BuddyPress.org

Hi there, let’s try to reply to one problem at a time!

Now the posts do appear in activity stream, but not the comments. If i comment on a post, the stream doesn’t show the comments, but if i comment on a post via activity stream, the comment is then seen on a post and on the activity stream.

I guess, this means the BuddyPress “Site Tracking” is active.

1/ WordPress Administration > BuddyPress Settings > Options Tab – Activity Settings section:
Setting ‘Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts’ is not checked. It means when a post or a comment is posted, then an activity will be generated, but it’s not possible to add an “Activity comment” to the generated activities. Just tested with latest WordPress and BuddyPress 2.5.2 and it works as expected:

2/ WordPress Administration > BuddyPress Settings > Options Tab – Activity Settings section:
Setting ‘Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts’ is checked. This means you chose to synchronize comments between the Post object and the corresponding activity object. So a comment on the activity about the post will generate a regular post comment and a regular post comment will generate an activity comment on the activity about the Post. Just tested with latest WordPress and BuddyPress 2.5.2 and it works as expected:

Now @cmavrikas is talking about something else i think. He wants the activity comments to also be displayed like regular activities: in stream mode.
I then advise to use another filter to avoid parsing args / checking the current object of the Ajax querystring:

function activity_comments_stream_mode( $args = array() ) {
	return array_merge( $args, array(
		'display_comments' => 'stream',
	) );
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_has_activities_parse_args', 'activity_comments_stream_mode', 20, 1 );

I just tested it, and again it’s working fine in latest WordPress / BuddyPress 2.5.2…

I advise you to deactivate plugins/come back to a default WordPress theme and do the opposite work to find the plugins or theme that prevents this regular behaviors.

That list is/was pretty old and not well maintained. BP’s codex is under permanent reconstruction (made by volonteers), so it’s no tomorrow morning that that list will be back.

Actually, the best place to get available BP plugins is the WordPress Repository. Recommanded search keyword is buddypress. 😉

This might not fix the problem but have you tried BP Profile Search?

For anyone using the wp_mail_from and wp_mail_from_name filters, commonly used in SMTP plugins, I’ve created a plugin that lets those filters work with BP emails.

Hope this helps someone!

Got the same erorr.
It’s pity. Why this plugin is so hard coded?
Why I cannot see log files with errors or change environment to development/production?

Wordpress v4.4.2 (single site)
Buddypress v2.5.2

I think it comes down to privacy, and what how much a person wants to share to a specific community. I’m much more open in this WordPress community than I am in communities for various video games i’m involved with, for example.

I’ll continue to give this thought. If WordPress emails are sent without ANY plugin or customisation, I am not sure why BuddyPress emails aren’t being sent — we put a lot of work into the v2.5.2 release to try to fix this exactly situation/problem.

Pretty sure your WordPress members have to post after BuddyPress has been installed, or they don’t show up as BuddyPress members 🙁 I’m currently looking into this as well, to see if any updates have remedied this. It’s very confusing to my members when they click the BuddyPress members link and everyone isn’t there. Some of my members keep in contact even if it isn’t through my site. It’s really not a true integration with WordPress set up this way, so I hope it’s been updated.

Can you post some information about your install?

• Active theme
• Plugins activated
• BuddyPress version
• WordPress version

Thanks!

Have you taken a look at
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-group-hierarchy/ ?
It may give you some ideas of how to proceed.

Thanks a lot @berkelmudez!!

Accidentally I noticed that activation emails were not being sent. And neither were notification emails, like when receiving a private message. Switched to Postman and all was sweet again.

update2: found shane’s answer here:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/196929/how-to-get-member-list-based-on-role-by-using-buddypress

…and got it to work to only show a single role, which covers about half the users I want to show. I don’t really understand array syntax, but am now neck-deep in the new “role__in” thing in 4.4

…and finally got it to work, after finding https://gist.github.com/sbrajesh/2142009 (the most recent comment is key, bringing in “role__in”

Hi,

I just had a similar problem problem where emails were working perfectly from WordPress and BB press but not from Buddypress for some reason even tho my SMTP plugins were working.

It turned out that the SMTP plugins I were using weren’t applying the configuration on Buddypress emails for some reason. The plugins that did not work for me were:Configure SMTP, Easy WP SMTP, WP-Mail-SMTP.

The plugin for me that did succeed in setting the smtp for buddypress email notifications was ‘Postman SMTP’. I think it might be worth a shot trying this plugin to see if it works with this plugin.
I have no idea why the other SMTP plugins didn’t work but this plugin did and it might work for you as well. Good luck

Hi,
you need to network activate, even if you have only one subsite and what ever the sub option (sub-dir or sub-domain) is.

Mostly, BP is activated on the main site.

your-site.com/ – here sit WordPress and BuddyPress and depending your options:

your-site.com/my_second_blog/ (sub-dir)
or
my_second_blog.your-site.com (sub-domain)

@redokodesign Do you know how to access raw email headers, in whatever email client you use?

If so, can you copy/paste the email headers of a WordPress email that you’ve received from the site (i.e. one that is working correctly and was sent)? Can you also share with me the “to” “from” “bcc” “cc” parts of the text that the BuddyPress email debug plugin sent you?

You can find my email address on https://profiles.wordpress.org/djpaul/

I have a suspicion this is something to do with the “from” or “reply to” properties being different for each email, but I need the data to prove this, and what SMTP plugin you are using to see how it is configuring WordPress.

@ala7lam if you go to Settings > BuddyPress you should see a check box next to Extended Profiles. If you uncheck that, the xProfile component becomes disabled. Then you can add your own custom solution (using WordPress usermeta if you wish).
