BuddyPress.org

Hello @thesupercargo

By the nature of the scenario, there is a chance it’s an isolated scenario that is present in your environment. To get the root, if possible check by yourself by mentioning those mention who are not getting the link. As you mentioned there doesn’t seem to be a pattern, I believe you have done that already and you made sure that there aren’t any spaces, and such a scenario.

Now, you can check theme/plugin conflicts. Although there is a very low chance that there would be conflicts still. To do that, you can try this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/ Also please consider checking WP-Admin->Settings-> Discussion to see where there is any moderation for those users.

If the above are all good, consider checking whether there is any location or any other restrictions from the server side. I haven’t faced such a scenario as well, that’s why, I am curious as well to know what exactly is root cause.

Perhaps I need to create a new post for this or find the relevant one, but the Avatar and Cover images are showing blurry. I tried adding this code to my functions file (via snippets plugin) and it did nothing. I need to change the quality of the images to 100% not be so blurry. How do I tell BuddyPress to use the full image and just scale it down to fit the image size vs. using the thumbnail size, since typically in WordPress those images are horribly blurry.

Here’s the code I added which only alters the image sizes not QUALITY.

<?php

// Define Buddypress Avatars Dimensions.
if ( ! defined( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH' ) ) {
    define( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH', 50 );
}

if ( ! defined( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT' ) ) {
    define( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT', 50 );
}

if ( ! defined( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH' ) ) {
    define( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH', 150 );
}

if ( ! defined( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT' ) ) {
    define( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT', 150 );
}

Thanks Venutius, I spent some time using your code along with ChatGPT and this seems to have worked for me, all the feeds are gone….maybe this will help someone else!

@briebree I’ve been developing a plugin which you may want to check. It doesn’t give option to choose different avatars, but it does allow members to join groups anonymously.

BuyddyBoss & BuddyPress Anonymous members Plugin

It is not in the wordpress.org plugin repository yet, thanks to a huge list of plugins awaiting review.

ok, the quick fix is to install – https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-feeds-wp/

So long as this is set to redirect to the homepage (in settings>>Reading), then is will redirect all feed requests to the referring page.

However, those feeds are still being produced, and I have found a filter to disable them completely.

‘bp_is_action_variable’

I’ll see if I can come up with some code for this later.

Hi,

For the activation email issue, check your BuddyPress and WordPress settings to ensure emails are configured correctly. Also, look for plugin conflicts that might be affecting it.

For the profile redirection problem, verify that your website URL settings in WordPress and BuddyPress are correct. Double-check the URL configurations to ensure they point to your site.

If you need more help, contacting support might be a good next step.

Thank you, but after updating the plugin to the lattes version, a notification message is stacked at the top of my WordPress admin dashbored as follows:

(For BuddyPress Multilingual to work you must enable WPML together with BuddyPress or BuddyBoss.)

—————————————-

even the WPML and BuddyPres are already active and working

That’s interesting, I don’t have this issue myself as far as I can see. Certainly, using the Android “app” that I use, it’s fine. My theme does not touch the WordPress top=bar menu, as far as I can see. I use Graphene.

Hi @kkwemoi

BP Classic

First, ensure that BuddyPress is loaded and initialized before your plugin tries to call its functions. Since BuddyPress hooks its initialization to WordPress bp_init action, which typically fires on wp or init at a priority of 10, you should ensure your hook runs after this or directly on bp_init with a lower priority (higher number).

You can try to debug like this.

function my_custom_buddypress_function() {
    if ( ! function_exists('xprofile_get_field_data') ) {
        error_log('BuddyPress xprofile component has not been loaded yet.');
    } else {
        // Your code here
    }
}

add_action('bp_init', 'my_custom_buddypress_function', 20);

@kokiri https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-toolkit/

Yes, let”s do that. I think this must be something to do with your theme template, since my theme does not have this issue and I do not think it’s anything to do with Buddypress.

It may be that your theme creator will not want to support Buddypress, but you should ask them. However, I have a suggestion for a workaround if they do not want to do this.

I also use a plugin to set a custom header per page, and this works on my BP sites.

Unique Headers

Where’s your approval functionality coming from ? … WordPress, Buddypress, or a plugin?
