Here is a video that shows what the issue is. Apologies for the third-grade video editing:

As shown in this video, the steps to recreate the issue are to:
1) Click on any community member
2) Click the “Public Message” button on their profile
3) On the activity feed page, place your cursor in the message box and type “Here I am typing”
4) Hover your mouse cursor over the “Post Update” button. Notice that it is still an arrow icon because you cannot click it.
5) Click the button. IT WILL NOT POST.
6) Click anywhere outside of the message box (e.g. white space off to the right).
7) Hover back over the “Post Update” button. Notice that it is STILL an arrow icon because you cannot click it.
8) Click the button. IT WILL NOT POST.
9) Click back in the message field.
10) Hover back over the “Post Update” button. The cursor changes to a hand icon because the button has now been activated.
11) Click the button. IT FINALLY POSTS.

So, the user experience is that they type their message and then have to click somewhere outside of the message box, then click back inside the message box before they can send their message. Not a good user experience. It did this both on the Klein theme that I am using and the standard WordPress 2016 theme. Exact same experience.

Let me know if there are additional questions that I can clarify.

Thanks for any help demystifying why this is happening.

And finally, I just noticed that this forum is correctly showing my Username as “@pastordatm” which it should be on my site, https://datm.org/ under the Member profiles for BuddyPress.

QUESTIONS: Is this the correct sub-forum for the BuddyPress developers to see this bug report? Is there a Bugzilla bug tracking log (or similar) that has WordPress User access to see if this bug has been reported before? It may need updating for BuddyPress Version 3.1.0 now.

As always, thanks in advance for any assistance that can be provided towards this issue.

Thanks for your reply.

Sure, I also wanted to know that is it possible to activate this(@mention) functionality sitewide ??. As I need it to be on my questions page too.

Diagnostics? Good questions. Debug is on. No errors. Wp mail sends test emails fine, but no activation email working.

If possible I would like Member Admins to be able to create their own questions for Member Users to fill out on the profile page but not needed.

They don’t have a contact page for that. They have a contact page for custom development or for pre sales questions.

hello, thank you it worked

I have few other questions :

1) what about the css, I tried to edit it but the css of the registration page is not changing even with the !important, ps : I tried to add the css rules in the registration page with visual composer. Usually when the css rule is not working properly I can find the rule in the console and the rule is crossed out, but here in this case I can’t even find the css rules that I added.

2) how can I disable the sentence “this field can be seen by X” , I tried to disable it with the css rule display:none but I got the problem that I described in the first point, is there another way to disable it other than with the css ?

thank you for your answers

Thank you Vapvarun for the reassurance on MailGun.

I had a few quick follow-up questions, I was hoping you could help me with:

1. Do you recommend I go into “maintenance mode” before switching the email service to Mailgun or do you have any other workflow suggestions for making the email service change on a very active site?

2. When a member gets a site generated notification is the sender email always the site email, even if it’s to notify them of a message from another member, in other words, is one MailGun account (subject to the email limit I purchase) going to do the trick for a large buddypress membership site?

3. When a member messages a member inside the site, is this through their email?

And if you have any documentation on this that would be great too. I’m having trouble trying to understand how email/notifications/messaging in a buddypress site functions, and then in turn how to solve our problem of exceeding our hosts* 500 per day email limit.

Thank you again!

*Interestingly GetFlyWheel use SendGrid but when I contacted SendGrid they referred me to MailGun

Do you expect any user to answer 16 questions before he posts a message? It seems to me unreasonable. I understand that it is a non-profit organization, and I appreciate that, but still, I’m sure that not all problems require you to know all of the system’s specifications. Let alone my very specific issue. If any tiny problem requires that amount of information, then maybe this entire project needs to be reexamined from the technical aspect.
Thanks

What’s wrong with the support of Buddypress?
With every plugin I get reply’s within a few hours, but Buddypress just doesn’t bother to answer questions.

I would like some help on this and other issues please.
