That’s not how you use a hook.

function william_bp_core_activated_user(  $user_id, $key, $user ) {
     // do something with $user_id
     // there is no return for add_action, only add_filter
};
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'william_bp_core_activated_user', 10, 3 );

Hi there Justin,

I’ve run into a similar issue but in reverse.

We’re in the process of migrating an individual WordPress site with BuddyPress to a multi-site WordPress with BuddyPress.

In my case, the normal practice would be to rename the WordPress tables from wp_ to something like wp_99_* , where 99 represents one of the site IDs.

The tool I used called “Export2 Multisite”, does a great job at fixing the table names.
However, it’s not smart enough to handle the data merge of the wp_bp_* and wp_rt_* table names.

Regardless, I’m seeing the same symptoms on the site I migrated from a single WordPress install to a multi-site WordPress.

So, any help whatsoever from this community on migrating sites with Buddypress either coming FROM or TO a multi-site would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hi

We’ve been testing against PHP7 nightly releases for a long time. It helps that our PHP is newer than most of WordPress’, so we have less really old stuff to migrate.

You can view our test coverage on https://travis-ci.org/buddypress/BuddyPress/ (“PHP: nightly” is PHP7), as you can see, there’s currently a failure with one test that we need to fix. It looks fairly straightforward to fix, and we’ll do that soon.

This one test aside, to the best of knowledge, yes, BuddyPress works with PHP 7.

Good question! This is likely to being looked at by the core team.

See this post which describes what is being done by the WordPress core team: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/09/10/wordpress-and-php7/

My guess is the BuddyPress core team are doing something like that. Maybe @djpaul can add something here?

Hi,

of course, in so far that php 7 will be used by WordPress. BuddyPress’s dev follow the same route.

WordPress and PHP7

Try saving your permalinks again through /wp-admin/options-permalink.php

If that doesn’t work, turn on your debug logs for WordPress through wp-config.php and come back with the errors that show up.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bepro-listings looks good. I have not tested though.

If nothing else works:

1. Create a custom post type ‘Businesses’. You can use the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/
2. Use plugins like https://wedevs.com/products/plugins/wp-user-frontend-pro or gravity form to give users a form to submit/edit entries from front end
3. Use any of the rating/review plugins and set it up to work with this custom post type

You can disable the xProfile component and there shouldn’t be any ill effects associated with doing that. You obviously won’t get that functionality but of course you’re free to use the WordPress-based usermeta to store profile data instead.

Hi,

consider this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/

Cool idea. I haven’t seen a plugin which can do this myself. Did you check the Plugin Directory?

Hi,

try BP auto group join

This question was asked many times in the past. Search the forum. Ie.

Auto join group based on role

how to add new members to groups automatically?

3 reports in 3 weeks sounds as though there could be an issue here. Can you open a ticket on Trac?

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

You can use the same username and password that you use here in the forum to log in. Please provide as much background info as you can regarding your setup.

There’s currently also 29 themes in the WordPress Theme Dir tagged “BuddyPress”. See here. I’m not sure if any of these will be different to the themes you’ve seen already at BP Inspire, but it’s worth taking a look 🙂

Hi,

I am facing the same issue.

My WordPress version- 4.3.1
BuddyPress version- 2.3.3
Theme- Twenty Thirteen
Plugins used- Branded Login Screen, Register Plus Redux.

As an Admin, able to edit my profile but not able edit profile as an user.
And all components of BuddyPress is throwing 404 error.
Can anyone please help me as I am new to this field.

Thanks

Hi @skvirly,

unfortunately, i think nothing about your issue, except that it seems that something is interfering somewhere.

The best practice in such case is to start from the begin.
Activate WordPress and 2015 theme. Check that anything is correctly working.
Then activate BuddyPress. Re-check.
Then bbPress. Re-check.
Then, activate Sweet Date theme. Re-check.

If all is Ok, and only if all, you now have a base install of WP/BP/bbP and your theme working correctly. There shouldn’t be any notice or warning at this stage. If you got one, it’s a probleme with the theme.

If this is ok, you add one plugin. And re-check. This normally make things easier to debug.
As it is apparently related to xprofile, it could be possible that if you use contactform plugin for your register page, that something is wrong with that plugin. But this is only a hypothesis, not a certainty.

Note that php memory_limit of 128 mo is enought to run a script, when BP is running on a single install. Aside, note also it’s default for php 5.6 version.

Happy debuging.

a) If I click to “View” the message (not the html link), in the majority of cases I’m taken to the error page. I’m not clear why this is the case?

Did you happen to delete those activity items? The reason I think you are getting the error page is because those activity items don’t exist.

b) Is there a way to disable html coding in these message boxes?

Yes. You need to filter the text so that all HTML tags are stripped out. There are WordPress functions that can do this for you. See wp_filter_nohtml_kses().

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

2. How do you get the edit facility to appear under Profile? I have Extended Profiles checked. I can only see “View” and “Change Profile Photo”.

This could be a theme issue. Try activating TwentyFifteen to see if you get the edit facility appear.

3. Is there a way to disable the html coding for all of the message boxes i.e. site-wide, private, public, groups and members?

Yes, but it isn’t as straightforward as updating a setting. You’ll need to filter each one, using wp_filter_nohtml_kses() to strip out the tags, as mentioned above.

Hope this helps!
