BuddyPress.org

I suppose you know where to upload WordPress and where to upload BuddyPress.

Download BP and reload to site by FTP. No need to uninstall BP, simply deactivate, upload new copy and reactivate.

There is no mysql file !

If you have access to your DB, see what is in bp_activities table.

Are you on a MS or single WP install ?
Where is WP installed, as you linked to a sub-domain…

Is the assigned activity page empty, without any parent page or template ?

hi @norek,

perhaps you did it wrong… No worry, download directly the patched file and add/replace it into buddypress/bp-core/

Trac reference is Branche 2.2.2 > bp-core/bp-core-filters.php r9741

Bug ticket is https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6369.

I am going to close this thread because we have a similar discussion happening over here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-after-update/#post-237672

Thank you.

Bug ticket is https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6369

hi @julia_b,

you can try to apply patch 8. See here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6107

Will probably be solved in BP 2.2.2

Hi @fpvtv, @norek,

it’s actually an obvious issue which maybe solved in next update.
For now you could try to apply patch #8.
See ticket here:

Hi @alice-claire,

if the member counter shows 4.000 users and your dashboard only 2.000, wp_users table should contain around 4.000 user too.

Check this table first. Search for user status 1. In case you find some, these are probably ghost accounts.
See also wp_signup. Should normally be empty if you have no pending accounts in dashboard.

Now you can install this plugin and clean your DB.

Why would you uninstall BP and reinstall it, you even don’t know where the issue came from ?

Take a breath and stay calm. 😉

Activate Twenty Fifteen theme.
Deactivate all plugins except BP.

check for anything is correct. If it is, you can reactivate your plugins one by one, checking after each for an issue, untill you find eventually a culprit.

If all is correct, the only thing who may bring an issue at this stage is your theme.

Activate it and see the result. If you get the same issue, you should contact the theme support.

We cannot help you for this, as it is a premium theme and we have no free access to it’s code.

Please read also here, where some basics are explained.

Wide subject and several answered on this forum.

Askimet covers comment spam and doesn’t avoid clever spam bots to hit directly the DB.

Basic recommandation is to use table prefix different of the classic wp_. This calms down most bots.

A closed door is always a challenge for any spammer. WP is not fort Knox and depending your host, what YOU did and many other security details, this has no end in fact. If your site is Facebook, you’ll probably receive more spam than if it would be mykittycat homepage. Glory has a price ! 😉

Some htaccess rules against reputated spam server and one or to plugins aside what exist natively in WP should be enough to protect you a little from massive spam.

For example: buddypress honeypot + ban hammer for BP

or more simple and rought

… + searching this forum, maybe you can find more tips. 😉

The site i’m currently developing with Buddypress (my first buddypress site) is totally Ajaxed using Ajaxify WordPress Site Pro.

All profile tabs are now ajaxed as well as everything else.

There is a small issue with messaging but the plug in developer is fixing that as we speak.

Hey @mcpeanut

I don’t think there’s any reason why these shouldn’t have ajax functionality. It may well be planned, but I’m not sure? Take a look through the open Trac tickets to see if anything is in the pipeline.

Hi @andrew55,
add this snippet to bp-custom.php. Now you can use shortcode [profilo] in any blog post, blog comment, page and BP notice. Note that activity walls are stripped, the shortcode will not work/appear there.

For bbPress topics and replies, use this plugin. Read the doc, as you’ll have to check user capacity to get it to work for participant.

function bpfr_link_to_profile() {	

	return ' <a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a>';			
}
add_shortcode( 'profilo', 'bpfr_link_to_profile' );
add_filter( 'comment_text', 'do_shortcode' );

Guys I have cometchat installed on a current wordpress site and I’ve had to deactivate it after much back and forth with their support team (who are very good it has to be said).

I bought the Professional Edition and also purchased the Comet Service to reduce load on my server.

Sadly it hasn’t worked out well.

Every time cometchat gets even slightly busy (30+ chatters in a room) it brings down my entire website. I disabled comet service and tried running it solely on my own dedicated server (which is pretty powerful 12 core / 64GB ram / 1Gbps pipe + 1Gbps burst) but the same issue kept happening.

After some debugging it all boils down to the fact that, whether you have comet service activated or not, the script “calls home” to comet’s servers every time somebody loads it in their browser. The problem that was taking my site out is that their servers couldn’t handle the load and were returning 504 errors which was wiping my site out (as the comet chat scripts are loaded aright after the opening <head> tag, preventing the rest of the site from loading).

They tried a few things to fix it for me, but ultimately the script still needs to contact their servers and their servers can’t handle the requests.

It’s a shame because it is a really good script and when working, works flawlessly. The integration with WP is brilliant, although, as mentioned above, any messaging done via comet chat stays in comet chat and can’t be translated elsewhere on your site.

There is this WP chat plug in that I’ve had to revert back to (had it prior to buying comet chat) but it’s a bit clunky and is a bit of a resource pig – https://wordpress.org/plugins/quick-chat/

It does work though. Hope that helps 😉

Weebly is a site buider with his own tools to do that.
BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin. 2 different concept, 2 technologies.

The answer is no. 😉
