You can keep using legacy template pack for while and after your theme vendor announces support for nouveau you can switch on it.
It happens when I run BackWPup. There are no line numbers. It shows up in the logs as follows.

I can’t duplicate gcmaryland’s problems with group meta.
For those with problems, can you post what group plugins you are using and what the expected behavior is? Please list clear steps to duplicate. Imagine a person that does not know anything about BuddyPress and WordPress and expect that person to duplicate the problem.
Update – duplicated the problem with the bp-nouveau template pack. I have some tentative fixes that I’ve added to the ticket.
However, here’s the easiest fix you can add to your site for now:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7837/7837.01.patch
@kelvinnm
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', $admin_email_filter );
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', $from_name_filter );
is defined inside https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-group-email-subscription/blob/master/bp-activity-subscription-digest.php
which you can override via functions or try
try https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mailfrom-ii/
Posted to: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7837#ticket with code sample
(First issue, so please let me know if this is right – thanks!)
@ma3ry there is a temp fix for BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields Type by @venutius you can check it.
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-breaks-with-bp-3-0/
Issue confirmed for some of our sites as well. Rolling back BP to 2.9.4 fixes issues in both the previous and current versions of WP. It appears to be linked to sites currently using custom group meta through an active or inactive plug-ins. I’ve noticed that removing the line: add_filter( ‘groups_custom_group_fields_editable’, ‘group_header_fields_markup’ ); from active plug-ins using the group meta template (https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/how-to-edit-group-meta-tutorial/) breaks the plug-in and allows the group pages to be loaded correctly. I’ve noticed that all of these functions have the $wpdb object referenced in (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7834). Perhaps there’s a connection? Otherwise, it still appears to be limited to sites using custom group meta plug-ins.
hmm, with the recent changes in WP it’s not that straightforward. You’d need to download the files from the BP SVN here https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress/tags/2.9.4/ and for that you would need an SVN browser such as tortoise SVN. One you had the files you would also need FTP access to your site, to rename the current BP directory in plugins to something else (buddypress-3.0 for example) and then copy the 2.9.4 files into a new buddypress directory. then you could test it.
Hello,
Starting from BuddyPress 3.0 we have removed support for the deprecated and unsupported bbPress 1.x that was bundled with BuddyPress.
As written in our release post:
Most notably, the Legacy Forums component has been removed after 9 years of service. If your site was using Legacy Forums, you need to migrate to the bbPress plugin.
And here is our general bbPress 2.x forum installation guide:
Installing Group and Sitewide Forums
So, @m1000, please follow the migration guide and move everything forum-related to bbPress 2.x, which is faster and overall works better.
Hello,
yesterday it worked fine, today I get the error message
Oops! That page can’t be found.
It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try a search?
for all lists of group activities. The groups are still correctly listed in my profile but when clicking on them, the don’t show the list of activities any more.
Between both situation was the update this morning to BuddyPress Version 3.0.0. WordPress is running on 4.9.6. I use a Twenty Fifteen Child theme, but it happens also after changing to an official theme. I deactivated all plugins and reactivate only BuddyPress but see no difference.
The groups are still there and also there activities, I can see and open them from the Dashboard.
I changed the permalink settings several times but it has no influence.
Any suggestions?
Bye
Jan
You should raise this on BuddyPrss Trac as a bug.
Hi
This is how it happened. We got an email from registered members that they are being spam. Another member was sending them SPAM messages.
The mail sent to them contained the name of the member so we searched for it. We also got the spammer’s account username and link by checking the affected members messages directly under their profile page on the frontend. The spammer has a profile page already. However, the username could not be found in the users section of the backend.
Then we checked users that have not activated their account or received the activation email through a plugin named Unconfirmed.
That was when we found the spammer info meaning the spammer has not activated his/her account yet but is already interacting with the community.
That I cannot explain why it happened. It seems even though the user has not activated his/her account, he/she is already recognized by buddypress.
Regards
@dggerhart you can try https://wordpress.org/plugins/ban-hammer/ it will allow you to block list domain TTL.
Hi,
I’m reading lots of posts that are a 18 mo’s to more than two years old. So I thought to re-ask the question, hoping for some more current advice.
How can I stop Spam Users from registering?
WordPress 4.9.6 running Idyllic theme.
BuddyPress Version 2.9.4
Site https://insideouthope.org
What’s the plugin, combination of them or other treatment we can deploy that will best insulate our real community from vermin?
My inclination is to blacklist/whitelist domains somehow.
Thanks in advance for your considered response(s).
@mckennapoole Please try to debug if your site can send emails?
You can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/ for verification. If that’s not working, you will need to use 3rd party services to send email, or consult with hosting support.
I think you should checkout this tutorial about pagination WordPress. I have implemented the steps mentioned in the tutorial working properly.
Hello,
1.I used theme ” Travel log”.But it has same problem when I changed other theme for example like wordpress Twenty Sixteen theme.Do you have solution?
2. That’s the feature of rtMedia, maybe need to close this feature from rtMedia and it is need to updated. But it is a good feature.
@abu117 It should be the default functionality unless you have used some 3rd party plugin to disable it, when someone is registering at WordPress or BuddyPress, it will send an email to activate or verify their emails.
@bluevert You will need to override the template files inside the child theme.
Follow the steps mentioned here
Template Hierarchy
Most of the time BP will use page.php since that template file exists in the majority of WordPress themes. However, if you wanted to style BuddyPress pages differently than a regular WordPress page, you could add a template file named buddypress.php to your theme’s directory and BP would use that template instead since that file is ahead of page.php in the hierarchy above.
After creating buddypress.php inside child theme, you can comment this line
do_action( 'travel_log_sidebar' );
it will remove sidebar from all BuddyPress pages, if you need to keep on some BP pages, you can use conditional logic.
venutius – thank you.
I am not a WordPress expert, so I need a little more guidance. My guess is that the call to bp_the_profile_field returns the current edit field and that I could create an if clause that would insert some HTML if the field ID (or label) matches the one where I want my label inserted. But this is just a guess – can you please point me in the right direction?
