BuddyPress.org

1. You can disable all plugins except BuddyPress change your WordPress to the default theme and see if the issue persists or not.

2. You can check if you add any custom code on the bp-custom.php or functions.php file inside the theme folder. If you have that custom code, you can remove it and see if it fixes the error or not.

It sounds like you’ve done a lot of the right things already. Here are a few additional steps you might try:

Check for Conflicting Plugins: Ensure no other plugins are overriding BuddyPress translations.
Clear Caches: Clear any caches that might be affecting the translation display.
Verify Translation File: Double-check that the .po file has the correct translation for “Name” and is properly saved.
Theme Conflict: Make sure your theme isn’t overriding the BuddyPress translations.
If the issue persists, you might want to reach out to the BuddyPress support community for more specific advice.

Hi,

You may try disable all non BuddyPress plugin and change your WP theme to default theme for temporary.

Check site to see if issue still exists. If issue goes away after deactivating other plugins and switching theme then this means that either the theme or one of the plugins was conflicting with BuddyPress. If it turns out to be a plugin/theme conflict, then you need to activate the plugins/theme one by one until you find the plugin/theme that causes the issue to come back.

If the issue still exists then it is not a plugin or theme conflict. And do these things

1. If you have a custom code in bp-custom.php, please remove it for temporary
2. Make sure to use the latest version of BuddyPress
3. Check your PHP version, and upgrade it to minimum 7.4 version.

PS: Backup your website first before do those steps!

Hi,
Which Theme are you using i think this is the theme option. please check the theme option.

Hi there!

Reign BuddyPress Theme I think this theme is helpful for you.

Building a site with BuddyPress and the Divi Theme is definitely doable, but there are some compatibility considerations to keep in mind. The Divi Theme Builder is highly versatile, but its compatibility with BuddyPress depends on how BuddyPress structures its pages.

Key Points:

Post Type Compatibility: As the Elegant Themes team mentioned, if BuddyPress uses the default WordPress post type for its pages, you should be able to edit them using the Divi Builder without any issues. BuddyPress typically generates pages using custom post types for specific content like user profiles, activity feeds, etc.

Custom Templates: You might need to create custom templates for BuddyPress pages. Divi allows for a lot of customization, so you can design layouts that suit your needs. However, the integration may require some manual tweaking to ensure everything displays correctly.

Third-Party Plugins: There are third-party plugins that help bridge the gap between BuddyPress and Divi, making it easier to customize BuddyPress pages with the Divi Builder. You might want to explore these if you encounter limitations.

Testing: It would be a good idea to set up a test environment where you can experiment with how BuddyPress and Divi work together, especially when it comes to customizing profile pages and other BuddyPress-specific content.

If anyone in the community has experience with this setup, it would be great to hear your thoughts and any challenges you encountered!

I think best practice really depends on your target audience and what features they may expect or desire from their profile.

One of that main profile customisation features provided in BuddyPress is the ability to “overload”, a profile template file, replacing it with your own customised version. This is a simple way to add your own features to the profile pages.

However, overloading a page means any updates to it in future by BuddyPress would need to be manually added to your overloaded page, so this method, although simple, is not the only way to add custom features to profile pages.

If you look in the plugins/buddypress/templates directory, and investigate the templates in, for example bp-nouveau, then you can see there are a lot of action hooks you could use to add further content in specific locations in each page.

This second method allows you to keep the BP provided templates unchanged, but still add the content required.

The most configurable profile I ever created was for a social networking community that wanted the user to effectively create their own theme for their profile pages. So I built the following additional plugins for the site:

1. a theme specific plugin that allowed the user to fully customise their profile colour scheme.
2. A custom header plugin that allowed the user to select their own header image.
3. Similarly, a custom background plugin.
4. My profile home and sidebar user widgets plugins to allow the user to add their own content into their profile pages.
5. Menu customisations to bring all these customisation options into a single location, and remove/simplify them in other places.
6. Integration with the overall blogging platform – providing the user with areas where they can showcase their own blogs, and also allow them a variety of options as to who those blogs are shown to.

Those are just a few main examples as to the possibilities, but most of them do require some form of coding.

For anyone that landed here from a Google search. The pagination is not working for forums set up inside BuddyPress groups. You need to copy those two files from
\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress
pagination-topics.php
pagination-replies.php

and copy them to
\wp-content\themes\[yourchildtheme]\bbpress

Replace the code inside pagination-topics.php to:

<?php

/**
 * Pagination for pages of topics (when viewing a forum)
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

do_action( 'bbp_template_before_pagination_loop' );

// Use bbPress setting for topics per page
$posts_per_page = bbp_get_topics_per_page();  // Dynamically get the value from bbPress settings

// Get the current page
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? absint(get_query_var('paged')) : 1;

// Set up the custom query
$args = array(
    'post_type'      => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
    'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
    'paged'          => $paged,
    'meta_query'     => array(
        array(
            'key'   => '_bbp_forum_id',
            'value' => bbp_get_forum_id(),
        ),
    ),
);

// Run the custom query
$forum_query = new WP_Query($args);

if ($forum_query->have_posts()) :
?>
    <div class="bbp-pagination">
        <div class="bbp-pagination-count">
            <?php
            // Display the range of topics being viewed
            $start = ($paged - 1) * $posts_per_page + 1;
            $end = min($paged * $posts_per_page, $forum_query->found_posts);
            echo sprintf(__('Viewing %1$s to %2$s (of %3$s topics)'), $start, $end, $forum_query->found_posts);
            ?>
        </div>
        <div class="bbp-pagination-links">
            <?php
            // Generate the pagination links
            echo paginate_links(array(
                'total'   => $forum_query->max_num_pages,
                'current' => $paged,
                'format'  => '?paged=%#%',
                'add_args' => false,
                'prev_text' => __('« Prev'),
                'next_text' => __('Next »'),
            ));
            ?>
        </div>
    </div>
<?php
else :
    echo '<p>No topics found.</p>';
endif;

// Reset post data
wp_reset_postdata();

do_action('bbp_template_after_pagination_loop');

Replace the code inside pagination-replies.php to:

// Get the current page
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? absint(get_query_var('paged')) : 1;

// Set up the custom query
$args = array(
    'post_type'      => bbp_get_reply_post_type(),

    'paged'          => $paged,
    'meta_query'     => array(
        array(
            'key'   => '_bbp_topic_id',
            'value' => bbp_get_topic_id(),
        ),
    ),
);

// Run the custom query
$replies_query = new WP_Query($args);

if ($replies_query->have_posts()) :

Then, resave your permalinks.

Hello @thesupercargo

By the nature of the scenario, there is a chance it’s an isolated scenario that is present in your environment. To get the root, if possible check by yourself by mentioning those mention who are not getting the link. As you mentioned there doesn’t seem to be a pattern, I believe you have done that already and you made sure that there aren’t any spaces, and such a scenario.

Now, you can check theme/plugin conflicts. Although there is a very low chance that there would be conflicts still. To do that, you can try this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/ Also please consider checking WP-Admin->Settings-> Discussion to see where there is any moderation for those users.

If the above are all good, consider checking whether there is any location or any other restrictions from the server side. I haven’t faced such a scenario as well, that’s why, I am curious as well to know what exactly is root cause.

Hello BP-developers,

I also want to thank you for maintaining and developing Buddypress!
We have been using it for almost 10 years and never had issues when updating to a new version.

Passing to 14.0.0 was different. Thanks for the BP Classic that fixes many issues for us but as Lars we still cannot have the translation working yet.

We used to use the buddypress-fr_FR.mo file to change the by default translation of “groupe” (French word for group) in “Expé” for expédition on our site. But changing the buddypress-fr_FR and re-uploading to wp-content/languages/plugins as we were used to do at each update, does not seem to work.

Here is a link to our website with both public and registered users : where the blue button close to the title should be “Créer une Expé” instead of “Créer un groupe” and the other blue buttons next to each group “Rejoindre l’Expé” instead of “Rejoindre le groupe”.

Thanks for your help.

check for a bp-custom.php file in your plugins directory, and check if you have anything in the themes functions.php file.

If you don’t get the issue with astra, then it’s not an issue with BuddyPress, it’s Elementor that is the issue. That’s the reason why we ask you to try with another theme.
