ParticipantHi 🙂
Does anyone has an idea for this?I tried to contact the theme developper but I think he does not answer questions like this one anymore, I can understand him but I don’t really know how to fix this without help…
I don’t really know where to look, which files are concerned?
thank you very muchJuly 12, 2014 at 12:08 pm #185004In reply to: If asking for help
Participanthi @tau001,
have you ever read about BuddyPress before asking ? 😉
BP is compatible with most of the (recent) WP themes. There is no need to reach a dedicated BP theme (these are mostly outdated now < BP 1.8)
Be aware that a commercial theme will cut you off of public forums like this one. Nobody can help you, outside the theme support. And don’t buy a spectacular homepage picture with bright colors and heavy markting claims if you don’t know exactly what you need.
Built first the skeleton and add a skin after. When building a house, you can’t begin with the wallpaper ?!!!For your questions:
1) see link
2) yes of course
3) – yes
– yes with an extra plugin: myCred

ParticipantThanks for that clarification. All of my other modifications have been done through CSS and saved to the stylesheet of my WordPress child theme.
Anyway, the second questions still stands, when I downloaded the file the lines must be different as there are a bunch of blank lines and line 9 is <head>. Can you specify what I should be removing?

Thans so much for your assistance. I have 2 follow up questions,
Should the child theme be under themes or templates?

That’s not a problem because since BP 1.7 you can create your own very easily. Check out this article on the BP Template Hierarchy for info on how templates work. If you have any questions or come across any problems then I suggest you open a separate topic for each different issue.

June 19, 2014 at 2:11 pm #184225In reply to: How do I move profile subnavs to Settings subnav
lflier
ParticipantThanks. I’ll try this as time permits.
In the meantime I can share with @josephfrio13yahoocom what I know about changing the BuddyPress subnav section:
1. You’ve seen a working example of creating a new subnav in the code I posted earlier. Just substitute your own output function for the xprofile_screen_change_avatar function in the line:
add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'xprofile_screen_change_avatar' );2. To remove a subnav item see my post here.
3. To change the default subnav, which you will have to do if you want to delete a default subnav, see the BuddyPress codex here, which has a nice example.
I’m sure Henry could do better, but I hope this gets you started. All of this can be done in a functions.php file. No modifications of the BP core should be necessary.

koendb
ParticipantGot it 🙂
All you need is the value of the checkbox.
<input id="nieuwsbrief" type="checkbox" value="newsletter"
You can find/set this value in the users –> profile fields pageThen just set the value of $newsletter to ‘newsletter’ when the box is checked or any other value if it’s not and use:
$meta_update = xprofile_set_field_data( '<em>name or id of field</em>', $user_id, $newsletter);Glad to answer any questions
June 12, 2014 at 8:33 am #183943In reply to: BuddyPress and SEO Best Practices
ParticipantSEO best practices are more marketings philosophy questions before technical solutions.
By default WP/BP display correctly their content. Some learning about permalinks and tags usage would be good starters for a correct ranking and site search.Good SEOing is a full time job and using a plugin to achieve this job is not the solution, but only an easier way to handle some parts.
That said, the most popular SEO plugin for WP/BP is probably Yoast. Googling about this produces many answers and good advices.
June 12, 2014 at 7:44 am #183934In reply to: I want to use BP BUT is there a plugin for this use?
jjjaay9
Participanti found some plugins that MAY do this: answer/questions
However, if I used these plugins, how easy do they integrate with buddypress?
Can I customize to show these pages, and for users to have a default link to ‘create a question’ ?I mean, if they have ‘create post’ like a normal wordpress blog, then buying/using a question/answer plugin is kinda useless as most wont be able to find the link to it – and will automatically create a post instead.
Also, how would i know if it looks good or this plugin will integrate with BP?For example, would it show up as a sidebar saying recent questions like recent posts etc?
Otherwise if it doesn’t integrate with BP then there’s no point using BP if it has a question and answer section that acts normally as wordpress anyway.
If so, what are teh benefits of using BP AND a question/answer plugin?
one eg i think of is, users can private message eachotehr when someone posts a questionThanks

May 29, 2014 at 1:51 am #183431In reply to: Bluehost Activation emails being filtered
Zane
ParticipantSmall update with regards to bluehost. I have been exchanging emails with them regarding this email. For your reading enjoyment.
First Bluehost tries to accuse me of spamming
Hi, it appears your emails have been reported by multiple providers
(such as yahoo or comcast) as containing spam, this in turn has flagged
our outbound email filter. We have removed your domain from the filter
for now. To prevent this, I would advise the following:If you are sending email via email lists or a third party ad vendor:
BE sure you are not using any purchased lists
Be sure 100% sure the emails you are sending to are emails that those
people want to receiveBe sure you are using a double opt in when adding to your email lists
Be sure you are not sending to ANY spam traps- a spam trap is created by
multiple providers, it is an email that is never given out and found
only in source code. If a spam trap receives an email from a domain,
this is a clear indication that domain is using an email list that was
not created by people opting in, which is against the terms of service
and is considered spam.Further more, be sure you are following our complete terms of service
concerning Sending email:We do not allow the sending of unsolicited mass emails to others. We
have zero tolerance for accounts which contain material that has been
promoted through unsolicited email (spam) or mail fraud schemes, or
which contain pages that promote or condone the sending of unsolicited
email.All emails sent from our servers or sent from another server that
advertise a site that is hosted on our servers are required to stay
within these rules:(1.) You are required to follow all rules in the Can Spam Act
(additional information at:
http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus61-can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business
)(2.) No purchased lists. Everyone that you send emails to MUST HAVE
CONTACTED YOU DIRECTLY and asked for the information you are sending.
Affiliate opt-ins are not a valid method of opt in.(3.) The list must be double opt in. This means that the recipient must
request to be added, and then you must send an email asking them to
confirm the request.(4.) You must have an automated opt out link; Email based opt out
(mailto: links) are not acceptable.Quoting from the above link:
Please see our Terms of Service at
https://www.bluehost.com/antispam_policy and
https://www.bluehost.com/acceptable_use_policy#spam for additional
information.If you are sending email individually:
Change all email passwords and check all devices/computers for any virus
or malwareConfirm with everyone that uses email from your domain that they are
following the spam rules as stated aboveIf you are sending email through a script or a contact
form/tell-a-friend script:Be sure you have or add a captcha feature on all contact forms or
tell-a-friend scriptsCheck your websites content for any malicious or suspecious files that
should not be thereUpdate all your Websites scripts including themes and plugins
Once you are have confirmed you are following or now applying all of the
above information, you will need to wait for your domains reputation to
become clear. We have no time frame on how long this takes as our
outbound filter relies on information from other providers to determine
this.In cases of a compromised script/email:
Change all your passwords to your emails
Update all your email scripts
Check for malicious files hidden within your sites
Secure all devices that access your account.
We hope this information helps you.”

My response to the bluehost response above
I send no emails from this account. I don’t have any email accounts
associated with this domain. I only use one email forwarder to send any
email sent to admin@site.com so I am not really sure any of
your analysis below holds any ground. Please provide any information to
back up your summary? What email account was sending messages?There is a bigger issue at hand here. Look at the buddypress FAQ. Why
do you think that out of every web host they only call out bluehost?Your resolution was the same resolution that was put in place a month
ago. How do I prevent my account from getting flagged again? Please
find out what it is about buddypress that is causing bluehost to
incorrectly flag accounts as spam accounts.Bluehost continues to stick to the assumption that my account is spamming
Thank you for contacting Technical Support. We understand that sending out emails is vital to any business. Since you are on a shared server, all email you send out uses shared mail servers. Our filter system is in place to prevent our mail servers IP from becoming blacklisted by third party companies. When this occurs, it will block the ability of all of our customer accounts to send out emails. The process then becomes long and complicated once it has been flagged. In order to prevent this we have put in place several services to prevent this from happening.
We don’t solely check blacklisting services to see if a domain and or IP address is being blacklisted. One of the spam prevention tools that we have in place relies on reports from other email and internet service providers; such as yahoo, comcast, broadband and others. The reports were generated by those who receive the emails and are marking them as spam or junk. We do not have the ability to view who specifically flags the email. Due to this, we can only rely on the reports from these major providers that report them to us. As we do not have control as to if they flag it or not, we cant control if your domain gets listed or not.
I would recommend checking through the lists that you send out and remove any email addresses that you get bounces from. You can then remove that email address from your list. Over time people may forget that they had signed up for your list and are simply marking your messages as spam/junk. It might be a good idea to email your list and have them opt-in again to your list. You can then remove those that do not opt-in to ensure that that those on the list are legitimate.
If you have any other questions please reply to this ticket, chat us, or call our technical support line which is open 24/7.
My response
I don’t think you are reading my email responses. I do not send emails
from any account on this domain. The only emails that are sent are
registration activation emails. How is my domain getting black listed
if I am not sending emails?Their response. Apparently my email forwarder to my own account is also somehow sending spam email to other people and buddypress is responsible for spam.
Hello,
You send e-mail via buddypress, you also send mail via the forwarder. These both contribute to the blacklist you’ve now been added to.
My response. I request information on what about the activation emails is causing my site to get blacklisted
I have only received one email via the forwarder and that wouldn’t put me
on a black list. Therefore the activation emails must be what is putting
me on the blacklist WordPress installations get registration spam all the
time but they do not get the sites blacklisted. What is it about
buddypress that is triggering the blacklist?Their response. It is top secret.
Hello,
We release no specifics on the exact criteria incorporated to flag the contents of e-mail messages to prevent our filters from being defeated. Generally, quantity of messages sent, specific reports of spam e-mail from third parties, internal links or keywords associated with known mass mailing agencies, or a combination of all of the above can lead to the domain’s reputation being reduced to the extent that it requires intervention.
My final response tonight
Very well,
The net sum is I do not send email from this account. The only email sent is activation emails sent by wordpress/buddypress. I have had the typical spam troubles dealing with fake registrations from spammers and I assume those spam registrations are flagging the spam filter. I have never had this issue with wordpress spam activation emails flagging one of my accounts as spam so it is clear that SOMETHING about the buddypress activation emails is to blame (it is the only variable that has changed). This fact is reinforced by the fact that buddypress calls out bluehost.com’s failure to address this email in their FAQ https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/faq/
[quote]BuddyPress isn’t sending out emails (eg. activation emails, email notifications). This appears to be a problem with certain web hosts (Bluehost primarily). Members of the BP community have had success using]/quote]
I have provided a copy of the activation emails my account is sending on my previous ticket for analysis. I have changed nothing to the default buddypress activation emails.
Please invest some time in identifying why this very popular wordpress plugin is triggering spam filtering by bluehost email. I am happy to make any modifications to my code to resolve this issue and I am sure the buddypress community would love to remove this section from their FAQ. I appreciate your support addressing this issue. Thank you for your continued support with this issue. I have invested a lot of time and effort into this project and I would hate to see it die because bluehost continues to flag my account incorrectly due to an error in the spam filtering software on bluehost’s end. Thank you.

devonc01
ParticipantI resolved this issue, but another remains:
Yesterday, I was getting frustrated with the bbPress (a forum plugin for WordPress), because when I’d have a private forum, instead of it just being an attribute, it prepended ‘Private: ‘ before every forum.
In my attempt to resolve this issue, I found a similar thing to what JSHelp referenced in this Stack Overflow Post: a code that would be located in the theme’s (my theme was Twenty-Fourteen) functions.php file.
My attempt to resolve THAT issue, led to THIS issue (where we have HTML code being converted to non-code text on the buddyPress profile page).
On removing the code from function.php, the issue fixed itself.
However, I am unsure why these two interact in the way that they do, below is the code I added and later commented out:
function the_title_trim($title) { // Might aswell make use of this function to escape attributes $title = attribute_escape($title); // What to find in the title $findthese = array( '#Protected:#', // # is just the delimeter '#Private:#' ); // What to replace it with $replacewith = array( '', // What to replace protected with '' // What to replace private with ); // Items replace by array key $title = preg_replace($findthese, $replacewith, $title); return $title; } add_filter('the_title', 'the_title_trim');May 26, 2014 at 7:25 pm #183350In reply to: [Resolved] Help for THIS forum

Participant@henrywright
Thanks. I still don’t see anything related to how to get help with my account on this support forum. That’s the point i feel like i’m not getting across, i do not see a subforum for questions related to this website, buddypress.org.
@bphelp
Ok. The problem i’m having is that i would like to change my avatar. But when i try to, i am told i have to create a Gravatar account. When i try to do this, i run into a bunch of problems. The reason i didn’t start out by describing my problem in more detail is because i don’t see a place to post this kind of inquiry. This is not about BuddyPress, this is about my accounts at buddypress.org, trying to understand how this relates to my account at wordpress.org, and how this all relates to Gravatar.I’m looking for help with this website, not with the software. I was trying to NOT post my question in an inappropriate place. If there is an appropriate place to post this kind of question, all i am asking is where that is.
Thank you.
May 25, 2014 at 10:21 pm #183334In reply to: New User – Invalid Key – The Solution
r-a-y
Keymaster@antimuffin – I tried duplicating this, but can’t.
I have a few other questions:- Are you using a different language other than
en_USfor your WordPress install? - Are you using any email plugins? Specifically, are you using a plugin that converts the plain-text email over to HTML? If so, this might be where the problem lies.
- How did you access the activation email? Webmail? Email client?
- What is the default character encoding in your email client? Mine is Unicode. I tried converting the character encoding over to Western (ISO-8859-1) and Western (Windows-1252) and couldn’t duplicate the problem. Note that this is for the default plain-text activation email. How are you converting the email over to ANSI?
Any other feedback would be useful.

It’s difficult for me to answer the question about whether it happens in the default theme because I don’t want to change my live site because people are using it, and when I create a staging site, the load more button works in the current theme.

May 14, 2014 at 9:15 am #182866In reply to: Mastermind: BuddyPress Education Open Sourced
ParticipantHi @julianprice,
Your proposal is respectable, but unfortunately I do not think it will have a big impact on visitors to this forum. Most of them just ask for help, not for explanations and certainly not to take lessons! The explanations are (mostly) on Codex (thxs @mercime, @hnla) and the plasters for big and little sores are (sometimes, thxs contributors) on the forum.
I reply to your message because this is the second time you propose this type of approach and this is obviously a topic that you would like to heart. But this is about you, your views and your motivation. In front you have a diverse audience, ranging from amateur to pro, between noobs and specialists, from many different countries, with very different mentalities and very different social behaviors. And as you can see by browsing the forum, topics are usually short, sometimes poorly worded and often unanswered. Hard to read ? No, it is only the BP audience in his whole variety !
The reasons are multiple, irrespective of audience: lack of product knowledge, panic facing an unidentified problem and therefore inability to articulate, language barrier, and much more serious, lack of time, real or perceived problem, given to the treatment of a case. We are in 2014 and on the Internet, where each ms. count !
As already said, the helpers community is small, very small compared to buddypress downloads ! Personally I would have difficulty establishing a Helpers Top 50, despite my six years of attendance in this forum.
Anyway, all of this is common to any support forum, at least I observed. This support forum is not a discussion forum, is not a course forum, is not a philosophy forum. And IMO, it is allright so.
You want to educate ? Ok ! But does the BP audience want to learn ?
Learning is a complex process, on an individdual and collective point of view.
Learning suppose some basics, such as a thematic unicity, volonty, curiosity, motivation and, at least, a handfull of humility.Educating. Wow ! There is so much to say about that… Ok. Let us talk about educating over BuddyPress… What part we address first ? PHP ? HTML ? CSS ? MySql ? Server administration ? SEO ? Usage ? BP is only a shell, not a unic thematic like a math course.
Ideally, educating needs some talents, a robust knowledge of a subject, a natural disposition to teach and a lot of time and disponibility without any guarantee of results. You certainly need also a good dose of self-denial and a large space behind you to be able to step back in any circumstance. And a handfull of humility. Too !Now, let us consider John Doe. The supposed to be educated user.
The majority struggles when asking for help to strangers. Asking a question on a forum is more like a message in a bottle as a grammatical demand between four eyes to your English teacher. How many people read only on forums but never ask anything because of this feeling?
And which attitude to adopt when we receive a response, good or bad? Must we say thank you if the help doesn’t match our goal? Should we rephrase with the risk to be considered as a profiteer? Should we hook in a topic believed to be identical to our problem and already written (time spare is time spare!!!) or open a new tread? This are so commonly questions, that the world wide forumers needed to create from scratch a web specific phenomenon: the troll!Askink for help under these conditions and with such uncertain issues is not easy at all.
Receiving any kind of answer is not easy, too.
Receiving a circonstanciated answer, with various explanation, examples, links and tutti quanti, from an unknowed person, personally, voluntarily and without consideration, is very very stressfull and really difficult to accept. Take a minute to consider this point, because we are all, and all over the world, habituate to handle such a situation with money, not (no more or not yet) with our felling. Consider also that we are all dependent and in varying degrees of mood, touchy, selfish, proud. This is more or less our daily reality who, when on a forum page, we opposite to a disembodied screen readed text. It’s very unnatural, no ? And so difficult to digest for any normally constituted human for sure ! Affect against computer. EOL.Do you really want to <i>Educate the General Public</i> about BuddyPress ? Do you want to proselytize or advertize ? Create a dedicated site, do your stuff, and maybe with a few chance, great patience and a lot of perseverance, you will come to aggregate in a few years a cute pretty lttle buddypresser community.
Dan. Paris. France.
