Good afternoon
I have an installation with BuddyPress 2.5.3
I just updated WordPress to the last 4.7x without problems.
But when I try to upgrade the version of BuddyPress to 2.7.3 the installation is inaccessible, with error 500.
Is there a topic that should be taken into account when moving from 2.5.3 to 2.7.3?
@cofindrs,
BuddyPress doesn’t handle likes. That’s 3rd party plugin territory.
If Super Socializer has a notification option for BP users who doesn’t work, the solution is on the plugin author side.
If you think you can get a BP notification because somebody liked a post with help of Super Socializer, and there is no BP specific option in the plugin, i guess it is not possible.
Would be great to see more details about your statement: (Heateor) say that it is an issue in BP. Can you share a link to the discussion ?
Did you asked yourself for this issue on their support ? Your name doesn’t appear.
Tell me how to solve the problem. I have added menu buttons – login, logout, profile boddy Press. After leaving the site, the “login” button does not appear in this place continues to hang the “profile” button and “exit”. Although as an administrator I left the site, the wordpress dashboard is not visible, but the “profile” and “output” remains, although the way they should disappear. All updates are installed.
Hi @sand06
Assuming the file is uploaded (and handled) by WordPress, you will need to hook to wp_insert_post
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_insert_post
$post and $update will be passed to your custom function. You can use those to check if the post is a new file upload (attachment).
Hi @rglennnall
WordPress uses Plupload for file uploads, so you may want to check out that:

Hi,
do you mean this plugin ? If it is the case, you have to ask the author directly.
Or if you only want to add some comment to a content you share, you can use this plugin. It is outdated but still working (i use it without trouble since years).
it could be possible that your host plan doesn’t allow you to use BP.
it could be possible that you shouldn’t use php 7.1, as BP is not completely ready to use this latest php version.
To get sure, create a php info file and upload it at the site root (same level as wordpress)
Once uploaded, go to your-site/phpinfo.php. There you will see all information i asked you about your install. Check them and report them here please.
If you have an access to a php config via your host admin interface, go there and try to set it to php 5.6 or 7 instead of 7.1
Yes, it is not recommended to use 3rd partys automated WP installation tools. It is also not recommended to use page builders. Such tools are rarely updated, correctly maintained and often bugy… For 1.5$/mounth you can’t expect the creme de la creme, even if talented marketers try to suggest you the opposite.
Just jumping back in on this one.
I’ve been developing a large & complex WP site (60+ CPTs using Pods & BP) for the past few months on PHP 7.1. I ran all PHP 7.1 RCs and so far the only issues I’ve seen are related to BP. I’m now at the point where I’ve had to disable BP to continue development on PHP 7.1 (I need nullable types and void returns from PHP 7.1) and ignore any BP features I have on my roadmap until it’s stable (I hope soon 🙂 )
I can’t report any issues with WP-core and PHP 7.1 that I’ve witnessed.
No trying to say that BP is crappy 🙂 – just a hint that the issue may be more likely to be on BP side (especially since it seems that BBPress had a similar issue which they’ve already fixed – see my link in previous post).
The other issue I’m seeing on PHP 7.1 seems to be related to enabling Opcache and BP – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7361
Hope that’s helpful 🙂
Okay. The story is that PHP 7.1 is supported by WordPress 4.7 (or newer). Likewise, BuddyPress will need at least that version, too.
We’re currently tracking some unit test failures in PHP 7.1 (see the very bottom of https://travis-ci.org/buddypress/BuddyPress), but we’ve not figured out if they are our bugs, or some bug in WordPress core. Likewise, this do_action issue might be a regression WordPress should fix instead of us (if we’re getting caught by this, I bet many other plugins are, too).
At any rate, I’m going to try to fix the unit tests once I get a PHP 7.1 box set up (hopefully this week), and then I’ll test the basics of BuddyPress, and see what other issues crop up, and fix or report them as necessary.
I think I’d wait a month or two to use PHP 7.1 with WordPress and BuddyPress in the wild, to be honest.
Thanks for finding that one.
I’m trying to get someone from the WordPress team to confirm some details on their PHP 7.1 support, and once I have that, I’ll reply here again.
Buddypress 2.73
WordPress 4.5.3
I’m trying to add a sub-nav to Activity in the wp-bp admin bar.
Hi,
I use WordPress 4.7 and budypress 2.7.3. My site sympozjum.pev.pl
When I register as a new member, I receive activating e-mail, but in strange format which I cannot open. In buddypress there’s an option to generate e-mail in text format. I see this option and I wrote this alternative e-mail format but it doesn’t work however. E-mail is sent only in one format.
What can be wrong?
Thx
Hi,
not sure that this plugin was made to run with a defined root blog.
If you have issues with settings, you better have to ask for help on their support, or at least, read the documentation.
Hello Guys!
I have a WordPress site with Buddypress. User registration is managed by WordPress or Buddypress?
This is the problem: in my site there is a spammer (not a robot, but a person!) that registers a lot of users and uses them for creating flames. Blocking IP is useless because he has different connections (mobile, etc) and the IP changes always. He create new emails, and makes registrations.
Now I am quite expert in looking at the emails he uses. So If I could “disable” the automatic registration, and enable each new user manually, it could be ok. I mean: a user makes the registration, but doesn’t receive the email for clicking. He has to wait for me, that I see the “pending” registration and approve them manually.
Is this possible? Is this the best solution?
localhost/wordpress/index.php/members/: this is wrong and shouldn’t be used – even if you think it is working. It is not and that’s why you get a 404
This path should be localhost/wordpress/members/ or even localhost/members/
You cannot have a slug to a file followed by a directory. This doesn’t work, never and nowhere.
index.php is a file
/ is a directory
members is a directory name
Your htaccess is wrong too (at least for a standard install). Read here.
Check your local server settings first and reinstall correctly WordPress.
They’re hundreds of tutorials on the web. Select a recent one (> 2015) and follow the instructions.
i’m enabling in permalinks setting the custom Structure with this value : /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ .
this is the permalink for my member page : localhost/wordpress/index.php/members/ (it’s working showing all members)
and this is my htaccess in www/wordpress
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
If you are using latest WordPres (4.7). Then use custom WP-API endpoint to post content from cross domain. https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/
You will have to authenticate somehow, preferably oauth. https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api-oauth1/
https://v2.wp-api.org
https://oauth1.wp-api.org
I mentionned “groups” because you asked about forum – usually bp+forum is group forum…
What have you entered as site url in WP settings and what do you have in htaccess file ?
Did you enabled pretty permalinks ?
What is the permalink of your members page ? (the one under the page title, when you’re on the WordPress page editor screen)
@danbp , thank you for your asnwer , but i am not using groupes .
and the http://localhost/wordpress/members/ works it shows all members . but when i click on a user i get a 404 on http://localhost/wordpress/members/username .
i get the same error when i acces any user profile link from any page on my site .
Check your forum settings and sync WP and BP users.
Usually on a local site, and standard setup, while you use BP group forum, the forum slug is:
http://localhost/groups/group_name/forum/
If you use wampp, you should have a list of virtual hosts (aka site names), where you installed wordpress. This means also that wp is at the site root. If your site is called mario, you install wp there and then you should have http://mario/ Once BP is activated, you’ll get http://mario/members/ or http://mario/groups/ and so on…
The link to the forum user/author/commenter is
http://localhost/members/member_name/
When you use bbPress as standalone forum (aside or without BuddyPress), the link looks like
http://localhost/root_forum/single_forum/forum_name/
Link to user is the same as the one indicated previously.

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums
You can also follow the bbPress install guide if you use bbPress separately.
@mohamedouqas, @vidalpaulo
if you want to change the labels for you theme you can go to your theme directory and search for these words and replace them. That’s a rough, dirty trick to avoid. 😉
Much more simple, and best practice by the way, is to use the language file shipped with your theme.
Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs
But as we’re talking here about BuddyPress, most of the items are in the BP language file.
“Follower” sounds more like used by another plugin. But again, you’ll find it in that plugin language file.
2) There is a plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/
3) you’re right, this need some custom coding. Read here how to do that:
Navigation API
If you search the forum, you’ll find many examples too.
if you want to change the labels for you theme you can go to your theme directory and search for these words and replace them .
go to wordpress\wp-content\themes\yourtheme
what i do is search for each word like this ; i use CMD in that directory with this command findstr /s /n /i /p “keyword” * and it’s gonna display all files that contains that word and you can change it manually by accessing those files
2. to make user login in a custom page use ultimate member plugin there are a lot more plugin for this you just need to search for them
3. if you want to hide some activities all i can say is you gonna need to get your hands dirty with the code , but if there might be a way i just don’t know it
in my forum when they display links to the author or a user , when clicked they redirect to
http://localhost/wordpress/members/root/ (or / username depends on user )
but i get a not fount page . i have already a page named members .
im using
wordpress 4.6.1
buddypress 2.7.2
anyone have the same problem ?
thank you
Hi,
basically, you can get it by using WP’s get_bloginfo() function (read here).
There is also this BP function bp_blog_description(), which works when you’re in the blog loop.
You have also several action hooks in the blog template (bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/blogs/blogs-loop.php) you can use to insert a blog description to the blog list.
