BuddyPress.org

This might be due to a plugin you have activated or perhaps even the theme you’re using. Try disabling all plugins and reverting to Twenty Fifteen. Does the search return offline users now?

You mentioned you’re using a customised theme. Can you check if you still see the problem when using Twenty Fifteen?

You don’t really need to be looking at that codex page, this ought to be a simple overload of templates, i.e copy register, from BP to your theme and edit as required. If you start to work with the extended advanced hierarchy templates you have to create full standalone templates i.e each must contain header and footer includes (hence why you appear to have lost styling, no head element for your document).

2.) Then when altering configuration (i.e. adding add_filter( ‘bp_email_use_wp_mail’, ‘__return_true’ ); to BP_Custom), and testing again, the emails output a combination of WP Better Email and the default template with various CSS Styles altering different parts of the email with each new email sent.

BTW, this is exactly what I expect to happen. The content from the plain text version of the email from BuddyPress into the template provided by, in this case, WP Better Email.

If you’re saying extra CSS is getting involved, I strongly suspect you have some other plugin or theme component adding extra junk.

That would be buddypress/members/index-register.php. See the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy article for more details.

Hi

you can use this snippet from within bp-custom.php to change the default year range in the profile field datepicker (1902 – 2035). In the example, you will get 1950 – 2020

function custom_bp_datebox($html, $type, $day, $month, $year, $field_id, $date) {      
    if($type == 'year'){
   
        $html = '<option value=""' . selected( $year, '', false ) . '>----</option>';
 
        for ( $i = 2020; $i > 1949; $i-- ) {
                $html .= '<option value="' . $i .'"' . selected( $year, $i, false ) . '>' . $i . '</option>';
        }
    }
    return $html;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_datebox', 'custom_bp_datebox',10,7);

Tested with BP 2.5 and a third party theme. Hope it helps you. 😉

Hello,

I agree having more betatesters would be fine but sometimes it’s difficult when you just manage only one Buddypress site.

I’m having the same problem, the activation mail is not being sent since I updated. I have activated full debug mode (E_ALL and Display_errors) but nothing shows in the error log.

Besides, I had overriden the normal activation mail in my child’s theme’ functions.php. After it stopped working I did a grep and saw the function I was trying to use was in the v2.5 deprecated list, so I commented out all the overriding code.

I’m using the Easy WP SMTP plugin, the sender mails are good ones both in the plugin and the main WordPress configuration, and it can receive mails.

Is there a private method to provide a user/pw?

There is no PMing for this site.

But Dan has confirmed the issue with WP 2015, so it will be looked at.

Perhaps you could confirm that it does not occur with another WP theme, maybe try 2013?
And state which theme you are using?

Replace in your child-theme css file

input.input {
    width: 300px;
}

by

input.input {
    width: 200px;
}

The css tag ID #aw-whats-new-submit may exist, but if your theme use some specific height or width for it which is different from what is used by BP in the js/css file, you didn’t see the button.

This is a very common theme issue, handled on many topics on this forum.

@tonyxs1 logically in the template. The what’s new form is used on activity, profile and group page.

You’ll certainly find some good information from these one or other search results:

@djpaul,

i tried to reproduce and got same result as @gretchenlouise with one of WP theme.

2016 = correct result (url /forums/search/word_to_search/)
2015 = wrong result (url /forums/search/word_to_search/) i got the latest post…
2014 = correct result (url /forums/search/word_to_search/)
2013 = correct result (url /forums/search/word_to_search/)
3rd party theme graphene = correct result

Apparently 2015 doesn’t organize search like the other themes and/or ignore bbPress…

Have a nice week-end.

Hi @jersey-peeps,

i’m using wp-better-emails on a multisite BP install (lastest version) without any trouble. I changed the “from” field within this plugin admin.

On a single WP install (lastest version), i use this from within child-theme’s functions.php
So if you uninstalled better_emails, you could try these snippets.

//notification mail email change
add_filter('wp_mail_from','custom_email_from');
function custom_email_from($mail) {
	$mail = 'your@mail.name'; // Replace the email address here //
	return $mail;
}

//notification name change; optional
add_filter('wp_mail_from_name','custom_email_from_name');
function custom_email_from_name($name) {
	$name = get_bloginfo('YOUR SITE NAME');//put your own text here
	return $name;
}

In hope it helps you. 😉

@airsid

IF your translation file is up to date (have you re-downloaded the files to check?), those strings should be getting translated.

Otherwise, another option is to edit the email template. Copy buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/assets/emails/single-bp-email.php into your theme and make whatever changes you want.
