BuddyPress.org

Hi,

that’s definetly a WordPress question ! Read more about this.

I have this issue too. I can’t believe that no one has responded to you in 4 months!??

It’s clearly a buddypress issue too as it doesn’t work with the theme I am using nor does it work with the default wordpress theme and apparently while it used to work with your theme, after a reinstall, not anymore.

So it’s definitely a buddypress issue but no one responds in 4 months?? How on earth are we to get what we need working if the response time is more then 4 months??

Feeling concerned that buddypress was the wrong choice. This is my first issue and it’s a bad first experience! Unfortunately I put 2 months into building this site and I can’t go back now so it looks like I’m going to have broken pieces and likely have to dump buddypress and maybe even wordpress all together and build a custom PHP site asap, unless someone gets back to yoUs soon.

I hope they do cause I’ve been having fun w/ WP and BP but functionality clearly comes before fun…

Hum, not really…
Do you use this plugin ?

Hi @kyla123,

if you use BuddyPress Login widget, you have a “Remember me” checkbox by default.

If you added an extra page just to let members log in (?), read this WP documentation and check your customization.

The nearest thing I know is https://wordpress.org/plugins/crowdmentions/ however this does not have an @all function, just friends or group members but it may help

Hi Ninja!
This is possbile, but will require a considerable amount of custom coding. You’ll need to have some code this for you, or you can do it yourself if you are comfortable with wordpress coding.

To give you an outline:
– hook into bp_core_general_settings_after_save action
– check if user is trying to change his email address
– check if its the first time user is trying to do so( using a flag in usermeta ). You probably want it for the time time only.
– delete the usermeta pending_email_change
– and update emailaddress for user

Hope it helps.

What is the error you are getting?

The user should get an email with and activation link

By the way, this activation email sometimes ends up in the Spam bin on the users email, one fix to this is to set the outgoing email address used for this email using a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/cb-change-mail-sender/

Hi,

the warnings cames probably because the logout function is called twice.
Check your theme’s functions.php or see for a specific setting.

Can you test the standard behave with a Twenty theme and BP, and all other plugins deactivated.
Remove also the custom code while testing.

If still an issue, consider this plugin. All is in the title, but it redirects to homepage on logout.

#1. You create a blank register page and then you go into the BP page settings and select that page to be used as the registration page, you also need to set wordpress settings to allow user registrations in settings>>General

#2. They are adding details to your own DB

i checked the hebrew translation available on GlotPress. It seems to me it is correctly translated.

Copy/pasting RTL strings doesn’t work here… anyway here what i get (href is LTR here – but is ok in poEdit)

@r-a-y

I found out what was causing the problem for me. I don’t know if the cause is the same for the OP.

In forum settings, I had unchecked the “Forum Prefix” box (the one that prefixes all forum pages with the root slug “Forums.”) I also had the Search slug set to the default “search.”

This left the forum search results “script” if you can call it that, pointing to domain.com/search – which I gather is the default search URL for WordPress and BuddyPress?

Without BuddyPress installed, the forum search still worked, but with BuddyPress installed – nothing. And yet, it was NOT BuddyPress, it was my own lack of understanding. 🙁

I hadn’t realized that the root search slug, without forums in front of it, would cause a problem. But I did some digging around in all this and discovered that both the twentysixteen theme, and BuddyPress, have pages called “search.php” – so naturally, domain.com/search would point to one of those scripts, and not to bbPress search results. (bbPress does not have a search.php page)

Anwyay, when I check the Forums Prefix box, and search the forums, the results page loads at domain.com/<strong>forums</strong>/search and everything works perfectly.

Unforunately I’m using a plugin for bbPress that changes the URL structure and requires me to leave the Forum Prefix box unchecked. But, I found a way around that too – in Forum Settings, I simply changed the search slug to search-results and again, everything works perfectly (and the URL for search-results is now domain.com/search-results which in no way conflicts with domain.com/search)

I have to say, had you not mentioned the search slug in your response, it never would have occurred to me that it would be the cause of all my frustration. I’m glad to have this resolved, and hope that my explanation is enough that it will be able to help anyone else who might run into the same issue.

EDIT

I’ve also discovered that I can set the search slug to forums/search which effectively accomplished the same thing as leaving it on search whilst checking the Forum Prefix box. i.e. they both return the URL as domain.com/forums/search which may not be a huge deal, but it does seem to look prettier than any other URL…

Try this hook – 'bp_before_activity_delete':
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.6.2/src/bp-activity/bp-activity-functions.php#L2770

When I try and search the forums I get no results and returned to the home page

I’m having this same problem and it is definitely an issue that is caused by BuddyPress. I’m using WordPress 4.6.1 with the TwentySixteen Theme, bbPress 2.5.10, and BuddyPress 2.6.2.

When I deactivate all bbPress related plugins, the search still sends me back to the home page. When I deactivate BuddyPress – the search works exactly the way it’s supposed to.

Is there a file in the BuddyPress theme that I can modify/remove/replace, that will correct this issue?

For #2 have you considered using one of the plugins that allow you to brand the WordPress login page?
I use https://wordpress.org/plugins/erident-custom-login-and-dashboard/

Personally I use “Mass Messaging in BuddyPress” ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/mass-messaging-in-buddypress/other_notes/ ), It works quite fine, and It has some more featured than “Mass Messaging for BuddyPress – by Alkaweb”

I know this is an old post, but I hope this reply can help someone.

There is a free plugin that allow to send Mass Messaging to all members of the site, and also to filter them, you can find it here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/mass-messaging-for-buddypress-by-alkaweb/

@venutius have you tried the Mediapress plugin for Buddypress? From what I’ve read, Mediiapress much like the photo/video portion of Ning.

Hi,

appart it is a wordpress related question, you can use CSS.

Try this rule; goes to child-theme style.css

div.wp-editor-container div.quicktags-toolbar {
	background-color: red!important;
}

You can find good tuts on the web for more details.

I’m unable to reproduce your issue on a single install with over 20 plugins active and plenty of custom functions active in bp-custom.php
I can upload medias without problem with different 3th party themes or Twenty’s

Try to upload a fresh copy of WordPress and BP and see if it makes a difference.

Now about the snippet.
It works more or less, no code error. You commented the action, so it is deactivated if someone copy/paste it without correcting this.

That said, what is the reason behind using a redirection to login if the site, or at least the buddyPress parts, should be private ?

Wouldn’t it be more logic to redirect visitors to an anonymous page with some important information, from which the first one could be Sorry, but this site is private ? Followed by some informations how to register or pay a fee or whatever the reason.

A private site has two type of visitors: those invited to join and the others. Don’t give the opportunity to those who are there by chance to enter the site so easily.

I let you think about this and eventually create an appropriate page and template.
Here a code example redirecting to a page called Intranet and the correct calls to slugs for all components (including bbPress).

function bpfr_guest_redirect() {
global $bp;
// enter the slug or component conditional here
	if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() || bp_is_blogs_component() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) || is_bbpress() ) {
	
// not logged in user are redirected to - comment/uncomment or add/remove to your need
		if( !is_user_logged_in() ) { 
			//wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') ); //back to homepage
			//wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . '/register' ); // back to register page	
			wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . '/intranet' ); // back to whatever page
		} 
	}
}
add_filter( 'get_header', 'bpfr_guest_redirect', 1 );

Add it to child-theme’s functions.php

Hi,

the logout link is redirected to the same page. If you’re on your profile notifications screen, which is only intended for you, it is normal that when you logout from there, you’re redirected to a page not found message. Notifications is even private and not public.

The solution is to redirect to an always public part of the site on logout.

Add this snippet to child-theme’s functions.php

//* Redirect WordPress Logout to Home Page
add_action( 'wp_logout', create_function( '', 'wp_redirect( home_url() ); exit();' ) );

Advice 1: use preferably the login widget, so the user stays on the same page where he attempt to login instead to be redirected to that boring wp-login page.

Advice 2: on the Home (which is the member directory), you have all BP pages listed at the bottom. Remove them ! You certainly don’t need to give access to account activation or register page to your visitors…

Best recommendation would be to use this premium plugin

WooCommerce BuddyPress Integration

and some additionnal add_on like this one:
https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-buddypress-integration-xprofile-checkout-manager/

Note: BuddyPress doesn’t handle registering, it only shows the wp-login form with some more fields (if xprofile component is activated).
