I think the German translation is not fully 100% translated, which is preventing WordPress from fetching the latest German translation for BuddyPress.

If you are able to help translate the remaining strings, please visit:

@garprogram – This fatal error is due to some changes we made in BP v2.4.0 to give users proper feedback messages when a private message fails to send.

It looks like we might have to add some additional hooks so plugin devs can set the error message.

In the meantime, here are two things I would recommend:

1. Use the 'bp_messages_recipients' filter instead of using the 'messages_message_before_save' action:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.4.0/src/bp-messages/bp-messages-actions.php?marks=77-84#L77

2. As Henry mentioned, if you have to unset one recipient, you should unset all of the recipients to avoid the message from sending. The default error message will probably not suit your needs, so you might have to filter the error message with the 'gettext' filter temporarily until we introduce better error handling for plugin developers.

How do I remove buddyPress completely from my wordpress and restore everything as pre-installation of BuddyPress?

You can just deactivate the plugin and remove the “Register” and “Activate” pages you created at Dashboard > Pages.

You can ignore this message if you’re using BuddyPress on a production site.

To turn off debugging notices on production, set WP_DEBUG to false in wp-config.php:
https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG

This is a notice caused by a plugin that is initializing user info too early. If you want to find out which plugin is causing this, deactivate all your plugins and only activate BuddyPress. Next, activate your plugins one-by-one until you find the culprit.

One tip is to check if is because YouYupe are using different URL’s these days, I had an issue which I’ve still got where the old URL works fine but the new one does not, wordpress wraps the content in a link instead of previewing it.

I have no idea if this plugin still functions because it was last updated ~4 years ago, but check out BuddyPress Block Activity Stream Types.

I’ve got a fix ready:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/6745/6745.01.patch

Apply the lines in that patch to your BuddyPress install.

To test this, you’ll need to set WP_DEBUG to true so it will load the unminified version of the javascript:
https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG

Let me know if this fixes the problem.

We do not store avatar data in the database.

We do a look up at the files level instead.

If you want to show an avatar based on a custom avatar stored in the database, you’ll need to use the 'bp_core_fetch_avatar' filter to override how BuddyPress shows avatars:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.4.0/src/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php?marks=531-546,660-664#L531

If you just want to display a user avatar, use the bp_core_fetch_avatar() function:

echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(
    'item_id' => USER_ID_TO_GRAB_AVATAR_FOR
) );

Here is the latest error log:

Tricky task… I don’t envy your use case testing!

BP uses the WP user – but stores profile data separately. But some fields are duplicated – like name.

You may have to write profile data to both user meta and xprofile tables.
And then use a conditional re whether the BP Extended Profiles component is enabled.
If it isn’t, then pull from user meta, etc.

More info:

xprofile_sync_wp_profile() syncs Xprofile data (nickname, first name and last name) to the standard built in WordPress profile data.

xprofile_sync_bp_profile() syncs the standard built in WordPress profile data to XProfile.

Hey @alessandrat

Welcome to the BuddyPress forum!

1. Have two separate front ends for different user types (with differently configured profiles), appearances, and accesses.

Yes. This can be done with either a plugin (try searching the Plugin Directory) or coded through the Member Types feature introduced in version 2.2.

2. Have a place where shortcode could be put in so that users can take a questionnaire containing likert questions on their profile and/or while creating their profile.

Either a post, page or perhaps even an activity update all spring to mind as possible places to add it.

3. One but not both kinds of users can create their own group (public, semiprivate or private) or forum and browse/ join existing ones

The ability for all members to create new groups comes as standard.

4. One kind of user but not the other needs to be able to set up ways for the other type of user to purchase products (I assume I can use another plugin but will need a place to put the shortcode)

This will need to be either custom coded, or you may find a plugin with the functionality you need.

Hope this info helps!

I don’t know why your function isn’t working, but since you only want subscribers, there are more efficient ways to approach the task.

Here is one:
Review this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_users

Try something like:

function subscribers_only() {
   $subscribers = get_users( array( 'role' => 'subscriber', 'fields' => array( 'ID' ) ) );
   $subscribers = implode(",",$subscribers);
   return $subscribers;
}

And

$subscribers = subscribers_only();
bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . '&include=' . $subscribers )
