@leo1951 – if you switch to default 2015 theme – does the same issue occur?

are you sure the emails are not being sent? OR.. could it be that when bp is running, the emails that are sent are “blockholed” by the liked of geemail and aol mail services?

similar situation for me – then I registered an account using my own non-filtered catch all email going to my domain name – and it came right through.. so the issue was really related to getting through the gates of the big providers – not an issue with bp sending them exactly.

there was a plugin a while back.. hmm. maybe its par tof core now.. is you go to users -> sub menu manage signups – do you have such a menu on yours or is this plugin created?

try resending and checking your junk fail folders – and then check your server for error logs and bounces perhaps.

Hello, I don want to invade your thread but open my own days ago and its not getting viewed so no replied.

I have searched for ever and is still searching for a solution and not getting answers.

I setup this new site: WordPress 4.7.2 and running MesoColumn theme. The Buddypress version is Version 2.7.4.

In my backend I see the registration Pending and I re-sending the activation sever times while experimenting with other things and my server but to no success. And its not my server because I do have another site working with the same Buddypress version. The only difference the working site has been online since 2014.

Thanks

If there are still people looking for help, I have been trying different things today to:
-add the notifications counter in menu
-style differently if 0 notifications or 1+
-target only the main

It works for me, maybe you can check from here:

// filter to target only main menu
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items','my_nav_menu_notif_counter', 10, 2);

function my_nav_menu_notif_counter($menu, $args) {

$url = bp_core_get_user_domain(bp_loggedin_user_id()) .'notifications/';

// counter to target unread notifications = 0 or 1+
$bpnotifcount = bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() );

       // condition: user must be loggedin
       if (!is_user_logged_in())
                return $menu;
       else

                // condition: only main nav
		if( $args->theme_location == 'primary' ) {

                        // condition: 0 unread notifications
			if($bpnotifcount == 0) { 
                	$notif = '<li><a href=" ' .$url. ' ">Notifications <span class="notifmenucount">'. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .'</span></a></li>';
			} else {
               		$notif = '<li><a href=" ' .$url. ' ">Notifications <span class="notifmenucount countnot0">'. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .'</span></a></li>';
			}

        		$menu = $menu . $notif;
        		return $menu;
		}

        	else
			return $menu;

}

And CSS

/*Notifications counter in menu*/
.notifmenucount {
border-radius: 25%;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
color: #888;
display: inline;
margin-left: 1px;
padding: 2px 6px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: center;
font-size: small;
}
.countnot0 {
color: #ffff00;
background: #ff0000;
border: 1px solid transparent;
}

I tried all sorts of things on this topic today, I ended up with something that looks like it’s working. Maybe you can try it:

// filter to target only main menu
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items','my_nav_menu_notif_counter', 10, 2);

function my_nav_menu_notif_counter($menu, $args) {

$url = bp_core_get_user_domain(bp_loggedin_user_id()) .'notifications/';

// counter to target unread notifications = 0 or 1+
$bpnotifcount = bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() );

       // condition: user must be loggedin
       if (!is_user_logged_in())
                return $menu;
       else

                // condition: only main nav
		if( $args->theme_location == 'primary' ) {

                        // condition: 0 unread notifications
			if($bpnotifcount == 0) { 
                	$notif = '<li><a href=" ' .$url. ' ">Notifications <span class="notifmenucount">'. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .'</span></a></li>';
			} else {
               		$notif = '<li><a href=" ' .$url. ' ">Notifications <span class="notifmenucount countnot0">'. bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) .'</span></a></li>';
			}

        		$menu = $menu . $notif;
        		return $menu;
		}

        	else
			return $menu;

}

And CSS:

/*Notifications counter in menu*/
.notifmenucount {
border-radius: 25%;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
color: #888;
display: inline;
margin-left: 1px;
padding: 2px 6px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: center;
font-size: small;
}
.countnot0 {
color: #ffff00;
background: #ff0000;
border: 1px solid transparent;
}

I hope it helps!

You added recently a new plugin. Deactivate it.
You added recently a custom function. Deactivate it.
You haven’t tested with a twenty theme. You should.

I ignore what is a podobonoy problem! Sorry.

Hi,

it is not available for header cover image, because it is theme dependant (in most of cases).

More about custom size in the documentation

BuddyPress Cover Images

In brief, yes ! Because a BP member is already a regular wp user. As soon as you register to a wp site, you became a wp user, whatever the plugin(s) you use.
Historically, WP is a CMS specialized in blogging… and is still this today… even if it can do much more as in 2003. But if we can today customize theme from within the wp-admin, we’re still confronted to a vintage user manager. Don’t know why, but outside subscriber, author and such (in fact, readers and newspaper actor’s terminology), there is not much you can do (simply) with “users” or “members”…

Perhaps you need some documentation to understand. WordPress distinguish users by roles and access capabilities. There is no “member” consideration. Member is a frontend term who sounds better as subscriber or editor when associated with a plugin like BP0. The term sounds also more accurate when you promote a “crew”, a “team” or a “community”. But technically, there is only a user with a role in WordPress, not a member.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
https://codex.wordpress.org/User_Levels

Did you checked your WordPress time settings ?
What is your server time ?
Since when do you have that issue ?
Do you use a new plugin ?
Have you changed your theme ?
Have you add a custom function somewhere ?
Have you tested by using a twenty theme ?

For the moment, don’t panic. There is no problem in any js file on a common WP/BP installation. 😉

The easiest way is to create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\profile\profile-loop.php

Then, in the overload, remove this conditional: if ( bp_field_has_data() )

@mr3k – I assume “their shortcode for activity” this has to do with the paid version of said theme.. and if you are trying to get something to work with a paid theme, then you are likely not going to get any help in the bp forums from what I have seen over the years.

I wish you luck. Modding the activity stream in bp is such a pain point.

@rickaltman – I think buddypress can do most of what you describe here right out of the box. I would search for forum threads and maybe plugins to have your members auto join a group –
this would give you something like “your site dot com / groups / mainGroupName / members
for this kind of list – although it would be a list rather than grid system – you may find another way to do it, but it’s probably gonna take some hacking-up things to get the grid layout if you really want that – I’d try to find something less robust – like maybe just the wpmudev membership2 plugin in the wp repo – and hackup a page to list authors with a wp theme or something…

bp can do a profile pic.. but it needs plugins to really “upload photos” – and that’s a can of worms in which some is over-baked, some under baked, and future possibilities are endless.. some built in bp hooks have been made a while back but.. well not sure what meant exactly by “upload photos” –

its going to be much easier to get community support for regular wordpress themes and such.. buddypress is probably a lot more power than your use case is gonna need.. and with that is gonna be spam issues – virtually no support for customizing anything.. even if you knew php really well, you’d have learn wordpress well, and then try to digest all the BP docs and sort through tracs.. gits.. and other random stuff on the web that is not well documented, no well supported, and leaves you wondering if it’s secure… and the chances of all the various hackedup things working well together is blah… and future updates – hahaha.. who knows that is going to happen.

In your situation I’d say it wouldn’t hurt to play around with BP – as it’s free.. but if it doesn’t do what you want out of the box.. then I would delete it all – and try a basic wordpress with members plugin.. maybe even just a ‘multi-author blog” – you’ll get less spam, and much less work.

Others may think / feel differently about all this, my experience comes from my issues – your mileage may vary..

I don’t see that hook in member-header.php

You can create a template overload of that file and add what you need directly to the template.

>Do plugins and themes create custom hooks

Yes.

For the text, look at this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\single\cover-image-header.php

For the nav, look at this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\single\home.php

But don’t change those files, make a copy in your theme, aka template overload.

Hum, i have not noticed such an issue on any of my BP sites, what ever theme i use…
Have you tested with all plugins deactivated ?

Afaik you have to debug properly.
Use WP and BP only, with Twenty Sixteen and wp_debug activated.

Read also here and give details.

Well and good, but BuddyPress doesn’t connect to facebook without a plugin. Which one do you use ?
And your theme author is right. That said caching may also imply server latency or bandwith throttling…

If you use a FB plugin, try to ask on their support.

Hi,

you have many errors in your code.

– in the css you declare a class (a dot ) while you use an ID (#) in the html
– in the code, you omit to close a p tag, and you need also a user_id and a way to get the displayed user (WordPress) role. Both are missing.

Here, the whole thing corrected.
– we don’t need a extra div, as we only add a p tag in an existing div.
– the code to get the role holds in 2 small lines.

The CSS (goes into child theme’s style.css)

#item-header-avatar p {
margin: auto;
border:1px solid green;
background: yellow;
width: 110px;
text-transform: capitalize;
}

The html and php for the template (starts aroud line 24 of cover-image-header.php)

<div id="item-header-avatar">
	<a href="<?php bp_displayed_user_link(); ?>">

	<?php bp_displayed_user_avatar( 'type=full' ); ?>
	</a>

	<?php
	$user = new WP_User( bp_displayed_user_id() );
	echo '<p>'. $user->roles[0] .'</p>';
	?>			
	
</div><!-- #item-header-avatar -->

Do it simple ! 😉
