BuddyPress.org

This is already the default behavior. Here is the code that fires a email when someone request to add someone as a friend: https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/d44e81fd40e4e9e48fc599836d311cf2752f9f34/src/bp-friends/bp-friends-functions.php#L858

I’d recommend you to confirm if something is disabling that. Maybe the emails are not set up correctly or a theme or plugin is avoiding that to happen. Could be anything.

This needs more investigation.

This looks to be theme related, have you contacted the author? Would also need to know the theme name if you wanted somewhere here to have a look assuming it is free.
Regards

Hey,
If you assume it is one of your plugins or theme have you tried using one of the default themes or disabling plugins, and if that fixes re-enabling one by one?

If that doesn’t work you may need to supply more information as specified in https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

@hochingj Replying to your comment:

With as much as @buddyboss depends on buddypress and with how much they charge, I sure hope they are doing the ethical thing and donating to the buddypress group that they are profiting off of.

I think there is some misunderstandings here. First it is important to know that the BuddyBoss Platform is 100% free and open source. We do not charge for it, you can download it and develop on it for free right now. We are providing a feature rich and actively maintained plugin and we are funding all of the development and documentation for it out of pocket, and not charging anything for it. We did this because our business previously did depend on BuddyPress and our customers didn’t like what BuddyPress was offering, and we believed we could provide a better solution that met our customer’s needs, and so that is exactly what we did.

Our solution is open source just like BuddyPress, and we will open it up to contributors on Github shortly. If you want to contribute to our platform we will welcome you with open arms. Our only goal is to provide a great service to our customers, and our features are driven entirely by customer feedback.

We are profiting only on our theme, whose code is not pulling from anything created by the BuddyPress community. We no longer depend on BuddyPress to any extent for our new products so there is nothing for us to contribute to. We are contributing to the actual users of BuddyPress, by giving away a free version of BuddyPress that is more feature rich and developed at a faster pace, and is backwards compatible to BuddyPress, but not dependent on BuddyPress for its current and future development.

If you fast forward to a year from now our plugin will be very different from BuddyPress, even more so than it already is. The differences are big enough that it would have made little sense to try to do this through BuddyPress. We cannot depend on others to do what our customer base is asking us for. We need to move really fast, and BuddyPress moves really slow, and is actively adverse to growing its feature set too large. But our customers do not want a streamlined plugin, they do not want to depend on other plugins. They want all of the community features out of the box and integrated with each other, and as much as possible, they want that right now. We need the ability to take common requests and build solutions to those requests, without having to ask permission to someone else first. This is what our customers want from us and our obligation is to our customers above all else.

Hello all – I’d like to agree with the quote below from @johnjamesjacoby

I believe BuddyPress is, still to this day, the single most important piece of software on the open web. It empowers anyone to foster free and open dialogue with the privacy and freedom of having their own website on their own hardware, while also being powerful enough to scale up and grow as a community of people garners momentum. And it empowers people like the folks at BuddyBoss to grow even beyond BuddyPress itself.

@buddyboss – Any cool improvements that can be ported back to buddypress would be appreciated I’m sure (^_^)

@coolhunt – yes there are issues I agree, its not been easy and I refer you to the quote above from @johnjamesjacoby | lol @ below, funee and looks like we are in the same boat together!

Does anyone have a good simple beautiful free theme that just works for BP.
Im using 2020 on a project and its horrible…
please please help obiwan save us

@sbrajesh – BuddyDev website is very nice, good work.

No-on active in the IRC channel? Some other communities I follow have nice integrations with IRC and Slack.

I’d love to contribute any way that I can and have registered to show my support for “the single most important piece of software on the open web”

Great work, thank you

Hi,

I have this in the theme functions.php :

function noindex_buddypress() {
    if ( is_buddyPress() ) {
        echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">';
    } else {
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'noindex_buddypress' );

Hi @coolhunt,
Thank you.

I am sorry but I won’t be able to provide a preview currently. For the 2nd theme onwards, we can do an early preview.

Thank you
Brajesh

I stand by what I said.

@buddyboss makes great themes and products but its premium.
— as great as the free plugin is.. –a site administrator will benefit great by implement the buddyboss premium theme.

Dare I say that — the free plugin looses its appeal without the utilization of a premium theme.

I personally love the “Boss.” theme ($129USD) and the “OneSocial” theme($99USD). — Though I havent used them in the past 2 years – I suspect they are still of great quality. I also havent used the “BuddyBoss Theme” (Which starts at $228USD)

The new Buddyboss Theme looks a lot like FB and seems like a great option for someone that wants a great looking turnkey solution.

The BuddyBoss Platform plugin is free.
Their themes and support for the Platform are not free.

Go here to get the free plugin – scroll down to
“Download the free BuddyBoss Platform Plugin”

@wfdeanb
If you want something turnkey.. i’d go with @buddyboss https://www.buddyboss.com/online-community-software/

– its pretty fast to get started
– it works out of the box
– its literally the fastest and easiest way to get what you described (there theme even looks like FB)
– premium (not free)

(disclaimer: I dont work for buddyboss nor am i an affiliate)
