I’m afraid all bbPress specific questions are better to be asked on the bbPress forum.
I’ve checked their forum and I see that you got some answers, so it’s going, perhaps just not as fast as you wish. But all the help on forums is by volunteers, so it may take time 🙂

Hello, I’m currently using bbpress 2.6.6 and buddypress 7.1.0, (wordpress 5.6, php 7.4.12, theme is siteorigin-unwind 1.6.6), and experiencing this problem as mentioned here, (members of hidden groups not being able to see the topics of the sub-forum). I’m a newbie with the background code, though my private and public groups are working. I can see the fix 7443 in buddypress.js that was indicated then, but am wondering if other people still have a problem with this, and if so if there is another fix available. Thank you.

I’m sorry I was not very precise I ask again the question:

I should organize a forum for my association to date we have managed communications with mailing lists, all posts (over one hundred thousand) are archived in a gmail box where the mailing list is indicated in the subject, so [ap-tech 10500] … is the number of msg 10500 from the ap-tech mailing list, [ap-comm 3000] … msg number 3000 from the ap-comm mailing list and so on …
Is it possible to import emails into BuddyPress and create as many forums as there are lists?
so the ap-tech forum will keep emails with the subject ap-tech, ap-comm those with the subject ap-comm and so on.
We need to historicize 20 years of emails and make them available in the forums.
thanks and best wishes for a happy new year

I have scoured Google, YouTube, and even this very forum for an answer but no one has been able to help me. I’ve even tried talking to Elegant Themes and they were of no help – blaming it on the plugin developers, even though they created the feature. Also, time is running out for me to incorporated this into the website, so I’m desperate. Plus, I KNOW I’m not the ONLY one in the world who has encountered this problem. I can’t be…

I’m using WordPress version 5.5.3 and BuddyPress version 7.1.0. I’m building a website for an online college using Divi (version 4.7.7, developed by Elegant Themes). Out of the box, Divi is compatible with BuddyPress, except when it comes to the Theme Builder.

I have a template I created using the Theme Builder that I associate for the pages generated by BuddyPress (User Groups, Members, Activity). On the theme, there’s a module called the Post Content Module which renders whatever content is entered in the page/post body field through the admin dashboard.

For whatever reason, it will not render the content from the BuddyPress generated pages, or allow the children of those pages (such as profiles) from rendering within the Post Content Module. If I turn the theme template off on those BuddyPress generated pages, the content shows up. But, it’s out of theming with the rest of the website.

I have recorded a video that shows exactly what I’m talking about that can be looked at by clicking here.

Please, please, please can someone give me an answer and a fix for this issue. I’ve tried reaching out to Elegant Themes, the creator of Divi, and they were of absolutely no help at all.

Under the forum at this site in the statistics, Buddypress shows pictures (avatars?) showing who is online and who was shortly online. But the picture frames are empty, showing the preset dummy only. How can I get there the Avatars of the registered users?

Hi Guys,

I recently downloaded this plugin a couple of months ago. I can’t seem to get the “Send Invites” to work. When I send invites to an email I don’t see any messages indication message was successfully sent and I don’t get invite from my site. Other plugins automatically send messages successfully, so I assume this plugin should send messages successfully too.

I searched the forum, but didn’t find anything useful to help me. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

Hi there,

Although, I understand the frustration behind this need to find a new place to discuss about BuddyPress, I’m wondering if we could find ways to improve BuddyPress support forums to match everyone needs and have :

– A place to discuss about using BuddyPress
– A place to discuss about extending BuddyPress
– A place to discuss about designing for BuddyPress

If you have ideas and want to contribute about this subject, I’m totally in favor of having a specific & regular 1 hour chat into the BuddyPress slack channel.

Hi,

Mega newbie on BuddyPress,
When a new user select a group (when he register) or when the moderator after a register select a group for this user,
how to attach / permission / a user to the same Forum Group (status private) ?

Thank you !

[shanebp]

Yes, stack is great.
While it would be nice to avoid all the spam on these forums, who would answer questions on a BP stack?

There are unofficial Facebook groups for BuddyPress and BuddyBoss.
Participation in the former is scant, while the latter is booming.

Hi, i feel like im doing this properly but i never get the right result. i have a custom meta called “featured” in activity meta. For testing purposes the meta values are 1,2,3,4 my goal is to have an activity loop order activities by the meta value. i’ve checked the documentation and i came up with this.

<?php

get_header(); ?>

<?php get_template_part('page-parts/general-title-section'); ?>

<?php get_template_part('page-parts/general-before-wrap');

$atts =  array(
			'title'            => 'Latest Activity',// title of the section.
			'pagination'       => 1,// show or not.
			'load_more'        => 0,
			'display_comments' => 'threaded',
			'include'          => false,     // pass an activity_id or string of IDs comma-separated
			'exclude'          => false,     // pass an activity_id or string of IDs comma-separated
			'in'               => false,     // comma-separated list or array of activity IDs among which to search
			'sort'             => 'DESC',    // sort DESC or ASC
			'page'             => 1,         // which page to load
			'per_page'         => 5,         // how many per page.
			'max'              => false,     // max number to return.
			'count_total'      => true,

			// Scope - pre-built activity filters for a user (friends/groups/favorites/mentions).
			'scope'            => false,

			// Filtering
			'user_id'          => false,    // user_id to filter on
			'object'           => false,    // object to filter on e.g. groups, profile, status, friends
			'action'           => false,    // action to filter on e.g. activity_update, new_forum_post, profile_updated
			'primary_id'       => false,    // object ID to filter on e.g. a group_id or forum_id or blog_id etc.
			'secondary_id'     => false,    // secondary object ID to filter on e.g. a post_id.

			// Searching
			'search_terms'     => false,         // specify terms to search on.
			'use_compat'       => bp_use_theme_compat_with_current_theme(),
			'allow_posting'    => false,    // experimental, some of the themes may not support it.
			'container_class'  => 'activity',// default container,
			'hide_on_activity' => 1,// hide on user and group activity pages.
			'for'              => '', // 'logged','displayed','author'.
			'role'             => '', // use one or more role here(e.g administrator,editor etc).
            'for_group'        => '',// group slug.
		);

		$atts['meta_query']= array(
                                    array(
                                        'key' => 'featured',

            </div> 

        <?php else : ?>

            </div>
        <?php endif; ?>
        
?>
			</div>
		

		<?php do_action( 'bp_after_activity_loop' ); ?>

<?php get_template_part('page-parts/general-after-wrap'); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

everything here works except for the order. for some reason it always orders by activity ID. am i missing something here? Thanks in advance im going crazy with this.

I have a client BuddyPress site I have been developing but running into trouble finding a solution for her request.

1) She’d like to only allow admins to post main posts to the Activity Stream BUT allowing commenting from anyone on these posts (for a conversation).

2) AND/OR She’d like all activity posts / comments not made by an admin to be held for moderation and not posted until an admin approves the post.

On number 2, I have looked into the BuddyPress Moderation but it doesn’t appear this is accomplished with the plug in.

On the 1st question I can’t see anything related except perhaps integrating buddy forums and using that as the group discussions manager.

HELP! Thanks in advance!

[James Maiden]

H there,
I have been using BuddyPress for many years, but no longer need it.
When I deactivated BuddyPress, non of my user avatars displayed in comments, forums, etc.
I noticed the image files remain on the server, but realised that these must be somehow associated with BuddyPress and not WP.

Is there any way to migrate the avatar association back to WP, so that when I deactivate BuddyPress, my users still retain their avatars?

I would rather not keep BuddyPress active just to display user avatars.

Thanks.

[benjaminblue]

Hi,

I have a WordPress user who is an administrator and set to KeyMaster, but when logged in with that user I see the forums and the topics in the WordPress dashboard, but I still don’t see the forums link. Also on the plug-ins page there is no settings, or the same settings link that would be in the main settings dashboard menu is not there as well.

And somewhat related maybe, I have created user accounts in the past that I’m pretty sure I was able to assign as a KeyMaster but lately when I create a new user the highest level it will let me choose in the drop-down on the new user profile page is moderator. Does anyone know what I missing?

Hello. Brand new install of WP 5.5.3 and BuddyPress 6.3.0 on a server running MySQL Version
5.6.32 & PHP Version 7.4.10 with NO OTHER plugins active & running on 2020 template.

On Page: https://www.rolevant.com/members/rolevantist/profile/change-avatar/

I can upload the image and am given the option to crop the uploaded image. However, once I select my crop area and I press the crop button the <upload & crop> area disappears & a red box WITH NO MESSAGE appears. Nothing else happens.

The original files are being uploaded to
https://rolevant.com/wp-content/uploads/avatars/1/&#8230;

But no automatically resized or manually cropped images are being saved anywhere.

Other similar Avatar Crop issues from 8-10 years ago exist on this forum, but nothing that is applicable to these latest versions. Any & all fixes (incompatable javascipt, JQuery, AJAX version incompatibility with JQUERY/AJAx versions called by templates) are just not relevant here. Please Help!!!

BuddyBoss is a fork of BuddyPress and does some things differently.
You may have better luck asking the folks at BuddyBoss.

But here is a hint, instead of unset, use the filter:
apply_filters( 'bp_rest_group_settings_forum', $fields, $group_id );
Found here:
buddyboss-platform\bp-groups\classes\class-bp-rest-group-settings-endpoint.php

[bmcconach]

I dug around a bit and managed to find a way for me to prevent anyone other than the site admin from seeing the tab once in the group management section, which isn’t exactly what I was looking for, but will suffice.

The issue I’m now running into is that, even though I have removed the forum options (slugged “topic” in BuddyBoss) using the code below, the group creation still goes to that slug when clicking the “Next” button and now displays a blank screen. Any chance someone could point out what I’m missing from my code to skip that step completely?

function remove_group_creation_steps() {
	global $bp;
	unset( $bp->groups->group_creation_steps['topic'] );
	unset( $bp->groups->group_creation_steps['forum'] );
}
add_action( 'bp_before_create_group_content_template', 'remove_group_creation_steps', 9999 );

I’m running WordPress 5.5.3 running Executive Pro theme. Using Genesis 3.3.3.

When a logged out user tries to access the community pages = Activity, Members, Groups, or Forum, it redirects them to the home page. I want it to direct them to the Register page so they know there is a community they can register for.

In Settings > Buddypress > Pages I have the following set:

Register > Register
Activate > Activate

When I click on “View” from there, it takes me to the home page (but I am logged in at that point since it’s the backend.)

Please help. The activity page is here:

Activity

I am also running BP Registration Options in order to make BUddypress areas private.
Thank you.

Please send your question to BuddyBoss

[mkbond]

Does anyone know how to incorporate replying to BuddyPress discussions within the activity feed? We are using the BuddyBoss platform and BuddyBoss custom theme.

We are trying to be a mainly forum/discussion-based site and we don’t use WP comments. So I want to have users be able to just click a “Reply” button in the activity feed to reply right there, versus being redirected to a new page (similar to Facebook’s reply/comments but for discussions).

We don’t modify the core files, only modify through child theme. We are also running bbPress through BuddyBoss. We have GoDaddy hosting with a LAMP managed server setup.

WordPress v5.5.3
BuddyBoss Platform v1.5.3
BuddyBoss Theme 1.6.0

[devyndn95]

Hi all, I’ve got a problem with BuddyPress. I just installed it, and of course it automatically installed the pages: Members, Activity, Register, and Activate. When I incorporate those pages into my site and click on them, they just take me to my home page. Is there something I’m just not seeing or is this a bug?
WP version: 5.5.3
BP version: 6.3.0
