Hi Henry,
I’m just new with wordpress and buddypress 🙂 it’s gonna be hard for me to start coding something.
As you said, i’m gonna try to open a topic in ideas forum.
thx for your support 🙂
I’m running 2.2.0 on WP 4.1 on a local development server.
I activated Buddypress when ‘Anyone can Register’ was off. Switched it on, but the Activate and Register pages are not autogenerated as the Codex suggests they should be.
I’ve tried reinstalling and retrying with all other plugins deactivated and default WP theme 2015 activated. I’ve also followed the (now-outdated) codex instructions about template hierarchy and created copies of the template files in a child theme directory. None of these work.
I can successfully create pages ‘Activate’ and ‘Register’ in WordPress and select them in Settings > Buddypress > Pages, but both just load the home page, not ‘activate.php’ or ‘register.php’. (This is true regardless of what theme is active, so is not theme-related).
Can anyone assist?
Another option might be something like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-private-message-for-friends-only/. I haven’t used it myself, so I’m not positive it still works.
If P2 fits your needs, there is a P2-Likes plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/p2-likes/
P2 is not a standard theme. There is a lot of custom stuff going on there, so unlike most themes, you will have trouble making BP and P2 play nice.
If you need Likes on BP, this looks to be an option: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-like/
Thanks for your efforts!
We use a cmmercial theme (i.e. paid for) called DynamIX version 3.1.2 by themeva
http://themeforest.net/item/dynamix-business-corporate-wordpress-theme/113901
We do not really have that kind of background, skills, or resources to run test sites with default and other themes, and test all plug-ins against every change (I estimate we use about 50 plugins – we make sure that they are compliant with the latest WP versions, and are popular, i.e. proven on many thousands of sites).
A test site seems like a major pain in the butt, but given today’s events, may not be such a bad choice. We had expected there was more communication between developers, since WordPress and Buddypress are usied in such a HUGE number of sites – yet fairly simple updates break major stuff across many sites. So there may not be much of a choice of running a separate test site, or simply wait several weeks after new releases until the bugs are worked out – we do run another commercial security package, which may not make this too bad of a choice.
We got burned on EVERY BuddyPress update this is just by far the worst one so far. Sadly … since the software allows us to run a popular site.
It could be from the X2 theme, but it was under WordPress -> Settings -> BuddyPress -> Pages, so I assumed it was BuddyPress.
If that’s the case, I need to find a good BuddyPress-powered theme that would work for my music site until I can afford a custom one. Any suggestions?
Hi all,
At my site swagnillaice.com, when I set and save the search page, it goes back to -None- and the following message is on top:
The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Search Page. Repair
How can I get my search page to stay on the one I’ve set?
Thanks,
Nathan Pinno
Didn’t know “Featured Posts” was a Twenty Fourteen thing. Oops! 🙂
For anyone else reading, some more info on the “Featured Content” option in Twenty Fourteen can be found here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Twenty_Fourteen
Will try to look this when I have some more time.
About the member widget avatar CSS, looks like Twenty Fourteen showcases a bug 🙁
Try this patch to fix the staggering issue:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5817/5817.clear.patch
@onesmart – After looking into this some more, I would say this is a bug with the WP-reCAPTCHA plugin.
They are incorrectly using the 'wpmu_validate_user_signup' filter. You should use another reCAPTCHA plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=recaptcha
@onesmart – Can you list exactly which plugins you are using with links to the repo?
There are numerous reCAPTCHA plugins. I tried WP-reCAPTCHA by itself, but that doesn’t include any BuddyPress integration and doesn’t create the error?.
Update – Error duplicated (needed to submit the form!). Doing some more research. More to come.
What modemlooper meant to say was, try adding a custom menu under “Appearance > Menus” in the WP admin dashboard.
Follow the steps in step 2 of this codex article:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/#step-2-create-your-main-navigation-menu
did these plugins not work?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-groupomatic/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-auto-group-join/
or function
function automatic_group_membership( $user_id ) {
if( !$user_id ) return false;
groups_accept_invite( $user_id, $group_id );
}
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'automatic_group_membership' );
Hello,
and thank you for the response.
Of course we do not know how this all works with the development; but of course one would think since BuddyPress thrives on all the other plug-in developers for it, it would make some kind of an effort to communicate important changes, instead of just doing it, and saying “well if you guys don’t check our blog for changes…”?
This upgrade broke so many things, and so severely that we cannot even load the admin interfaces for both the chat and the messenger in the WP dashboard:

From the Plugin Page:

These are the (Commercial) plugins – meaning we pay for both, several hundred $ per year:
Chat:

Messenger:

We also informed the vendor in Hongkong about it (by email, since we could not submit a support ticket through the admin interface…):

We certainly appreciate every bit of help we can get!

Hi @jeremy_lv
Unfortunately, the functionality you describe isn’t available in BuddyPress currently. You could try opening a topic in the Ideas forum. Alternatively, you could attempt coding it yourself or perhaps search for a plugin in the WordPress Plugin Directory.
If you decide to go-it-alone and code yourself, then feel free to open a new topic here for each specific question you may have.
Hope this info helps!
@r-a-y
FWIW, I am testing locally, but ‘wp_remote_post( ‘https://buddypress.org’ );’ seems to return a response just fine. RSS items displayed in the “WordPress News” dashboard widget load as well.
I don’t want to this to be a red herring, so I am happy to test out any other ideas.
Hi @disha76
P2 is made by Automattic so you can be sure the theme is of the highest quality. Whilst I haven’t tried it myself, I’ve heard it offers some great features such as inline comments and real-time updates. If you notice a problem with it, then try opening a support ticket on their support forum.
Hope this helps 😀

Help, please:
besides breaking the “Links” in BP
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-2-2-and-links-page/
the BuddyPress v2.2 upgrade also broke both our Messenger (bar at the bottom of each page) and the HTML5 chat (it is called flash, but in fact is HTML5):
NSFW: http://scaffies.nl/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-chat-plugin-by-123-flash-chat/123flashchat.php?room=
It will simply no longer connect to the chat server, and block the messenger bar from loading… says “connecting …” and eventually times out.

Obviously, this is a huge disappointment to your 260,000+ users that these updates and their are not better communicated to plug-in developers, and break major features in BuddyPress installations 🙁

The code will make sure the BP Links directory page is displayed.
I think, there’s no problem with the database. It’s a good practice (i really advise you to follow) to make a backup of all your files and/or at least your database before any upgrade of your WordPress configuration.
@nomad48 what theme are you using? There is an outstanding issue with themes which use the new title feature. Have you you updated that SEO plugin? https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6107
Anonymous UserInactive
Just tested on a fresh install, i’m not able to reproduce, that’s why i’ve asked you about a specific config.
When you say “Register and Activate pages cannot be created” Have you created the pages from the Add new page WordPress menu. You need to create 2 pages there and then come back to the BuddyPress settings > Page to set for Register and Activate one of the pages you’ve created.
this was the issue before (quotes from our change log)
NSFW: http://scaffies.nl/change-log-nl/
.. and it took from SEP/OCT 2014 to now you get it sorted in this 2.2.0 release.
07 OCT 2014 – Tuesday
☠ [10:35 GMT – @scaffiesadmin ] Dumb: the previous BuxFix (known BP 2.1 issues) a few days (Oct 1st) ago, which solved a bug we had reported (GitHub), was NOT included in today’s bugfix update. Manually restored it. Hmmmpf!
☠ [09:00 GMT – @scaffiesadmin ] Updated 1 Plug-In: BuddyPress BugFix Release v2.1.1
this referred to the “enqueue” bug, which was previously discovered, and manually fixed
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5889/5889.01.patch
☠ [14:35 GMT – @scaffiesadmin ] BuxFix (known BP 2.1 issues) received: The BuddyPress people found a bug we had reported (GitHub)- some of the broken functions are now restored!
23 SEP 2014 – Tuesday
☠ [18:30 GMT – @scaffiesadmin ] Upgrading to WordPress 4 and BuddyPress 2.1 unfortunately broke some things – we reported it upstream, and hope for a solution soon.
