BuddyPress.org

Hi,

that’s definetly a WordPress question ! Read more about this.

I have this issue too. I can’t believe that no one has responded to you in 4 months!??

It’s clearly a buddypress issue too as it doesn’t work with the theme I am using nor does it work with the default wordpress theme and apparently while it used to work with your theme, after a reinstall, not anymore.

So it’s definitely a buddypress issue but no one responds in 4 months?? How on earth are we to get what we need working if the response time is more then 4 months??

Feeling concerned that buddypress was the wrong choice. This is my first issue and it’s a bad first experience! Unfortunately I put 2 months into building this site and I can’t go back now so it looks like I’m going to have broken pieces and likely have to dump buddypress and maybe even wordpress all together and build a custom PHP site asap, unless someone gets back to yoUs soon.

I hope they do cause I’ve been having fun w/ WP and BP but functionality clearly comes before fun…

Hum, not really…
Do you use this plugin ?

Hi @kyla123,

if you use BuddyPress Login widget, you have a “Remember me” checkbox by default.

If you added an extra page just to let members log in (?), read this WP documentation and check your customization.

The nearest thing I know is https://wordpress.org/plugins/crowdmentions/ however this does not have an @all function, just friends or group members but it may help

Hi Ninja!
This is possbile, but will require a considerable amount of custom coding. You’ll need to have some code this for you, or you can do it yourself if you are comfortable with wordpress coding.

To give you an outline:
– hook into bp_core_general_settings_after_save action
– check if user is trying to change his email address
– check if its the first time user is trying to do so( using a flag in usermeta ). You probably want it for the time time only.
– delete the usermeta pending_email_change
– and update emailaddress for user

Hope it helps.

What is the error you are getting?

The user should get an email with and activation link

By the way, this activation email sometimes ends up in the Spam bin on the users email, one fix to this is to set the outgoing email address used for this email using a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/cb-change-mail-sender/

Hi,

the warnings cames probably because the logout function is called twice.
Check your theme’s functions.php or see for a specific setting.

Can you test the standard behave with a Twenty theme and BP, and all other plugins deactivated.
Remove also the custom code while testing.

If still an issue, consider this plugin. All is in the title, but it redirects to homepage on logout.

#1. You create a blank register page and then you go into the BP page settings and select that page to be used as the registration page, you also need to set wordpress settings to allow user registrations in settings>>General

#2. They are adding details to your own DB

i checked the hebrew translation available on GlotPress. It seems to me it is correctly translated.

Copy/pasting RTL strings doesn’t work here… anyway here what i get (href is LTR here – but is ok in poEdit)

@r-a-y

I found out what was causing the problem for me. I don’t know if the cause is the same for the OP.

In forum settings, I had unchecked the “Forum Prefix” box (the one that prefixes all forum pages with the root slug “Forums.”) I also had the Search slug set to the default “search.”

This left the forum search results “script” if you can call it that, pointing to domain.com/search – which I gather is the default search URL for WordPress and BuddyPress?

Without BuddyPress installed, the forum search still worked, but with BuddyPress installed – nothing. And yet, it was NOT BuddyPress, it was my own lack of understanding. 🙁

I hadn’t realized that the root search slug, without forums in front of it, would cause a problem. But I did some digging around in all this and discovered that both the twentysixteen theme, and BuddyPress, have pages called “search.php” – so naturally, domain.com/search would point to one of those scripts, and not to bbPress search results. (bbPress does not have a search.php page)

Anwyay, when I check the Forums Prefix box, and search the forums, the results page loads at domain.com/<strong>forums</strong>/search and everything works perfectly.

Unforunately I’m using a plugin for bbPress that changes the URL structure and requires me to leave the Forum Prefix box unchecked. But, I found a way around that too – in Forum Settings, I simply changed the search slug to search-results and again, everything works perfectly (and the URL for search-results is now domain.com/search-results which in no way conflicts with domain.com/search)

I have to say, had you not mentioned the search slug in your response, it never would have occurred to me that it would be the cause of all my frustration. I’m glad to have this resolved, and hope that my explanation is enough that it will be able to help anyone else who might run into the same issue.

EDIT

I’ve also discovered that I can set the search slug to forums/search which effectively accomplished the same thing as leaving it on search whilst checking the Forum Prefix box. i.e. they both return the URL as domain.com/forums/search which may not be a huge deal, but it does seem to look prettier than any other URL…

Try this hook – 'bp_before_activity_delete':
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.6.2/src/bp-activity/bp-activity-functions.php#L2770

When I try and search the forums I get no results and returned to the home page

I’m having this same problem and it is definitely an issue that is caused by BuddyPress. I’m using WordPress 4.6.1 with the TwentySixteen Theme, bbPress 2.5.10, and BuddyPress 2.6.2.

When I deactivate all bbPress related plugins, the search still sends me back to the home page. When I deactivate BuddyPress – the search works exactly the way it’s supposed to.

Is there a file in the BuddyPress theme that I can modify/remove/replace, that will correct this issue?

For #2 have you considered using one of the plugins that allow you to brand the WordPress login page?
I use https://wordpress.org/plugins/erident-custom-login-and-dashboard/
