BuddyPress.org

I am having the same issue. My theme is not broken. This happened when I saw an update for buddypress in my notification and I updated. how do I fix this? I run an active social site and my members are seeing this.

Hi @daethian

You might want to let the theme author know and perhaps they can issue a fix that makes the theme compatible with BuddyPress?

Hi @daethian

Have you tried asking on the theme’s support forum?

Did you allowed blog comments in BP settings ? Also, have you assigned a page for activities ? And did you set permalinks to something else than default ?
You can also deactivate, save and reactivate, save your permalinks and BP settings.

FYI bp pages are not considered as an activity, don’t search them there ! 😉
Also, avoid bp-default theme for testing around issues if you never used it, as it is no more fully part of BP since 1.9

Hi @antipole

This is the kind of thing you’ll want to do. The my_redirect() function hooks to template_redirect so bp_core_redirect() executes at exactly the right time you need it to.

You’d put it in your theme’s functions.php file.

function my_redirect() {

    // Conditions go here.

    $location = 'http://example.com';
    bp_core_redirect( $location );
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_redirect' );

Be careful when setting your conditions to avoid seeing the dreaded ‘redirect loop’ error.

Also, the Template Tag Reference will help you. For instance, bp_is_register_page() will help you determine if the current page is the register page.

Hope this info helps.

Technically you’re on the wrong forum, you have no instance of BuddyPress running only bbPress and they are two different plugins.

You might try any of the Title tag plugins out there such as Yoast WP SEO also look at how your theme is handling the title tag in the header and search the WP codex for any guides on filtering the WP title tag to modify the title strings.

Hi,

the trouble seems to be that _bp_strip_spans_from_title() is declared by another plugin or a theme or a code in bp-custom.php or in a mu-plugin…

You should try to find the place were this function is already declared.

In the meantime you can create a bp-custom.php file at the root of /wp-content/plugins/ and use this gist in it to see if it solves the issue :

Cannot redeclare _bp_strip_spans_from_title() means generally that 2 functions with the same name are running at the same time.

This can came from a plugin or a theme.
For example BP is using bp_strip_spans_from_title, but if your theme use the same function, this provides a colision and you got a php fatal error.

Activate 2015 and see if the issue still occurs.

Meanwhile, I just updated all my BP installs (with different themes) without any errors.

Hi,

Usually, site name is defined during WP install and can be changed from within WP settings.

dashboard > general > site name

If it’s already done, see if your theme has a specific setting for such and change accordingly from there.

Hi @stsouk

Have you tried contacting the theme author to see if the theme can be made compatible? Perhaps they can issue an official fix if one is known?

Why would you uninstall BP and reinstall it, you even don’t know where the issue came from ?

Take a breath and stay calm. 😉

Activate Twenty Fifteen theme.
Deactivate all plugins except BP.

check for anything is correct. If it is, you can reactivate your plugins one by one, checking after each for an issue, untill you find eventually a culprit.

If all is correct, the only thing who may bring an issue at this stage is your theme.

Activate it and see the result. If you get the same issue, you should contact the theme support.

We cannot help you for this, as it is a premium theme and we have no free access to it’s code.

Please read also here, where some basics are explained.

Have you got these errors though with a standard WP theme and no additional plugins running? This is most likely an issue between theme or a plugin interacting with how BP performs and causing the issue/s; we could look and probably find some work around for the padding issue however the other issue is a problem with the @mentions interface and your SC is showing or displaying in the textarea an element attribute which shouldn’t display, why it is can only be guessed at at this stage – if this issue occurred when running one of the WP themes without any other plugins activated we could look further on the basis that it were a bug with BP, but I don’t think I can replicate this on any of my installs.

@svend-rugaard While it’s great of Henry to try and see what the issue is, please bear in mind there is a limit to the extent of help we can offer on what is a themeing issue with a third party theme and to some extent lies more with the theme to perhaps help out with.

Not from the screenshot. I’d need to view the source whilst logged in. Which theme are you using?

Hi @svend-rugaard

This looks like a CSS issue with your theme.

My guess is there is some sort of left padding on the text field.

Hi @jturet

There’s likely a plugin, theme or custom code snippet you have installed still using the deprecated function bp_core_delete_notifications_by_type(). The notice is telling you to use bp_notifications_delete_notifications_by_type() instead.
