Wordpres 4.4.7
Buddypress 2.5.4

Hello,

A new problem occurred on my website when trying to access the My Replies section in the forum page of Buddypress.
The page stays white and the php logs shows
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /home/digitalpainting/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4065, referer: http://digitalpainting.school/members/testjean30/forums/

I think this started to happen when my forum reached a certain number of threads and replies.
Forum stats : 40 forums, 3405 topics, 40841 replies.

My PHP is 5.6.26 and the memory limit is 256G.

Any help would he appreciated.

Thanks,

@mr3k – I assume “their shortcode for activity” this has to do with the paid version of said theme.. and if you are trying to get something to work with a paid theme, then you are likely not going to get any help in the bp forums from what I have seen over the years.

I wish you luck. Modding the activity stream in bp is such a pain point.

@rickaltman – I think buddypress can do most of what you describe here right out of the box. I would search for forum threads and maybe plugins to have your members auto join a group –
this would give you something like “your site dot com / groups / mainGroupName / members
for this kind of list – although it would be a list rather than grid system – you may find another way to do it, but it’s probably gonna take some hacking-up things to get the grid layout if you really want that – I’d try to find something less robust – like maybe just the wpmudev membership2 plugin in the wp repo – and hackup a page to list authors with a wp theme or something…

bp can do a profile pic.. but it needs plugins to really “upload photos” – and that’s a can of worms in which some is over-baked, some under baked, and future possibilities are endless.. some built in bp hooks have been made a while back but.. well not sure what meant exactly by “upload photos” –

its going to be much easier to get community support for regular wordpress themes and such.. buddypress is probably a lot more power than your use case is gonna need.. and with that is gonna be spam issues – virtually no support for customizing anything.. even if you knew php really well, you’d have learn wordpress well, and then try to digest all the BP docs and sort through tracs.. gits.. and other random stuff on the web that is not well documented, no well supported, and leaves you wondering if it’s secure… and the chances of all the various hackedup things working well together is blah… and future updates – hahaha.. who knows that is going to happen.

In your situation I’d say it wouldn’t hurt to play around with BP – as it’s free.. but if it doesn’t do what you want out of the box.. then I would delete it all – and try a basic wordpress with members plugin.. maybe even just a ‘multi-author blog” – you’ll get less spam, and much less work.

Others may think / feel differently about all this, my experience comes from my issues – your mileage may vary..

Are you using BuddyPress?
bbPress has a separate support forum.
Your error message shows that it is caused by this plugin: smartlib-tools.
You should talk to the creators of that plugin.

[shanebp]

You have a better of getting a answer on the bbPress forums.

[shanebp]

BP does not provide that functionality out-of-the-box. But it can be extended to do so.
You will need to write some custom code.
Or there may be a plugin that does something close to what you need and you can adapt it.
Either way you’ll need to be able to write php code.
If you can’t write code, you can post a job listing here.

Hi @danbp
it’s a bit tricky to judge who is responsible without knowing the code at all. As the forum pagination is working with bbPress and only not in BuddyPress groups, I thought this here might be the right place to ask. Sorry for that.

I have not contacted bbPress Support because I thought the group forum feature comes with Buddypress. Well, if I deactivate bbPress I don’t have any problems and I don’t have any group forums …

[danbp]

I ignore if wishlist is BP compatible. And you describe an issue between bbPress and Wishlist, a premium plugin.
And nothing at this stage indicate that BuddyPress is implicated. Have you tested your membership plugin without bbPress active ? Do you still have trouble when on a group ?

Outside the fact we can’t help you for such not open source product, have you contacted them and the bbPress support ?

[shanebp]

Please use the support forum for that plugin –

[danbp]

Hi,

Why ? Don’t know!

Have you an unique page for “members” and “groups” ?
Have you permalinks activated (and not “default”) ?
Are you on a regular or multisite install ?
Have you searched the forum before asking ?

https://buddypress.org/support/search/number+of+members+is+wrong/

For a possible solution, read for example:

[Resolved] Wrong member count

[danbp]

Hi,
To get a forum, you need BBPress, not BuddyPress. Each can work separately.

For your issue, follow correctly all install steps, particulary for BP pages and permalinks:

Configure BuddyPress

[danbp]

Was explained somehow:

You can do that by CSS from within your child-theme style.css
As it is not only BuddyPress css, but also dependent of your theme, you have to check for the correct classes and id’s to use.

completed by:
On each BP page is a page-id-{number}. You need it to define the style for this page only.

Sorry, i can’t do more for you. It is to you to learn and understand what is explained. Or to hire a dev if it is too difficult.

In case anyone runs into this forum topic looking for a similar fix. I needed to do two more things to get this perfect (thanks @danbp for the great start).

Under each field, the default privacy is displayed, so you need to make sure that for every option you add, the default is either “All Members”, or “Only Me” so that “Everyone” doesn’t appear as a default under each field, despite the fact that you’ve hidden the option to chose it once the user hits the Change button.

Additionally, under the name field, “Everyone” is the default, and it can’t be changed. This isn’t really accurate if you site is private, so I have hidden the line that says that the Name field is visible by Everyone with an additional CSS snippet.

/* Remove Everyone option from Profile Fields to ease confusion on a private site */

li.public {display:none!important;}

#buddypress div#item-body div.profile form#profile-edit-form.standard-form.member-information div.editfield.field_1.field_name.required-field.visibility-public.field_type_textbox div#field-visibility-settings-toggle-1.field-visibility-settings-notoggle {display:none!important;}

@johanna75 – looks like an interesting plugin – not sure if it’s a free plugin with paid extensions, or a premium plugin altogether – or how it works- you are best off asking those plugin makers more than likely. I see they have 2 premium add on extensions that seem to fit in with what you are asking about though: the geo members directory and the xprofile fields extensioons – which seem to be priced from $29 – $130 each.

again, not sure how any of the plugin is working for you – it kind of sounds like there is some info that has been added to your member’s profiles.. and if it that’s the case – you may have some luck with adding the “bp profile search” plugin – which is free. There some quick docs on how to get it up and running on a page or wdiget with certain features -> http://dontdream.it/

That may be all you need… if not, I would cough up the money for the premium addon and ask the author of the main plugin – sounds like it’ll be faster and easier to get working..

the buddypress forums are likely going to leave you hanging with no answers if you ask about anything like plugins, themes, custom mods that are premium / aka costs money.

I’d love to know if your plugin maker there has a way to turn off the “google maps” part – I mean it sounds nice on the features page – but I’m pretty sure html5 has a geo location feature that can be tapped into without using google maps.. and if I was to use a plugin like that, I would certainly not be sacrificing my user’s privacy by using something that depended on the big G to get their data. Surely there are other ways / other options.

my 2cents.. your situations may be different

[danbp]

When you have such basic question, please search first the forum and read the documentation.

https://buddypress.org/support/search/bp_get_displayed_user_nav/

Navigation API

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23041165/buddypress-custom-nav-and-page-template

[danbp]

The function used to show @ mention is bp_displayed_user_mentionname in this template context:

<h2 class="user-nicename">@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></h2>

Above the profile header you have the fullname, which use this function: bp_displayed_user_fullname.

To replace the mention by the fullname, you can use this snippet (goes to bp-custom.php):

function bpfr_user_fullname() {
        // uncomment below if you want this only for logged in users.
	//if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
		//return false;

	echo bp_displayed_user_fullname();
	
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_displayed_user_mentionname', 'bpfr_user_fullname' );

To remove the existing fullname, you use something like:

function bpfr_remove_fullname_from_profile() {	
global $bp;
	
	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )

	if( bp_is_user() && ! bp_get_member_user_id() ) {
        $user_id = 'displayed: '. bp_displayed_user_id();
    } else {
        $user_id = 'get_member_user: '. bp_get_member_user_id();
    }

	remove_filter( 'bp_displayed_user_fullname', isset( $bp->displayed_user->fullname ) ? $bp->displayed_user->fullname : '' );
	
}
add_filter( 'bp_displayed_user_fullname', 'bpfr_remove_fullname_from_profile' );

And in case of you want to modify the @ sign, it is hardcoded in the template. You have to remove it manually via a child-theme.

Function reference.

Fortunately, the BuddyPress support forum has a search feature!

I used it to find “link to profile” specially for you:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/create-dynamic-user-links-to-end-users-wallprofile-etc/

bp_core_get_userlink()

[danbp]

As you know that it is your plugin who generate the redirection, it is on their support that you have to ask for a solution.

This forum is related to BuddyPress and maintained by volonteers. We can’t offer support for third party or premium plugins and themes.

[danbp]

Please, search the forum before asking common question!

[danbp]

Never heard about a dropdown option limit! What is the limit you reached ?

…nothing accurate in /bp-xprofile/classes/class-bp-xprofile-field-type-selectbox.php

…or on common forum question.

Plugin list and theme name could help to help you.

[danbp]

Hi,

not sure you need to use Softaculous to install bbpress. You can use the plugin installer shiped with WordPress or upload it manually via FTP.

Seems you have to read the install documentation of bbPress first. And if you need help to use bbPress plugin, you have to ask on the right support forum. Here you’re on BuddyPress !

[wfott]

I have searched the forum for an answer to my question but could not find anything relevant. I have hit a limit on the number of pull down options I can offer when setting up a Profile Field Drop Down Select Box for my registration. Any suggestions on how to increase the limit? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi there !

Avoid to add – URGENT help needed! to topic titles, it is the best way to not receive any help.

You’re already under help when your topic is posted, so there is no need to ask twice. And this doesn’t bring you faster or more attention.

The word Urgent is also banned, as urgency is already on the way. Not only for you but for ALL forum users.

So as usual,

The urgent is done, the indispensable is under way. For miracles, allow time.

Please wait and read the codex. BuddyPress. WordPress.

1)BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.
2) new users are always registered in the main site
3) if you allow users to create their own blog, they will appear in the user list of that blog.
4) multisite network means also that you use a wildcard on your host. Is it the case ?

Please search the forum before asking questions! For ex. “allow html in description”
