BuddyPress.org

Under certain circumstances, there is an infinite loop inside the bp_legacy_theme_new_activity_comment() function. Specifically, when all of the secondary_item_id fields are zero, the $parent_id will continually be set to zero. An infinite loop ensues and eventually the script will time out. This causes new activity items to not display until the page is refreshed, as mentioned here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/activity-comments-post-blank-until-refresh/.

This error happens when attempting to add a comment to a group post. I believe this is a similar problem as the one expressed here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/activity-comments-post-blank-until-refresh/

For information:

• WordPress 4.5.3
• BuddyPress 2.6.1.1
• Single site install in web root
• There are indeed other plugins activated on this site. The full list is below. This site is for a client, and I’m unsure of which plugins can be safely deactivated to test.
• We’re using a customized theme, but I have tested with the TwentySixteen theme and found the same results.
• The core BuddyPress files have not been modified to my knowledge.
• The site is hosted on Page.ly, but I can reproduce the problems in a local VVV install
• The live site is http://www.lifeofdad.com/

I believe that this may be a problem inside BuddyPress itself, as the function with the infinite loop is part of BuddyPress. The Javascript that makes the Ajax request is part of the BuddyPress Wall plugin, but from what I can tell the problem is in the aforementioned bp_legacy_theme_new_activity_comment() function.

My specific concern is this loop:

	// Load the new activity item into the $activities_template global.
	bp_has_activities( 'display_comments=stream&hide_spam=false&show_hidden=true&include=' . $comment_id );

	// Swap the current comment with the activity item we just loaded.
	if ( isset( $activities_template->activities[0] ) ) {
		$activities_template->activity = new stdClass();
		$activities_template->activity->id              = $activities_template->activities[0]->item_id;
		$activities_template->activity->current_comment = $activities_template->activities[0];

		// Because the whole tree has not been loaded, we manually
		// determine depth.
		$depth = 1;
		$parent_id = (int) $activities_template->activities[0]->secondary_item_id;
		while ( $parent_id !== (int) $activities_template->activities[0]->item_id ) {
			$depth++;
			$p_obj = new BP_Activity_Activity( $parent_id );
			$parent_id = (int) $p_obj->secondary_item_id;
		}
		$activities_template->activity->current_comment->depth = $depth;
	}

I’ve run XDebug locally to inspect the items in the loop as it is running. If some of the raw variable data is required, I can provide that.

I have tried making some changes to the code in this loop to prevent the infinite loop from occurring. While successful in that endeavor with a few tweaks, the result is that the comment sent back through the Ajax response is the wrong comment, and a page refresh is still needed.

I considered filing a bug in Trac, but I wasn’t certain whether something else could possibly be interfering.

Hi all

There is something I can’t get my head around.

I installed the paid membership pro and buddypress plugin. I added 3 membership levels; free, gold, platinum.

In Buddypress I associated the register page with the page called register (I am sure it’s the paid membership pro one).

In the main menu I added Register and it points to the membership levels page of paid membership pro and then it goes to my membership level pages; so far so good.

In posts I added a ppost that I linked to a category; the category is only for gold and platinum members. Paid membership pro does a good job when I click that post as a visitor, it shows me the message it is content for gold and platinum. But…

Beneath this message are 2 buttons; login and register. They both point to the default login and register page in WordPress. I want this to point to membership levels page so visitors can sign up.

How can I solve this? Maybe i am overlooking something, but after 6 hours of puzzling with WordPress i may have overlooked something

• Wondering how to use the new Navigation API ontroduced in BP 2.6 ?
• Want to change menu item names ?
• Change item position ?

and more…

Find many examples on this new codex page:

Navigation API

So now that there’s this new Navigation API, the nav item and the subnav item that i’ve hidden before are now visible again after updating to latest Buddypress 2.6.
As a reference, here’s how I did this before;

function my_setup_nav() {
      global $bp;
	$bp->bp_nav['vendor-dashboard']['position'] = 7;
	$bp->bp_nav['my-store']['position'] = 9;
	$bp->bp_nav['shopping']['position'] = 8;
	$bp->bp_nav['follow-store']['position'] = 10;

	// Remove a menu item
        $bp->bp_nav['events'] = false;
        $bp->bp_options_nav['shopping']['view_order']= false;
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'my_setup_nav', 1000 );

The repositioning still works, but as said above, removing the subnav doesn’t work anymore. I’m quite a noob in programming to be honest. I’ve looked at the page linked by the changelog but I have no idea how to do it with the ‘new method’. Can anybody help a noob here please? Thanks in advance!

WordPress 4.2.2 running Vantage Premium theme

BuddyPress Version 2.5.3

Website is WaxUnion.com

I haven’t been able to get buddypress to work now for awhile.

Everything was working great and just one day it stopped working.

I’m pretty sure I didn’t make any updates or anything that caused the change.

The links are under the social link in the menu.

I cant access profiles, members, activity stream, or the register page it all just loops back to the homepage with page title at the top of screen. If i turn off buddypress then the register page works fine.

Since the problem I have updated buddypress, turned off all other plugins to check conflict, and double checked all settings… nothing has seemed to help.

I have read that possibly there is a database / file problem maybe where maybe certain files are not in the right spot in the control panel / database and that could case this problem, but I’m not sure.

I could really use some help or maybe pointed in the right direction … Thanks

WordPress 4.4.2
BuddyPress 2.5.1

Not sure how to change up the form where users would update their extended profile.

I was able to setup a custom registration page by copying the source file to here and making my changes…

/wp-content/themes/genbu-child/buddypress/members/register.php

On the user Profile – Edit page I’m seeing the different fields I wanted to include, but wanted to add some extra description to the three birth date menus that show up. Is there a file similar to register.php I could copy to my child theme and fix up the HTML how I want it?
