BuddyPress.org

I just found the same error! I cannot send messages to users with a dash in their username. The error I am getting is when I try to select that user as the recipient, it shows there name but then also the following errors IN the dropdown:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/tr0421or/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/genesis-connect/lib/ajax.php:541) in /home/tr0421or/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-messages.php on line 556

I get the same error for other users but message will go thru.

are you using genesis connect by any chance? I have a post in to them about it…

Try the following:

Or:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-make-a-private-community/?topic_page=3&num=15#post-44729

Add the code to your theme’s functions.php.

You’d probably want to echo the result.

Use the following in topic.php:
`bp_forum_send_private_message_link()`

And not:
`bp_forum_get_send_private_message_link()`

Have you read over the FAQs here: (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/private-buddypress/)?

I have the same question

I reinstalled the forums and then created more groups (my first group was private). Now it works fine. So I have no idea what to tell you. This is a completely fresh install I did about an hour before I posted I was having the problem.

Try adding more groups and putting in some test posts. That’s what fixed mine. (When I reinstalled, I was still having the same problem until I added more groups.)

What BP version are you on? That issue has been fixed https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2759 to address deprecated notice if you’re on PHP 5.3+

== It shouldn’t need 33MB of RAM just to activate the plugin. ==
It depends on server configurations ultimately. I set up a BP install for a friend on a shared hosting plan with 32MB and it’s running well with a private community of 250+ members. Resolve the deprecated notices issues first and see if you still need to increase memory limit.

First thing’s first, if you want to have user-blog-URL’s as http://myname.mysite.com/ then you have to install BuddyPress in domain root http://mysite.com/ Otherwise, if you install BP in secondary site with a subdomain configuration, e.g. http://buddypress.mysite.com/, the glitch is that the user blogs created from the secondary site will turn out like http://myname.buddypress.mysite.com/
Reported here: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1796

== 4. but when i do that , the links etc starts showing in the main site ==
Unless you put in code or widget for sitewide recent posts or for list of all blogs, then those links won’t show up in the home page of your main site.

== i only wants users to see once the login to community ==

You should also add some type of nonce verification:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_create_nonce

Reason is in your function anyone can send a Bzzt even if you’re not logged in if they know the correct URL schema.

Right now, your function is coded so it runs whenever the function is called.
You need to create an action listening function at a predetermined slug so your function should run; or if you’re feeling really up to it, use ajax to send the request.

Check out any action function in BP for hints.

Here’s such an example to get you started:
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-xprofile.php#L398

I’m afraid that you do need the services of a coder really, you can post in the jobs section for some help or as I said earlier try approaching the themes author which really you should try first as they wrote the theme know their code and how to adapt / modify it.

I’m afraid I no longer help privately on small jobs as they cost too much time, happy to help on support in public posts where I can though.

This was an issue but it was attended to with a workaround by Boone with a little help from me ( well I discovered it ) it predates the favorite issue and shouldn’t be apparent but it’s a while since I looked.

I am using cometchat quite successfully and it works great with BP. It is a single-user sign in and pulls avatars and passwords from your wordpress/bp site. You can choose to have friend-to-friend chats or make public/ private rooms… You can also choose not to have it appear for non-logged in users. You can also have other modules like Wibya chat… I have had not one issue with it on my site. It is a little heavy for shared-hosting… if you have a VPS 512 Meg plus, you should be fine. It’s well worth the $49 U.S. dollars. They are working on version 3.0 and it should be out within the next 2 months, so it should be getting better (free upgrades for those of you within the year of your purchase).

Not aware of any current issues regarding this. We have fixed a situation where when a private group’s member could favourite an item, which then any other site member could view that single item by going to the group member’s profile and viewin their favourites. This is going to become BuddyPress 1.2.9 this weekend.

If you think you’ve found an issue, please consider any conflicts with other plugins (or by using any theme other than BP-Default) and give clear instructions how to recreate.

I am having the same issue… I’m not a super techie so can someone clarify whether there is some way around this now? I am using 1.2.8 and WP 3.1

Members are able to comment on so-called private forums. They appear in the normal flow of posts, but a further glitch: when you click their name you don’t go to their profile, you get redirected to the site homepage.
