Hi!
1) yes – as i already explained
2) yes
3) the solution is to patch the file manually. It will be available in a future bbPress update, but i ignore the date… It’s better to patch immediatly, update can be in a long time.
Here is the patch.
– In red you see the current code.
– In green the new one you can use.
Remove the line in red and replace it by the green one. Note this modification in a safe place, in case the patch won’t be applied at next bbP update. This can happen and is available for absolutly any plugin, theme and even WP when it comes to patch core files.
You see also the line number so it’s very easy to find it inside the file.
The concerned file is mentionned in bold, above the diff. code itself.
FYI the complete path is wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/activity.php
I suppose you know how to copy/paste ? 🙂
Isn’t possible at the moment.
My site is getting heavily brigaded by spammers
Sorry for you, but adding moderation to status wouldn’t avoid spammers signicantly.
Have you installed WP by following some basic security recommandation ?
Do you use some anti spam plugins ?
How many members do you have and to what do you estimate the amount of spammers in regard of them ?
Have you inactive users in the list ?
Are you on a MS or single install ?
Maybe you could also blacklist some words from updates publication.

Dear Danbp, as you suggested I opened the ticket, and I read the teplies here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2992
I am sorry, but I am not an expert and I did not understand what they are saying.
1) they have noticed that the problem I was speaking was “real”, exists. Right?
2) Somebody found a solution? Right?
3) What’s the solution? I have to modify the code? Or an update of bbpress will be available with this adjustment?
Thanks for explaining.
You’re refering to a premium add-on for witch only people who buyed the licence have access. You’ve better to ask on their support or at MyCred forum.
Personally i use Buddypress Social on SWA and Simple Share Buttons Adder for the blogs (multisite install).
Hi!
1. presuming you dl the translation file (po & mo) ?
2. what have you renamed ? Normally there is nothing to rename for po/mo file names.
3. which code did you added to functions.php? Usually there is nothing to add there for translation.
See here for details: https://codex.buddypress.org/translations/
Note: Hebrew language file (buddypress_he_IL.mo) is uncomplete (72%), that’s probably why your register page is still in english.
There is also no PTE for hebrew which makes difficult for users to get the awaiting for validation strings.
The only solution for you is to download what is currently available in hebrew and to complete this translation yourself or to get in touch with this guy.
Perhaps you want to contribute to translation in your language? Read here if interested.
Do other emails sent from your site, by WordPress, work? For example, comment moderation notifications, and so on.
Please also provide a list of plugins active.
Hi @missmad,
this url doesn’t exist, as there is no page called dashboard in WordPress.
Dashboard is related to wordpress administration. To go there, the path is your-site/wp-admin/index.php
On a user’s profile, there is a profile settings page.
your-site/members/username/settings/
Do you mean this URL ?
I was able to reproduce the problem described here, and I’ve opened a ticket to track it at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2992.
@ico33 Perhaps you could test the patch on that ticket, to see if it solves your problem. If so, leaving a comment on that bbPress ticket would be a great way to help.
@danbp
I have another wordpress blog, without bbpress and buddypress. I tried to install there buddypress and bbpress, and try.
WELL: the problem is absolutely the same. On another different blog. How is this possible?
Hi !
Try this plugin, it does exactly what you need. In BP options, leave Replace BP 2.4 functionality unchecked and you’re done.

Hi there,
I recently installed WordPress 4.6.1 and BuddyPress 2.6.2
I’m using a child theme of the Enfold theme by kriesi.at and everything runs nice but the “Create Group” button inside the Groups page is missing so I can see only “Memberships” and “Invitations”.
It works though with the theme Twenty-Fourteen and Twenty-Fifteen but not with the Twenty-Sixteen.
I was googling this and most of the people says that’s an issue related with fact that the_title(); tag in the theme’s page.php is placed “outside the WordPress loop”.
Unfortunately nobody has a solution.
Can you please tell me how to fix this issue? Some php lines in the child’s functions.php or something like that?
Thanks a lot.
Am I the only one having this problem?!
Could you make one of your groups private and try to join it to see if you get the same problem, please?
I want to know if the problem is from BP or something in WordPress messing with BP.
Thanks in advance! 😉
Jaume.
Hi,
Sorry that no one has responded to your post.
If there are issues with the codebase (as is the case in this instance), you should post a report on our bug tracker, Trac:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket
You should be able to login with the same credentials you use here on wordpress.org.
Can you go into further detail about how you are deleting the comment? Are you deleting an activity comment that is connected to a post?
Under “Settings > BuddyPress > Options”, is “Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts” checked or unchecked?
—-
For my test:
1. “Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts” is checked.
2. I posted a comment on a WP blog post.
3. I navigate to the BP activity directory page and find the post in the activity stream. The WP comment that I made is listed as an activity comment under the post in the activity stream and not listed as a separate activity stream item.
4. I click on the “Delete” button for my activity comment entry.
5. I do not see the “There was a problem…” error.
I haven’t tested when “Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts” is unchecked yet.
Thanks Destac. Hostgator advertises a cloud based managed WordPress plan with CDN and unlimited storage for around $10 per month. Would something like that be sufficient to get started? I’m expecting 200-300 visitors per day at most.
That might work, though the BuddyPress email template has configurable colours etc, so you’d need to fill those in inside the HTML.
You can get the HTML template from https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/assets/emails/single-bp-email.php
Are you getting ANY emails from WordPress? For example, comment moderation/approval notices.
If you are not, then this is a general WordPress problem and you will get better help quicker by 1) contacting your web host for support and 2) posting on the wordpress.org support forums.
Yes,my WordPress is in German. When I use the translation, then my WordPress is in English and Buddypress will not be translated.
Strange ! Is WordPress in german ?
Dashboard > Settings > General > Site Language
BP translation file goes to wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-de_DE.mo
Hallo!
Dowload it from here:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress/stable/de/default
Select po and mo extension at the bottom of the page where’s written “Export”
Arrrgggl ! 🙂 You’re loosing your time by trying to do that. BP Default will be definetly built out soon.
Read WP codex about child theme and use this solution in any case. Whatever change you make in a core file will be owerwriten at next update. Theme modification should be made from within a child-theme, so it is safe even when an update is made on the original.
And read at least here about BuddyPress theming.
Sorry if this is kind of a newbie/generic question, but here goes.
I am building to WordPress site to replace my existing group site on Meetup.com, which has around 500-1000 active members. Members RSVP to events (5-10 per week), post photos and comments, email each other through the site, and use a message board. Some events require online payment, and we use Meetup’s WePay for that. The main plugins I plan to use to reproduce these features are BuddyPress, Events Manager Pro (with Paypal Gateway), bbPress, rtMedia, MailChimp, possibly NinjaForms, and a few others. I am developing this under GoDaddy’s shared hosting (planning to switch to SiteGround or something similar). I have read that BuddyPress in particular can be a challenge for shared servers, so I am concerned that performance will be an issue when we go live.
1. Any thoughts on the use of WordPress/BuddyPress with shared server host? Any recommendations on shared server or managed server providers? What price point should I looking at?
2. With the number of photos members would be uploading/sharing, I am afraid we will quickly exceed the basic plan’s 10GB limit. Any recommendations for a storage CDN? Or would a cacheing plugin be sufficient?
3. Any other plugins/extensions I should consider to increase performance?
Not out-of-the-box, no, sorry! Speaking from experience, it might be possible for someone to write a plugin to do this, but I think it would be extremely complex because WordPress’ email system is just terrible.
Seems compatible already https://wordpress.org/plugins/iframely/
Doesn’t do anything default for links.
@danbp had referenced a page with a plug in that wasn’t approved for the version of my wordpress (4.6). I went ahead and tried it and it works great. WP Simple Email Sender (shows as WP Single Email in settings).
I’d love to figure out how to do it the right way, but this seems to fill the bill.
