BuddyPress.org

I have the same problem with the sending of emails for notifications even though they are turned on the user settings. There are no emails sent for the actions listed below;

– Public messages using the @username feature
– Private messages
– Friend Requests
– Follow notification

Cheers

How are you restricting access to those pages? If Google can see the content then those pages aren’t private. BuddyPress doesn’t make content private by default, neither does it try to.

So wp_mail_from works for all email notifications aside from private message email notifications? If that’s the case then this is likely a bug. You could open a ticket for this on Trac.

I’m not aware of any plugin that controls 1-to-1 private messaging for BP.
You’ll most likely have to write it yourself or hire a developer.

BuddyPress can do all of these things right out of the box. Regarding point 5, you will need to disable both the private messaging and activity components. That can be done from the admin area in a few clicks.

On premises, private web server (Debian+Nginx in a OpenStack instance); email by Google for Education (using Easy WP SMTP plugin).

Is there a private method to provide a user/pw?

There is no PMing for this site.

But Dan has confirmed the issue with WP 2015, so it will be looked at.

Perhaps you could confirm that it does not occur with another WP theme, maybe try 2013?
And state which theme you are using?

I checked a shipment of update messages in activity and private, and both work well.
Working with both WordPress latest version as of BuddyPress.

Are you using any private message plugins or code snippets that might be interfering with this?

For private messages, auto-complete only shows your friends.

To access everyone, put this in your theme/functions.php or in plugins/bp-custom.php

define( 'BP_MESSAGES_AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL', true );

I use Rumbletalk group chat room to do exactly that.

1 – Decide the type of allowed logins to the room.

So if you define GUESTS and Registered users (RumbleTalk), than your Buddypress users will be logged in automatically, guests would provide a name and then they could enter the chat.

2 – Now, users could talk in a group or in private chats.
** They could also have live “one on one” Video Calls or audio calls.
Note, Since they use WebRTC (google video protocol) you will need that your chat will be secured (https/SSL) to make audio and video chats.

The premium version allows you to set a custom redirect url – which could be thought of as a homepage for visitors.

Have you tried https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-simple-private/ ?

By default, all BP pages are public.
Your feedback page is not a BP page, afaik.
Therefore something in your theme, plugins or custom code is setting that WordPress page to private.
I doubt it is related to .htacess

Have you tried this plugin?

Have the same problem: new wp install 442 + buddypress 2.5.8, first on theme 2016, then theme quest, both all the links in profile but no “add friend” button,
in bp settings all functions are enabled,
sending private messages works fine,
group owner invite people works, too

changing theme didn’t help.
Has anyone pls a suggestion?

The only way I’ve found to display private forums on the main forum listing page is to use the Private Groups plugin. From what I can tell, it does not use the BuddyPress groups feature — you have to create new groups within the plugin settings.

The good news is that the plugin does exactly what I was looking for: It allows you to have private forums for a subset of members, and the forum is not visible on the main forums page to anyone who is not part of that subset.

Note that the plugin requires you to use different “Recent Activity” widgets, in order to hide private activity from other users. Those widgets are included with the plugin.

If there is a way to do this natively with BuddyPress groups, I’d like to hear it.

I agree that this should be a function in buddypress core. A standard checkbox to make a site private. If selected, a standard set of pages are automatically added as viewable by logged out/unregistered users (about us, privacy policy, terms of service, etc.), and able to be unchecked by the admin as necessary.

You know what, while we’re at it, Theme My Login plugin functionality should be added to core as well. The ability to customize the login for branding, and customizing the registration page; eg. viewable/required fields, to make it more site specific should be included as well.

To prevent indexing by google, you need one or more robots.txt files.
