Hello,
Currently clicking the “message” button to send a private message to another user takes me to Inbox and I have to click on the “Compose” tab (Note: the text “Inbox” says active!) and remember the username that I want to sent the message to.
https://prnt.sc/kuccn7
https://prnt.sc/kucd2g
SHOULD BE: Click on direct message takes me directly to compose with user name filled in.
My theme creator said this gets fixed by updating to BuddyPress 3.2, however I did and the problem persists.
Thank you for your help.
Hello,
I am really struggling with this, and – more important – my members are too.
I have 10 hidden BP groups with members and each group has a private forum.
They can access the forum when they are logged in, via My Groups (link structure https://www.site.com/members/site/groups/) > choose the group (link structure https://www.site.com/groups/groupname_A/ and finally click the link to the Forum (link structure https://www.site.com/groups/groupname_A/forum/
There must be a smart person here, that can tell me how to create a dynamic link that leads to the forum that a user is a member of.
As far as i see there is this BP Menu item to ‘My groups’ but not to My Forum.
Make me happy!
Kind regards,
Rob
WP 4.9.8 and BP 3.1.0
Hi,
Please check if the private messaging component is enabled there or not.
Thanks

Im building a Apartment rental site.
And on the single apartment page I have a “Send a private message” button where people can send a private message to the person who owns the apartment and ask a questions.
So therefor I need to automaticly add the Apartment name in the Subject of the message.
Is it possible to make the subject within the URL something link “https://domain.com/members/user1/messages/compose/?r=user2?subject=xxxxxxxx” So the Subject is automaticly filled when people clicks the “Send a private message”
Thanks for the reply but I do not want a private network and that is not what I am trying to accomplish.
I really just want the area of the page that shows that section to only be visible to logged on users.
Hi,
You can create a private BuddyPress network using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/lh-private-buddypress/
Only logged-in members will be able to access the profiles, directories and all.
Thanks
Included in BP:
Registration
Creating and managing profiles
Create groups
Create group overview
Create private groups
There are templates – you will need to customize them by hand and be a decent developer to add custom code.
Hi,
Please try these steps:
1. go to forums > all forums
2. edit the forum of your choice
3. change the visibility to private.
Thanks
I’m having perhaps a related issue with messages. When I switch to the old theme the messages work fine. Here is my original post:
_______________________
Greetings!
I just installed BP version 3.1.0 with WooCommerce StoreFront theme on WP 4.9.8 hosted on WPEngine.
When I go to a users profile and click private message, it takes me to the messages tab, but the compose fields do not show. The URL appears to have the proper query string with the users name. Example: compose?r=julesyoga
Could caching be preventing the page from loading perhaps?
Do you know any reason why the page isn’t loading in compose mode and the name isn’t being populated.

wp version: 4.9.8
Thanks so much!
Hi folks, new BuddyPress user here. (Using BP 3.1.0, WP 4.9.8, site in development)
I’m looking to use BP for the following specific functionality:
1) Allow our members to post updates on their own profile (privately) for their own reference (diary style), which they will be able to review themselves later, over time.
2) It would be great if the admin user(s) could post comments on their diary entries too.
First hurdle: I would like to know how to “hide” certain elements of BuddyPress. When I go to the Activity page for a test user, besides the activity entry box and feed, I see links to toggle between “All Users” and “Mentions”. Then there’s an RSS link, a “Search Activity” box (might keep that, sure), and a dropdown for ‘Everything’ and some other options.
My first question: How do I go about hiding / disabling the functionality I don’t want our members to see/use? Should I edit plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-template.php ? Is this a good idea? :-O
Second question: Changing references of “Activity” to, say, “Diary” — is this best done with a translate plugin (e.g. LocoTranslate)?
3rd question: How would I enable admins the ability to add comments within a member’s activity stream (e.g. respond to specific entries)? Does anyone have any ideas on that? Is there another plugin somewhere that enables such functionality, perhaps?
Thanks for advice/tips you can give!
David.
@billysgtr @venutius this is really cool news as i need the exact same feature (only authors can send private messages on buddypress) …..how do i go about getting the latest version? is it an official plugin now?
Experiencing the same issue as well.
@vapvarun, possible to share the details of my site with you in private?
Using ‘good question’ or similar plugin,
‘graphic captcha’
‘ip geo block’
unfortunately spamshield had some meltdown with the wp.org people so it’s out, but similar functionality for logins and such is in ‘shield’
you’ll never stop the manual spammers, if you could stop them, you would be stopping legit users..
on my multi-site I use a plugin that makes all new blogs/aka sites that are created automatically set as ‘search engines do not index’ in settings.. this helps too..
the bp plugin that limits the amount of private messages that can be sent is nice (BuddyPress Private Message Rate Limiter),
one one install I disallow user’s group creation ability – and ask them to send me a note about any new groups that should be made.
also enjoy “register ips” – so I can ban really bad cidrs..
I am seeing some members of my BP showing up in the timleline / activity with no name, just an avatar.. and when we private message each other, is says:
Conversation between Deleted User and you
They have no name set it seems – found this with at least two users today.
wp 4.9.7 BP 3.1.0
anyone else seen this?
not sure if there is some way for me to search my users list for others with this issue, any ideas?
anyone? this is on buddypress profiles.. all plugins are deactivated so nothing is interfering as far as I know. When the “Private Message” Button is clicked it does not open the compose message with the user name in the title.. I think it might be a bug?
BuddyPress :3.1
I really hope someone can help me with this. I’ve read a lot of support pages/articles from varying sources, nothing I put in bp-custom.php works for removing profile nav tabs/sub nav tabs.
I’ve already tried https://buddypress.org/support/topic/the-right-way-to-remove-nav-items/
Is it possible to make Activity and Forum profile tabs private?
which doesn’t seem to have any effect at all.
the only thing i’ve found that kind does anything is:
function bp_remove_activity_from_profile()
{
bp_core_remove_nav_item('activity');
}
add_action('bp_activity_setup_nav','bp_remove_activity_from_profile');
but it’s not ideal since there are quite a few things i’d like to remove.
Ray,
While this is a valid workaround, which we have tried. But its confusing for the end user and they sometimes fumble with the alias format and lose out account access, creates support overhead etc.
The need described by kama is similar to facebook pages or YouTube channels – they are a social network with members having profiles but also multiple members can manage a page or a YouTube channel.
Typical use cases for VIP members who May want their assistants to operate and update certain sections of their accounts without giving away the credentials of their account. The VIP user could allow read/write permissions to certain sections of the profile. For e.g. my assistant can edit my profile, but not read my private message’s or change my subscription type
@optimized Private messaging is available at the individual level, you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/mass-messaging-in-buddypress/ to send a message to all group members or extend the same
Thanks. I looked at Auto Group Join, and am considering it. Registration Groups hasn’t been updated in a long time, so I’m a bit leery of that. I’ve also tried bbPress Private Groups, but I’m finding forum accessibility to be oddly inconsistent.
At the moment, I’m looking at:
1. Just BuddyPress – create lots of overlapping single-purpose groups.
2. Just bbPress & Private Groups – forget about the social aspect and just use structured fora.
3. Social media – give up and use a Google Group, Google+ community, or even [gulp] a Facebook group.
This is not working on browser but works on private ones
The code above works to restrict private messages to to only friends, but the message the user gets if they try to message someone who is not a friend is:
“The message was not sent. Please try again later.”
Is there anyway to change this message to something like:
“Sorry, you can only message connections within your network”
Can I send the error log privately?
