BuddyPress.org

Test admin bar (called Toolbar since WP 3.3) removal with one of Twenty’s theme.
It shows always on admin when logged-in, and depending the theme you use, on front-end.

WP reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/show_admin_bar

Which theme do you use ?

1. Search Engine Visibility should stay unchecked. See your-site/wp-admin/options-reading.php
2. Allow people to post comments on new articles: should be checked
   (These settings may be overridden for individual articles.) -> could be set to of by default on some themes. Posts directory > Choose Post > Quick edit > Allow comments. See your-site/wp-admin/options-discussion.php
3. Site Tracking should be checked. BP Settings > components
4. Blog & Forum Comments should be checked. BP Settings > settings

If you’re testing a fresh BP install, add some content so you’ll see how it’s displayed. BP Default Data plugin is ideal for this.

To all readers, Codex reminder when getting 404, missing BP pages, not found errors after setup or upgrade ! 😉

Settings → BuddyPress → Pages

Pages are automatically generated for the BuddyPress components you enabled in the components settings using the default slugs based on the name of each component activated. Make sure that activated components have corresponding pages assigned to each in this panel.

Directories
Associate a WordPress Page with each BuddyPress component directory.

• Activity Streams (if activated)
• User Groups (if activated)
• Members > this is core and can’t be removed/modified

Registration

Associate WordPress Pages with the following BuddyPress Registration pages.

• Register
• Activate

Note: registration is not a BuddyPress component but part of WP core.
When you allow user registration, you have to add manually these pages.

@iminjured
have you asked the ip board peeps about a login bridge? I think they had one in 2009
( https://community.invisionpower.com/topic/286227-wordpress-bridge/ )

I would guess it still works, or there is something newer.

Hi there,

I am having this exact same problem, but nothing listed above seems to fix it.

After a fresh install of BuddyPress, with groups activated, and “Enable group creation for all users” checked in the settings page; I receive a 404 Error when clicking the “create group” button on either the groups page, or in the admin panel of WordPress. Is there something i’m missing? is the group creation page built into BuddyPress or do I need to create it? Nothing about creating this page is mentioned in the codex linked above.

I also tried deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress as well as changing my theme to the “twentyThirteen” theme but still no dice. I could really use some help with this.

Stats:
WordPress Version: 4.3
BuddyPress Version: 2.3.2.1
DynamiX Theme Version: 4.3.1

like I mentioned in my first reply when this thread came out – “quick chat” works great as a basic “text chat” plugin with my buddypress sites. It’s free, and in the wp -repo – maybe if I provided a direct link -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/quick-chat/

many backend options, can display your avatars and everything. It rocks.
( I always turn off the feature that has it show up on every page of the site – I think it’s better on server resources and page speed to just have the group chat room on a static page)

Of course I still suggest reading up on the other discussions for details about other systems.

as far as using skype for your site, I think that is a short sighted choice – no privacy, no control, dependent upon third parties… I went down that road once, and not getting into that dependency again.

@shanebp, I am unable to get comments to show up in my activity feed.. I even set up a staging environment, running only Buddypress with 2015 theme…. Still no comments! 🙁

Creating a post adds a row to the activity table, but commenting on that post doesn’t do anything.. Any thoughts??

I have made sure that I have buddypress properly configured to track post comments, but it isn’t working on my live site, or the staging environment that is running default wordpress theme and only one plugin, Buddypress..

Your help is much appreciated

BuddyPress activity stream is explained on Codex:

Activity Streams

It’s a feature for internal purpose. In other terms, an activity log(journal) of your site/network only.

Site tracking has a similar target (inform users), but oriented for statistics to search engines (like Google Analytics), advertisement & banner service, ping & trackback and other things happening with help of cookies. It’s used for external purpose and need generally a plugin to be managed.

@jony89,

that is a question for the plugin author.
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-fb-autoconnect

Perhaps you have also to consider the features proposed by the premium version.

No need to be rude. I’m trying to help you by asking questions, that’s all.

As you use a third party plugin, i suggest you to deactivate it or even, to remove it completely and to test WP+BP only. Don’t know the plugin you mention, but one thing is sure, something is going wrong. On a standart install, handling pending members is generally not a problem.

WP was updated 48 hours ago to 4.3 and is working flawless with BP2.3.2.1. (i have 6 BP site running on different configuration, without issues). If your issue appeared after this update, it is possible that a plugin is now no more able to work correctly with this new release.

FYI, BRO is compatible up to: 4.2.4 and was last updated: 2015-7-21. Pretty recent, but who knows where the error comes from ? Have you asked for that issue on the plugin support ? No…

If you thing it is an issue with BuddyPress, report the bug, describe the way to reproduce by opening a ticket on BuddyPress Trac, the only place where you can expect a fix. If BP devs agree with the issue.

More about BP bugs on Codex.

1. Which forum are you using? If you migrated your forum content to bbPress, you’d have one login shared across both your forum and your (WordPress) website. Is that an option you’d consider?

It’s unclear to me how your site is installed and set up.

And you haven’t answered to have you installed both site on a same or separate WordPress ?

And on which domain is the issue ? Where can our user register (domain or sub-domain) ? Seems they register separately for each site ?

cPanel isn’t concerned, that’s your hosting management interface.

Have you installed both site on a same or separate WordPress, and same question about BuddyPress ?

Another question about 3500 pending request.

Are you sure these aren’t spammers ? Why are they pending ? Have you setup this behave or is it a sudden amount of registerer ?

Can you activate one account at time ? Or is only bulk activation defect ?

It shouldn’t matter which page you login from.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/login_redirect

Try:

BuddyPress trick: Redirect Users to their profile on login

Do you use a custom function building a widget ?
if you used the old php4 method
parent::WP_Widget( false, $name = __( 'My widget' ) );

you should now use
parent::__construct( false, $name = __( 'My widget' ) );

This can also be in a theme or a plugin. BuddyPress use _construct method and is not concerned.

If you deactivate WP_DEBUG in wp-config, the notice will disapear. And it’s only a notice, nothing will sudenly stop to work.

Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use __construct()

@chevalhack, of course it is ! This forum is installed on WP 4.3. What is not working… do you see warnings or notice ? Give details please !

@toggerybob, seems it’s your membership plugin who brings these warnings.
If it is Memberhip 2, it was updated today.
