Do other BuddyPress emails get sent?
Do WordPress emails get sent? (comment notification, new user registration, etc).

perhaps this might help

In order to update a custom table you’d need to use the wpdb class.

Hi,

BuddyPress doesn’t handle registration. That’s WordPress territory.

You may read about WP two step authentication:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Two_Step_Authentication

And here’s a tutorial from which you can built a multi step authentication:

Building a Multi-step Registration Form for WordPress

Good luck !

Deactivate all plugins and the theme and test registering from WP using a Twenty theme as first.
Then activate BP and re-test.
Then activate S2 or whatever you use for paid membership and again, test.
And finally, you have to test your theme (if not a Twenty one).

FYI, BuddyPress doesn’t handle the password field, but WordPress.
You’ll probably get better answers on WP or S2 support forum.

Emails not sending have many possible causes. For the sake of clear discussion, please make your own topics, don’t bundle in on the same one.

@jtburlew Please check to see if your site sends WordPress emails reliably? (i.e. comment notification, password resets). Please also let me know what plugins you are using. Anything that changes POP3 or IMAP behaviour, or redeclares the wp_mail function, in particular.

@imath has never reported with emails not sending from his French language WordPress sites, so I am assuming this is a server configuration problem – or incompatibility with something WPML is doing – rather than it being down to some character within the email string.

What plugins do you have active?

Does your site send WordPress emails reliably? (i.e. password resets, comment notifications)

@maryt66 You’re welcome. You can subscribe to the latest BP development news at https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/ or check out https://buddypress.org/blog/

Cheers.
Mercime

Just to note that the “add friend and cancel friendship” tooltips, among other tooltips have been removed in BP 2.7 trunk (see #7090).

The BuddyPress Plugin doesn’t apply any style when you hover over a suggested @mention. When using a default WP theme (which is what the BP developers base their testing on) there is no hover effect on the suggested username. Which indicates that it is probably something in the style of the theme you are using that is applying this additional effect.

The quickest way to see if it’s the theme or not, is to quickly change themes to one of the Twenty-xx themes that are packaged with WordPress, and if the hover effect disappears, you know where the problem is.

That’s only part one. The next part is to figure out where in the theme the issue is and patch it.

I haven’t tried this plugin in a few years, and it hasn’t been updated for a while, but it once did exactly what you are talking about.

You could customize the adminbar completely, using this snippet. I’m hiding the W menu, but you could probably hid the Sites menu and then add your own dropdown with the requisite links.

http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-edit-re-order-or-hide-wordpress-admin-menus/

         /**
	 * Adds custom "Home" menu to WP Adminbar.
	 *
	 * Also removes the "WP logo" menu.
	 *
	 * @param object $wp_admin_bar The WP Admin Bar object
	 */
	public function add_custom_parent_menu( $wp_admin_bar ) {

		/**
		 * Removing the "W" menu
		 */
		$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu( 'wp-logo' );

		/**
		 * Create a "Home" menu.
		 *
		 * First, just create the parent menu item.
		 */
		$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
			'id' => 'commonlinks',
			'parent' => '0', //puts it on the left-hand side
			'title' => 'Home',
			'href' => ('INSERT LINK HERE')
		) );

		/**
		 * Add submenu items to "Home" menu.
		 */
		// Only show the following for logged-in users
		if ( current_user_can( 'read' ) ) {
			// Support link
			$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
				'id' => 'support',
				'parent' => 'commonlinks',
				'title' => 'Support',
				'href' => ('INSERT LINK HERE')
			) );

			// Blog request form
			$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
				'id' => 'blogrequest',
				'parent' => 'commonlinks',
				'title' => 'Stuff',
				'href' => ('INSERT LINK HERE' )
			) );

			// Developers blog
			$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
				'id' => 'developments',
				'parent' => 'commonlinks',
				'title' => 'Developments',
				'href' => ('INSERT LINK HERE' )
			) );

		}

The BuddyPress login widget is just a styled version of the WordPress login page. Hackers are still hitting the same database regardless of if they are finding your login widget — or more likely — blinding hitting your /wp-login.php page. wp-login isn’t being replaced here. If you are worried about brute force attacks, you should look into mechanisms created to protect WordPress (captchas, limit login attempts, etc.)

Replacing the WP login infrastructure with something else is a whole other matter, and something you would need to do on the WP side. As @djpaul mentioned, BP leaves that side of the site to the existing BP user management system.

BuddyPress doesn’t affect user authentication or password resets. We leave that to WordPress.

WordPress’ lost password link can be found on the .com/wp-login.php screen. You can copy that link into your theme/navigation menu, etc, if you want it elsewhere.

@skullchow To get your site back, you need to FTP (or SSH, or whatever — you should know how to do this) into your server. Go into the wp-content/plugins/ folder, and rename the buddypress plugin to buddypress-disabled. Then, visit your site’s plugins page (.com/wp-admin/plugins.php), and WordPress will fix itself.

Then what you need to do is obtain your server’s PHP error logs. If you don’t know how to do this, ask your webhost for help. Inside it, it will be list whatever error was breaking the site. If you let us know what’s in the log, we can help figure out what broke things.

Not quite! In BuddyPress 2.6, we added support for dynamic links for user profiles.

In your template/blog post/wherever, if you wanted a link to go to the logged-in user’s activity stream (for example), create the link to <a href=http://example.com/members/me/activity">my activity stream</a>.

See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/10791 for the change.
