BuddyPress.org

Hi @hatherley

security [at] wordpress.org is the place to contact about this kind of thing.

Hi,

I use buddypress for my site but its login override default wordpress login box. I don’t want it because visitors will have to sign up twice.

Can I retrieve default wordpress login back and use buddypress login in my custom page (I want to put a CTA button in my homepage directing to a login page)?

Please let me know if I have submitted a question in the wrong thread.

Thank you.

Alicia Fritz Herman.

Re WP cron jobs – use this to see what is running and scheduled:

If you’re running vanilla WordPress, with BuddyPress as the only plugin installed and you’re sure you have no custom code in place, it may mean your install has been compromised. You should check to be sure this isn’t the case.

Just a thought, have you tried using a standard theme such as Twenty Fifteen?

Those pages don’t actually use CPTs at all which means you might not be able to use the scripts_to_footer_post_types hook in this case. Which scripts are you trying to move to the footer? It’s easy to move them manually (without the need for a plugin). When enqueuing the script, you set the 5th param of wp_enqueue_script() to true.

Ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script

Some plugin developers do require more recent versions of PHP but by doing that they limit their potential number of users. The solution could be for WordPress to add an admin notice “You are using an insecure version of PHP, please bug your host to upgrade”. Then once the stats indicate a small number of are users left on 5.2, they can stop supporting it. Note though, even a 1% figure for 5.2 could amount to millions of websites (considering the huge number of WP users overall).

Also, WordPress is doing lots already by working closely with hosts to make sure they’re all aware of the PHP version they’re offering and in cases where it is very outdated, urging the host to upgrade.

All that said, JavaScript is now coming into the game 😉

Ty for this great plugin @shanebp i will try this later and leave a review on wordpress repo.

I may even be swayed to purchasing the premium version soon as the redirect would come in handy for me when restricting them.

I think the new password restrictions were a WordPress feature, not BP

Agreed @mcpeanut, the speed improvements alone are worth the upgrade. PHP 7 also has some useful features that us developers would love to use. Problem is, most cheap hosts will still be on something like 5.4 so we can’t use any of the new features in our plugins.

To get an idea what version of PHP WordPress users are on, take a look at these stats:

https://wordpress.org/about/stats/

there are various wordpress plugins that remove it completely or via useroles etc, do a search on the wordpress repository
do a search for this plugin maybe? Disable WP Admin Bar Removal

BP uses the wp_mail() function to send email. Ref https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_mail/

BuddyPress now includes PHP 7 in its tests so sites running PHP 7 should be covered:

Regarding taking advantage of PHP 7 features, the plugin won’t do that. Any feature introduced after PHP 5.2 won’t be in BuddyPress yet because 5.2 is the minimum requirement to run WordPress.

wp_bb_posts is bbPress 1, *not* BuddyPress. 🙂

I don’t know if there’s anyone interesting in working on that old versions of bbPress any more. If you haven’t already, I’d suggest posting on https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ so that at least the issue is logged.

I have published blank Register and Activate page on my site but I keep getting the error message?

@beginner3 If you have enabled registration again, then go wp-admin menu Settings > BuddyPress and click on the “Pages” tab, and in the Registration and Activate section, choose the blank pages you created and associate each with respective functions per

There is no such filter hook as messages_notification_new_message.

There is an email_subject filter hook:
$email_subject = apply_filters( 'messages_notification_new_message_subject', $email_subject, $sender_name, $ud );
But as you can see, the variables passed do not include the message subject.

So, I don’t see a way to do what you want.

There is an enhancement ticket in the works
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6460
It might expose the fields you need.

You aren’t alone in asking for a different filtering system:

Thanks for the responses Shane. I have the same issue as the user.

I am unable to delete the index.php portion of the link

I want to create the following permalink: http://localhost/wordpress/groups/

However, only the bold area can be changed http://localhost/wordpress/index.php/groups/

How do i Publish those pages?

Let me google that for you:
http://easywpguide.com/wordpress-manual/saving-and-publishing-content/

>> The”membership” option in the image on the link you posted.

@functionmunchkin The option to “allow users to register” in Network Admin > Settings is the same as the one in a single WP site’s option in Settings > General in that link.

>> Register goes the the login page and clocking the register link on there goes to page not found.
You mentioned that “I’ve setup the bp register and activate pg”
– did you set up BP network-wide or in one subsite? Reference: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installation-in-wordpress-multisite/
– have you double-checked that you created the Register and Activate pages in the main site (if network-wide) or in the subsite, then associated the pages in Settings > BuddyPress > Pages?
