BuddyPress.org

I’m having trouble with getting emails to send when BuddyPress is enabled. If I disable the plugin I get registration emails, but when it is enabled I get a message on the screen saying the message was successfully sent, but the email never goes through.

I have tried installing Postman SMTP as described in this post: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/register-activation-emails-not-being-send-smtp-configuration-not-set/#post-252037

Even with Postman STMP installed, registration messages still don’t come through. They also don’t show up in the Postman logs. However, my test messages in Postman are delivered with no trouble, and password resets, etc, show up in Postman logs and are delivered successfully.

This is running on Windows Server 2012 using XAMPP
Wordpress: 4.5.2
BuddyPress: 2.5.3
Theme: Alliance

Any help is much appreciated.

Hello,

I have inherited a site that is showing a list of groups using the groups component which has a wordpress page associated with it:

Groups == Our Clubs (page title)

The page is reached by menu:

About us -> Our Clubs

The page has been titled “Our Clubs” and the breadcrumb should read “Home > Our Clubs”

However the component renames both of those to “Groups” even though the page is set to “Our Clubs”

Is there a way to make buddypress not override the page title? Presumably the point of setting a custom page is for this precise reason. Also it would be good if the solution could survive future upgrades.

For people reading this, it’s not the slug, entire component or other group pages I’m looking to rename (as has been posted elsewhere) just don’t want my custom page overwritten.

Thanks

I added a Post Tab to my Buddypress Navigation Tab Menu which displays the latest Posts and Custom Posts for each user.

Now I want to add the total number of all Posts (standard wordpress posts and CPT posts) but only standard posts get counted. What am I doing wrong?

function bpck_post_profile_setup_nav() {
	global $bp;
	$parent_slug = 'post';
	$child_slug = 'post_sub';

    $post_count = count_user_posts(  bp_displayed_user_id(), array('video','discography','post' ) );

	bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
	'name' => 'My Posts <span>'.$post_count.'</span>',
	'slug' => $parent_slug,
	'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $parent_slug.'/',
	'screen_function' => 'profile_page_show_screen',
	'position' => 40,
	'default_subnav_slug' => $child_slug
	) );
	}

	function profile_page_show_screen() {
	add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'profile_post_page_screen_content' );
	bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
	}

	function profile_post_page_screen_content() {
		do_action( my_profile_post);
	}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpck_post_profile_setup_nav' );

What’s even more confusing if I add

function my_custom_userpostcount() {
echo '<span>' . count_user_posts( bp_displayed_user_id(), array('video','discography','post' ) ) . ' Posts</span>';

}
add_action( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'my_custom_userpostcount');

to the user header, the total count number is correct, it counts all post types in the array.

Don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

WordPress DB collation install in utf8mb4_unicode_ci, but BuddyPress in utf8mb4_general_ci. Why?

It appears, based on searching the forum, that there isn’t a way to include existing users if you add BuddyPress after your WordPress site has been active awhile. Hopefully, I am just missing something.

However, on my test site, the only existing user (admin) is not recognized as a “user” by BuddyPress. Is there a magic button to push to get him imported?

My live sites definitely have more than one registered user and I would hate them to be ignored.
