@eddieb12180 Did you even try adding the styles I provided above? Of course you can make some changes in the registration page’s markup. Copy over the register.php file from https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php into yourchildthemefolder/buddypress/members/ folder and make the changes you want to html tags available there.

I am using a non multisite WordPress.

@livsy

I registered a new user by myself a minute ago. And I saw in his profile – he has no role for my site

This shouldn’t happen.

What is your config ? The upgrade problem concerns a non multisite WordPress. Is it your config ?

“Viewing the sql tables” means that you’ll need to export it using PhpMyAdmin for instance and send it to me.

By the way, i’ve tested BP Disable Activation Reloaded and it’s not the cause of the problem. It’s “someone” else.

@livsy if you try to register a new account, this account should have the role you defined in WordPress settings.

I’m very curious about what happened during upgrade. If it were possible i’d really like to view the users, usermeta and signups tables!

Can you see the users with no role in your users list ?
If so, you can batch create roles for these users using the “change role to” select box on top of the users list.

i’m going to test BP Disable Activation Reloaded to see if the problem was linked to this plugin.

Hi! I am using BP Disable Activation Reloaded plugin. I deleted it (and all other plugins, except BP). But problem with user role still exists.
I set author role for new members in wordpress settings. It was a long time ago, before update to 2.0

@livsy

Just tested in WP 3.9/ BuddyPress 2.0, the role set for a new user is the one that is defined in the WordPress setting (wp-admin/options-general) > New User Default Role dropdown field.

hi @livsy

How were you doing before ? Once a user registered, you were changing the role before he activated his account ?

Or are you choosing a role different than Subscriber in the WordPress setting (wp-admin/options-general) > New User Default Role dropdown field ?

About the upgrade difficulties, were you using a plugin that was dealing with registrations, and if yes which one ?

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi! I have the same problem with admin rights. @boonebgorges ‘s fix helped me a lot. But I have another problem. This fix can’t help users which get a subscriber’s role after registration. I set an author role for all new members of my site in wordpress settings. But it had no effect.

@ksample Thanks for posting back about the plugin conflict. If you like the plugin might I suggest informing the developer about the issue so he can update it https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-like

Marking this as resolved.

I just tried mentioning 11 users on P2 and couldn’t duplicate your issue.

It appears this issue only occurs when you view the post on the frontend since you state that the correct content shows up when you edit the post.

Try the recommendation I listed in the ticket you opened:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5565#comment:1

If that doesn’t work, what other plugins are you using?

Hi Djsix,

The problem occurs because a check is added to see if a user is logged in before the activity comments block is displayed.

I’ve created a new ticket about this here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5567

In the meantime, you can override the specific template by copying wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/entry.php to your theme.

The file should reside here – wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME/buddypress/activity/entry.php. Then, make the file change listed in the patch linked in the ticket above.

@blankpoint Sorry for the troubles. The upgrade routine necessary for BP 2.0 is fairly large.

I’ll work in the upcoming weeks on improving it, but in the meantime, a few things to try:

1. Your memory limit issue is due to the fact that WP will not allow you to exceed 256M per pageload without explicitly saying you want to (regardless of your php.ini settings). You can put the following into wp-config.php to override for the admin only:

define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '1024M' );

2. Just to get up and running, you might also consider running the heavy migration manually: from the mysql command line.

INSERT INTO wp_bp_activity (<code>user_id</code>, <code>component</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>action</code>, <code>content</code>, <code>primary_link</code>, <code>item_id</code>, <code></code>
date_reco
                  SELECT user_id, 'members' as component, 'last_activity' as type, '' as action, '' as content, '' as
                  FROM wp_usermeta
                  WHERE
                    meta_key = 'last_activity'
                    AND
                    user_id NOT IN (
                      SELECT user_id
                      FROM wp_bp_activity
                      WHERE component = 'members' AND type = 'last_activity'
                    )
        );

You could split this up with a LIMIT clause in case you need to run it a few times.

The other problematic bit of the upgrade routine has to do with migrating your old signups to the new signups schema. (I’m assuming you have open registration + non-multisite.) That migration is not necessarily mission-critical, so you could skip it altogether. So, in other words, once you’ve run the ‘last_activity’ migration, you could comment out line 351 and lines 355-395 here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0/bp-core/bp-core-update.php#L351 and then reload your admin to mark the migration as complete.

Again, sorry about the difficulties. You’re running a very large BP site, and the migration tools were not up to the job.

Then, you could comment out this line: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0/bp-core/bp-core-update.php#L351

Trac ticket at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5545

@iol2014 https://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors#Connection_Timed_Out
So if you don’t want/need to fix connection time out error/s, then just delete the BuddyPress folder in the wp-content/plugins folder via FTP if you have access.

@jonbie Make sure you use the same/right selectors or more specific ones to override the styles for I assume, BP 2.0 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0/bp-templates/bp-legacy/css/buddypress.css
What theme are you using? Site URL?

I am not using BuddyPress for a forum. I am using BuddyPress for only volunteer groups on my website. I am just getting started with that. I tried to control access to the Group Page by WordPress Member Role… and running into issues. I see that persons want role control for reasons probably like mine. My site is a team membership site, it is not open to the general public. It’s not the vision of a community forum that I think persons are trying to force from their own vision of what a BuddyPress site “should be like”. 🙂 It’s like they are trying to force a square into round hole thinking that there should be no admin management by WordPress user role. 🙂 They’re thinking of an “open community”… and this is a closed community. If persons registered to my site and went to become member of a team in my team group… they would mess up my whole site and all of my volunteer structure. Not just anyone can join a volunteer team in my site.

So, enough said about why the BuddyPress vision of everyone is equal and should have power on a hosted website hosted by an individual for a specific cause… just is not a conducive philosophy to my website and my group creation.

But, here is a plug-in. I have reasons why it conflicts a bit with other things I am using… and I am not ready to implement this. But, check it out please…

Can Press Permit Pro do everything Role Scoper can do?
Press Permit Pro introduces some important new features, including custom post statuses,

. For most sites, it is a functional equivalent to Role Scoper, with major improvements in UI and performance. A few of Role Scoper’s more obscure features are not currently provided by PP Pro:

HTTP Authentication for feeds
Supplemental roles and restrictions for links defined in wp-admin/link-manager.php
Customization of NextGEN Gallery editing permissions

Role assignment for limited content date range (but membership in custom-defined permission groups can be date-limited)

I haven’t tried these… I am not far enough along in my website construction. Plus, sadly, the role scoper has group request and add… the new version doesn’t… and I am as stubborn as a horse lead to water that won’t drink… when asked to give up a feature I LOVE!! 🙂 I don’t want to give up that group feature I would lose from Role Scoper. So, I have not migrated.

Here’s some solutions for you that you can try, that I have read about.. but I have not tried myself yet.

**The author of these plug-ins ought to be a multi-millionaire… but lacks in sales and marketing skills. 🙂 But, I’m helping him out here for free. lol

carlsandburg – Create a WordPress menu:

@texrat – Thanks. It’s possible that other plugins would cause this sort of problem. You probably are running now, or have run in the past, the kind of plugin that would cause the behavior.

I’ve opened a bug ticket to discuss the bug and possible fixes: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5553#ticket

For anyone currently affected:
– By default, BP does not create users with a status greater than Subscriber. This issue only affects people with a role higher than Subscriber
– If your admin user account does not have access to the Dashboard, I’ve written a small plugin that you can use to repair. Instructions and code are here: https://gist.github.com/boonebgorges/4ee64723ba75caa3c7e1
– If you need to repair other users, I recommend that you use the bulk update tools at Dashboard > Users

Note that this is something that only happens during the 2.0 upgrade, so you don’t have to be afraid that it’ll happen again.

Many apologies for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience and help as we sort things out.

I am running multiple (5) single, standalone sites, but the usertable and the usermeta table are the same everywhere.

I have added the login and register redirection BP plugins and the disable activation one. I am using CubePoints, BP Followers, BP Media, BP Links, BP Extended Groups, BP Friends& Groups Suggest, BP Like, BP Group Extras, WordPress Captcha, BP Activity Refresh and Register Plus Redux (EDIT:) and W3 Total Cache.

These accounts I am using ATM are registered long ago upon the wordpress installation or in the wp admin section, I have registered an other account, but the problem is the same.

Now, I will try to restore the DB and Disable all the other BP plugins and we will see what happens.

1. This is not a bug. We have never supported screen notifications for activity comments in core. There is already a ticket for this – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5395.

2. The main activity directory doesn’t show activity comments as separate entries by default because it will clutter up the stream. This is intentional, but since people will be using activity comments more, this might be a good time to revisit this.

Here’s a quick plugin to force the activity stream to always show activity comments as separate entries:
https://gist.github.com/r-a-y/10937509

3. Good idea. Will add an enhancement ticket for this for v2.1.
