BuddyPress.org

Thanks, I have notified my Theme provider Reign to check if its something on their end.

I have a different problem. Activity posts are visible to the user who posted them on his profile page in Buddy Press Pro Theme, but they are not visible to anyone, even their author, on the Activity Page. Nor are any activity posts in any group visible to anyone, but their author and then only when he looks at his profile page. This problem seems to have occured sometime after March 14 of 2024.

There can be a few reasons why comments aren’t showing up in your activity stream. Here’s how to troubleshoot the issue:

Check Settings:
Platform Settings: Verify that comments are enabled for the activity stream and for the specific content type (e.g., blog posts, forum discussions) you’re looking at. This might be in your platform’s administration panel.
Comment Moderation: Is comment moderation enabled? Comments might be waiting for approval before showing up.

Content vs. Stream:
Comment Location: Were the comments made directly on the post or within the activity stream itself? Some platforms only show comments made on the original post in the activity stream.

Technical Issues:
Cache: Clear your browser cache and reload the page. Outdated cached data might hide comments.
Plugins/Themes: If you’re using a custom theme or plugins related to activity streams or comments, try temporarily deactivating them to see if there’s a conflict.

Platform Specifics:
For example, BuddyPress (a popular social networking plugin for WordPress) has settings related to where comments appear in the activity stream. Look for documentation specific to your platform.

@werny check with your theme support

@mervyntsao make sure to upload and activate the child theme after installing the parent theme.

I have a similar issue. After plugin updates, the activity page url often stops working.

To get around it I have to add “-3” to the end of the activity page url, and then create a redirect as we have urls going to the activity page in our menu. It works for a while, but eventually stops working. When this happens, I change the url back by removing the “-3” and remove the redirect.

I need to change the members url as well by adding “-3” to the end of it, or removing it depending on which url is working.

This typically only happens after running plugin updates. This last time a plugin auto updated and we lost our urls. wpmudev. I’ve turned off auto updates so I can keep an eye on things, but it would be good to know what’s causing this.

I have the latest version, and BP classic, also the latest version. WP and everything else is kept up to date.

Thanks

Worse for me.

I have a problem installing BuddyPress from a “fresh” installation of WP. The WP installation works correctly, nothing to report. I go through the plugins admin page and search for buddypress, download it and install it and activate it. No error message, installation seems to work. I have the additional menu items including the URL slug management page. But none of the pages work, all fall to 404. Even if I change a slug for a custom one and save. Nothing works.

The only particularity is that the initial installation of WP is in French. But even if from this “fresh” installation in French I revert WP to US English, nothing happens, none of the slugs work!

Hi @vapvarun

Very interesting; I am trying to simply create unique pages for each URL on BuddyPress, I read in a previous thread that you will need to edit the child theme template pages; I am using Elementor and want to embed the BuddyPress components onto the page template and cant find any solution to this except for shortcode, which are limited.

Any suggestions.

Tanks in advance

@scordisian BP pages are not standard post-loop
to understand the flow, you can child template files for BuddyPress
You can find them inside the BuddydPress plugin at the following path
buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau
You can modify all of these templates by using a child theme.

@mervyntsao These are template-driven pages; if you have to modify them, you need to override template files inside the child theme and then make your changes
For legacy
buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/
for Nouveau
buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/members

can be overridden inside the child theme
