ParticipantHi @dcavins
Thanks for your reply.
Actually the private forums do show up in that list too when you make updates in them.
Is there any way you could turn the whole shabang off so no updates are shown in the root forum?kind regards

KeymasterForums created in association with private or hidden groups are created as private forums. (They’ll only show up in the big forums list if you can see them.) Forums associated with public groups are not private–anyone can visit your-group/forum. They will show up in the big list. Visit
/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forumto verify that private forums are set to private.February 26, 2018 at 9:01 pm #271048In reply to: Allow Moderators to see private messages?
KeymasterHi James, I guess it depends on what a moderator is. (I can only think of Group Mods in BP, not sure what would count as a site-wide moderator.)
The ability to see private messages is controlled by the check
bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' )which is true for site or network admins.You could probably filter that value for some other role, like editor, but it would be a bit complicated to make it work only for private messages. Here’s more information about working with the WP capabilities system: http://mannieschumpert.com/blog/wordpress-capabilities-magic-with-map_meta_cap/
February 23, 2018 at 6:04 pm #270998ParticipantRight thanks @derrickhall.
So is there any Buddypresss admin/dev that could jump in and help out with how to disable that?
It´s really a privacy concern and issue because groups are somewhat a private entity and updates should stay inside the groups themselves and not be spammed in the general forums update stream.
Thanks!
February 20, 2018 at 9:39 pm #270931In reply to: Disable hidden groups completely
ParticipantThanks @dcavins for your advise, but that is not a option for us a we run a new public service so it is open for anyone to join and create.
However we have found a solution which is editing the admin.php and removing the code part that displays this option in the groups settings.
I will stop probably 99% of all users and left is only very advanced users that would craft such URL I guess?
On a sidenote:
I think it would be good if you guys that are part of the BuddyPress Team would consider adding an option in BP back-end setting to be able to enable/disable groups types eg. hidden groups and maybe private to give people more control? Well at least hidden groups.Thanks!
Kind regards

ParticipantThanks for pointing this out @espellcaste!
Would it be good for me, or anyone else, to add some info to the ticket(s) (not sure if https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7393 marked as dupe is kicking it back to the other one, of if the other is kicking it back to this one) –
anyway, would it be good, or be considered rude to mention that this may be required by the ggrp thing that the countries in Europe are expecting web sites to provide with possible fines for violating?
I kind of want to add some info to one of the tickets there, again not sure which one would be the appropriate one, but would like to add that since they are thinking about data in regards to groups, we may need to consider stripping info that others may have posted, whether it be in groups, or in private messages, as someone could end up with an export of info that had been set to be deleted or otherwise blocked / removed from the other user – and so it may be innaopriate to include messaging from groups or otherwise that was not added by the user him/herself.
Also I think we would need a way to include media, pictures used for avatars and used via plugins like rtmedia / mediapress in order to not just be thorough and kind, but to also be in compliance with the ggrp thing.
<- obviously I am not a lawyer and not well versed in this thing as far as all that goes.
However on another side I think exporting the data as a backup will potentially increase the suablity of buddypress exponentially as well. I am looking into helping spawn some methods for people to more easily launch a bp for their family musings and another instance for friend circles – this would be great during the term of hosting – but backups would be needed to prevent loss of presious family photos and such should a hack occur, or hosting not get paid, etc.
So backups, and a method for auto exporting I think is the missing piece at this point to really push for a much greater adoption of BP, which is really close to being a viable, and more private / controlled replacements for FB at this point.
the time is ripe for this.. hope we can make it happen before end of school year somehow.

ModeratorYou can use one of the BuddyPress privacy plugins to set aspects of your site as private and visible only to logged in users. For example it’s a feature of BuddyPress Registration Options or BuddyPress Simple Privacy, or BuddyPress Members Only.
February 7, 2018 at 5:36 am #270613leog371
ParticipantYep, I agree. Make the groups private.
February 6, 2018 at 3:15 pm #270605ModeratorI think the easy way to do this would be to make the groups private
February 2, 2018 at 11:30 am #270544In reply to: Group only for Members of the website
ModeratorI still wanted to be able to make some posts private to the site, so I installed LH Logged In Post Status so that users can have a choice who see’s their post.
February 1, 2018 at 5:34 pm #270516In reply to: Group only for Members of the website
ModeratorYes I had the same problem, so I’ve created a new version of the plugin which leaves the posts public, all other pages private unless they are specifically marked as exceptions.
February 1, 2018 at 1:21 pm #270509In reply to: Group only for Members of the website
ModeratorYour question is not clear. Are page members – site members?
The option public – did you mean private? obviously setting a group to public makes it publicly available, so not what you are looking for.I’ve been experimenting with the site privacy plugins and if you want a completely private network you should check out BuddyPress Members Only, this ensures all url’s except for the homepage are not accessible to not logged in members.
January 31, 2018 at 7:13 am #270475ngoegan
ParticipantActually, it hasn’t. I checked again today and it’s public. Any ideas on how I can make the events pages private? Is there some code I could add to the page itself to require that users are logged in to see it?
January 31, 2018 at 7:12 am #270474ParticipantI tested it and they don’t get any email until I approve them, which isn’t immediate. So it’s. “Check your email that we sent you now.” and then they don’t get it right away until later when I approve them. I think there’s something glitchy going on with my install – I’ve tried a lot of plugins to achieve a private site with new user moderation. No one plugin does it all that I can find.
January 27, 2018 at 6:21 am #270364klubnika74
ParticipantYes. There is a feature in BuddyPress where one user can send a private email to another user. Since my site is an online training site, I set it up such that my students can email privately to the course teacher (I use Social Learner theme). The problem is that course teacher do not always respond to emails and I need to be able to follow up to make sure that my students get their answers.

KeymasterHi @klubnika74
BuddyPress doesn’t allow a user to email another user directly.
You may be mixing this up with the email notification messages, that BuddyPress sends out.By “send a copy of private message between users”, are you specifically referring to the Private Messages feature within BuddyPress?
January 23, 2018 at 2:23 pm #270266martijn1972
ParticipantI have that installed already and that works fine on the Buddypress site itself.
What I am looking for is a button on an external site that links directly to a users private profiel to post the the article on their activity time line.

Participant@avaiya,
you do not have to be friends to send a private message.Choose – Messages – Compose and Send To (Username or Friend’s Name)

kariellen35
ParticipantOne more piece of the puzzle that I don’t understand is that I was able to resolve this issue when trouble shooting it on my local host, using an exact copy of my website’s files. So there is something interfering with the registration process only when connected to the internet. I wish I could give out my website details here but there is no private reply option.
Thank you again for your time.
Take care,

ParticipantNot to be a pest, but would you happen to know how to change the color of the meta description areas where it says how many group members there are, whether it’s public or private, and what you’re viewing? Thank you.

ParticipantI am using WP Mail SMTP to get the mail to send without issues. But it seems to affect this particular email only, I am getting everything else as far as I am aware.
Here are my current active plugins – There is quite a long list.
I do use Autoptimize, so not sure if it’s affecting anything.
One of note, is Social Login, which when logging directs to their site, and redirects back to my site to log the user in via their social network, this is where it falls over and does not send this one email. It manages to send other emails related to the login, but it now gives me an idea to look into the code that sends this social email sign up notification.(BuddyDev) BP Auto Login on Activation (1.0.3)

KeymasterAh, interesting.
1. If you’ve got access (through the mysql command line tool, or through PHPMyAdmin, check the character set and collation https://makandracards.com/makandra/2531-show-the-character-set-and-the-collation-of-your-mysql-tables There may be something funny going on there.
2. Do you have the same problem with other content? Can you post a private message with a special character in the subject line? A blog post with a special character in the title?
These items will help narrow down whether it’s a problem with bp-groups, or a database-level config issue.
December 2, 2017 at 3:34 pm #269360In reply to: Register page editor
KeymasterBuddyPress’s Register page is a special kind of page that cannot be edited via the Dashboard. That’s why it’s blank when you view it in the normal way.
To add additional fields to the registration process, go to Dashboard > Users > Profile Fields. Add one for Address and one for Phone Number. Make them required and/or private, if you’d like. As long as they are part of the ‘Base’ profile field group, they will appear as part of the registration process.
November 29, 2017 at 11:09 pm #269260In reply to: How NOT to redirect users after login.
KeymasterThanks. I’ve just installed the combination of rename-wp-login and lh-private-buddypress, and I’m unable to reproduce the problem – after logging in, I’m being redirected to the originally-requested page. It may still be worth a test on your end; if temporarily disabling rename-wp-login fixes the problem, it would at least narrow down what’s going on.
If it were my site, the next thing I’d do is to debug the redirection chain, but I’m unsure how familiar/comfortable you are with debugging PHP functions. Try adding the following settings to your wp-config.php:
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );After a few pageloads, WP should have created a file at wp-content/debug.log. Once you’ve confirmed this, drop the following into a bp-custom.php file, and then run through the login redirect process. It’ll dump some info into your debug.log file, which we can use for further debugging.
add_filter( 'wp_redirect', function( $redirect ) { error_log( print_r( debug_backtrace(), true ) ); return $redirect; } );November 29, 2017 at 11:02 pm #269259In reply to: [Fixed] I can’t create groups page keeps reloading
KeymasterIf you don’t see anything in your cookies, then that’s the source of the problem. BP uses cookies to indicate that you’re moving through the group creation process, and if it doesn’t see these cookies, it sends you back to the first step.
So, the question is why those cookies aren’t being set. Things to look at:
1. I assume that at least some cookies are being set on your site, or you wouldn’t be able to log in 🙂 Are other BP-related cookies working? For example, if you go to the group directory and change the “Order by” dropdown to, say, “Newly Created”, is a browser cookie created
bp-groups-scope? A quick test is to do a hard-refresh of the groups directory, and see if your selection sticks.2. If other cookies are being set, it could be a path-related issue. Have you set a custom
COOKIEPATHin your wp-config.php file? It could be that cookies are being set in such a way that they’re inaccessible to certain pages of the group creation process.3. Have you tried in other browsers? Or in private browsing windows? It could be that this is being triggered by privacy settings of one sort or anotheer.
4. You showed some WP_DEBUG errors that (as you surmise) are unrelated to the problem. Are those shown when you first visit the group creation page, or *after* you’ve submitted the first step? It’s the submission process I’m concerned about, since the groups aren’t being created in the first place.
