Hi, I’ve managed to fix this now. It is due to deprecated functions with move to buddypress 6.0
I’d recommend if anyone is using Youzer with BP 6.0 to check out deprecated functions:
https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/category/development-notes/6-0/
Had to change: xprofile_avatar_upload_dir() to bp_members_avatar_upload_dir()
Works a treat.
Hi All,
Not sure if anyone can help with this. I have spotted a bug when uploading avatar. Upload works fine, crop works fine. When clicking crop image, I then get a red error bar with no explanation. When using the console in Chrome it points to a 500 server error. When looking at network it seems to be an issue with the following file wp-admin/admin-ajax.php.
I have no idea where to look for the error here. I should add that I am using Youzer in combination with BP 6.0 and the developers at Youzer only support up to 5.2, which is not helpful. Also, the avatar does upload fine but you do not receive a message saying avatar successfully changed or words
I have FTP access but annoyingly not to wp-admin folder as it’s hosted by wordpress. Any pointers greatly appreciated on where I can look/grab code from to help decode this error further.
Thanks
Ben
Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I’m pretty new to WordPress, after using Shopify for many years.
I have BuddyPress installed on my website, but I do not like the emails that are sent to people when they sign up to my website.
I know there is a customiser in WP, but it only lets me change very basic features.
I built my own email template using HTML. When I go in to the email template (e.g. Activate Account), and paste my HTML in to the text editor, Update and Preview Changes, it just pastes my email over the existing template that I can not delete.
Is there a way to completely delete all of the BP emails, and then have my own custom HTML ones?
Long story short, I want my own HTML-based BP emails, and I do not want the templates to exist on my site.
Many thanks for your help,
Tom
I’ve tried a fresh install of Buddypress with a standard wordpress theme and can’t replicate your issue.
The following code still works for both the bp legacy and bp nouveau templates.
add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' );
Perhaps you have something else bugging it somewhere in your theme or plugins.
Otherwise it might be best just hiding it through plain css for the time being, e.g.
.buddypress #activity-mentions-personal-li,
.buddypress #activity-mentions,
.buddypress .user-nicename {
display:none!important
}
@dxyseer have you got any error logs?

Hi there, I am using BuddyPress as part of the Socialize theme and it works great! Within BuddyPress > Components > I have “Account Settings” enabled. However if a user elects to change their password they are prompted with the standard WordPress forgot password page https://prnt.sc/snqe36 and not the forget password page of the theme. Is there a way to enforce it to use the forget password page from the Socialize theme? https://prnt.sc/snqff6
Also, just curious if anyone knows what theme this BuddyPress forum site is built on?
Thanks
Hello. My first post here, sorry if this was discussed before, but I wasn’t able to find such topic. If there is one, please, redirect me.
I need to allow friendship requests only among members within the same groups. I think I saw such plugin, but I’m not able to find out if it stille exsists.
Thanks for your time.
(WordPress 5.4.1, BuddyPress 6.0.0)
After making the changes that I wanted
Change “activity tab” to “Social Wall”
Change “docs” to “Official Docs”
Hope this helps ….

Welcome mail is not going from my site as well as mails which are going have text-only ( no colors at all). I tried re-importing mail templpates and reinstalled the plugin but it’s still not working.

Thanks @vapvarun,
ticket created this morning at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8303
Have a great day !
Hi @mickysoft,
BP Blocks are coming with very generic styles, it’s possible your active theme needs some specific work in this area. I advise you to read the “Using a custom stylesheet for a BP Block” section of this development note.
@tskpbls, yes I am able to replicate the issue now.
When bbPress is active, the hidden group is not visible on my-groups tabs.
bbPress not active: https://prnt.sc/skoogl
bbPress active: https://prnt.sc/skoovq
Group counting still including hidden groups, but not visible in my group’s listing.
You can report it here
buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/report
Ok, let’s investigate further then …
I reinstalled default 2020 WP theme, deactivated all plugins (double checked) but bbpress and buddypress, although I’ve kept wpmu admin dashboard plugin… I am on a very fresh install (less than 24 hours)
I am still facing the same issue :
Link to a google drive folder with screenshots (public / private / hidden) : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MWlx_eMelveGBSK_9MHEIoLd1NJRHz1D?usp=sharing
buddypress is installed according to this codex guideline : B. Network-wide Activation – BuddyPress root blog in Secondary Site
Buddypress seems to work ok, activity, group and email tabs under admin menu of the admin network page, main site shows forum tabs only and subsite 1 (?id=2) holds buddypress frontend pages.
Soooo, maybe a clue here : Why does the group edit screen say “aucun forum” (no forum) attached to group when in the meantime I can see the forum tab and the input text boxes of the first subject when group is not hidden?
Many infos here, sorry for that, but I guess I can’t be more accurate than that in my perception of the problem.
Hope this helps you to understand the problem better.
Thanks !
@mythicaproductions try to enable the debug mode to find any possible error message.
Debugging in WordPress
there are couple of plugins for custom login page, like https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-custom-login/ you can use anyone.
Thank you so much @vapvarun! This worked. However it still shows the WordPress logo when the sign-in/log-in page pops up; anyway I can avoid this, maybe by changing a theme or something along those lines?
Hi All,
At the moment, I have buddypress linked with a social login plugin with wordpress.
However, if you register on my site using Facebook – BuddyPress automatically takes their full name as their username. How can I change it, so that a user has an option to choose a new user name on registration?
@nicourense98 To disable the login with WordPress.com follow these steps:
1- Go to Jetpack > Settings.
2- Reach the Security tab and Disable login with WordPress.com option.
https://prnt.sc/sk8n9b
I should have probably checked this first, are you actually using wordpress.com to host your site? If so I’m not sure if they support BuddyPress or not but I believe they have their own support which you may need to check in with.
@amnamn180 you can use member type https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-member-type-generator/ and with their pro version, you can also display different x-profile fields for member types.
I personally use ACF to add new profile fields into the main wordpress profile section so that I can easily get and set the meta/field key information. With that information, I can then display the data where necessary whether in an email or on the site.
However, I know you are trying to do it specifically from the Extended Profile. I have been trying to figure that out for quite some time now. It may be more complicated than a simple token call. I would love to know the answer to this myself!
