BuddyPress.org

@johnjamesjacoby This specific error has already been fixed in BuddyPress trunk a couple weeks ago (I don’t have the changeset number to hand). netweb fixed an identical problem in bbPress a couple of months ago: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6113/trunk

The issue reported by @larsivar two weeks ago is by a change in PHP 7.1. We have fixed this specific issue for an upcoming release — our ticket tracking PHP 7.1 is here https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7392

While we could ship a release today to fix that specific error, there is at least 1 other PHP 7.1 error that I know about, which is in WordPress itself, which I reported here https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39277

We’ll do more testing for PHP 7.1 in BuddyPress in the first couple weeks of the new year (probably) and ship what fixes we have. We may or may not choose to wait for the next minor release of WordPress (4.7.1) before doing that. Still to be determined.

Sorry, but we can’t assist you for premium theme or third party plugin issues. The toolbar is part of WordPress and BuddyPress only allows you to show/hide it for logged out users. See checkbox in BP’s main settings: Show the Toolbar for logged out users.

Control if you have a specific function runing in your theme functions.php file. If you don’t know how to proceed, ask for help on your theme support. If you find nothing in the theme, ask on woocommerce support.

Group Forum use bbpress which has his own support. Ask there please.
BuddyPress doesn’t use roles outside what you setup in your WordPress settings.

Hi guys,

which theme do you use ? Try with Twenty Sixteen or fifteen, and if you deactivated the toolbar in your settings, try to activate it, then activate BP again.

Another thing to try is to not use the theme customizer. Setup WP, then BP and use a twenty theme, without customizer actions. This basic trio should work.

If your site use php 7+, try to use only php 7.0 (not 7.0.x) as BP is not ready for the very latest php version at this time… You could also try to use only php 5.6 instead of 7.0…

Just in case of, as this was already mentionned on Trac, you can follow about that issue on #7406

Hi @venutius

The explanation of this error message and how to solve it can be found here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Option_Reference
You just have to adjust the comment max links in WP settings > General > Discussion

The message is coded in bp-core/bp-core-moderation.php:135 and is applied to $max_links variable.

Also…
When you get such myterious message, the first place to check for is the pot file! All words used by BuddyPress are listed there, including file names and line numbers. That way, it is easy to get the origin, the function name or some dev’s comment for what is going on.
This trick applies also for theme and other plugins.

Same thing happens to me, although I don’t get the code. I just get the menu on the left but the rest off the screen is blank. I have latest WordPress and there are no other plugins or themes that can cause a conflict.

In the WordPress admin area go to Pages and then create the page. Then under BuddyPress you can assign that page as the activation page.

Hi,

BP has only a few templates who fit with almost any (good) wordpress themes, like BuddyBoss.
Firt you have to read your theme child-theme doc and eventually about BP template hierarchy.

Hi,

So is the only way to do it is to get my developer to write code and update the plugin

Afaik, yes! It is the case for any open source software as soon as it is no more maintained.

If not already done, read here
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fails-with-bp-2-7/

An alternative would be https://github.com/dcavins/hierarchical-groups-for-bp

have you tried this?

The situation is BuddyPress is incompatible with PHP 7.1 as things stand. One issue means a fix in BuddyPress (which we’ve already fixed, and will have out in a release soon, but probably after Christmas), and the other issue I’ve found (which BP sites have a realistic site of running into) require a fix in WordPress, which I hope that team will get done for WP 4.7.1.

Hi,

It would be interesting to know why [your] developer told [you] that [your] site will not be able to manage more than 70,000 users.

Why precisely 70,000 ?

As @venutius already told you, there is no physical limit. And if you have the necessary cash to buy storage and bandwith, go ahead!

A common example for a large site running BuddyPress, is profiles.wordpress.org mentioned by lead dev John James Jacoby (in 2012). It is still the case in 2016.

This should do it for you:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-auto-group-join/

You can modify the pagination (example – not tested). BP use the wordpress function paginate_link()

Sorry, but you’re on a very specific wordpress plugin support. It is not the place for such basic question (what are the short codes). BuddyPress doesn’t provide shortcodes.

This plugin is not common, and not the most easiest to use. The forum is maintained by volonteers, and unfortunately not by profesional teachers. If you are very new to BuddyPress, and apparently to WordPress too, you have to do your homework.

You can get starter information on both codex. For BuddyPress you get access to appropriate documentation via the above menu bar.

For WordPress, and specifically your question, click here.

Thank you for your understanding.

If you create a field group called Business Details, you simply add as many fields you want!
Let’s say, you want that users can fill about 5 companies or society. In this case, you need to create a field for each input, in other words 5 fields. And if you need more details for each, you add the fields you need, one by one:

Business 1: [___]

Address 1: [___]

Office 1 hours: [___]

Business 2: [___]

Address 2: [___]

Office 2 hours: [___]

Or if you use a lot of details, you group each businness separately.

For better clarity of the default profile details output, when you have a lot of information to display, is to use this very handy plugin: buddypress-profile-tabs

Hi Guys,

same Problem on my site? I use wordpress and buddypress latest Versions and latest Version of generatepress theme. I Use my Theme as Childtheme and only on Child-theme the porblem is there. On parent theme all is fine.

Is there an Info to this Point?

Thanks and regards
Patrick

Yes, my BP brothers, there’s a plugin called BP Simple Private and I think it will solve your problems, without having to work with robots.txt

Prior to using BP Simple Private, my site’s member pages were way too accessible.. You could type http://mysite.com/members <- and you’d see the whole members directory.

Prior to using BP Simple Private, you could type http://mysite.com/members/aaronthomas1979, and you’d jump straight to my profile.

With this plugin, people (or search engine bots,) will be redirected to a page of your choosing, and the member pages will not be displayed.

If you already have the issue of member pages being displayed in search results, there’s nothing you can do to immediately fix that, but make the change (get the plugin) and wait for those bots to crawl your site again, but next time, they won’t find those pages.

It works for me..

Have you tried switching momentarily to a WP theme, like 2016?

If you have and the issue still persists..
You can open a bug report here.
Be sure to include your versions of WP and BP.

This is a bbPress issue, I’ve raised a ticket on bbPress Trac that would fix the problem:
