BuddyPress.org

Hello everybody,

@mariatrier, I am also paying cometchat for that and will let you know how it goes. They estimated 8 working hours, begun work a week ago and haven’t replied ever since to my question how far they are.

@djsteveb
Thank you for your time. From your feedback I understand that my description wasn’t accurate. i really mean something like facebook chat. So no admin->many private message. I will check out that quick chat plugin.

no – you need to be logged in as a user to test http://transinformation.net/community/gruppen/d-a-ch-im-licht/members/

No private mmsging here, so reply with your email address so I can send you a login. You can delete that post with your email address right away because I get it via email.

Henry, how I can I send you a login PW so the link is accessible for you? There does not seem to be a private msg function here, and when I try send it to you via email to [edited], the email bounces right away.

Thanks,
Lee

I’m not sure @danbp, as you can see that post was from 8 months ago and the issue with group mentions has only appeared since I installed the latest buddypress update a few days ago.

I don’t think it can be the them because the issue still happens when I switch to the default Twenty Fifteen theme. And I have tried deactivating all the plugins and that hasn’t resolved it so I don’t think it’s that. But I’m not a developer, you clearly know more about these things than I do!

If you could have a look that would be great. Is there a way I can send you a test user account privately?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for replying. I was thinking of removing, later maybe having an alternate version, header for a number of pages. All messages, inbox, outbox etc. Also notifications, friend requests etc. Pages that will be private to you as a user.

I have run into something though, I can’t seem to make a hook work?

function testFunction() {
echo "Hello World!";
}
add_action(‘bp_init’, ‘testFunction’);

I’ve put this in /plugins/bp-custom.php which also have other functions that does work.

So Kleo support says Buddypress NEVER had notifications for comments or likes, only for private messages and friend requests. Is that true? Comments and likes are an important part of a social network and my client wants all of them to be fully functional, not only private messages and friend requests.

I’m still trying to get to the bottom of why some of my users are being shown this message:

“You cannot reply to this topic”

As I mentioned above, whenever I run the “Remap existing users to default forum roles” option in /wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair I end up with a blank screen. It seems like this could be related to the problem – can anyone explain what this option does and how to fix it so it runs correctly?

@danbp Thanks for the offer of help. Can I pass on this information to you privately somehow?

That should not be an issue whatsoever with 2 John Smiths, two should should up and you click on whichever one you want. Most people I know actually deactivate the activity system. When they message the private message by clicking on profile, most communities are not the type everyone knows everyone, its actually the other way around, those types are in minority and buddypress seems to cater to them.

Its actually a very simple solution, implement an option, with username and another one first and last name.

mine says define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);

and script_debug is not found in my wp-config.php

With my issue, I am not getting any error message, and there is no error message on the server either. When I try to change a profile photo using BuddyPress, it just does not allow me to change it. It kind of “blinks” instead of bringing up the crop screen.

Similarly, when I try to send a private message in BuddyPress, it lets me compose the message, but when I try to send it, it “blinks” with no error message but does not send the private message. The private message disappears and does not go into my sent folder, either.

thank you @mercime I did try the 2015 theme after deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress, and same issue. Yes I can upload images and see thumbnails with 2015 theme and with my BuddyBoss theme. I still have the problem with profile images not working. I also have a new issue where private messages no longer work from inside BuddyPress. I am hosted with inmotion.

Hi @minglonaire,

The forum part is easy because that is built into bbPress in the first place. If you read the “Getting Started with bbPress” page https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/ you will note that there are three settings for forum visibility:

Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums

I made my base forum (which is actually a category) Private, and the majority of sub-forums Public – but tied into the BuddyPress groups so you required membership to each particular group to access each of the forums. This only works if BuddyPress is hidden from logged out users.

If you don’t want to use BuddyPress groups… just make all your forums Private.

Note that BuddyPress defines Public, Private and Hidden slightly differently than bbPress

I had issues with my theme not displaying Hidden Groups to the people it should… If this is an issue for you, check out another thread… https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hidden-groups-and-forums-not-showing-for-members-of-them/

All the best! 🙂

Good news everyone. My theme developers and I have solved this issue on the theme I am using!

The first tricky hurdle was discovering a !important directive in the main.css of the theme for handling .hidden so I removed it to become .hidden{display:none;visibility:hidden} so styling in my child theme would work.

In my child theme, I did an ‘inspect element’ to discover that the hidden groups were listed as:

<li> class='odd hidden is-admin is-member">_</li>
<li> class='even hidden is-admin is-member">_</li>

So, I added the following code to my style.css in the child theme

.odd.hidden.is-admin.is-member {
display: block;
visibility: visible;
}

.even.hidden.is-admin.is-member {
display: block;
visibility: visible;
}

This worked for admin, but not members of the groups who weren’t admins so… Logged in as one of those and using ‘inspect element’ I found that private groups were listed as:

<li> class='odd hidden is-admin is-member">_</li>
<li> class='even hidden is-admin is-member">_</li>

Applying the same logic as above, I added the following code to my style.css

.odd.hidden.is-member {
display: block;
visibility: visible;
}

.even.hidden.is-member {
display: block;
visibility: visible;
}

And now everything works 🙂

I don’t know if anyone at BuddyPress support can help tidy up my code, but it does the trick and I hope it helps you @bewitchingfiction @donalconlon @olay And thanks for your help @danbp

Hello @Henry Wright
Yes Im redirected to compose message, but I want is the recipient will automatically added to send to fields like when you go to someone’s page then clicked the Private Message.

Anyway, thankyou so much!
