Hi i think i know whats happening here i was working on status theme to make it work with the latest versions of both buddypress and wordpress and i faced the similar issue so this is what i did to resolve it goto wp-content>>themes>>yourthemename>>members folder>>single>>home.php and add these lines of code there

elseif ( bp_is_user_notifications() ) :
					locate_template( array( 'members/single/notifications.php' ), true );	

just before this kinda statement // If nothing sticks, load a generic template
next create a file named notifications.php in wp-content>>themes>>yourthemename>>members folder>>single folder and add these lines to it

<?php

/**
 * BuddyPress - Users Notifications
 *
 * @package BuddyPress
 * @subpackage bp-legacy
 */

?>

<div class="item-list-tabs no-ajax" id="subnav" role="navigation">
	<ul>
		<?php bp_get_options_nav(); ?>

		<li id="forums-order-select" class="last filter">
			<?php bp_notifications_sort_order_form(); ?>
		</li>
	</ul>
</div>

<?php
switch ( bp_current_action() ) :

	// Unread
	case 'unread' :
		bp_get_template_part( 'members/single/notifications/unread' );
		break;

	// Read
	case 'read' :
		bp_get_template_part( 'members/single/notifications/read' );
		break;

	// Any other
	default :
		bp_get_template_part( 'members/single/plugins' );
		break;
endswitch;

and try to reload your site now your problem should be solved.
Note: only create notifications.php if its not already there and please backup your site before making these changes

@sbaglia i really dont have a clue about this but ive just noticed a recent update on a plugin that adds seperate social networking functions to wordpress that i have been watching for a while, now the idea i had a while ago was wondering if this plugin could infact be ran alongside buddypress just for the comment notifications within wordpress, meaning i was wondering if all other notifications and workings of this other plugin could be disabled and used just for this one specific task, this way users would have a seperate notification system for blog and custom post comments, i really dont know as i have not messed around with them together but i know that this plugin does achieve what we want but seperately to buddypress, maybee you want to have a mess with the idea i had? i just dont have time at the minute and dont know if it will work well with buddypress running too, the plugin is here https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-notifications/

Try this function:

function bp_set_notification_default( $user_id ) {
    $keys = array( 'notification_activity_new_mention', 'notification_activity_new_reply', 'notification_friends_friendship_accepted', 'notification_friends_friendship_request', 'notification_groups_admin_promotion', 'notification_groups_group_updated', 'notification_groups_invite', 'notification_groups_membership_request', 'notification_messages_new_message', 'notification_messages_new_notice' );

    foreach ( $keys as $key ) {
        update_user_meta( $user_id, $key, 'no' );
    }
}
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'bp_set_notification_default', 100, 1 );

Yeah, I still will get the odd mention from old posts, have absolutely no idea what triggers them. And now that I’ve changed my display name recently, it will even occasionally send me ones where I’ve included myself in a quote, before the username change! It’s weird.

The good news is it slows down! ;D The bad news is before it does it can drive your members to turn off their notifications, and if your server can’t handle it the process can crash your server.

Does that code only stop old notifications, or does it stop all, or what?

this code work for me but java script not work and when user favorite comment user can’t remove notification help me

It is not an issue, it is intended so !

The logged user’s profile tab comes with 3 sub menus:
– View (public)
– Edit (private)
– Change avatar (private)

On the main navigation of the member, you have at least
– Settings with 3 sub nav items:
– account credential (email, password)
– notifications
– field visibility settings

And if component is activated:
– Friends
– Groups
– Forum

I agree that this Setting is confusing, at least, because those labels should indicate My Friends, My Groups, My Forums and My profile fields visibility settings, which is too long i grant you. 😉

FYI: such distinction wern’t really possible untill now in the original english version.
But the upcomming BP 2.1 brings some better context disambiguation just to improve such situation.

To solve this today, you can:
1) create a translation file and modify the wording (but, as said, without disambiguation)
2) use a child theme and hardcode the text you want into the template file (best approach)
3) wait a few days for 2.1 to use the first option

Anton, I haven’t tried it yet, but could we hook onto the user login and then run the code fancyfiber provided above?

That way all users will have their notification settings set after they have logged in. (not perfect, but it should work!?)

bp_notifications_add_notification() is used to add a notification. For example:

if ( bp_is_active( 'notifications' ) ) {
    bp_notifications_add_notification( array(
        'user_id'           => $user_id,
        'item_id'           => $item_id,
        'secondary_item_id' => $secondary_item_id,
        'component_name'    => $component_name,
        'component_action'  => $component_action,
        'date_notified'     => bp_core_current_time(),
        'is_new'            => 1,
    ) );
}

Hi @akovia,

each logged in user has access to his profile settings. Eg. on the top right user menu (howdy…)
or on the buddybar under the profile header.

/membres/xxxx/settings/notifications/

Settings > Email
Once on this setting page, each user can decide for what he want to receive an alert.

But it is an emailed notice he will receive, not the complete message.

This messaging system is intended to work internally. This means the content of the message stays on the site. BP eventually sends only a reference to the content. Eg. xxx send you a private message (site url), not the full message.

Screenshot:

Just wanted to follow up…we did come up with a solution for this in case any one else is looking for it.

Full details are now on my blog at Revelation Concept.

function rc_buddypress_profile_update( $user_id ) { 
 
     $admin_email = "YOUR-EMAIL@DOMAIN.COM";
     $message = sprintf( __( 'Member: %1$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_user_displayname( $user_id ) ) . "\r\n\r\n"; 
     $message .= sprintf( __( 'Color: %s' ), bp_get_profile_field_data('field=Color') ). "\r\n\r\n";
     wp_mail( $admin_email, sprintf( __( '[YOUR SITE] Member Profile Update' ), get_option('blogname') ), $message );
 }
 
 add_action( 'xprofile_updated_profile', 'rc_buddypress_profile_update', 10, 5 );

I know this is a very old thread, but here’s some useful code for solving this problem (put it in functions.php) in case someone else stumbles upon it

add_action("bp_activity_add_user_favorite","favorite_notification", 10, 2);

function favorite_notification( $activity_id, $user_id = 0){

	$activities = bp_activity_get_specific( array( 'activity_ids' => $activity_id) );

	bp_core_add_notification( $activity_id, $activities["activities"][0]->user_id, "notifier", "<a href='".get_site_url()."/activity/p/$activity_id'>New Like!</a>" ) ;
}

Hi @godavid33

I’m 99% sure you can. I do believe it’s store in secondary_item_id.

I think you can access it by doing something like this:

$notifications = BP_Notifications_Notification::get( array(
    'id' => $notification_id,
    'user_id' => $user_id
) );

// I assume there will only be one result but i'll do a loop anyway
if ( $notifications ) {
    foreach( $notifications as $notification ) {
        // this should output the friendship ID
        echo $notification->secondary_item_id;
    }
}
