BuddyPress.org

@mrjarbenne – Which theme are you using?
Have you tried it with the 2014 or 2015 theme?

Have you tried disabling all other plugins aside form bp to see if new comments create the same issue when those other plugins are disabled and you are using a default theme?

Why are the Register and Join Now buttons visible if you are logged in?
Usually these are only visible if you are not logged in.

Rather than use redirects, it’s better to control when the buttons are displayed.
You’ll need to edit the theme file that displays the buttons.

<?php if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
  html for buttons goes here
<?php endif; ?>

Hi there,

I am having this exact same problem, but nothing listed above seems to fix it.

After a fresh install of BuddyPress, with groups activated, and “Enable group creation for all users” checked in the settings page; I receive a 404 Error when clicking the “create group” button on either the groups page, or in the admin panel of WordPress. Is there something i’m missing? is the group creation page built into BuddyPress or do I need to create it? Nothing about creating this page is mentioned in the codex linked above.

I also tried deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress as well as changing my theme to the “twentyThirteen” theme but still no dice. I could really use some help with this.

Stats:
WordPress Version: 4.3
BuddyPress Version: 2.3.2.1
DynamiX Theme Version: 4.3.1

@shanebp, I am unable to get comments to show up in my activity feed.. I even set up a staging environment, running only Buddypress with 2015 theme…. Still no comments! 🙁

Creating a post adds a row to the activity table, but commenting on that post doesn’t do anything.. Any thoughts??

I have made sure that I have buddypress properly configured to track post comments, but it isn’t working on my live site, or the staging environment that is running default wordpress theme and only one plugin, Buddypress..

Your help is much appreciated

Do you use a custom function building a widget ?
if you used the old php4 method
parent::WP_Widget( false, $name = __( 'My widget' ) );

you should now use
parent::__construct( false, $name = __( 'My widget' ) );

This can also be in a theme or a plugin. BuddyPress use _construct method and is not concerned.

If you deactivate WP_DEBUG in wp-config, the notice will disapear. And it’s only a notice, nothing will sudenly stop to work.

Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use __construct()

Hi @muskokee,

Will be faster for me to give you a tutorial.

– Create a template file, call it testing.php and add it at the root of your child-theme.
This file should contain a template name in header comment and some minimal html and condition to get a sidebar and a footer. The example comes also with a BP action hook.

– The template file

<?php
/*
Template Name: Testing
*/
get_header(); ?>

	<div id="primary" class="site-content">
		<div id="content" role="main">
<?php if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
	
    echo'<h3>My test content title</h3>';
	do_action( my_testing);
			
}?>

		</div><!-- #content -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_sidebar( 'front' ); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

– Go to page dashboard, and create a new page. Call it Testing and asign in page attributes Testing as template. Save.

– Open bp-custom.php and copy/paste these functions.

First we setup the nav on profile with a sub-nav going to our test page.

function bpfr_post_profile_setup_nav() {
	global $bp;

	$parent_slug = 'testing';
	$child_slug = 'testing_sub';	
	
	bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
	'name' => __( 'Testing' ),
	'slug' => $parent_slug,
	'screen_function' => 'bpfr_profile_post_screen',
	'position' => 40,
	'default_subnav_slug' => $child_slug 
	) );
	
	//Add subnav item 	 
	bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( 
	'name' => __( 'My Testing' ), 
	'slug' => $child_slug, 
	
	// this slug goes to profile/name/
	//'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $parent_slug.'/',

	// this slug goes directly to a page
	'parent_url' => $bp->root_domain .'/'. $parent_slug .'/',
	'parent_slug' => $parent_slug, 
	'screen_function' => 'bpfr_profile_post_screen'
	) );
}

function bpfr_profile_post_screen() {	
	add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'bpfr_profile_post_screen_content' );
	bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
}

// we took the opportunity to add an action hook. Can be usefull...
function bpfr_profile_post_screen_content() {
	do_action( my_testing);
}

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_post_profile_setup_nav' );

– And because you’re testing, we’ll do a little test by inserting a text directly into the template.

function action_x() {
	echo 'Test lorem ipsum, i can read this !';
}
add_action( 'my_testing', 'action_x' );

Now you can read the snippet, add you’re own html, loops and hooks to the template file, or simply publish something on the page… Hope you’ll understand how this is working. Happy testing !

hi @muskokee
from where do you pick profile.php: bp-default or bp-legacy ?
Do you use other custom function in bp-custom.php or child-theme functions.php ?
What when BuddyPics and BP Follow are deactivated ?

BP’s registration template is in: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.3.2/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php

Copy it to your child-theme, /your-theme/buddypress/members/register.php, and make your change in that copy.

In some case, you could also use bp_get_template_part filter.

I am writing all these code in bp-functions.php in my bududdypress folder within my theme folder. (this may be my problem).

Yeah, it is probably the problem. Custom functions for BP can/should be added to bp-custom.php, which should sit in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php, not in your child theme buddypress folder.

Or into functions.php of your child-theme.

bp-custom.php explained on Codex.

Hi @ramuzic,

read the related ticket for more explanation from here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/warning-strstr-empty-needle/#post-239979

If the error is still in after changing to one of twenty theme, it’s possible you use a cache plugin containing some old files or your browser history is…very old. Clear it !

i am having this problem as well i have switched themes and still same thing i have read all the other topics on the net about this but it does not explain clear on how to fix this issue can anyone help

per_page option is availble for the message loop, like inbox (which is default), sentbox and notices where all received message are stored. This option let you paginat the result.

Now, the case of a long conversation. This start in the inbox, where you found it at page 1 or 12…
You click on the message and you see the content. This page is not concerned by the loop containing your per_page option. You can control that in the url.

If you read the code in the file i indicated you previously, you’ll see that there is no pagination system in it.

Message option can be set in bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\messages\message-loop.php

You need to copy this file into your child-theme first so you won’t loose your modification at next update. See codex if you need more infos about theming.

You can use the loop which is in groups-loop.php.

Try this and add some CSS class to your need to fit with your theme. code goes to bp-custom.php

function my_groups_avatar_on_profile() {

$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();

if ( bp_has_groups( 'type=alphabetical&user_id=' . $user_id ) ) : ?>

<div style="clear:both;">
	<ul>	
		<?php while ( bp_groups() ) : bp_the_group(); ?>	

			<li style="">
				<div>
					<a href="<?php bp_group_permalink() ?>"><?php bp_group_avatar_thumb() ?></a>
				</div>
			</li>
	
		<?php endwhile; 
endif; ?>

	</ul>
</div>
<?php
}
add_action ( 'bp_after_member_header', 'my_groups_avatar_on_profile' );

If you don’t see the problem with TwentyFifteen activated, the problem is likely to be theme-related and, One Community being a premium theme, none of us here can see the theme’s code. Try opening a support ticket on the theme’s support forum.

This could be theme-related. Which theme are you using?

There is no Notifications tab in wp-admin.

You don’t see that option on the front-end when you go to your profile > Messages > Compose ?
If not, try switching to a WP theme like 2015 to determine if there is an issue with your theme.

@sismis,

Howdy [username] is part of WordPress Toolbar. When BP is activated, it add a sub-menu to this menu.

If you want it elswhere, it’s not really possible as the BP part of it was written to go to the admin_bar only.

To get a similar menu, you simply add buddypress menu to your theme main menu (explained on above codex link). But this menu will be static and you cant get same details.

Another solution is to recode that menu, so you can add it with a filter function to wp_nav_menu, which handles the main menu or the header menu.

To do this, you can use a new Walker Class extention or the existing filter. Possibly also some other ways to do this, but i don’t know them.

To remove the Howdy menu and the attached BuddyPress Profile sub menu from the Toolbar, you can use this snippet (in functions.php or bp-custom.php):

function bpfr_remove_my_account_menu() {  
    global $wp_admin_bar;  
    $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('my-account');  
}  
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'bpfr_remove_my_account_menu' );

I would GUESS that you could edit that plugin to add in the code as mentioned above https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-users-can-link-to-their-profile/

Or ask the plugin author for clarification.

I stopped using that plugin when they added the extra security stuff for strong passwords that broke things for me.. however the plugin’s support page is pretty active, and given that he/she has options for redirecting users after login based on role – there may be an easy way to add such functionality to the plugin by asking the plugin author.

There is a bit of info with some of the functions here ->https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/members-navigation-menus/

I see others are asking about bp xprofile fields and such within the them my login support forum,
( wordpress.org/support/plugin/theme-my-login )
so hopefully this plugin author will add more and more BP options – I enjoyed using that plugin some time ago – hope it continues to mature.
