BuddyPress.org

I activated the twentythirteen theme and uploaded the edited register.php file here:

/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/buddypress/members/register.php

I double checked to make sure that the register.php file I uploaded was from:

\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\register.php

… and also that my challenge question code was included. It’s inserted at line 51 of the file as follows:

<!-- Test question -->
<label for="signup_test">Challenge question? <?php _e( '(required)', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>
<?php do_action( 'bp_signup_test_errors' ); ?>
<input type="text" name="signup_test" id="signup_test" value="" />

After clearing any caching plugins, the challenge question DID NOT appear on the signup form while the twentythirteen theme was active. I have reverted back to the blackfyre template for now.

Any thoughts?

Thank you for the reply. Just so you know, I am an experienced PHP coder, but I’m quite unfamiliar with the WP and Buddypress plugin API, which is why I was adding the challenge question manually right in the PHP files before. So I’m not sure where I would put the bp_signup_validate code you linked. Some specific file?

I copied my edited register.php (with the challenge question) to the following folder of the theme we’re using:

/wp-content/themes/blackfyre/buddypress/members/

There was no file named register.php in this directory previously.

After clearing any caching plugins, the signup form still only displays the default questions. You can see it here: http://realmsunchained.com/user-registration/

There should be an additional field under the “Confirm Password” field. Before Buddypress 2.4.x just editing the files I mentioned in the OP caused instant changes to this page. Now the registration form seems to be drawing its code from somewhere completely different.

Am I going wrong somewhere?

PS. The theme in question (Gonzo) doesn’t officially support BuddyPress, so I just removed the line breaks from the buttons via CSS. Case closed, at least for now. 🙂

Thanks for the reply! I set up a test site and discovered that it’s my WP theme that’s causing the line breaks. (No clue how to solve it though, gonna ask WP support and the theme creator for help.)

So this is not a BuddyPress issue.

@Mark … I tested it with Twenty Fifteen WordPress Standard Theme and the problem happens. Then it is not properly a theme problem

I use the woothemes Canvas Theme release 5.9.3 and 5.9.15 (the latest).

To make work properly rtmedia was necessary add a fixing in the child theme functions.php and it worked properly:

// BuddyPress - Fixing for rtMedia
function rtmedia_main_template_include($template, $new_rt_template) { 
	global $wp_query; 
	$wp_query->is_singular = true; 
	return get_page_template(); 
} 
add_filter('rtmedia_main_template_include', 'rtmedia_main_template_include', 20, 2);

In any case, if with the standard wordpress theme the problem happens and then it could not be a theme problem, then rtmedia could have some conflict with another module.

Anyway, I will open an account on the rtmedia website and i will open a ticket, adding screenshots of the problem.

Kind regards

re: your suggestions..

Turn on wp-debug and then check error logs. < I believe I did this by editing the Wpconfig.php file.. but the debug.log shows file size of zero .. so maybe I did that wrong.

— — // Enable WP_DEBUG mode
— — define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

— — // Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
— — define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);

— — // Disable display of errors and warnings
— — define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false);
— — @ini_set(‘display_errors’,0);

— — // Use dev versions of core JS and CSS files
— — // (only needed if you are modifying these core files)
— — define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);

— — /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

Deactivate bbPress and all related plugins. ~ as indicated in my post, did this in several different ways to totally and entirely isolate buddypress as the problem plugin.

Test with ONLY a WP theme like 2013 and BP ~ perhaps I wasn’t clear, but did this too.. same problem.

—- —- interesting new note —- —-

Since the folks at GoDaddy did their memory maximization steps, the error messages have stopped.. but I remembered that when the WP-Admin/Dashboard screen goes white, the site doesn’t. so I added buddypress back in, activated, got the WP-Admin white screen and see that the forums are back up and the user icons are too. so I can’t tweak the interface from the dashboard, but functionality is working slightly.

I copied the files that are located in bp-legacy/buddypress/groups to MyTheme/buddypress/groups. Hmmmm, I will have to look into that Hugo. So that would be why you never see get_header or get_footer, etc. in any buddypress templates. That makes a hell of a lot more sense!

Hi,
– WordPress 4.4 – Upgraded from the previous release
– BuddyPress 2.4.3 – Upgraded from the previous release
– No customization in buddypress core
–

I have added a new post where I explained all the things in a better way, giving all the details about wordpress, buddypress and the plugins. But I added it 2 times but in both cases it was not published, I don’t know why.

In practice is the Filtering that is not working for any user that is not admin. My admin account works properly.

Another thing that happens is that keeping the Activity Stream page opened, the bar that says “Load Newest” appear also if there is no new post in the stream.

I tested using the default WordPress Theme Tweenty Fifteen but the problem happens also there.

About the theme used. It is Woothemes Canvas 5.9.3 and 5.9.15 . Never had problems with these themes using BuddyPress.

The only customization that I did for BuddyPress are just CSS tags and when I upgraded to the new wordpress release and to the buddypress latest release, everything worked properly between buddypress, wordpress and the theme.

About the plugins, I didn’t changed them until now. I will make a test deactivating some plugins.

What is the reason that make you think that can be a plugin?

Kind regards.

I really should not have posted before testing. However I copied pasted the BuddyPress Template for index.php to my theme and It comes up as a blank page. Any ideas why this would happen?

Okay because I was looking at bp-core-template-loader. I saw the many functions such as bp_register_template_stack and bp_get_template_stack. From the description of the function in the comments I infer these functions allow me to say “instead of bp-legacy use these folders instead”. Is there a way to get BuddyPress to use the files at my-theme/buddypress/groups instead?

Also is index.php the page that shows lists of groups or the groups profile page?

@mercime … unfortunately its still not centered .. I added the new CSS
body.register #buddypress {
width: 90%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
} to my child theme’s style.css

I have also set the my register page to full width

http://52.70.236.130/register/ is still not centered
