BuddyPress.org

@rapforthemoment You can’t put a widget on a page whether it’s BuddyPress or a regular WordPress page. You can only place a widget in a widget area.

Without knowing exactly what was done via the one click migration, it’s going to be hard to pintpoint what went wrong.

Was the one click migration intended for BuddyPress? Just WordPress? I’m not familiar with GoDaddy’s process

Hi @canadadre

There’s a very useful article that helps out with site moves. Take a look to see if there’s anything you could have done wrong when you migrated across:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

Hi @aluxi33, this can easily be done via this code

function my_disable_bp_registration() {
  remove_action( 'bp_init',    'bp_core_wpsignup_redirect' );
  remove_action( 'bp_screens', 'bp_core_screen_signup' );
}
add_action( 'bp_loaded', 'my_disable_bp_registration' );

add_filter( 'bp_get_signup_page', "firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page");
    function firmasite_redirect_bp_signup_page($page ){
        return bp_get_root_domain() . '/wp-signup.php'; 
    }

What you will need to do is first create a bp-custom.php file (make sure you add the opening and closing tags at the top and bottom ) and put it in your plugins folder, then paste the code between the php opening and closing tags and save.

This should disable buddypress registration and let you use wordpress registration as default, hope this helps.

hi @vikingpoker,

I’m sorry to hear that BuddyPress has upset you.
Members are the heart of BuddyPress and the plugin comes with anything necessary to let you manage them.

We might be able to help, would you please let us know exactly which components you activated during the BP setup ?

BuddyPress use the WordPress page system for internal purpose only. Content is shown dynamically, depending the context. When you click on a username, BP calls the pre defined member page and use the appropriate template to show the profile.

BuddyPress has also his own menu, on which you’ll find activity, members, groups so far you have activate the respective component. To access this menu, go to dashboard > appearence > menu. If you don’t see it, go to the top right corner of the screen and open the sceen option, and check “buddypress”.

You’re using a framework theme, which is not the easiest to handle if you have not much experience with WP theing. I tested it a while ago and can understand your disapointment. You may probably find good advice about BuddyPress on the Hueman support forum.

I would recommend you to use 2015 or 14 theme during the time you familiarize yourself with BuddyPress.

I invite you to read also the Codex to start with your BuddyPress.

Oh, and if you don’t understand why this is not a #1 topic in this forum, it’s probably because a large majority of user haven’t this issue. And discover here all what you can do with BuddyPress. 😉

Wishlist Member is a premium plugin so we do not have access to debug the issue.

BuddyPress 2.2.0 did make a change to directory pages that probably caused this issue to occur.

hnla is correct that you should try patching the one line in a WordPress file to see if that fixes the issue:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/version-2-2-0-and-is_page/#post-234315

Please give that a shot first and report back.

The other thing I can think of is Wishlist Member is not properly doing redirects on the correct hook. They should use the 'template_redirect' hook at a priority less than 10 (preferably 0). This is just purely speculation at this point without looking at their code.

I’m using 2.2 and when I search for ‘henry’, I appear in the list of members. That’s using Twenty Fifteen, no plugins and WordPress 4.1.

Which theme are you using?

Thanks for the reports everyone.

I think this is related to a change we made for BuddyPress 2.2.0.

I’ve opened a ticket here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6226

I’ve also attached a potential fix for this bug here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/6226/6226.01.patch

This bug is only applicable to multisite installs.

@whoaloic,

guess it’s not implemented yet, at least for MS. See #5197

Hi @gkk

I remember reading a post on BuddyDEV that helps you make WordPress SEO compatible with BuddyPress. See here for details. Hope that helps!

hi @saish_neugi,
that’s typical WP stuff. Please read here how you can do that.

And here for BP specific items

Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

If issue is still upcoming, as you use a commercial theme, please go to their official support channel.

We have no access to commercial products, so we can’t know why your theme is not working properly. The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.

Hi @sklemenc,

you use a commercial theme and need support, please go to their official support channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community, and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people to those official locations.

Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would not know why your commercial theme or plugin is not working properly. This is one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors. The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.

danbp – You’re right. My technique will work, but would get overwritten when translations are automatically updated.

I just checked and WordPress saves automatic translations to /wp-content/languages/plugins/ so we should be safe if custom BP translation files are saved to /wp-content/languages/buddypress or /wp-content/languages.

WordPress might say that there is a new BuddyPress translation, but if you’re using the custom method, then you can ignore the notice as BuddyPress will keep using the custom translation file.

To tell WordPress to stop fetching automatic translations for BuddyPress, see:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/disable-automatic-translation-updates/#post-234528

See:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/version-2-2-0-and-is_page/#post-234315

I would recommend applying this simple one-word patch to WP until WP 4.2 is released:

@jessiewordpress
I would assume they are listed as pending because they did not get click an activation in email yes.

Now does that mean that your server sent an email correctly and they actually recieved the email? Who knows.. sometimes my bp emails get auto-blackholed for some email services and users will never get an email from my bp site if they have say “gmail” or yahoo or something… (there are different methods for sending email via wordpress, some are less “flagged-as-spam-automatically” than others.. sometimes users do get the emails but they end up in a junk folder..

sometimes it’s spammers trying to setup a fake account and they never will click on activate…

if you start to get a lot of these, you might want to look into how your wp install is sending emails, what the headers look like, and see if you can adjust with something like a “wp mail via smtp” plugin or something.. and if you need to manage a bunch of pending users you might want to see if https://wordpress.org/plugins/unconfirmed/ is working with current bp version..

random thoughts, hope they help.

@jessiewordpress in a way yes. Either because the activation email got caught in their spam folder, or they have not clicked on the activation link, or they did click on the activation link but did not log in yet.

Do you know where that text comes from? I can’t find it anywhere in BuddyPress or in WordPress cores.

@jessiewordpress – might want to check out either “good question” (change default question / answers!) – or ‘buddypress humanity’ as well. They have made a huge impact on the spam registration issues we used to deal with.
