    Hey Brajesh!

    Sure, happy to provide some additional feedback.

    I have tried your releases and I am still wondering what prevented you/your team from contributing to BuddyPress? Did you try to contribute or was there some other reason for fork?

    There are a lot of reasons we decided to go our own way. The primary one is that at a very fundamental level, BuddyPress was not providing the experience our customers are looking for and was really holding us back in our ability to provide the features and usability they ask us for. We have many thousands of customers and do a large amount of custom development, and there are so many things they ask for and wish were different in BuddyPress. BuddyPress development moves very slowly, and the types of changes we have implemented and will continue to implement require major changes to BuddyPress, in a way that can only be done by forking the plugin. We do theme development and mobile app development, and it’s not good that the foundation we rely on for everything is not under our control, and actually has barely changed at all over the past 5 years. We need to control its direction completely to achieve what we are trying to do. We are making mobile apps and other things, and want complete vertical integration between everything to provide an amazing experience.

    is there any future plan available for the platform?

    We have a multi-year plan for features we want to add. We also build mobile apps that replicate BuddyPress functionality into a synchronized app, and we will continue to grow there over time. Now that we control our core platform we can move much faster.

    The features we add are determined primarily by our customers. So the order in which things are added will depend to a large degree on what people ask for, and which requests have the highest volume of requests. We have a big support team responding to and noting requests.

    One major area of focus right now is performance. With each release you will see the product get faster. BuddyPress falls apart when it has too many users. We plan to fix that.

    Since the forking of BuddyPress, can you please provide what kind of new feature other than merging your own/others plugin into the bundle have your team added.

    Sure, this is going to be a very long list. I am just listing the high level items, as we have done so many smaller changes throughout.

    Layout

    We have our new BuddyBoss Theme which is much more advanced than any BuddyPress theme. It is only possible because we forked BuddyPress and are able to change the templates as necessary to accomplish our designs. Because we control our platform now, we can be sure that every single feature added is always styled in a consistent way, and with a unified admin experience. It much more powerful, and simultaneously, simpler and lighter than anything we could provide before.

    Profile Fields > Proper “Name” fields

    BuddyPress has just one name field, which drives customers crazy. They want professional networks with First/Last Name, or private networks with just nickname. BuddyBoss Platform has dedicated name fields for First Name, Last Name, Nickname. The site admin can control how to display names sitewide using this. In BuddyPress it is actually impossible just to display First Name + Last Name in the profile and activity feed, something that 50% of customers want. In BuddyBoss it is very customizable. We also let users change their Nickname (handle) any time.

    Profile Fields > Repeater Fields

    This is a request we have gotten for years, and could never provide; the ability to have repeater fields (Jobs, Experience, etc) so you can make a profile like LinkedIn. That’s out of the box now.

    Activity

    We have completely overhauled activity feeds. Instead of separated tabs, which is super confusing, it’s one unified activity feed. And within the feed, we have added a bunch of features:

    – Emoji
    – Animated GIFs
    – Likes
    – Follow
    – Link previews
    – Media
    – Ability to add any custom post type into the feed (via the Settings)
    – Ability to enable/disable any default BP activity type (via the Settings)

    Messages

    We have completely overhauled Messages. In BuddyPress, messages is a really poor experience. It uses a Gmail convention with subject and content, which makes little sense on a social network. We changed it into a single threaded message, just like Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and every other messenger works. This allows us to create a really amazing messaging experience (go play with our demo). Also we can extend this later into live chat, and messenger in our apps. Those features could not be built using BuddyPress messenger as it uses a Gmail style messenger. Imagine if Facebook messenger worked like Gmail, it would be awful.

    Media

    We added a native Media component for photos and albums, which provides a really amazing interface. It’s not just a fork of our old media plugin, it’s a total overhaul and is much nicer than anything out there for BuddyPress. And we will extend it over time for videos and other media.

    Private Network

    Out of the box, with one click you can make the whole site private from outsiders. This is a feature that more than 50% of BuddyPress users are doing but need to hunt for 3rd party plugins to figure out how to add. Our implementation is highly customizable also, in terms of what is public vs private.

    Network Search

    We added a new component for searching all content across the social network, with live results as you type. It’s not just a fork of our old BP Global Search plugin, it is a complete overhaul and is a much nicer experience.

    User Invites

    We added an invites system, to allow users to invite others into the network by email.

    Profile Types

    We added a built in interface for creating and managing Profile types, and many additional related options.

    Group Types

    We added a built in interface for creating and managing Group types, and many additional related options.

    Group Hierarchies

    We added a built in interface for creating and managing Group hierarchies, so you can have parent and child group relationships.

    Email Layouts

    Emails in BuddyPress look really bad. This is something we have had to hack up in the past on virtually every client site to give them something usable. Now, in BuddyBoss they look really beautiful out of the box, and are more customizable with logo options etc.

    Default Data

    This comes up constantly, people want to quickly add a bunch of default data into the site for testing. Now they can do it with the click of a button.

    And… that’s just the high level stuff. We have fixed usability issues all over the place and added minor options throughout. And don’t forget that we have been live to the public for less than 2 months. There is much more to come and we are moving fast. Revisit this in a year from now, and the list will be endless.

    I am new to WordPress and Buddypress. I have a couple of items I am struggling with and would love a little direction.

    1. In Buddypress, when you visit a group that is private, you receive a default message that says “This is a private group. To join you must be a registered site member and request group membership.” I would like to add a button directly below this message that says “Register”. This would need to be connected with the default message in some way so that the register button appears every time (and for every different group) the default message is displayed. I tried before but it seemed to connect the button only to one particular group. How can I go about adding this to the default message and what file and where in that file would I edit such a thing?

    2. Once they press the button to register, how do you get them to redirect back to the group they were originally linked to?

    3. In Buddypress, is there any way to turn off the public, private, or hidden options when creating a group and just make all groups private automatically?

    I would really appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

    Hi,

    My goal is to grab the buddypress private messaging part and include this in another page such that this can be used as a single messaging feature without the complete buddypress profile.

    I am somewhat familiar with customizations of templates and usage of hooks in wordpress.
    My wordpress version is 5.2.2 and my buddypress version is 4.4.0.

    So when digging into buddypress I found the bp_templates folder and figured out that to for example load the message composition part we should use bp_get_template_part( 'members/single/messages/compose' );. This included the part but without any styling while the stylesheet of buddypress does seem to be included when looking into the developer tools of Chrome.

    Therefore my question is: How to include the complete private messaging part on another page with the styling included?

    Kind regards,
    Justvdv

    I have a need to create a custom template for a page that would include a text link or button that would redirect to a logged in user’s private messaging feature. In other words the templated page would not be a default BuddyPress page, and the text link or button would recognize the BuddyPress logged in user and redirect that user to their default BuddyPress Private Messaging page.

    Sorry without know what your theme structure looks like under the hood I can’t help you further.

    I did take a look at the site and they are doing custom stuff.

    So yeah, a bit stuck here. I am available for private work if you’d like to hire me to solve some of your design challenges.

    Hey,

    I have an issue with the integration between BuddyPress and bbPress.

    I want to allow my members to create private groups with Forums, the issue is that these private groups forums also show up on the Forum front page for members who are not in this group.

    Members of this private group should see the group forum in the ./forums/ page but not for members who are not in this group.

    I need to make my “Members” pages private, but if I do so on “Pages” menu BuddyPress gives me an error.

    Hello everybody
    I noticed today that in all of my groups there’s a problem with the posts: whenever an user posts something to a group, instead of showing the user’s display name it shows a zero and the icon of the group. (https://imgur.com/7XCmGai)

    So, the phrase is supposed to be [*user name* posted an update in the group *group name*] but what it shows is [0 *icon* posted an update in the group *group name*].
    I’ve checked the translation plugin that we have installed and the code is [%1$s posted an update in the group %2$s] and it is well translated to our language, with all the right codes. I’ve tried to delete the translation but it still shows the same thing, no changes.
    However, in the same page, I can see another update such as [*user name* created the group *group name*] and I can see that it also uses the [%1$s] code for showing the name of the user but this one actually works. (https://imgur.com/dz0aWcz)

    I don’t know what kind of problem is going on with the other one.
    I can’t really share the website because it’s on a private network but you can check the links above with the prints.

    Thank you!

    Hello, I think this issue has been going on for years, but I dont seem to be able to find that it had been fixed at some point!

    I am using wp 5.22 bbpress 2.5.14 and buddypress 4.3.0
    It still happens when I use different themes and if I uninstall other plugins.

    I have hidden buddypress groups which show in the activity stream even if you are not registered or logged in see here
    Core women is a hidden buddypress group and should be not visible to anybody except the group members.

    In bbpress I have a plugin called private groups which also show in the activity stream. You cant enter the forum via the link, but still you see the heading and actually also the text.
    I wonder if this problem is because of a false bbp and BP integration? BP doesnt get the info for private/hidden forums?

    I am very new to this and dont have much experience so please tell me what more information I can give.
    Has there ever been a solution to this?
    Thank you!

    Hi, I tried to find a thread or solution. However, I’ve found none.
    Private messages are not sending, even though I deactivated all the plugins except BP. I keep getting an error message The message didn’t send. Try again.
    Please help

    I’ve seen a few posts similar to this, but not this exact problem so I thought it would be safe to make a new post. My users can compose a message, but the send button isn’t working. It’s not grayed out, it just doesn’t do anything. I’ve tried disabling all other plugins, still nothing.

    Hi @Venutius,

    I finally found some time to make more tests on this issue.

    What I did :

    Install a fresh WordPress 5.1.1 on a test server.
    Install Buddypress 4.3.0.
    Create a user called “blue”.
    Create a user called “red”.
    Connect with “blue” and send a private message to “red” saying “Hello I am blue and I say blue”.
    Connect with “red” and send a private message to “blue” saying “Hello I am red and I say red”.
    Export Data for both “blue” and “red” users.

    Result :
    Export Data for user “blue” shows one message sent to recipient “red” with content : “Hello I am blue and I say blue”.
    Export Data for user “red” shows one message sent to recipient “blue” with content : “Hello I am blue and I say blue”.

    The result is the same on this fresh install. For both users in a thread, the Export Data only returns the private message data content wrote by the creator of the thread.

    For your information, I am running WordPress with French language. However I don’t think this can be linked to my issue.

    Can you try to reproduce this please ?
    I still think it is a bug.

    Thank you 🙂

    I cannot duplicate your issue with a WP theme like 2019.

    Here are some basic questions to help you narrow down the issue:

    Did BuddyBoss do their tests on your site or theirs ?

    Are you trying to delete from the front-end or the back-end?
    What kind of group is it – public, private, hidden ?

    Which BP template are you using?

    Did you check your error logs ?

    Have you try deactivating other plugins?

    If you can list the steps to create the issue – be specific and include screenshots – you could open a ticket here. Be sure to reference this thread.

    So I am using Woffice with BuddyPress. I understand the only way to show posts on the dashboard widget that a user is a member of is by making that group “public”. I understand this can not be done with making the group “hidden” or “private”.

    I am looking for all posts from groups that a user is a member of to show on the dashboard so he can at a glance see what pertains to him.

    I am a District Manager for an Automotive Parts Distributor and have built a website for my dealerships to share information with them. For example, most users will have access to a role specific group (sales representative, sales manager, parts manager, general manager, etc) (private group) this is where I will share training information, videos, specials, pricing discounts, etc.

    Managers will have access to a 2nd group, their dealership group (hidden group) this is where I will share objectives, goals, etc specific to their dealership.

    I want this information to show on the dashboard so they do not have to click into their group as well as wiki articles, posts, etc.

    The Site Wide Activity widget gets this done if they are public groups. Only issue is I do not want sales representatives to see what is being said in the sales managers group (pricing, discounts, etc). And I don’t want and am not allowed to let other dealerships see each other’s numbers.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I want to set up a site where the username is a 5 or 6 digit number (assigned randomly or in sequence). Ideally, the user could also have a username of their choosing that would point to the same profile. I want the other users to come along and be able to search by username. So, if I give my number out to someone, I want that person to be able to search for my number and find my profile. Is this possible in BP?

    I also want to have different areas of the profile as public and others as private as determined by the setup or perhaps by the user. Is this possible in BP?

    I’d like to have privileges for different levels of users (ID verified, not verified, etc.). Is this possible in BP? This latter one isn’t necessarily the same as different pricing packages.

    Their repsonse:

    Hey There,

    Hope you are doing great ????
    Also, how can I make it so that admins can’t see members’ private messages?

    >> As an admin, you have access to your member’s private messages. That’s by design. Why would you want to restrict access to anything for an admin account? And as the ‘Private Messages’ are part of BuddyPress can you please check it with BuddyPress support forum as BuddyPress is third party plugin and providing support to third party plugin is beyond our support scope.

    Do you still want to use private messaging?
    If not, simply turn off the Messaging component in wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress

    Hi there, a public message in a private site is simply a message that appears in the activity feed and includes an @mention notification. The public won’t see it but all members of the site will be able to see it. But if you want to remove that option you could look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-messaging-control which would allow you to remove that feature by user role. It would simply prevent the @mention from notifying the target user.

    Hello! I’m brand new to Buddypress and WordPress. I’ve set up a site but I can’t View any of my Buddypress pages. I am being redirected to the Access Restricted page. I have checked that none of the pages are Private or Password Restricted. Further, I am set up as an Admin and Keymaster on my site. Any suggestions for how to troubleshoot? Thank you!

    Hi,

    The users i have in buddypress have a very sensitive info and don’t want it to be visible for everybody who access the user url or something like that. Want to set as private and only visible for wordpress admins. Is this possible? Or set buddypress as private? Or any plugin who does this?

    If so, what i have to do?

    Thanks so much in advance!

    Hi, I know this thread has been beaten a few times, but is there a simple way to disable notifications to site admins and all Buddypress members for any activity? We currently have the Buddypress Notifications settings disabled and are using the BP Group Documents plugin and a Manage Notification Emails plugin to stop the basic WordPress notifications from reaching members. Thanks in advance. 🙂 Eric

    Yes the appearance changes if I switch template packs.

    Yes I have the BP private messaging component switched on. I just tested switching it off and saving it. No buttons.

    I wonder what could be causing this action to return no result “member-header-actions”? I only have two functions in my child theme functions.php. Disable Visual Composer auto-update and Support MyCred plugin.

    Hi there,

    I have installed buddypress and everything is working except there are no “add friend” or public/private message buttons under the cover photo, to the right of the profile photo.

    Troubleshooting steps I have already taken:

    1. Plugins – I deactivated them all except buddypress, refreshed page, no buttons.

    2. Theme – I am using a theme called Video Pro which is compatible with Buddypress and has some integration settings too. Others seem to be using Buddypress fine and there are no issues on their support forums with it.

    3. I deleted the plugin and reinstalled a fresh version. Still no buttons.

    4. I am running this on a regular domain, not a subdomain but I have the site password protected. I added a couple of users to Buddypress so that there would be friends to add. If I go to the member directory I can request friend there but not from the other buddypress pages as I expected to see.

    5. The code in the area I think they should be looks like this:

    <div id="item-header-content">
    
    							<h2 class="user-nicename">@gatehousedesign</h2>
    			
    			<ul class="member-header-actions action"> </ul>
    			
    							<div class="item-meta">
    
    					<span class="activity">active right now</span>
    				</div><!-- #item-meta -->
    			
    		</div><!-- #item-header-content -->

    Anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated if you do. Maybe there’s some privacy setting I haven’t unchecked…? Or a conflict? I don’t see any errors in console.

    Thanks,
    GWD
