So we’re using the “BuddyPress Group Email Subscription” plugin, and are experiencing a bottleneck when members submit a reply to a topic within a BP group. It can take 15-30 seconds for the reply to finish, from the moment of clicking “reply” to page reload.
Looks like this is because the reply doesn’t finish posting until all notification emails are composed and sent. There’s a plugin to solve this for bbpress (AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions), but nothing I can find to solve the problem when it’s the BP email sending routine that’s being used.
Does anyone have a solution to eliminate the slow reply issue here? We want to continue using the subscriptions plugin for several other reasons, so eliminating it isn’t the solution we’re looking for.
Thanks for the help.
Plugin we’re using: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/

Hi,
BP has only a few templates who fit with almost any (good) wordpress themes, like BuddyBoss.
Firt you have to read your theme child-theme doc and eventually about BP template hierarchy.
Hi,
So is the only way to do it is to get my developer to write code and update the plugin
Afaik, yes! It is the case for any open source software as soon as it is no more maintained.
If not already done, read here
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fails-with-bp-2-7/
An alternative would be https://github.com/dcavins/hierarchical-groups-for-bp
I’m looking for a plugin that will add a simple “like button” for topic replies (that must work within buddypress group forums), but am having no luck on that front without paying for a plugin. This one is the only one I’ve found that works, but the free version only allows 1 button per page. https://wordpress.org/plugins/likebtn-like-button/
Does anyone know of any other plugins that can accomplish this, or any other solutions?
How can I disable post update for members? I don’t want members on my site to be able to post their own. I am the only one who can post on the forum. Please help. Thank you
Wordpress – Version 4.7
BuddyPress – Version 2.7.3
Theme – Beat Mix Lite
The situation is BuddyPress is incompatible with PHP 7.1 as things stand. One issue means a fix in BuddyPress (which we’ve already fixed, and will have out in a release soon, but probably after Christmas), and the other issue I’ve found (which BP sites have a realistic site of running into) require a fix in WordPress, which I hope that team will get done for WP 4.7.1.
Can you please let me know if there is any way to stop template notices such as “Friendship Requested” when I click on “Add Friend” icon on Buddypress avatar hover plugin(https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/bp-avatar-hover/)?
Also, is it possible to stop template notice when someone click on “Cancel Friendship”.
Thank you.
Hi,
It would be interesting to know why [your] developer told [you] that [your] site will not be able to manage more than 70,000 users.
Why precisely 70,000 ?
As @venutius already told you, there is no physical limit. And if you have the necessary cash to buy storage and bandwith, go ahead!
A common example for a large site running BuddyPress, is profiles.wordpress.org mentioned by lead dev John James Jacoby (in 2012). It is still the case in 2016.

Thanks for the reply.
BuddyPress + WordPress will work well when there are 500,000 users?
It is important to know before, otherwise I see already now an alternative route.
What important customizations you talking about? I’ve already been working on reducing CPU consumption etc.
Is there any simple way to filter the activity feed. Long time ago I must have used the abandoned BuddyPress Block Activity Stream Types.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/
For me one of the absolute downsides with Buddypress is it seems impossible to filter the activity feed in a simple way like a built in feature or a plugin (I’ve googled a lot and cannot find any).
I cannot be the only one who is setting up a community where the users won’t care who is befriending who etc. they would just want the latest scoop from the site in the activity flow. Any ideas of simple solutions?
Why isn’t this feature built in to the core? For me personally that would skyrocket Buddypress to a complete new level 😀
Hello,
my developer told me that my site will not be able to manage more than 70,000 users.
He says wordpress + BuddyPress have the user limits because there would be many calls to the database.
All this is true? Because if it were true I have “ruined”
You can modify the pagination (example – not tested). BP use the wordpress function paginate_link()
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/paginate_links
Sorry, but you’re on a very specific wordpress plugin support. It is not the place for such basic question (what are the short codes). BuddyPress doesn’t provide shortcodes.
This plugin is not common, and not the most easiest to use. The forum is maintained by volonteers, and unfortunately not by profesional teachers. If you are very new to BuddyPress, and apparently to WordPress too, you have to do your homework.
You can get starter information on both codex. For BuddyPress you get access to appropriate documentation via the above menu bar.
For WordPress, and specifically your question, click here.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi all,
I’m using the latest BP version along with latest WP. I don’t see an option to hold new registrants until they are approved. Am I missing something? I’ve found this plugin but thinking there is probably a native switch I’m missing somewhere – https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-registration-options/.
I just want to approve every user before they have access. Thanks.
If I have to use a plugin, what is the very best recommended?
If you create a field group called Business Details, you simply add as many fields you want!
Let’s say, you want that users can fill about 5 companies or society. In this case, you need to create a field for each input, in other words 5 fields. And if you need more details for each, you add the fields you need, one by one:
Business 1: [___]
Address 1: [___]
Office 1 hours: [___]
Business 2: [___]
Address 2: [___]
Office 2 hours: [___]
Or if you use a lot of details, you group each businness separately.
For better clarity of the default profile details output, when you have a lot of information to display, is to use this very handy plugin: buddypress-profile-tabs
Hi Guys,
same Problem on my site? I use wordpress and buddypress latest Versions and latest Version of generatepress theme. I Use my Theme as Childtheme and only on Child-theme the porblem is there. On parent theme all is fine.
Is there an Info to this Point?
Thanks and regards

Yes, my BP brothers, there’s a plugin called BP Simple Private and I think it will solve your problems, without having to work with robots.txt
Prior to using BP Simple Private, my site’s member pages were way too accessible.. You could type http://mysite.com/members <- and you’d see the whole members directory.
Prior to using BP Simple Private, you could type http://mysite.com/members/aaronthomas1979, and you’d jump straight to my profile.
With this plugin, people (or search engine bots,) will be redirected to a page of your choosing, and the member pages will not be displayed.
If you already have the issue of member pages being displayed in search results, there’s nothing you can do to immediately fix that, but make the change (get the plugin) and wait for those bots to crawl your site again, but next time, they won’t find those pages.
It works for me..
Have you tried switching momentarily to a WP theme, like 2016?
If you have and the issue still persists..
You can open a bug report here.
Be sure to include your versions of WP and BP.
This is a bbPress issue, I’ve raised a ticket on bbPress Trac that would fix the problem:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3025
oEmbed is supported by BuddyPress but maybe the embed_oembed_html WP filter isn’t used?
Can you open a Trac ticket for this?
This one is already front end enabled and I would have thought the dev’s would maybe like to make this feature a part of their plugin?
