BuddyPress.org

If you are asking about bbPress, try the bbPress forum.

If you’re asking about removing the BuddyPress email verification step for new accounts, there are several plugins that do that:

BP Disable Activation Reloaded

BuddyPress Auto Activate Auto Login

There is an issue with hotmail/outlook rejecting activation emails (See the fix here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/11862).

Otherwise, the best way to customize your emails is explained here: https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/

There’s a known issue with hotmail/outlook addresses that will be addressed in the next minor update. You can see the fix here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/11862

That may be your issue. If not, please provide more information.

BP Bulk Delete

Found the bug tracker & reported here
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7702#ticket

Never mind! I’ve found a fabulous solution that has gotten me out of SQL query hell. Again, if anyone else is trying to sort a Members Directory, here’s what I did:

1) Put it in a table, not a list (I had done this anyway, since I wanted a single-page directory that displayed xprofile fields horizontally) — make sure it has a <th> table header row;
2) Install the plugin Table Sorter https://wordpress.org/plugins/table-sorter/ and add the class “tablesorter” to the table.

Et voilà! I commented out the sort type dropdown in members/index.php starting with
<div class="item-list-tabs" id="subnav" aria-label="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Members directory secondary navigation', 'buddypress' ); ?>" role="navigation">
all the way through

<?php
/**
 * Fires inside the members directory member order options.
 *
 * @since 1.2.0
 */
do_action( 'bp_members_directory_order_options' ); ?>
</select>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

and I made sure that the default single page list showed all users alphabetically by default in members-loop.php

<?php if ( bp_get_current_member_type() ) : ?>
	<p class="current-member-type"><?php bp_current_member_type_message() ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . '&per_page=500' . '&exclude=1,2,3,4,6' . '&type=alphabetical') ) : ?>

And then all I had to do was add that tablesorter class to the table as required by the tablesorter plugin, and I got a nice dynamic table with sortable columns, which can also be sorted by multiple criteria by holding down the Shift key on the second column. I set the initial sort order with parameters that select the column by number, as described at http://tablesorter.com/docs/example-option-sort-list.html and elsewhere.

<table id="members-list" class="tablesorter {sortlist:[[4,0], [3,0], [2,0], [1,0], [0,0]]}" aria-live="assertive" aria-relevant="all">

Yay.

Hi I’m not exactly sure what you mean, but if you’re looking to get the profile image associated with a group or user, you can use the avatar-fetching function that BP uses in its templates, bp_core_fetch_avatar():
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.3/src/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php#L99

As an example, you might use

bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(
			'item_id' => $user_id,
			'type'    => 'thumb',
			'width'   => false,
			'height'  => false,
			'html'    => true,
			'alt'     => sprintf( __( 'Profile picture of %s', 'buddypress' ), 'user name' )
) );

This plugin is awfully close to what you’re trying to do. You might try modifying it to show groups in a drop down instead of the options offered:

BuddyPress Registration Groups

I doubt that any plugin is going to support group creation at registration; group creation is a multi-step process, and is too much to ask a new user to do at the same time as registration.

Hi, there are a lot of reasons that email fails. There’s a current issue with non-SSL domains and Outlook.com for instance: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-emails-not-going-out/

If you’re not receiving any emails from your WordPress site, start by testing your site setup with this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

In any case, we’ll need more detail, like what the user’s email address domain is, to help you troubleshoot.

Sounds like you could use a non-user-specific site wide notice for that. Something like this, maybe:

Simple Notices

Hi @jcrr-

Please open a ticket about this issue: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Sounds like you’ve gathered some useful/interesting/disturbing info about the underlying issue.

Thanks!

Hey Kristjan,

Congrats on the success of your community!

BuddyPress is designed and architected to scale quite elegantly, so long as the underlying hardware can also support it. It’s a bit of a non-answer, but is ultimately what it boils down to.

(For example, WordPress.org has about 13 million registered user accounts, and on any given day they are active across the various connected properties, but there are a few dozen web servers handling the constant database reads & writes, API calls for software updates, caching various parts, etc…)

Group creation (and subsequent user memberships) all eventually just bubble down to a singular and easy to use function call, so depending on your parameters, and with a small custom plugin, could be automated pretty easily. Nothing exists in BuddyPress itself to facilitate the automation part, but there’s nothing preventing it either.

Perhaps to more directly answer your question, there is no technical limitation to the number of users or groups or group members your community could have, beyond the limitations of MySQL, PHP, and modern computing itself (maximum 32 bit integer value, etc…)

I don’t think they work that way, I also looked at BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields but that did not allow for that, just a single field to enter the value. You might want to suggest it as a feature request on BuddyPress Trac:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

There is already a ticket about it: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/408

Hi @plumis-

A group will always have an admin (the person who created it), so I’m not sure about your criteria for deletion, but deleting groups is straightforward. You’re going to need to add some cron jobs that run every fifteen minutes, then find the groups your want to delete (based on your criteria). Something like this:

// Get recently created groups:
$groups = groups_get_groups();

foreach ($groups as $group) {
	// Delete groups with only one member.
	$members = groups_get_group_members( array( 'exclude_admins_mods' ) );
	if ( 1 == $members['count'] ) {
		groups_delete_group( $group->id );
	}
}

You’ll have to figure some things out, like how to schedule run the routine via cronjob (check out this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/), and also what your criteria will be. bp-groups-functions.php has many helpful functions in it that you could use.

@drpranshumehta Emails are more server-specific functionality; You can test using some plugins https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email
If the server is is not able to send emails, you can try SMTP configurations to send emails.

by default email is sent from wordpress@yourdomainname
You can change with email using any 3rd party plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mailfrom-ii/

Hi @kevin000012, seems like you had multisite enabled earlier and after migration it’s disabled. you can enable it again using the following approach.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

There are a couple of plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/category-specific-rss-feed-menu/ you can use them to offer category RSS for your members.

@tom-corvus You can check codes at
https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/bp-default-data/tags/1.2.0/process.php with function name bpdd_import_users_profile()
BP Default data plugin have created some fields and field group for BuddyPress.
