Hi @hatherley
security [at] wordpress.org is the place to contact about this kind of thing.
Hi, this is a known “issue” i have read every single topic here, i even run a script on my database.
The thing is that in /members it only show the amount of users that had logged in after buddypress was installed. Before the Buddypress instalation i had 2000 users, now i have 4000+, so in /members the member count only counts those 4000 users.
I run a script (created a mu-plugin) that goes user by user (foreach) and gave a last_activity time stamp. (Thats what i read in lots of forums, buddypress uses last_Activity to determine if the user is a buddypress or a WP user).
Didnt work, the pre-buddypress users dont show up.
I dont know what to do, in the front page of my site im saying that the site has over 6000 users and in /members it says that are only 4000. Im losing credibility.
Other people suggested that selecting another filter like “Alphabetically” or “Last registered” should show all the users… Thats not my case.
Wordpress version: 4.3
Buddypress version: 2.4
Im using a custom theme that uses this to show the amount of users:
<div id="pag-top" class="pagination">
<div class="pag-count" id="member-dir-count-top">
<?php bp_members_pagination_count(); ?>
</div>
<div class="pagination-links" id="member-dir-pag-top">
<?php bp_members_pagination_links(); ?>
</div>
</div>
Hi,
I use buddypress for my site but its login override default wordpress login box. I don’t want it because visitors will have to sign up twice.
Can I retrieve default wordpress login back and use buddypress login in my custom page (I want to put a CTA button in my homepage directing to a login page)?
Please let me know if I have submitted a question in the wrong thread.
Thank you.
Alicia Fritz Herman.
Re WP cron jobs – use this to see what is running and scheduled:

If you’re running vanilla WordPress, with BuddyPress as the only plugin installed and you’re sure you have no custom code in place, it may mean your install has been compromised. You should check to be sure this isn’t the case.
Just a thought, have you tried using a standard theme such as Twenty Fifteen?
Those pages don’t actually use CPTs at all which means you might not be able to use the scripts_to_footer_post_types hook in this case. Which scripts are you trying to move to the footer? It’s easy to move them manually (without the need for a plugin). When enqueuing the script, you set the 5th param of wp_enqueue_script() to true.
Ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script
Some plugin developers do require more recent versions of PHP but by doing that they limit their potential number of users. The solution could be for WordPress to add an admin notice “You are using an insecure version of PHP, please bug your host to upgrade”. Then once the stats indicate a small number of are users left on 5.2, they can stop supporting it. Note though, even a 1% figure for 5.2 could amount to millions of websites (considering the huge number of WP users overall).
Also, WordPress is doing lots already by working closely with hosts to make sure they’re all aware of the PHP version they’re offering and in cases where it is very outdated, urging the host to upgrade.
All that said, JavaScript is now coming into the game 😉
How can I add a custom link to a WordPress page into the Buddypress profile page nav? (not subnav)
I can successfully add a link to a section within the profile to the nav, and to the subnav, but cannot link to a seperate wordpress page?
Many thanks

Testing it with all plugins turned off and activating them one at a time it turns out WP-SpamShield was causing this persistent screen notification.
Posted it on WordPress.org support forum for plugin: http://bit.ly/1NfTXxv
Ty for this great plugin @shanebp i will try this later and leave a review on wordpress repo.
I may even be swayed to purchasing the premium version soon as the redirect would come in handy for me when restricting them.
I’ve released a new plugin that allows site administrators to prevent non-logged-in users from accessing selected content.
You can get the free version from the WordPress Plugin Repo:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-simple-private/
Or here: http://www.philopress.com/products/bp-simple-private/
There is also a premium version that allows you to set a custom redirection URL and supports bbPress.

Thanks to @henrywright for his feedback.
I think the new password restrictions were a WordPress feature, not BP
Agreed @mcpeanut, the speed improvements alone are worth the upgrade. PHP 7 also has some useful features that us developers would love to use. Problem is, most cheap hosts will still be on something like 5.4 so we can’t use any of the new features in our plugins.
To get an idea what version of PHP WordPress users are on, take a look at these stats:
https://wordpress.org/about/stats/
there are various wordpress plugins that remove it completely or via useroles etc, do a search on the wordpress repository
do a search for this plugin maybe? Disable WP Admin Bar Removal
Hi,
So after a new user logs in to their newly created buddypress account the wordpress menu appears up to top of our website and i can’t figure out how to get rid of it! Before log in, it looks normal, but after login they have access to a wordpress style dashboard etc. See the pic below
it’s annoying as it changes the look and feel for the site, and although users don’t have admin rights to the website, it comes across as unprofessional looking in my opinion. Is there a setting or file that needs to be updated to disable the wp menu appearing?
I’m using WP 4.3.1, theme: the 7.2, BP 2.4.2
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hello,
Whenever someone sends a message or posts an activity to a user, the user email receives a message from an email similar to: wordpress@subdomain.domain.com.
I need a function where users receive an email from my domain instead. Can you please help with this regard?
Thanks
Still looking for any direction or examples where I can create a separate page (outside of the BP member registration or member profile) where members can upload and crop there avatar using the new BP_Attachment_Avatar introduced in 2.3.
The most help/up-to-date info seems to stem from this post.
@imath Would you be able to point me in the right direction? What is restricting the avatar from being uploaded on a page outside of the member profile?
Thanks!
@henrywright – My web host said there were only 164 messages in the queue last night when they looked. However, I know for a fact more than that are going out and that they’re going out every day for mentions that happened years ago. Does wordpress process this in batches or as a cron?
buddypress registration emails are ignoring my smtp mail plugin
wordpress emails go out fine using php and smtp
test emails from the plugin go out fine using smtp
buddypress emails do nothing, they dont even hit the track delivery function in my hosts cpanel where the smtp test emails and wordpress emails do.
from the actions/results here, this is a buddypress issue, I am curious if anyone has ever encountered buddypress being “stuck” with registration emails and if there is a possible fix out there?
BuddyPress now includes PHP 7 in its tests so sites running PHP 7 should be covered:
Ref: https://twitter.com/JJJ/status/673520650624061441
Regarding taking advantage of PHP 7 features, the plugin won’t do that. Any feature introduced after PHP 5.2 won’t be in BuddyPress yet because 5.2 is the minimum requirement to run WordPress.
Preferred not to hack each site’s theme or the bp plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-bar-disabler/
Removes the bp section as well. Can set by role or capability
Creating a child theme is not necessary. I figured out that if you create template files using the //Template Name you can go to the pages that BuddyPress makes and assign template pages to those pages. So you can create a file named activity.php and make it a template file and add the activity loop inside of that file. Once you have assigned that template to the Activity page in the WordPress dashboard you can then go to the BuddyPress settings and make sure that your Activity page is set up under the Activity drop down and save changes and it will work. I didn’t want to add unnecesary steps to making a single theme that did everything I needed. I will work on compiling a tutorial series on how to work with BuddyPress and then contribute it to the codex. Thank you for the response. Also if you look at the code in the BuddyPress plugin on the codebase you will see that bp-legacy is completely deprecated. There is compatibility code to not break old themes, but it is not the best way to do things.
wp_bb_posts is bbPress 1, *not* BuddyPress. 🙂
I don’t know if there’s anyone interesting in working on that old versions of bbPress any more. If you haven’t already, I’d suggest posting on https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ so that at least the issue is logged.
Hi. everyone I’m new to wordpress. is it possible to share my development site to other computer or maybe to smart phones? so that i can test it?
