Hello,

I am having the same problem also. It was fine until I updated Buddypress. “The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Search Page. Repair” Is the homepage notification. I choose the pages and the settings do not save.

Hi @betro99

Sorry you have this issue after upgrading. If you go in Settings > BuddyPress > Page are the registration and activate page set ? If you go in Settings > General > Anyone can register is activated ?

Hi @espyd,

Sorry you are having this issue after upgrading. Just to help us understand why it’s happening, could you reply to these questions:

WordPress version ?
WordPress configuation ? (Multisite or not)
If multisite: is BuddyPress activated on the main site or in a sub site ?
In the General settings of WordPress is the registration setting on ?
Are you using a cache plugin ?

Interesting discussion 🙂

First i’ll explain why i’m using bp_is_active( 'activity' ) : it’s just an extra check to be absolutely sure the activity component is active. I do it because BuddyPress is a set of components you can activate / deactivate from the BuddyPress settings. So if the activity component is not active, no need to add Post Type activities. And when you develop a BuddyPress plugin, you need to remember there can be configs that deactivated the component you are extending.

Second, about the contexts argument. In this codex page https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/post-types-activities/ i’m describing a bit his role
Here https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/activity-dropdown-filters-in-templates/ i’m talking about the way we are getting the activity types since BuddyPress 2.1 And finally reading this page https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_activity_set_action/ you will see the interest of the contexts argument.
In short the contexts argument is a way to control where you want an option (activity action) to be displayed. For instance if you want to include an option into the single group’s home page dropdown filter you do contexts => array( 'group' )

In the case of a post type, i think in most cases there’s not a great interest to have the activity filter in the group’s single home page because in most cases the post type have been created out of a BuddyPress group (mainly in WP Admin actually). That’s why in my example i suggest to use 'contexts' => array( 'activity', 'member' ), ‘activity’ means display the dropdown option into the activity directory and ‘member’ display it into the member’s profile. The ‘member’ context is interesting in the case of Post Types activities because a post type is always created by a user_id.

Now with the question “could it be possible to display Post type activities into a given group’s stream ?” we must understand this part 'component_id' => 'activity' Here you are defining the component you want the Post type activities to be linked to. So you could say cool! lets put ‘groups’ to have activities in groups. But here you’d be wrong because all generated activities would be displayed in the first group the one having the id #1 (If multisite it could give another illusion…) Why id #1, because it’s the id of the blog where was created the post type. So you would need to have a different value depending from which group the post type was posted. As in core we don’t include a feature to post a post type from a group, by default we are setting the item_id field to the current blog.

Unless you want to arbitrary display the activity in one particular group, i’d say this need should only concern Plugins extending the Groups component. Of course it’s possible, and i’ve done it for one of my plugin.

I hope my explanations will help you @youmin.

I am leaning toward Buddyblock but would like to wait for this functionality to be introduced to the core product to ensure compatibility and support down the road.

BuddyBlock is compatible with BuddyPress 1.7 or higher, including BuddyPress 2.2
BuddyBlock will be supported down the road.

Hi @@garrett-eclipse

Is this something that happened on here in these forums, or did it happen on your own BuddyPress website?

@slothlovechunk – Thanks for your in-depth debugging.

This does seem like a bug. Can you create a new ticket with exactly what you wrote here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket (use the same credentials as you use here on buddypress.org)

And reference this ticket where the meta SQL changes were made:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5919

Thanks so much!

Looking at that theme I can see it states it’s BP compatible, however they state compatible to:
BuddyPress 2.1.x.

Plugin authors and theme authors are the ones that need to check and if necessary update their work to be fully compatible with each BP release, same goes for WP releases, so hopefully the theme authors will check their theme over and release any necessary updates, if, that is, it is a theme issue.

Please don’t double post. Wait at least 24 hours before bumping…

At What priority does Easy Custom Post Types hooks ‘init’ ?

You need to be sure the post type has been defined before using bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args() so change ‘bp_init’ to ‘init’ and try to add a very late priority, eg:

// Don't forget to add the 'buddypress-activity' support!
add_post_type_support( 'sd_article', 'buddypress-activity' );
 
function customize_page_tracking_args() {
    // Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
    if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
        return;
    }
 
    bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'sd_article', array(
        'component_id'             => 'activity',
        'action_id'                => 'new_sd_article',
        'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'Neuer Artikel veröffentlicht', 'custom-domain' ),
        'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Artikel', 'custom-domain' ),
        'contexts'                 => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
        'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s hat den neuen <a href="%2$s">Artikel</a>', 'sozialdynamik' ),
        'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s hat den neuen <a href="%2$s">Artikel</a>, on the site %3$s', 'sozialdynamik' ),
        'position'                 => 100,
    ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'customize_page_tracking_args', 1000 );

You’re welcome 🙂 BuddyPress 2.2 is awesome !

1/ I don’t understand why you are switching to the page post type ?

2/ Where is registered the sd_article post type ?

3/ if you’re the one registering the post type, maybe you should define the BuddyPress activity support directly when registering it. eg:

function plugin_registers_post_type() {
	$args = array(
		'public'   => true,
		'labels'   => array(
			'name'                     => __( 'Artikel', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'singular_name'            => __( 'Artikel', 'sozialdynamik' ),
			'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'Neuer Artikel veröffentlicht', 'sozialdynamik' ),
			'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Artikel', 'sozialdynamik' ),
 			'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s hat den neuen <a href="%2$s">Artikel</a>', 'sozialdynamik' ),
 			'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s hat den neuen <a href="%2$s">Artikel</a>, on the site %3$s', 'sozialdynamik' ),
		),
		'supports'    => array( 'title', 'editor', 'buddypress-activity' ),
		'bp_activity' => array(
			'component_id' => 'activity',
			'action_id'    => 'new_sd_article',
			'contexts'     => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
			'position'     => 100,
		),
	);
	register_post_type( 'sd_article', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'plugin_registers_post_type' );

Just like it’s explained here: https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/post-types-activities/#adding-the-buddypress-support-and-specific-labels-at-post-type-registration
