Thx Varun. I had checked the forum before posting but had not found that thread. Thank you so much as it solved my issue right away.

I had some issues with this earlier too, using the code supplied in this thread should clear up your issue.

Here’s the code if you’re unable to click the link for some reason. You should put it in your bp-custom.php file.

function toa_check_page_reqiurement_and_lie_to_buddypress ($is, $component) {
    global $bp;
    if ($is || "activity" !== $component) return $is;
    if ((defined('BP_GROUPS_SLUG') && bp_is_groups_component() && 'activity' == $bp->current_action)){
        return true;
    }
    return $is;
}
function toa_setup_activity_filter () {
    add_filter('bp_is_current_component', 'toa_check_page_reqiurement_and_lie_to_buddypress', 10, 2);
}
function toa_teardown_activity_filter () {
    remove_filter('bp_is_current_component', 'toa_check_page_reqiurement_and_lie_to_buddypress', 10);
}
add_action('bpfb_init', 'toa_setup_activity_filter');
add_action('bpfb_add_cssjs_hooks', 'toa_teardown_activity_filter');

Code to put registration form where I want it
https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/how-to-put-register-form-on-a-home-page-for-non-logged-in-users
but I have not tested it. may need wpmudev plugin?

[Varun Dubey]

@geertbaven code might be written inside the template file of the theme
theme-name/buddypress/groups/single/home.php

You will need to remove bp_is_group_forum() code; you are not using forums that’s why it’s creating an issue.
Inside the latest version above code is removed, in core discussion developers had talked about it to put it back.

[geertbaven]

@vapvarun I saw that post, but thought my issue was different because I do not use forum functionality.

[MBV]

Actually, it’s already there, the timestamp is the link:

[Name of member] replied to the topic [Topic title] in the forum [Forum tile]
x minutes/hours ago[link to post comment]

Just changed the CSS to make it underlined and link-colored, so people know to click on it.

Groups and forum issue

Found this link on another forum

in

Can someone PLEASE share a copy of the default activation emails?

And it appears to have worked.

[smilingdeep]

Hi,
Seems like people have been dealing with this issue for a decade. There is no solution that works for me. I have tried almost every workaround I found in forums but all in vain.

It’s strange that when I deactivate buddypress, all emails work fine. It’s just buddypress that doesn’t send activation mail. It sends forgot password mail though.

[smilingdeep]

Hello Everyone.
From past a week I’ve been working on my website. The problem is that buddypress doesn’t send activation mail but when I trigger forgot password email for the same account it sends.

Default wordpress register page is able to send activation mail but when I activate buddypress it doesn’t work.I have tried all the plugins and have been going through all these forums from last two days but all in vain.

I have reinstalled it thrice and now as stated in requirements I have done a manual wordpress install. I am on shared hosting and using my website mail server to send emails.

My site : My Site

Wordpress Version: 4.9.6
Buddypress version: 3.0.0

Please help me solve this issue.

Please at least take a look at the forums before posting.

See:

Groups and forum issue

[r-a-y]

Yes removing these two lines should be okay:

// Old group forums
elseif ( bp_is_group_forum() ) : bp_get_template_part( 'groups/single/forum' );

[Oaz]

Thank you very much for taking care Venitius

Yes, you are right, forum and group documents are displaying properly using a 2017.

I am not too sure of what I should do, I found this in the file you mentionned :

// Old group forums
elseif ( bp_is_group_forum() ) : bp_get_template_part( ‘groups/single/forum’ );

Should i remove the whole line ?
Sorry I am not a developper !

[r-a-y]

It’s related to BuddyPress deprecating some forum functions and not loading the deprecated code properly.

In the meantime, check your theme’s /groups/single/home.php and remove the conditional to bp_is_group_forum() and that should fix your problem.

[Venutius]

When I close a forum in the forum settings, the topic colours remain the same as for open forums.

[samgeppi108]

thanks for answering .. the BBPress forum is a ghost town.
No one answers.
There must be a .css setting somewhere that changes the text color when the forum is closed.

[mcm1963]

I deactivated line 123

//elseif ( bp_is_group_forum() ) : bp_get_template_part( ‘groups/single/forum’ );

and no everything works fine. In my opinion it’s a bug in bp 3.0 …

[samgeppi108]

I know that. I am asking this:
yes, after I “close” it, the text “grays out”.

Is there a way the a forum can be read only, and/or close the thread so it looks normal and not grayed out?

Or just have the text in a “read only” forum be black!,.. can I change that on the style sheet?

The “read only”(closed) forum is virtually UNreadable .. Why? There is no reason, just because a forum is “closed” to have it totally grayed out .. and/or just give the option for “no-replies”.. it makes no sense for a “Forum” software to NOT have this basic feature.

[Venutius]

You can set a forum as closed, that would effectively make it read only. check out Dashboard>>Forums

[mcm1963]

We hav’nt installed bbpress forum. Maybe, there’s an error with this?

[mcm1963]

[Venutius]

The issue looks like you have overloaded the home.php page and that file is calling a deprecated function, since support for legacy forums has now been removed.

[awpt]

Im using rtmedia and buddypress together new version and buddypress legacy templates of the version 2.9.4 in my theme, everything is working fine when you remove two php lines in two files which you can find here in the forums.

I think the new buddypress is much faster, the speed is much better than before.

[Venutius]

It’s difficult to say, this forum sometimes plays up for me, refusing to let me reply to a topic due to me triggering some keyword block.
