I checked a shipment of update messages in activity and private, and both work well.
Working with both WordPress latest version as of BuddyPress.

@airsid,

BuddyPress in french is now 100% translated. You can download it from here:
https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/fr/default/wp-plugins/buddypress

In case the emails still remains in english, use the repair tool link at the top of the email list and start “Réinstaller les emails (supprime puis restaure les paramètres par défaut)”.

Thanks @djpaul

And here’s a gist if you’re eager to have this behavior for your Multiblog set up:

Thanks for forwarding. I wanted to confirm that was a standard WordPress email (which it was), which would have been sent through the wp_mail() function, which proves your mail service does actually work.

You can get all previous versions of BuddyPress on https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/developers/

Email delivery is a bit of black box. I am going to find or build a plugin to help us debug whether BuddyPress thinks it sent the email correctly or not.

Where is your site hosted? Is it http://intention.nl/ ?

> Then, I send a confirmation email (which was received)

Can you forward that email to me? I want to check something. You can find my email address on https://profiles.wordpress.org/djpaul/ thank you.

I’ll try to test this type of email before the weekend to confirm it should still work.
I fear this is going to be very tricky to find what the problem is.

I’ve added your idea here! https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6938#ticket

I agree with your analysis, @nyodulf!

There’s an issue in our bugtracker at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6937 where we are working on this.

It’d be helpful if you can confirm if you have the Activity component enabled or not on your site?

Thank you for letting us know.

Hi @ingeB1983

I’m sorry you’re having problems. Thank you for letting us know.

* How were you customising your activation emails?
* Is your site sending other emails correctly, or are all emails broken? Can you test to be sure?
* Are you running WordPress multisite, or regular WordPress?
* Do you run any plugins that change wp_mail or affect how emails are delivered? For example, any plugins that send email via Mailchimp, etc?

@mi423 Thanks for the feedback! And sorry for introducing a new bug. We try not to do that. 🙂

I’ve created a bug report at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6937 which you can monitor for updates, or partipicate. Our first question is: what BuddyPress components do you have enabled?

Specifically, is the Activity component *not* enabled?

Yes, the French translation needs to be updated for BuddyPress 2.5. See https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress/stable/fr/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=untranslated&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc

@brx8r Yep. 🙂

The last one isn’t a bug. Let me try to explain.

* “The Keeper” is your BuddyPress name.
* “the-keeper” is the version of your name used in URLs and for at-messages.

If your BuddyPress name looks like “firstname lastname”, BuddyPress will, by default, split that on the space into “firstname” and “lastname”, and sets those as your First Name and Last Name in the WordPress user profile (in wp-admin -> Users -> Edit).

The “What’s new” box is pretty old at this point and it must have been built to specifically fetch the “First Name”. Thus the “The” 😀

Thanks so much for your step by step guide @mcUK. I’ve followed your instructions, but am stuck on changing the CSS Selector. The theme I’m using is (http://themeforest.net/item/sweet-date-more-than-a-wordpress-dating-theme/full_screen_preview/4994573), I’m trying to put the notifications in the top menu (Welcome/Features/Forums… on the demo, but I’ve added Buddypress menu items there). Do you know which selector I would need to use for that? Many thanks.

@lanvalencia The Spanish translation still needs to be completed for BuddyPress 2.5. The new phrases for the emails have not been translated: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress/dev/es/default

Maybe you can help @_dorsvenabili get those done 😀

After the translation is updated, and after WordPress downloads the updated language pack (the .mo and .po files), go to wp-admin > Tools > BuddyPress and run the “Reinstall emails” tool.

This will reinstall the emails in Spanish for you.

Thank you for using BuddyPress!

The alternative to having WordPress posts as “topics” and WordPress comments as “topic replies” is to theme bbPress. Check out the Theme Compat article for some introductory info. You can either use an already-made theme, or have a go at developing something unique yourself.

Hi @mcuk , I’ve added Buddypress menu items (e.g. messages, notifications etc.) in my main WordPress menu, together with WordPress menu items (e.g. home). I also want to have the notification counters next to each of the Buddypress items, but am struggling to get your solution to work for me (doesn’t help I’m not that proficient in coding)! Should I add the code above to the functions.php of my child theme, and is it only that one file I need to edit?

Many thanks.

Running the dev build means you’re not getting the optimised CSS / JS files.

If you’re able to deploy with a SVN checkout instead of Git, you could use svn co https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress/tags/xxx/ --ignore-externals which will not include the bbPress folder from the checkout.

Can you try the following fix?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/10586/branches/2.4/src/bp-messages/bp-messages-functions.php

This is scheduled to be released with BuddyPress 2.5 this week, but you can try this fix temporarily.
