I was thinking that users don’t need to be auto-friends in order to communicate with each others – so that part of your setup is not needed.

I might auto-join them all into a group..

Hiding portions of profile depending on logged in or out / role / level, is something that has been discussed in the forums a time or twelve I think, but I do not remember a solid way of establishing such things. Honestly if the info is not something that should end up in public, then the info should be kept out of profiles / bp, and only sent via pm/on site email..
why need to view contact info, when that can be asked / sent via pm if needed.

It’s been 24 hours and still no support from you guys 🙁

Well, I was accidentally posted this in the wrong forum. Anyone please move it to the appropriate forum.

[shanebp]

Did you try asking your question on the support forum for bbPress ?

[kmw1130]

I’m using the “BuddyPress Group Extras – Extend Your Groups plugin”.

When I click manage in my group admin/edit-details. The submenu has Details, Settings, Photo, Members, Cover Photo, Forum, Extras, and Delete. If I click Extras it takes me to Group Extras > General Settings, this is also where I can add Pages. I just want to be able to add two new items (icons) for Blog/News, which I have on my site already and Group Info, so when I click either of these two, I would be like the others I have (Activity, Events, Members).

thanks @shanebp

re: your suggestions..

Turn on wp-debug and then check error logs. < I believe I did this by editing the Wpconfig.php file.. but the debug.log shows file size of zero .. so maybe I did that wrong.

— — // Enable WP_DEBUG mode
— — define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

— — // Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
— — define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);

— — // Disable display of errors and warnings
— — define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false);
— — @ini_set(‘display_errors’,0);

— — // Use dev versions of core JS and CSS files
— — // (only needed if you are modifying these core files)
— — define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);

— — /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

Deactivate bbPress and all related plugins. ~ as indicated in my post, did this in several different ways to totally and entirely isolate buddypress as the problem plugin.

Test with ONLY a WP theme like 2013 and BP ~ perhaps I wasn’t clear, but did this too.. same problem.

—- —- interesting new note —- —-

Since the folks at GoDaddy did their memory maximization steps, the error messages have stopped.. but I remembered that when the WP-Admin/Dashboard screen goes white, the site doesn’t. so I added buddypress back in, activated, got the WP-Admin white screen and see that the forums are back up and the user icons are too. so I can’t tweak the interface from the dashboard, but functionality is working slightly.

[shanebp]

What is the reason that make you think that can be a plugin?

Your issues may not be due to a plugin, but your error log shows entries that are usually caused by a theme or other plugins.

Start by deactivating plugins related to activity.

If all else fails, delete BP 2.4.3 and install BP 2.4.2
You can download prior versions of BP here.

If the problems go away, you may have found a bug in 2.4.3
You can submit a ticket here with the same user/pw you use for these forums.

[shanebp]

I made a small adjustment to the code in an attempt to solve the issue you reported on the plugin support forums.
Can you confirm that it is working?

Re “removing the toolbar and menu for all users except admin” – please do not double post.
Please use your existing thread:

[shanebp]

I made an adjustment to the plugin and replied to your entry on the plugin support forum.

[Hugo Ashmore]

If you are taking this topic to a private channel, then this topic will be closed. Please remember that public forums are intended for open topics where the help may benefit others, also the referenced issue is a third party plugin, not BuddyPress the correct avenue of help would be the plugins WP support forum normally.

@danbp thumbs up! 🙂

I guess I’m not going to pursue getting a forum on my site.

@ldesherl You do not need to install BuddyPress in order to get a forum. You only need to install bbPress forums plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/ which works perfectly without BuddyPress.

[ldesherl]

I tried al this but I am not allowed to change my permalinks at all. I tried it over and over. I deleted Buddypress and added it back and reactivated it. No difference. No options to save page settings. I guess I’m not going to pursue getting a forum on my site. I guess it may have something to do with my web host. Thank you for trying to help but I cannot resolve this no matter what I try.

[ldesherl]

I have Twenty-Sixteen running now and I hope I will get this issue fixed; I really want a forum.

[shanebp]

The bbPress support forums are here.

Hi,
Comments who are already registered in activities stay in the feed. If you don’t want to see them, you have to remove them manually in the activity manager.

Once an activity comment is deactivated, the button isn’t visible in the feed.

Try this method and add the code to bp-custom.php, so you stay also theme independant.

function bpfr_activity_nocomment( $can_comment = true, $type = '' ) {
        if ( empty( $can_comment ) ) {
                return $can_comment;
        }
 
        //handling the activity types we want to disable
	//to get activity type names, go to the DB and check the "type" column in xx_bp_activity table	
        $cant_comment_types = array( 
	   'new_forum_topic' => 1,
	   'new_forum_post' => 1,
        );
 
        return ! isset( $cant_comment_types[ $type ] );
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_can_comment', 'bpfr_activity_nocomment', 10, 2 );

In fact I have found a reasonable solution using CSS. I found some key clues on in the support forum for this plugin: Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type (though I’m not using that plugin).

If anyone has any advice about how to improve this I would be glad to hear it. Thanks

/* Buddypress profile field description position*/
.editfield {
position: relative;
top: 5px;
}
.editfield label {
font-weight:bold;
margin-bottom: 30px;
}
.input field_4 {
margin-top: 5px;
}

form.standard-form p.description {
margin: 0 0 15px;
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
line-height:1em;
}

Suggestions in this post MAY be of some help.

I only say MAY because the user base is shared – once a user visits another network that user is added to the Members of that network.

However each network can have absolutely completely separate Activity Streams, Groups, Forums, and sites/blogs as well as separate plugin and theme structures.

I fully understand that this may not not be exactly what you are looking for but it certainly is a very good start.

[Henry Wright]

@mcpeanut I’m unable to test right now but can you give this a try on Twenty Fifteen or Twenty Sixteen and if the problem persists, would you mind opening a Trac ticket for this? Copying and pasting some of what you’ve wrote already should be fine.

The core devs might not see this forum topic.

[@mercime]

@ldesherl I just see an error on your home page right now with the TGM plugin. Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress. Change to a WP Default Twenty-* theme then activate BuddyPress.

P.S. For forums, install bbPress which works very well with BuddyPress

[ldesherl]

I tried this plug in last night but I could not ave the settings except on the last page for this plugin, on my dashboard.

The pages I set up, except for the titles, were 100 percet invisible.

My WordPress tells me, on top of the details page, that this plugin has NOT been requested with my updated WordPress.

I wanted to keep this plugin, and add a forum to my site but I can’t find any proper forum software.

My WordPress version is the most updated: 4.4

My website URL: http://oneladyfights4life.com

I apologize for this double post, as I forgot to mark that I forgot to check that I wanted to get replies by email and to check that option I had to double-post, and I cannot delete this second post.

[Henry Wright]

You can open a bug report for this on Trac (the login details will be the same as those you use here in this forum).

[Emineminero]

yes you are right, it was a typo here in the forum. In the plugin that i made was correctly writen 🙂

[Henry Wright]

Earlier today I added the following to my functions.php file:

add_filter( ‘bp_activity_do_mentions’, ‘__return_false’ );

No @mention emails were generated since then. As soon as I commented that code out, within 5-10 minutes thirteen @mention email notifications went out – all with links to content that is years old (pre-import).

@reedy something custom is running which is causing bp_activity_do_mentions to execute. Did you say you deactivated all of your plugins and custom code? If so, then I suspect the importer is still active. I’m not familiar with it, because it’s bbPress-based but the guys over at that forum should be able to tell you how to deactivate it.

[reedy]

How do I disable the importer script? I used the official bbpress importer script found in:

Wp-Admin>Tools>Forums>Import Forums

As far as I know, once it’s done importing then it’s done importing.

[reedy]

bp_notifications is still generating notifications on pre-import mentions.

When I sort bp_notifications by date_notified I see:

When I reference the item_id back to the bp_activity table, the IDs for date_notified as you can see in the screenshot above relate to very old pre-import activity.

When I sort bp_notifications by item_id I see:

You can see from the above screenshot all the pre-import mention notifications going out (look at the jump in item_id between forums and activity).

Post-import new reply notifications are working fine.

[shanebp]

Because emails are being sent, a lot of notifications were created too, correct?
Are the notifications being created in ‘batches’ ala the emails?
And were any activity entries created?

afaik – BuddyPress only handles @ mentions in the context of activity, hence:
add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' );

If true, then bbPress is parsing @ mentions in forum posts and creating BP notifications which result in emails being sent.

I don’t have a solution – just trying to outline the sequence.
Very curious to know why, given that the email server queue isn’t massive, there seems to be a throttle on the process.

Have you tried asking bbPress about this?
You may need to open a ticket to get a useful response. If you do, please share it here.
