BuddyPress.org

I have another potential fix if the above one is not working for anyone.

if ( ! function_exists( 'myarcadetheme_remove_bp_wpseo_title' ) && function_exists( 'wpseo_auto_load' ) ) { function myarcadetheme_remove_bp_wpseo_title() { if ( ! bp_is_blog_page() ) { $myarcadetheme_front_end = WPSEO_Frontend::get_instance(); remove_filter( 'pre_get_document_title', array( $myarcadetheme_front_end, 'title' ), 15 ); } } add_action( 'init', 'myarcadetheme_remove_bp_wpseo_title' ); }

You can add that in a site plugin or a child theme’s functions.php

Also feel free to rename the function to whatever you want \0 I like to keep it the name of the theme I am using

Hello, I had exactly the same problem, with the theme “KLEO” (seventhqueen).

If it can helps someone, the problem was caused by the plugin “Buddypress Cover Photo”. I fixed it by changing the first line in the file /plugins/buddypress-cover-photo/group-cover.php :

if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) ) :

by

if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) && bp_is_active('groups') ) :

(It’s my first post on this forum, so I wanted to say that Buddypress is a great plugin, good work guys !)

That’s the problem of BuddyPress compatibility with color schemes.
Core developers decided to adopt only default color scheme, because time needed to test and modify for all of the schemes, and we all are volunteers.

And try Hueman theme, it’s better 🙂 Using on it htpps://cosydale.com

well.. i haven’t updatet Buddypress nor have I installed the beta version. But somehow the problem is solved. I had a problem with MyCred as well and they mentioned something about the plugin “user role editor”. Somehow it (or i did by mistake) change the admin role. So maybe this had something to do with the private message issue as well?

If not it was a theme issue because we did receive a update from the theme.

Anyway. thank you all for helping me with this problem

I believe the answer is in the question itself.

heavily customised Buddypress

I’m pretty sure they have customized templates. So perhaps some things are hard-coded in templates (like register.php) and needs to be cleaned up.
So I would suggest going to a theme, and check all corresponding template files.
Here is a hierarchy that can be useful for you: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/

Is this error appearing on all pages of a site (on front-end) or only in admin area where you are upgrading?
Woffice is a premium theme from themeforest, so we can’t test that. The issue might be in the way hooks are used in a theme, so you might want to contact them.

@kookidooki What theme and what plugins do you have active? We need more information to understand what might be causing this problem.

Thank you for coming here and reporting the issue!

which theme are you using? did u update to 2.6?

in your child theme copy the register.php to /buddypress/members/index-register.php and edit the index-register.php the way you want it

Template Hierarchy

Try switching your theme to a WordPress default theme.

If that doesn’t work, disable all unnecessary plugins. If that works, then re-enable your plugins one at a time to see which plugin is causing trouble.

Shift to default wp 2016 theme and check

use plugin called theme my login

are you using any redirect plugin or code?

which theme are u using? can u use the wp2016 theme and see?

How do I do this?

You have to bake 5 894 pizza and search the forum ! Or experiment the following…

First you remove the counter. This can be done by using the language file.
Original string is Friends <span class="%s">%s</span> to replace by eg. Friends

or using this function (add to bp-custom.php)

function bpfr_remove_friends_count( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {
		
	if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )  
	return $translated; 
	
	switch ( $original_text ) {
		
		case 'Friends <span class="%s">%s</span>':
		return 'Friends';
		
		default:
		return $translated;
	}
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'bpfr_remove_friends_count', 10, 3 );

The Friends subnav has only two elements: friendships and request.
Friendships is the default one and can’t be removed. So we have to hide it with css. Add this to your child-theme style.css

#friends-my-friends-personal-li {display:none;}

This is default css, and you have to check it as it can vary depending your theme.

Finally add a new subnav item with counter in replaciement of the one you’ve just hiden (add to bp-custom.php).

function bpfr_custom_profile_sub_nav() {
global $bp;

	if( bp_is_active( 'friends' ) )

	$count    = friends_get_total_friend_count();
	$class    = ( 0 === $count ) ? 'no-count' : 'count';
	
	//Add subnav item 	 
	bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
		'name' => sprintf( __( 'Friendships <span class="%s">%s</span>', 'buddypress' ), esc_attr( $class ), bp_core_number_format( $count ) ),			
		'slug'            => 'friends',
		'parent_url'      => $bp->loggedin_user->domain,
		'parent_slug'     => $bp->friends->slug,
		'screen_function' => 'friends_screen_my_friends',
		'position' => 10
		)
	);	
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_custom_profile_sub_nav' ); 

Sorry, my fault! I haven’t realised you mentioned /messages/compose.php

The snippet is intended to work on the what’s new form, not the compose message form.

To do this, we need the correct textarea name and another editor_id. Use this function:

function bpfr_compose_msg_tiny_editor() {

$content = "";
	
	if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) :
	$content = esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] ); 
	endif;

	$editor_settings = array(
		'content' => bp_messages_content_value(),
		'textarea_name' => 'content',
		'editor_id' => 'message_content',
		'teeny'=>true,
		'media_buttons'=>false
	);
	wp_editor( bp_messages_content_value(), "message_content", $editor_settings); 
}
add_action( 'compose_edit_tools', 'bpfr_compose_msg_tiny_editor' );

In compose.php, remove line 38
<textarea name="content" id="message_content" rows="15" cols="40"><?php bp_messages_content_value(); ?></textarea>

and replace it by

<?php do_action( 'compose_edit_tools' ); ?>

Visual and Text tab may be unecessary. You can hide them by adding this to your theme style.css:
#wp-message_content-editor-tools {display:none!important;}

To get the edit tools on the reponse editor, same trick, replace the textarea line 123 in /messages/single.php with the above action hook.

Hey, it’s monday ! Site url ? Theme name ? Give details please.

See also the codex, as there is plenty of documentation about how BuddyPress can be setup and used.

User Extended Profiles

Don’t add a function, just do this:
remove_action( 'bp_notification_settings', 'groups_screen_notification_settings' );

And it won’t work in bp-custom.
Put it in your theme or child-theme functions.php.

Such a plugin doesn’t exist, sorry. Customizing (eg. insert css) starts here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
Best place to get advice about your theme is here:

The file containing layout information is (your theme)/style.css

Hi @binary10,

the plugin is outdated and doesn’t work with BP 2.5.3 network activated. Last update was 2 years ago and his compatibility was up to WP 3.8.14… Meantime, @mention evoluted and this plugin has no objective reason to be alive today. On BP’s side, what’s new form has now it’s own template file (post-form.php) and works a bit differently as 3 years ago.

Except if you’re still using BP 1.8, BP default theme and WP 3.8, you’re loosing your time with it.

If you need a what’s new area somewhere, you can simply call his template. Eg.

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) :			
	bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );			
endif; 

Successfully tested on a MS install sub blog, and @mention 100% on hand.
