BuddyPress.org

I’m afraid I don’t offhand, I agree it would be a useful feature. Maybe you could add it as a feature request?

Then the boffins could look at it.

Have you looked at the BuddyPress GDPR plugin just released by BuddyBoss?

@bossmanuk try to debug with default WordPress theme (2017) with BuddyPress plugin only it might be possible some theme code is creating an issue.

@stevenseagal follow the steps mentioned here and check error logs
https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress
based on error log we can suggest, how to fix it.

@aronprins if that’s issue with default theme as well You can submit at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/report

Keep eye on https://wordpress.org/support/topic/buddypress-activity-plus-plugin-issues/ thread. That’s all you have to do

The simplest way to disable, at the moment, is to squelch the update_user_meta() call. Untested, but something like this should work:

add_filter( 'update_user_metadata', function( $should_update, $object_id, $meta_key ) {
    if ( 'last_activity' === $meta_key ) {
        return false;
    }

    return $should_update;
}, 10, 3 );

I’ve opened a ticket to discuss disabling the backward compatibility feature in BP. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7882#ticket

I don’t know about “simple”. The function in BP is bp_update_user_last_activity() and that calls WordPress’ user meta functions. I am positive there are filters within that stack you could use to override the value or prevent the writes, but you’ll need to look into that code yourself.

@boonebgorges Do you think we can stop this mirroring yet? And keep _bp_get_user_meta_last_activity_warning in place. Basically, preventing DB writes.

Our position is that we want BuddyPress to provide tools that help site owners comply with privacy legislation.

Our 4.0 release, about a month away, will be our first pass at this. Read the latter comments in https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7698 for linked/related tickets, as well as https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=reopened&status=assigned&status=reviewing&status=new&status=accepted&group=status&milestone=4.0 to see all issues assigned to 4.0 (7855, 7856, 7866, 7867, etc).

We have this fixed for our next release, v3.1. This will be released next week (Wednesday) at the latest. The bug was addressed at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7869

@alpokoskiniva “Repair email” deletes the emails from the “Emails” menu, then re-adds them. You don’t need to do this unless you’ve added a translation to your site after installing BuddyPress, and want the translated emails, or if you’ve made a code change to the email language in the BuddyPress files, which is what @filipponeri20 has done. We strongly recommend that no-one ever changes a core file of BuddyPress, because it will be overwritten when you update.

I have fresh WordPress installation version 4.96 and Buddypress 3.0.

Unfortunately the version 3.0 of Buddypress does not send confirmation email to new registered users. I removed the version 3.0 and tested the version 2.9.4. So in that version it worked.

Several websites are in trouble if the registration process does not work as expected. Otherwise Buddypress is awesome plugin and thanks to the developers. Hopefully the team can fix the case soon.

I also had the same issue. It has been working for the past six months but for some reason I’m now getting the error:

[Thu May 31 03:17:57.637007 2018] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 20994:tid 140462744499968] [client 76.95.217.178:52226] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Warning: Missing argument 6 for bp_custom_format_buddypress_notifications(), called in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 286 and defined in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/wbp/lib/party/notifications.php on line 40\nPHP message: PHP Warning: Missing argument 7 for bp_custom_format_buddypress_notifications(), called in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 286 and defined in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/wbp/lib/party/notifications.php on line 40\nPHP message: PHP Warning: Missing argument 8 for bp_custom_format_buddypress_notifications(), called in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 286 and defined in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/wbp/lib/party/notifications.php on line 40

The “Articles” tab isn’t something that BuddyPress adds. If the count isn’t compatible with Nouveau then I suggest you let the plugin author know at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/social-articles

We have released a plugin to help with GDPR compliance: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-gdpr/
This will be helpful for now, until there is a major BuddyPress release with these features.

You can try these patches https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7845

@shahriar83 You have already created a thread with BP activity plus support, Explain to them how to replicate the issue.

You can replicate the issue with Template Pack BuddyPress Nouveau after BP 3.0 install using WordPress Default theme “Twenty Seventeen” at singe group activity page.

I am able to replicate the issue, You can report here once

@dannydlb You can try these patches https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7845

Thanks a lot @sharebophar for your solution. I had to do a little of adjustment but it was right on the spot!

PROBLEM:
buddypress nouveau not sending activation email but buddypress nouveau sending correctly emails to user for notifications on manually activated users. So in my case the problem was ONLY that the validation email was not sent. I say ‘only’ from a technical perspective but from the user perspective was a VERY BIG issue. Again thanks @sharebophar for your solution
Also note that I am not running a wordpress multisite.

SOLVED:
Here are the steps I have employed:

STEP 1
a) browse to “/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php” in buddypress plugin directory
b) replace the code for ‘core-user-registration’ and ‘core-user-registration-with-blog’ with the following one

	'core-user-registration' => array(
			/* translators: do not remove {} brackets or translate its contents. */
			'post_title'   => __( '[{{{site.name}}}] Activate your account', 'buddypress' ),
			/* translators: do not remove {} brackets or translate its contents. */
			'post_content' => __( "Thanks for registering!\n\nTo complete the activation of your account, go to the following link: <a href=\"{{{activate.url}}}\">{{{activate.url}}}</a>", 'buddypress' ),
			/* translators: do not remove {} brackets or translate its contents. */
                        'post_excerpt' => __( "Thanks for registering!\n\nTo complete the activation of your account, go to the following link: {{{activate.url}}}", 'buddypress' ),
		),
		'core-user-registration-with-blog' => array(
			/* translators: do not remove {} brackets or translate its contents. */
			'post_title'   => __( '[{{{site.name}}}] Activate {{{user-site.url}}}', 'buddypress' ),
			/* translators: do not remove {} brackets or translate its contents. */
			'post_content' => __( "Thanks for registering!\n\nTo complete the activation of your account and site, go to the following link: <a href=\"{{{activate-site.url}}}\">{{{activate-site.url}}}</a>.\n\nAfter you activate, you can visit your site at <a href=\"{{{user-site.url}}}\">{{{user-site.url}}}</a>.", 'buddypress' ),
			/* translators: do not remove {} brackets or translate its contents. */
			'post_excerpt' => __( "Thanks for registering!\n\nTo complete the activation of your account and site, go to the following link: {{{activate-site.url}}}\n\nAfter you activate, you can visit your site at {{{user-site.url}}}.", 'buddypress' ),
		),

STEP 2

a) go to wordpress dashboard, settings, buddypress
b) select and run the ‘repair email’ option

STEP 3

all now works. I have been testing it with dummy users. I hope the whole explanation helps.
