Why do I get this answer in my thread?
Theme’s don’t interfere with settings pages I’m afraid, You could try switching to the 2017 theme to test. Could you share a screenshot of the BuddyPress Settings page?, you should have four tabs, Components, Options, Pages and Credits. Do you have those?
>there is no way to deactivate it
So you deactivated the plugin via the plugins screen in wp-admin?
What makes you think BuddyPress is still running?
Using ftp or a file manager, you can always change the buddypress folder name in the plugins directory. And WP will deactivate the plugin.
If you still think it is running, then it is code from: some other plugin, your theme, some custom code that was added to your site.
thanks @venutius, just so folks are clear (it took me awhile to unravel how it works) the blog-author-profile-for-buddypress plugin creates a Widget you can place in a widget area – my theme has an ‘after post widget’ area
author widget pulls extended profile data fields. nice.
Hi, which BP Theme are you using? You can tell by looking in Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options.
Hi, everyone.
For some reason, disabling the connection component for friendship causes the profile editing front-end to lose functionality, including the Buddyboss theme, the one that loses the font (changing it to a more basic one) and the minimization features of the bubbypanel and the globalsearch. When I activate this component, everything returns to normal. The problem is that I need to disable that users can make friend requests.
If someone has had this problem, please tell me how you solved it.
Thank you.
Hello, I tried your code with adding it in functions.php of the theme and replacing in add_role ‘invited_members’ by the name of my custom role. But it doens’t work, the new invited stays subscriber.
Is it because is not an invite sent to a group but by mail ?
What is the variable $inviter ? the member wich send the invite or this one wich receive the invitation by mail ?
I don’t find the variable $invited_users in by-mail.php nor in your functions.php. Is it a Buddypress variable ?
I see in the file functions.php of your module in the $defaults_array : ‘minimum_role’ => ‘subscriber’.
What is it ? Is it the minimum role of member to be able to send an invitation ?
And an other question : when the new user has followed all the steps and go to the profile of wich had invited him, he cannot write on his wall or add medias, just read. Is it normal ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
Otherwhise, your plugin works fine !
Hello,
Just installed BP and really like it, but I have a small problem.
My site uses a plugin what imports content from other sites, it also imports comments.
Now since buddypress activated all the imported comment authors changed to the wp admin user.
If I check the comments on the backend it shows the original (imported) usernames, but on the frontpage it all changes to admin. If I deactivate BP the problem dissappears.
WP:5.1.1
BP:4.2.0
Theme:Bimber
I tryed searching the plugin code to find what exactly overwrites the author but no luck, tried to turn on/off all default wp “disscussion” settings, BP settings but no luck.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks.
No yu’d put this either in your child-themes functions.php or in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php, looking at the code it should work.
Hi there,
Yes emails can be difficult to diagnose because sometimes they are sent but not accepted by the destination email host.
The first thing to do is to deactivate all plugins and see if that corrected it.
IF that fails, try switching to a default theme such as 2017.
Next thing to try is reinstall your BP Emails in Admin>>Tools>>BuddyPress.
If they are still not being sent then you need to turn on WP-DEBUG and see if there are any errors being produced.
If they are still not being sent, then deactivate BuddyPress and see if the standard WordPress emails are being sent.
Some people have got to this point and fixed it by installing an alternative WP Email engine, as it was down to their hosting provider not allowing the WordPress emails through.
Hello! Thank you! I would want that the role of user to be shown on the cover of the page.
or you want to say that it does and my theme does not interpret it? Can i put this in the header.php?
Presumably it’s your theme that is causing that. One way to hide the search bar would be via CSS. you could try adding the following to your custom css in customizer:
div.dir-search.activity-search.bp-search {
display: none;
}
I have everything set up and my login page works and redirects just fine. However, the register page does not. I will not allow me create a new user account form the front end. Once user puts in information, and clicks Sign up nothing happens. What is the cause of this. It’s not the theme because it was doing this with the Forefront theme as well. Please advise.
Thank You
One last thing to try, it probably won’t work, but when I tested it I put the autocomplete definition in the child-themes functions.php as opposed to the bp-custom, you could try that?
Nouveau autocomplete is different to legacy autocomplete in that it does not filter for friends only. This seems to confirm that BP is simply not seeing your autocomplete setting as you suspect.
Ok, so I can confirm that I am not getting any errors in the JS Console or in WP-DEBUG.
But you are right about BP Nouveau. When I enable this template pack on the Twenty Sixteen theme, the auto-fill name suggestions works perfectly for all users, even with friends connection disabled. But note, it is working even without using AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL in the bp-custom.php file.
What could this mean?
Thank you for all the help and tips @Venutius really appreciate it.
I’ve not been able to replicate your issue – all group activity is retained within the group of origination. Have you tried deactivating your other plugins to see if it’s caused by a conflict? But the way, clicking the loading new posts indicator should not do anything, it’s for information only and there’s no actions hooked against it. Which BP Theme are you using, Legacy or Nouveau?
Another thing to try would be the BP Nouveau theme, this works differently for getting the autofil for user names and if it works could give some clues.
Which BP Theme are you using ( Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options ) then I can be more accurate in my testing.
Hi @Venutius thank you for your reply.
I put the below code into wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php. I also enabled the default WP 2016 theme, and tried disabling all my plugins except BP. The autocomplete is still not showing up when friends connection is disabled.
When I have friends connection enabled, the autocomplete works to show a list of Friends only.
I’m not sure why this is not working. Does the AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL still work in BuddyPress 4.2?
define( 'BP_MESSAGES_AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL', true );
Can you look in Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options and let me know which BP Theme you are using?

This is what WordPress support say:
Here is the lik you need:
It may be an issue with your theme not including that feature. I would maybe contact BuddyPress with that link to the forum post and ask them to clarify the exact issue.
Unfortunately, that does not work either. I’m not sure what is going on. If its the theme itself being stubborn, or if this one spot is being really picky.
Thanks for the reply. As I mentioned, I tested with another theme already so that was not the issue. I also had a couple of browsers open; one I was logged into and one I was not.
For whatever reason, it does seem to be showing all the buttons properly now.
Of note, in Chrome where I am logged in as an Admin, I can see variously:
- Request Sent
- Request Membership
- Leave Group
- Request Membership
- Request Membership
So it does seem to be showing the buttons for each of my 5 groups.
We aren’t logged in, so we cannot see or not see, the buttons.
If you created the group – you will not see the button because you are already a member.
Trying logging in as a Subscriber who does not belong to any groups and check for the buttons.
To rule out a theme issue, try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2019 and check for the buttons.
If you are good with html, css and php, you can overload BP themes and make changes.
afaik, you can do the same with bbPress templates for forums, but you should ask on their support forums.
