BuddyPress.org

Thanks for the response! I installed classic but no change.
No change when I de-activate the ‘Buddy Press for Learndash’ by BuddyBoss plugin. (https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-learndash/)
I checked with LearnDash and this is still the plugin they advise to use – even though it hasn’t been updated in 4 years. We may just abandon the functionality – it doesn’t offer much value to us if it’s not connected to the online course. I suspect the BuddyBoss plugin is the issue.

@rodrigolzd, try this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-activity-filter. You can disable a certain type of activity posting. This feature will only be effective on new activities, and will not remove existing ones. For example, when someone adds you as a friend or registers on the community.

@jerrythemouse https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailpoet-paid-memberships-pro-add-on works fine with Mailpoet 3.

There is no specific limitation from Paid Membership Pro I have seen upto so far where it limits you to fetch registered user email and sync it to any 3rd party integration.

@jerrythemouse To add a membership layer, you can use Paid Membership Pro, which also comes with a BuddyPress addon.

I am glad to hear that a v.14 is planned!
For 10 years I’ve tried to build something with buddypress, but I have never been able to launch a completed project, as I haven’t had the skills to make it as functional as it needed to be.

I am one of those guys that have used wordpress + various other members plugin + freelancer to make what I want.

Every community is different – so is the ones I’ve tried to make, and more often than not I haven’t needed 60% of the functionality coming out of the box in buddypress. But there are always something missing, at least for what I wanted to use Buddypress for.

In version 14 I hope to see more functionality (presented in a clear way for the users) towards user-interacting: Easy to use notification system for 100% of interactions between users.

All notifications is so, so important – as this is the way to bring members back. “Lila has sent you a message, click here to see”, “You got a new friend request”, “Someone replied to your topic”.. This brings people back, helping to grow the community!

So: Live popups and emails + bell notifications for:
Private messages, new bbpress replies / new topics, bbpress mentions, commenting, like buttons, added, follows, friend requests, accepted friend request, rejected friend requests, rating of content, e.g posts, forum posts etc.

And the entire notification system must be easy to use for both members and the admins!
Not all admins have coding skills. We just need an easy way to implement a bell in the header, which nicely presents new notifications. Small things like that is what I’ve been looking for.

And I have often found that 50% of it is working as I hoped, but then the other 50% is just not there. Forcing me to go to Freelancer, and from the developers over there, getting told: “You don’t need such a heavy tool like buddypress to accomplish this. Let me fix it for you just using wordpress and UsersWP”.

Possible caching issue.

You can check these docs, WP Fields can be used as xProfile fields https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/tag/wordpress/

@eluyawi

You can use the following code snippet to create a new tab to display at BuddyPress Profile.

// Function to add a custom tab for Membership Details in the BuddyPress profile
function wbcom_rcp_buddypress_add_membership_tab() {
    global $bp;

    // Define a new navigation item for the BuddyPress profile menu
    bp_core_new_nav_item(array(
        'name' => __('Membership', 'textdomain'), // The name of the tab
        'slug' => 'membership', // The slug for the tab, used in the URL
        'screen_function' => 'wbcom_rcp_buddypress_membership_screen', // The function that will load when the tab is clicked
        'position' => 50, // Position of the tab in the profile navigation
        'parent_url' => bp_loggedin_user_domain() . '/membership/', // The parent URL for this sub-navigation
        'parent_slug' => $bp->profile->slug, // The slug of the parent navigation item
        'default_subnav_slug' => 'membership' // Default sub-navigation slug
    ));
}

// Function to handle the display of the Membership Details tab content
function wbcom_rcp_buddypress_membership_screen() {
    // Add the title and content to the Membership tab using actions
    add_action('bp_template_title', 'wbcom_rcp_buddypress_membership_screen_title');
    add_action('bp_template_content', 'wbcom_rcp_buddypress_membership_screen_content');
    // Load the BuddyPress plugin template for displaying the tab content
    bp_core_load_template(apply_filters('bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins'));
}

// Function to set the title of the Membership Details tab
function wbcom_rcp_buddypress_membership_screen_title() {
    echo 'Membership Details'; // Title displayed on the Membership tab
}

// Function to display the content of the Membership Details tab
function wbcom_rcp_buddypress_membership_screen_content() {
    // Use the shortcode [subscription_details] to display membership information
    echo do_shortcode('[subscription_details]');
}

// Hook the function to add the Membership tab into the BuddyPress setup navigation action
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'wbcom_rcp_buddypress_add_membership_tab');

You can use a plugin to add code snippets to your WordPress website using a plugin like “Code Snippets.” This plugin allows you to add custom PHP code snippets to your site without editing your theme’s functions.php file.

@fourbfb you can try to debug with the following steps.

1- Temporarily deactivate other plugins to rule out conflicts, as another plugin might interfere with BuddyPress’s upload functionality.
2- Switch to a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty to check if the issue is theme-related.
3- Verify PHP settings such as upload_max_filesize and post_max_size are adequate in your php.ini file.
4- Use the browser’s developer console (F12) to check for JavaScript errors that might block the upload process.
5- Ensure that the profile photo and group icon uploads are enabled in BuddyPress settings.

Hi @imath,

I have a similar / related issue. I’m using Restrict Content Pro’s registration page with the latest Buddypress version (12.1.1) on a staging site and my registration page broke. It told me “Member registration is currently not allowed”, even if I disable the buddypress plugin.

I tried the gist you posted https://gist.github.com/imath/c5c34feb5d3c9b3070f7a11bc339f103 in my child theme’s functions.php but the registration page still does not work. Any ideas?

*Update* – I read through the earlier post and found the first workaround – going to Buddypress Settings -> URLs, but did not see any option to change the register slug. I had to briefly turn on wordpress general settings “Anyone can register” so that more options would appear in “URLs”. I was able to set the slug to something else like ‘sign-in’ and that seemed to allow my RCP registration to function again.

Just to check, I disabled “Anyone can register”. Seems like the BP slug change stuck and my RCP registration is operational.

@imath
Thanks for your help
That note was very helpful.

According to the image below, the Date Selector field is related to choosing the date of birth and…

This is the part I was looking for, which is apparently not compatible with WordPress’ core historiography system and cannot be used with Shamsi date in Persian language (after using the Shamsi-Jalali plugin).

@puresaian To mention all group members simultaneously, you must implement a custom solution. This could be a special shortcode or command that automatically translates into individual mentions for all group members when used by the admin.

/**
 * Handles the custom mention "@everyone" within BuddyPress groups.
 * When @everyone is used in a group's post or comment, it replaces it with mentions of all group members.
 */
function wbcom_custom_everyone_mention_handler( $content ) {
    // Check if BuddyPress is loaded and @everyone is used in the content
    if ( function_exists( 'groups_get_current_group' ) && strpos( $content, '@everyone' ) !== false ) {
        // Get the current group details
        $group = groups_get_current_group();

        // Proceed only if we are in a group context
        if ( $group ) {
            // Fetch all members of the group
            $group_members = groups_get_group_members( array( 'group_id' => $group->id ) );
            $mentions = array();

            // Loop through each member to build the mentions array
            foreach ( $group_members['members'] as $member ) {
                $mentions[] = '@' . $member->user_nicename; // Prepares the mention syntax for each member
            }

            // Replace @everyone in the content with the individual member mentions
            $content = str_replace('@everyone', implode(' ', $mentions), $content);
        }
    }

    // Return the modified (or unmodified, if no changes were made) content
    return $content;
}

// Add filters to apply the custom mention handler in different BuddyPress content types
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wbcom_custom_everyone_mention_handler' ); // For regular WordPress content
add_filter( 'bp_activity_new_update_content', 'wbcom_custom_everyone_mention_handler' ); // For new BuddyPress activity updates
add_filter( 'bp_activity_comment_content', 'wbcom_custom_everyone_mention_handler' ); // For comments on BuddyPress activities

It’s not a tested code; it’s just giving implementation directions.

@investbuddy123 Based on your description of issues with BuddyPress on your WordPress site, you’re encountering problems with group updates and public messaging functionalities.

Here is a step-by-step guide to debug the issue:

Check for Plugin Conflicts: Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and BP Classic. If the issue is resolved, reactivate each plugin individually to identify the conflicting plugin.

Theme Compatibility: You’ve tried switching to the Twenty-Three theme with no success, which is good. It rules out theme-specific issues.

Inspect JavaScript Errors: Use the browser’s Developer Tools (usually accessible by pressing F12) to check for JavaScript errors in the Console tab. JavaScript issues often cause features like loading updates or activating functions to fail.

Server and PHP Error Logs: Check your server and PHP error logs for any relevant errors. Your hosting provider can assist you in accessing these if you’re unsure how.

Test on a Staging Site: If possible, clone your site to a staging environment. This allows you to test without affecting your live site.

Cache and Optimization Plugins: If you use caching or optimization plugins, clear the cache and temporarily disable them to see if they are causing the issue.

Check for Custom Code: If you have any custom code (like snippets in your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin), comment to see if it is causing the issue.

Thank you for creating this topic

I think, if possible, that the system of historiography
Change BuddyPress to the default WordPress system, it’s better
(Things like choosing the date of birth and…)

So that users who use other history systems can also benefit from it

Hi @portalciencia

Some plugins might not be ready with BuddyPress 12.0 or up. For this case we’ve built a Backwards compatibility Add-on. You can try to download and activate it to see it it’s fixing your issue:
