/BP versions? Theme used? Plugins installed? New installation or upgraded from previous BP/WP version? Did you check if links in posts (blog posts or status updates or forum posts?) were working before BuddyPress was installed or not?

@junithorn BP 1.7 theme compatibility -> https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/ see “Overloading Template Compatibility theme files”

@bkypes starting from scratch – might I suggest that before installing pagelines theme and other plugins, test BuddyPress with Twenty Twelve theme – registration, group creation, etc.? That way, you can ID issues to be resolved if something goes wrong when pagelines theme/plugin are activated and you’ll be able to report specifics to pagelines theme developers.

the plugin is “breaking” the layout because its using different content tags

@millo it’s more like your theme is using proprietary templating system. BuddyPress is compatible with nearly all of the WordPress themes in the market.

BuddyPress uses the page.php file to render BP components. Open up your theme’s page.php file and Save As > buddypress.php and ask your theme developer to change the respective proprietary tags to show the_title and the_content in source.

After that’s done, upload buddypress.php file into your theme folder in server.

@galavrah deactivate plugins batch by batch except BuddyPress to check which plugin is causing the issue.
