You are the best!
Thanks!!
I’m still sorta using both themes via a child-theme for legacy hacks.
I did not realize you would have to buy Eduma to test this. I would think that WordPress would have a program where plug-in developers have access to some kind of test accounts or something, where they can quickly spin up a site with specific themes or plugins, specifically for this type of issue.
Regardless, the people at Eduma went ahead and did the debugging for me. Here is the response I got from Huyen last night…
Dear jbonifacejr,
I’m so sorry.
I tried to deactivated all plugins on your site to check it.
And BuddyPress plugin is the reason why this issue came.
Best regards,
Huyen Anh
Hi there, What BP Theme are you using? For BP Legacy you could get around this with the following code:
function bpex_password_validate() {
if ( isset( $_POST['signup_password'] ) ) {
$_POST['signup_password_confirm'] = $_POST['signup_password'];
}
}
add_action( 'bp_signup_pre_validate', 'bpex_password_validate' );
So it’s the activity not posting that’s the issue not the filters. I think in the first instance I’d deactivate all other plugins, switch to a default theme such as 2017 and add another user, see if that shows up in activity. I’d also check if you’ve set up any filters for the activity loop that might exclude that content.
For new posts and comments you’d need to check that site tracking was enabled in the BuddyPress Component settings.
> … then why would BuddyPress not be the issue?
I’m saying that it is unlikely – not impossible.
Remember that plugins usually include hooks that other code or plugins or themes can use to inject code, behaviours etc.
So BP may be the issue. Or the issue may only manifest with BP.
As I said, I’ve never seen this issue before.
I’m not going to buy the Eduma theme so I can test with it.
You are not my customer. You are a person having an issue with an open source codebase.
I am a volunteer and curious about your issue and willing to make suggestions about narrowing down the cause in the hope of clearing identifying a bug.
Since you do not want to proceed, I wish you all the best with your project.
If I de-activate BuddyPress, then everything is fine. If this is the case, then why would BuddyPress not be the issue? If it is your determination that BuddyPress is having an issue with some other plug-in, then why would you be asking me, your customer, to debug this for you. I would think that you would want to spin up a quick test site, apply the Eduma theme, and then debug the issue from your end.
I’ll just leave this and not worry about it. If other customers run into the same problem, or if that problem starts to spread into other areas, then maybe enough angry customers will draw the attention to get this fixed. I’m not going to debug this for you.
Hello, I am trying again here since no one got back to me.
I cannot get buddy press to email the activation email upon registration!
I have tried deactivating all plugins.. no difference.
Event Manager and WP SMTP Mail both had no problem sending me test emails.
I tried activating a different theme.. Theme Seventeen as suggested. No difference.
I have even tried adding the code I found through out other people’s support questions around the same issue. None are making any difference. Adding WP SMPT Mail. No difference.
I am not a programmer so I could really use some guidance, if you need me to pay to get an answer I will. I NEED HELP.
Thank you
Bizarre… I’ve never seen a similar report.
You’ll need to take some big swings at this.
Try deactivating everything but BuddyPress and use a WP theme like 2019.
Then start activating plugins one at a time and testing for the issue.
I just switched the theme to 2019. The issue is still present. If I go to a lesson, and edit the comments in the lesson, the comments type in reverse, just as I described above.
I am not using any kind of translation plugin. Everything that is on the site is straight out of the box. I have not changed anything, other than the login using Captcha, but that change was made after this bug was reported.
Are you suggesting that I can switch to a different theme, but still access the LMS, and see if the comments issue still reproduces?
When I make that switch, what will happen to all the content and configurations (namely Captcha and changes to images or text) I have made in my current theme, as well as my Captcha, and WooCommerce stuff? When I switch back, will everything just magically work exactly the same as it does now, or will there potentially be corruption of assets in the DBs?
That url is Not Found.
To rule out a theme issue – did you try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2019?
Are you using any translation plugins? Try turning them off.
NOTE ** This happens in /wp-admin mode, not when using the regular front end of the website. **
When adding a lesson, or updating, if you try to add comments to the lesson, they are written in reverse. So, if you typed “adding comments does not work”, it will show up as “krow ton seod stnemmoc gnidda”.
I have a video of the issue in action, but you don’t seem to have the functionality for me to upload that with my post here.
I am using WordPress 5.2, the Eduma theme version 4.02, and Version 4.3.0 of BuddyPress. I don’t have any messages indicating I need to update BuddyPress or WordPress or Eduma.
Repro Steps:
Log into the site /wp-admin
Go to the LearnPress menu item
Click on Lessons – NOT Courses … Lessons
Click on a lesson
Scroll down to the Add comment button and click the button
Now try to add a comment
I just did it again and it is broken
Welcome
Forgot to add that I tried the WP 2017 theme and same issue. It is every BP-compatible theme, works in live preview, does not work when published to site
Got a screenshot?
I’ve deactivate all other plugins, switch to the 2017 theme and retest.
In the extended profile fields, I’ve created a field that automatically pulls in data using the process described further below. This field is required and is located in the Base (Primary) group of profile fields.
The issue I’ve run into is that I’ve configured the field to be visible to “Only Me” and have selected the option to Enforce field visibility, but when I look at the public-facing profile page, this field is still visible to any other logged in user, regardless of role. (I have confirmed this by logging in with a subscriber level account and viewing the profile page.)
The profile fields data import process:
I am using the NADI plugin (https://active-directory-wp.com/) to automatically create and sync users and user data from company Active Directory database. This plugin has an add-on tool that will subsequently sync selected data from the user WordPress profile over to the BuddyPress profile.
Troubleshooting steps I’ve already completed:
1. I’ve deactivated all plugins other than BuddyPress; the “Only Me” profile is still visible on the public-facing user profile page for any logged in user. It doesn’t appear to be caused by a plugin conflict.
2. I’ve changed to a default WordPress bundled theme; again, the “Only Me” profile is still visible on the public-facing user profile page for any logged in user. It doesn’t appear to be caused by a theme conflict.
WP Version: 5.2
BP Version: 4.3.0
NADI Plugin Version: 2.1.9 (Up to date)
NADI Add-on Version: 1.0.4 (Up to date)
I hope I’ve provided enough information. I’m struggling to determine why this profile field that should only be visible to the person who is logged in and no else is visible to every user. I also hope someone here might have a suggestion or recommendation for what I might try next.
Thanks.
I used to be able to find themes for Buddypress quick and easy. Now I’m having trouble finding anything. Where can I find a decent, free theme?
Thank you!
What happens when you use a WP theme like 2019?
If your issues are specific to certain themes, then you should contact the creator of those themes.
Those icons are not part of BuddyPress, afaik.
They are part of your theme or some other plugin.
Find out where they are coming from and either replace them on your own or discuss it with the icon creators.
I have my website through a hosting company. Latest version of WordPress and Buddypress. When I preview a theme, Profile works fine. When I accept and publish, profile shows up as a blank page with just the word profile and an edit link.
Groups seem to also work in preview mode. Once published I cannot create a new one with forum, step 3 takes me to the forum list and does not proceed. Attempting to enter a group forum does not allow me in, I end up on the main forum page..
My install of WP is fairly new, Jan 2019. I have tried disabling every plugin except bbpress and buddypress. Uninstalled and reinstalled Buddypress. I am running no redirects of any kind. Anyone out there experienced this and found a fix they could share?
For whatever reason it’s working now. Not sure why. All my plugins are activated and the theme is the same. Thank you for all your help troubleshooting. Sometimes I think I just need to step away, restart my computer and try another day. Sorry I have no explanation and thanks again for the help.
Dear Buddypress Folks,
I am using WP (5.1.1, Buddypress 4.3.3, php 7.0, KLEO newest release)
My registration page (with or without the kleo_register shortcode does not load properly). It says there are too many redirects or it redirects to the home page. It also says it might be because of rejected cookies.
It was working properly previously. It might have gone wrong with the latest updates (kleo, buddypress or wp). I did the wp update to 5.1 recently. That was the last update I did.
But I do have a staging site where everything works properly. Same php, same wp, same bp, same kleo running.
So I wonder can it be really something with the cookies?
Here is the login page on staging site: https://tesztoldal.vegarandi.hu/regisztracio/
Here is the login page on the live site: Site URL: https://vegarandi.hu/regisztracio
I have created a new reg page, it does load now in Firefox. And when I hit the registration button, it gets into the redirect loop again. Also, I had a registration form with extended options, so users can accept terms an condition, I need their age etc. This extended form does not load either on the live site.
What I have done:
– refresh permalinks
– checked if anyone can register
– turned to basic WP theme
– turned of firewall, caching plugin
– created new reg page
– cleaned browser cache, tried different browsers
I am running out of ideas.
Please help me out!

Hi @iamdev,
You can put that code into your theme/functions.php :
function change_export_plugins_names( $export , $name ) {
$name = str_replace(
Array( 'Value_1_before',
'Value_2_before',
'Value_3_before' ),
Array( 'Value_1_after',
'Value_2_after',
'Value_3_after' ),
$export );
return $name;
}
add_filter( 'bp_settings_data_exporter_name', 'change_export_plugins_names', 10, 2);
If Value_#_before contains accents, replace : $export with utf8_decode($export).
This works for me.
Very odd behaviour.
May as well try removing the child theme functions and deactivating any plugins other than BP.
Yes the appearance changes if I switch template packs.
Yes I have the BP private messaging component switched on. I just tested switching it off and saving it. No buttons.
I wonder what could be causing this action to return no result “member-header-actions”? I only have two functions in my child theme functions.php. Disable Visual Composer auto-update and Support MyCred plugin.
