BuddyPress.org

I think the first thing to check is that it’s still the BuddyPress registration page. Your theme may have overloaded it and that might be the issue.

The /sites page was designated in the BuddyPress settings …

You mean ‘Sites’ was listed as a directory on the BP settings page?
Or that a page called ‘sites’ was assigned to something? If so, what?

If you want to change BP templates, you need to overload them.
You cannot use another templating system, such as oxygen.

Ah got you. Looks like something is blocking that page. I’d try the following in the first instance:

1. Check you have member profiles enabled in Settings>>BuddyPress you should have but it’s an easy check.

2. Re-save your permalinks, making sure you are not using the default (top) setting.

3. Deactivate all other plugins apart from BuddyPress and check to see if it works.

4. Try using a default theme such as 2017.

One of those steps should identify the problem.

I cannot duplicate your issue.

Your OP shows a screenshot that indicates a lot of customization of a member profile.
In order to narrow down the source of your issue – have you tried removing those customizations?
It could be that the customizations have not been updated to work with BP 4+ .

Have you tried switching to a WP theme like 2017 to see if the issue persists?
Have you tried deactivating other plugins to see if the issue persists ?

Unless your issues can duplicated on a basic install of the latest versions of WP and BP, it very doubtful that a solution will posted in these forums.

Have you tried using the filter hooks to write functions that bypass the blacklist and moderation checks? You can find the hooks in this file: buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-moderation.php

For example, this could go in your theme > functions.php or in bp-custom.php :

function bp_bypass_checks( $flag, $user_id, $title, $content ) {
	return true;	
}
add_filter( 'bp_bypass_check_for_blacklist', 'bp_bypass_checks', 1, 4 );
add_filter( 'bp_bypass_check_for_moderation', 'bp_bypass_checks', 1, 4 );

Please use the code button when posting code.

I cannot duplicate your issue using WP 5.0.3 and BP 4.2.0

Have you tried switching themes and deactivating other plugins to see if that clears the error ?

Afaik – auto-suggestions are not used by default in a group > members > search
Do you have some custom code that is calling wp_ajax_bp_get_suggestions ?

The first question is if you have overloaded any template files? These would be located in themes/your-child-theme/buddypress

If you have files in directories in there then switching the BP Theme could cause errors.

If not then it’s worth switching to Legacy just to see if it works. However that’s not really solving the issue and if you are getting JS errors the same errors could stop the Legacy theme from working too.

Nouveau is the latest BP Theme ans it came with extra customisation options in Customizer but if you have not used these then there’s very little difference between the two theme views.

Might be worth letting me know what those error are so I can advise further. The other option would be to deactivate all of your other plugins and see if that fixes the problem but it’s a bit longwinded if you have some errors – better to address those first.

That’s interesting, with the LEgacy theme you have to enter the name without the @ but with Nouveau you have to enter the @ for the autocomplete to work. But either way on my test system both autocompletes work.

If you right click on the page, select Inspect Element and choose Console are you seeing any JavaScript errors?

@madhall If you want that activity should not be created at all even at the database.
You can try following inside child theme functions.php

function wb_exclude_activity_types_from_recording( &$activity ) {

    $excluded_types = array( 'joined_group', 'updated_profile'.'friendship_created' );
 
    if ( empty( $activity->id ) && in_array( $activity->type , $excluded_types ) ) {
        $activity->type = '';
    }
 
}
add_action( 'bp_activity_before_save', 'wb_exclude_activity_types_from_recording' );

As per the Activity Filter plugin, it only hides them with bp_ajax_querystring, all activity type still get recorded inside the database. You can also check it’s live working here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTwzSN1y61o

Hmmm… The OP was for default alphabetical listings for group members.

In that case, rather than the members-loop template, the template to overload is this ( assuming you are using the Legacy template pack ):
buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/single/members.php

And the change would be:
<?php if ( bp_group_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'group_members' ) . '&type=alphabetical' ) ) : ?>

So try overloading that template and make sure you adjust the placement of that template in your child theme.

If your theme is overloading that page then yes the changes you make might not have any effect. Your best bet is to contact the theme author and see if that’s the case then ask them how to overload that.

You can use specially designed WordPress theme, I think the solution already exist.

The BP Nouveau I was referring to, it’s the BP Theme, you can check which one you are using in Settings>BuddyPress>Options, it’s either Legacy or Nouveau
