For reference on “Caps lock is on” warning – see trac ticket 9324.

The “Caps lock is on” message and the large “top arrow” indicates that the file containing the CSS rule for the warning has not been enqueued. This feature was first introduced in WordPress 6.9 and can be duplicated when the BP Nouveau template pack is active, however, this should not prevent the registration of new members.

When time allows, I’ll open a ticket to address the issue of “Caps lock is on” and large icon showing when the registration page is first displayed/rendered when the BP Nouveau template pack is active/enabled. The workaround, for now, is to perform one of the following:

• Click anywhere on the page to dismiss the warning message and icon. Note: the warning message & associated icon will reappear if “Caps lock” is enabled on a new registrant’s keyboard
• Temporarily switch to the BP Legacy template pack until a fix has been implemented in a new BuddyPress release.
• Roll back to WordPress version 6.8.x (current version of the WordPress 6.8 branch) until a fix has been implemented in a new BuddyPress release.

As to “Can’t register new users”, you will have to provide additional info/details as to what part of the registration flow is preventing the completion for new registrations.

Hi! We have tested the soon-to-be released BuddyPress 14.5.0 with WordPress 6.9 and haven’t found any issue yet. I personally tested with the Astra theme too.

“There has been a critical error on this website.”

Could you share the error you see? That will help me try to identify the issue.

For reference, the Topic Owner (TO) has opened Trac Ticket #9322 (Bug report at the core for the members loop).

If you are referring to the “built-in” search form on the Members directory page, it searches all xprofile fields that have entries in the bp_xprofile_data table, as well as, the “users table” (“user_login” or “user_nicename”) for the given search term. Additionally, the query is based on the “Like” operator with a “wildcard” (%) in front and after the search term, e.g., LIKE '%" . $searh_term . "%'".

In essence, a word such as “usable” will return as a hit for a search term of “usa”. So, what you will, most likely, want is a more advanced search capability of which you can:

• Code it yourself – see flexibility in members loop, caveat: this is old information but it provides insight as to how to go about it, sans a search form.
• Give the BP Profile Search plugin a try to see if it fits your needs.

Other than the above examples, there are available commercial plugins that you should be able to find on you own.

You should create your own topic with specificity to your situation, instead of making comments on topics that are outdated and quite possibly irrelevant.

Closing this topic due to the nature of it’s age (6 years old).

FWIW: “Last Active” comes from an entry within the “bp_activity” table with the “type” field/column equal to “last_activity” of which the date is taken from the “date_recorded” field/column and this entry (last_active) is, typically required for a user/member to show within the “members directory” page. Thus, at this point, it doesn’t make sense that these imported users show with the “Alphabetical” filter and not with the other indicated filters. However, there is the possibility of a plugin or custom code that might be interfering with the query results.

The “Newest Registered” comes from the “user_registered” field/column of the WordPress “user” table.

What you posted was the error message provided by WordPress. If this is a production site, you should have access to the error log via your hosting services cpanel or equivalent interface.

Typically, when a block theme is in use, there won’t be a “Menus” option/section under “Appearance”. For a block theme, WordPress has some basic information about creating menu items at the following:

Site Editor navigation

Additionally, there is some limited info located at the following, as it pertains to BuddyPress menu items:

Site Editor Navigation <- BuddyPress menus

The caveat with plugins is that for a variety of reasons they might get abandoned at some point in time. Oddly or fortunately enough the author of the BuddyPress Restrict Messages plugin also created (seems like this one is a better fit for your stated requirement):

BuddyPress Messaging Control

However, the caveat of support for this plugin still applies.

Is item #2 a custom email that you created and if so, how did you create it, i.e., what steps did you take?

FYI – Typically “mail logging” plugins log mail sent via wp_mail() (WordPress) and by default BuddyPress doesn’t use WordPress to send emails thus they won’t show in those logs.

This appears to be related to ticket #9302, primary navigation in site editor fails to allow creation of a group. The ticket was submitted by the OP for this topic and has more information regarding the steps to reproduce.

When reviewing the history for this BP Add-on, this appears to be a bug that was first reported in April of 2024 in the WordPress support forum for this plugin. However, it appears that the only action taken was the submission of a GitHub issue #112 that acknowledges the bug and this issue has remained open since that time.

Long story shorter, the fatal error is due to, what appears to be, missing parameters which is unforgiving with PHP version 8.0+. Rolling the PHP version back to 7.4.33 produces PHP errors as a warning and notice for the same file and line number. This bug appears to affect the posting of am image in an activity post; meaning the image is uploaded but does not get attached to the associated activity post. What does seem to work is uploading images from a user’s profile media area (where the image gallery is shown).

All I can suggest at this point is that you deactivate the plugin until a remedy can be found and a new version is released.
