Hi guys,
I’m new to this forum and I’m happy to have found it.
I’ve a problem with the BuddyApp theme. Everything worked fine until now and with no relevant (I think) operations, now I can’t connect to the login page. Everytime I logout or I want to connect like user I have a “404 Error, not found”. But I have set the login page in Theme option and I have the page with the [sq_login_form] shortcode.
Do someone has some experience with that or can help me suggesting some solution?

Many thanks

I am having the same error message when using bbPress with Elementor, whenever I attempt to use “Edit with Elementor” on any page in which I place this bbPress shortcode: [bbp-forum-index]

bbPress and Elementor are clearly conflicting. I have currently uninstalled bbPress for this reason.

Hi

I use one-community theme along with buddypress and bbpress.

How can I translate “forum moderation” email entitled “my site’s name Moderation: Flagged topic”?

see screesnhot :

This notification email deals with forum moderation so I previously thought it concerned BBpress. But BBpress support assured me that they do not have the term ‘flagged’ in it and they’re not involved.
So, they told me to ask you directly.

Could you tell me how and where I could perform this translation?

TIA : )

This issue is caused by Yoast SEO update. Either disable Yoast SEO or downgrade it to v12.5.1 and the site should work again.

I have reported this issue to buddypress on the Yoast WordPress support forum.

Hi, BuddyPress uses bbpress for its forums so you may get a quicker response over on their support forums.

I’ve just had a quick look at the forums on my site though and I can only see an option to use IMG tags to point to already online images and don’t see an option to upload images straight to the forums.

Hi Elodie66,
As your queries appear to be related to a different plugin you will likely get a better response from the plugins own support forums. This site is primarily related to the BuddyPress plugin itself.

Hello,

Is there the possibility to create nested groups for example: Doctor> Surgeon,
Doctor> Pediatrician, Doctor> Oncologist …
Each group is private with its own forum.

I tried BP Group Hierarchy plugin which returns a lot of php errors.
BBP 5 / bbP 2.6

Thank you
bv

Hello, we’re using WordPress version Version 5.3, BuddyPress version 5.0.0 and our website is https://www.lightstalking.us. The theme we’re using is called Performag (Version: 1.409).

Two days ago we suddenly started to have this issue regarding posting images in forum threads – our forum participants can’t post images. They can upload them and hit the send button, but the images simply won’t show up in the thread.

The issue is not due to plugin incompatibility because it’s still there even when I disable all the plugins we have.

Let me know if there’s anything we can do to solve this.

Best,
Jasenka

Also added define( ‘BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION’, ‘forum’ );

Happy now and thanks.

forums are handled by bbPress – not BuddyPress

[webmasterfreya]

WP 3.5
Budypress 5.00 bbPress 2.6.1
BP legacy

define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ ); works
define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘notifications’ ); works
define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘messages’ ); works
define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘friends’ ); works
define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘groups’ ); works
define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘settings’ ); works

define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘forums’ ); not working, links to home (activity)

bug?

[webmasterfreya]

If the group is private so is also the forum that belongs to it.

[brunov99]

Hello,

I have created several private buddyPress groups and each group has a private bbPress forum.

1) As the group is private do I also have to put the forum inside group as private?
2) If so, do I also have to make private the sub-forums of a main forum that is already marked as private?

Thank you
bV

[brunov99]

Hello,
I have several different (private) BuddyPress groups with each their specific bbPress forum (private) and I try to give each forum a different look.

Is there a way to use or wrap the pages of a BuddyPress group forum with a div # ID to write CSS styles for each forum based on the page #ID?

Thank You
bV

Hi

When I upload a profile picture it will upload the picture but will not allow me to crop it. The is a tiny black box in the top left corner which when hovered over gives the ‘change size’ arrows, but when clicked it gets even smaller and the arrows do not appear.

I am using the latest versions of WordPress and Buddypress.

I have tried the following:
* Used default 2017 theme
* Disabled all plugins except buddypress
* Used different browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari

When searching this forum I have seen that this is a known problem but have been unable to find any solution.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[Nahum]

You might just over load members/single/parts/item-nav.php and members/single/parts/item-subnav in your child theme and just remove all the navs or replace them with something of your own.

you could keep searching forums for topics on removing tabs there are some “solutions” to removing tabs.

Hi,
3 weeks and no answer ! Is there anyone who answers on this forum ?
Regards.

[huetherb]

I posted this in the wrong forum, so reposting here.

Hi, I read that when a member receives a message from another member that this triggers a notification. However, in my testing I see that these notifications on recipient’s end only appear after page refresh. Is this how it is supposed to work? I don’t see any javascript error on the page, so I don’t think there is any javascript conflict going on.

Just trying to figure out if this is supposed to work real time. If not, what are people using for real time notifications?

thanks,
Brian

See On the left side of this forum, Many tags are appearing. So I want my tag also be like that, how to make bigger. Anyone help please to make my tag bigger. My Tag is Roomy Khan. High Priority….

[scienceofspock]

Thanks for the reply, Nahum. The link you suggested is *kinda* close, but it removes the wrong part and results in a strange plural/non-plural progression of URLs.
Disabling the prefix, I get the following results:
Forum root URL: example.com/forums
Single forum URL: example.com/forum/movies

What I want is:
Forum root URL: example.com/forums
Single forum URL: example.com/forums/movies
What it is currently: example.com/forums/forum/movies

And after doing some searching, I think this is probably NOT an issue with BuddyPress but an issue with bbPress. See this topic from SEVEN years ago https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-remove-forum-from-url/
Still reading through it, but I’m guessing that I will need to fix this with some rewrite rules, because the author doesn’t see a problem with the redundant stuff in the URL.

[Nahum]

you could edit the /forum to “topic” or “discussion” in the settings no? same for /forums can be something different as a page name.

or might this be it? https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-remove-forum-from-url/

[scienceofspock]

Hi everyone,
I installed BuddyPress recently, and I created the dummy “Forums” page so it has a place to live, and a few forums. While browsing around my forums, I noticed the URL has an extra “forum” in there. Where I expected my URLs to be example.com/forums/general or example.com/forums/movies, I get example.com/forums/forum/general and example.com/forums/forum/movies. How do I remove the redundancy?

[sucedo]

Hi there,

we use buddy press together with bb press and enfold.
We have one forum for all users and another forum with limited access (only for users which have been manually approved). We use Buddypress to limit the access – users have to apply for a buddypress group and this group has its own forum “Austausch für Therapeuten”. Since Buddypress Version 5.0 the group forum does not work any more. If you click on the link you are not redirected to the forum.

Thx for your help!

Hey everyone. Thank you for the insightful conversation. This is exactly what forums and communities are for, and is a great example of why it is so important to have them.

This question has come up just about every 180 days for the past 10 years, for both bbPress and BuddyPress. I usually don’t chime in on them, because they almost always go through the same motions:

1. Some people are worried
2. Some people don’t like the core functionality
3. Some people think it’s too difficult
4. Some people think it’s not powerful enough
5. Development team defends the project
6. Unhappy people trash the project
7. Nobody really feels much better
8. People get bored and the topic fades away
9. Someone bumps it back up every once in a while

I’m replying here and now, because I agree a lot with everything everyone has said here, even if I don’t like or agree with how it’s said.

There are a lot of things about BuddyPress not to like. There has been a lot of added complexity over the years that has made it more difficult to understand and to work with. Building a community website with it takes a long time and requires a lot of experience to do well, and that’s even before the community has activity, membership, or growth.

Without a big huge obvious whale of an example community, and without a big huge corporate sponsor, it’s hard to see the penultimate standard for what BuddyPress can be used to achieve.

Because BuddyPress.org and bbPress.org are part of the WordPress.org network of sites, and because WordPress.org doesn’t really use the social features that BuddyPress provides, even it isn’t that great of an example anymore.

The folks at BuddyBoss have, no doubt, invested nearly the same ten years as the rest of us have, working hard to make something out of nothing, only with a different set of goals in mind, that now is taking them in an exciting new direction.

Having met several members of the BuddyBoss family, and after spending more than a few hours hanging out with them through the years at various WordPress related events, it cuts deep to hear how negative their perspective is on BuddyPress, but I don’t disagree with them, or think they’re wrong.

Ten years ago when everyone was excited about BuddyPress, wasn’t because of the technology or the tools or the potential. It was a pain in the butt to setup. It required a version of WordPress (MU) that didn’t even come with an installer. It did everything “the wrong way” and not “the WordPress way.”

Everyone was excited because it looked cool.

Source: Venturebeat

While not an exact clone, BuddyPress 1.0 popularized the 3 column design layout that Slack, Discord, Teams, and Mattermost, and others have built empires on top of today. Since 2.0 and later, we listened to user feedback instead of our guts, and worked to make BuddyPress simpler to drop into any WordPress installation, but in doing so we sacrificed the opinionated design that made all of us curious about what we could build on top it ourselves.

I believe BuddyPress is, still to this day, the single most important piece of software on the open web. It empowers anyone to foster free and open dialogue with the privacy and freedom of having their own website on their own hardware, while also being powerful enough to scale up and grow as a community of people garners momentum. And it empowers people like the folks at BuddyBoss to grow even beyond BuddyPress itself.

BuddyPress also continues to be a faithful sister-project to WordPress, bbPress, and GlotPress, acting as a playground for just about anyone to jump in and start helping improve the software that over 11 million users on WordPress.org and 300k other installations rely on to power their activity streams, member profiles, and more.

I personally have met or know a few hundred people that have amazing careers (in WordPress or elsewhere) because of the knowledge and insight that contributing to the BuddyPress project has trained them for. (This is one of the most valuable things about BuddyPress that you can’t write on the tin, in my opinion.)

To the folks that feel like leaving BuddyPress behind, happy trails until we meet again. And I hope we meet more often than we have, because our diversity of experiences and opinions is how we forge great open source software together, and that’s hard to find when you’re always looking inward at the same project for this long.

To the folks that love BuddyPress as much as I do, thanks for sticking around and helping out and being a part of this community here. The best is yet to come, with media attachments, database improvements, deeper WordPress Admin integration, and if wishes were fishes we’d revive a retro bp-sn-parent theme to bring some of that old excitement back again.

Here’s a corny quote from a favorite movie of mine that feels fitting:

I cannot tell you how long this road shall be, but fear not the obstacles in your path, for fate has vouchsafed your reward. Though the road may wind, yea, your hearts grow weary, still shall ye follow them, even unto your salvation.
