This is perhaps a cross between a bug report and a feature request.
The problem is that activity updates are failing based on the comment moderation setting in WP. The feature request is for either a) an actual moderation queue in BP, or b) a more useful error message to the user.
Here’s what the problem looks like in action:
In a BP Group, when posting an activity update, commenting on an activity update, or replying to an existing activity update, if the post contains more than the allowed number of links for WP comment moderation (as set in Admin >> Settings >> Discussion >> Comment Moderation >> “Hold a comment in the queue if it contains X links”) the post is rejected with an unhelpful error message: “There was an error posting your reply. Please try again.”
I have tested this on a vanilla site with twenty-thirteen as well as a production site with lots of plugins and a commercial theme. In both cases, the posting was successful when the Comment Moderation setting was changed to a greater number than the number of links in the posting.
BuddyPress: Version 2.3.4
WordPress: Version 4.3.1
Example:
1. Comment moderation is set to “hold in moderation queue if comment contains 2 links”.
2. Go to Group >> Activity where input field says “What’s new in {{group_name}}, {{username}}?”
3. Post an update, or comment, or reply with 2 links to get the error message.
4. Change moderation setting to 3 links.
5. Activity update/comment/reply with 2 links posts successfully.
6. Now an activity update/comment/reply with 3 links gets the error message.
It’s a little bit of both.
Please post a ticket on Trac as I experienced a similar issue just this week. (Not emoji-related, but still!)
Update – There is already a ticket:

I forgot about wordpress handling registration, I’ll keep searching I might of have found something on wpmudev.
If you plan to use myCred, ask also for this on their support.
You can try this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/thecartpress/ and if you’re comfortable with php, i recommand you to experiment a bit this plugin with upcoming BP 2.4 on a local install.
Thought if the plugin hold what it promise on the description, it would be a piece of cake to intagrate it with 2.4.
Other solution is woocommerce, but it’s a big plugin. Basically, you need just a few CPT and a good tutorial explaining how to install a simple e-store on WordPress.
BuddyPress doesn’t handle the register process, it only show it and add some custom field via xprofile component.
Search on WP’s Plugin Repository or “wordpress age verification” with google. đ

Is it possible to have a lot of forums for a group, not only one ? How ?
Thank you for your help.
Do you know a wordpress o buddy press function i can use to grab all current wp user avatars and assign them to the corresponding buddypress profile? After that, I am planning to have the users change the avatar only from buddypress profile not from front end registration form.
Please help,
thank you!
Hi all and @henrywright, @mercime, @modemlooper
both plugins are now available on WP plugins repository.
Buddy Member Stats
Buddy Community Stats
Hello. I would like to get your advice or a recommendation on the best approach for a new site I am preparing to build.
I am planning to create a membership site using Paid Memberships Pro. People who join the site and become “members” will be able to keep a fitness journal or log. This fitness journal/log will be based on a custom post type with custom fields to collect or log specific information from their workouts. All of the user/member input will happen on the front-end of the site. I will not grant members access to the backend. Basically, I want to create an app based on WordPress, Multisite, Buddypress and bbPress. The main site will be a Buddypress & bbPress site allowing members to participate in this niche community using some of the Buddypress features.
One idea I am looking into is to use WordPress Multisite to create a unique subsite for each âmemberâ. The memberâs subsite would be private so that only the member has access to their unique subsite and use of the custom post type (e.g. the memberâs personal fitness journal/log site). In this scenario, members who have signed up would have access to the social features on the main site (Buddypress). Then, theyâd also have access to their personal and private fitness journal/log subsite.
I have already built the CPT as a plugin.
Do you have any recommendations or suggestions on how best to achieve what I am after?
I can set the size and default image from that article, but I’m still not sure how to display it in an img tag.
With the WordPress header image, you can display the admin header image in an img tag:
<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" />
Is there a Buddypress equivalent for the WordPress function header_image() ?

There are a number of ways to install BuddyPress in your network. Can you describe your set up?
See the Installation in WordPress Multisite article for more info.
Thanks @shanebp. We tried this and a few other hooks and still have not been able to get the appropriate activity on the stream.
It does seem like the issue with this mu-plugin solution is that not every bit of activity is getting assigned the site id in the meta data. So the filter ends up filtering out most of the activity we should see. Ultimately we are seeking a way to limit activity stream data to the site you are visiting without using multi-network plugins.
We have a wordpress multisite network with buddypress NOT network activated but only activated on specific subsites.
Do you or anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve our goals?
I guess I mean all of the forums at this url: https://wordpress.org/support/bb-login.php. But the password works fine on BuddyPress. Thanks for responding.
Hello everyone and thank you in advance for read me today.
My question, if the title isn’t so clear, is as I will explain right below.
I’m working in a multisite wordpress with two blogs, A and B.
The BuddyPress plugin is installed and active in site B, but right now I just need to get some groups from site B, in the site A, but I’m getting a fatal error trying to use BuddyPress groups_get_group function.
I think that the obvious issue is that I’m trying to use a function from a plugin that is not active in my blog A, because it is active in the blog B.
What’s the best way to do this?
Thank you a lot again.
Bests.
@maelga,
thank you for your interest. But… which plugin do you mean ?
If Buddy Community Stats, consider that messaging in BuddyPress concern firstly friends. When you’re on your profile, you can access to YOUR messages count (separated in send and received). Handling this as a global stat is not relevant to site wide activity.
Imagine a community of hundreds of members where only a handfull of members take heavy contacts. This will increase the counter, but will indicate something absolutely false about you site activity – because it is a private members exchange).
To get this count, you could use Buddy Member stats. But this plugin plays only at the member level, and his counts are not grouped to be shown to site admin.
The aim of both plugins is to provide some basic counts for community members while remaining fast (if possible) and simple, not to bring extensive metrics, graphs or analytic stats about anything happening in BuddyPress. There are probably more sophisticated plugins who can do that.
Which WordPress forum are you referring to? Can you give a link?
I can log into this forum but can’t log in to the WordPress forum even though user id and password are identical. Any thoughts, please?
I’ve not seen your issue before.
It may be a bug.
You can submit a possible bug here.
Be sure to include info about the browser you’re using and the hosting environment.
That is odd.
It’s difficult to suggest a solution when replicating the issue is nigh impossible.
But maybe more info about the issue can be generated…
Try using a WP theme like 2013, deactivating bbPress and turning debug on in wp-config.php
https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG
The file is getting uploaded to âwp-content/uploads/group-avatars/4/â but doesnât appear on the group.
Does anything appear on the group? View source or use a browser code inspector to take a close look.
I’ve also tried re-installing WordPress and disabling all other plugins.
Then tried deleting all plug-ins and re-installing WordPress and BuddyPress only, and still the same issue.
