BuddyPress.org

One thing you could try though is to re-save your Permalink settings in Settings>>Permalinks, this often fixes page not found errors in WordPress

I got the same issue. I found what the problem is for me and got it fixed. The way I hosted my site is using Azure. When I created an App Service, I selected WordPress app service from Azure. Looks like there’s something wrong there. After deleting everything under wwwroot and upload files from WordPress 5.1.1 zip file, and setup again, it’s working now.

Thanks

With the BP Legacy theme the deault home page is that group activity page and members can post updates from there. With BP Nouveau this is also the default unless you configure it to have a home page. The default home page is blank and the idea is that you need to populate it with widgets or other means to add the content you want. What I usually do is add shortcodes that display the groups What’s New form ( for posting activity updates ) plus other shortcodes to display the activity updates and other group information. it’s why I created https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-group-home-widgets to allow group managers to create their own group homepage content.

I cannot duplicate your issue.

I created a Profile field called Nickname and set it to Required.

I can edit that field via the Extended tab – and it has no effect on any field on the User > Profile edit screen.

Under Settings > BuddyPress > Options, do you have this option selected ?
Enable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing

I tested then toggled that option – the behaviour was the same re your issue.

Yep tht function works for the main WordPress signup fields, not the extended profile fields. However, thinking about it what this would do would make all those fields options, so why don’t you make all the fiedls optional in your settings, then you would not get the error, obviously it means making fields you want filling out optional but the way Nouveau works there’s not really an alternative if you are going to hide them for some member types.

The alternative would be to create a multi-stage signup form where the first page takes in the basic signup information and member type then the second page displays the extended profile info specific to the member type.

BP Better Registration splits the form into sections, I wonder if that could be used to create such a signup form?

I’ve combined this code into a plugin with some extra options: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-activity-wall/

Actually, since you only need a one dimensional array, use $wpdb->get_col instead.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb#SELECT_a_Column

Please use the code button when posting code.

It looks like you are passing an array of objects and each object contains a user id.
But what you want is an array of user ids.

You can specify the output type of get_results.
Read: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb#SELECT_Generic_Results

Or you could loop thru your current results and create an array of the type expected by messages_new_message and then pass it to your send_msg function.

It’s not something I’ve experience at but my first choice would be to take a look at an exisiting plugin doing something similar and use that as a template. Something like creating a merge of https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-xprofile-rich-text-field/ and the bp code for creating a date field.

What you could do is apply to translate that text, otherwise it’s a case of waiting until someone else does.

translate.wordpress.org (GlotPress)

The original english in those files it sent to a file called buddypress.pot, from this the WordPress translators create country specific .mo files. I’m wondering if the language file for your country is missing this translation. It could very well be the case as this was only recently introduced.

If you go to Appearance/Menus in WP Admin, you should be able to edit the menu and delete those links. While you are there, click on Page Options on the top right of the page and make sure BuddyPress is checked.

Note: it looks like you have multiple menus so you will have to select the correct menu to edit.

Then you should see the BuddyPress menu links meta-box and you will see there’s a login link you can add to the menu. That should sort out your BuddyPress login, same with Register.

I’ve got a site buddyuser dot com, I’ve created a beginners introduction to BuddyPress, you might want to take a look at that.

It’s possible to hide menu links that you don’t want the general public to know about. There’s a few plugins that do this but one I use is https://wordpress.org/plugins/nav-menu-roles/ this adds a handy checkbox to allow you to stipulate who can see that menu item.

I think the next step is to turn on error logging and see if there’s any errors displayed.

See https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG

Also you can install an error log viewer plugin to allow easy viewing.

Then try to register again and see if any errors popped up at the same time.

I’ve just tried it using your signup details and a different email. It failed, basically it seems to not like your choice of password. As I understand it BuddyPress does not do anything to check passwords but relies on the existing WordPress functions. I’m wondering if you’ve added anything to reject easy passwords?

I guess what you could try it just using a username for the sender name? it just needs to be different to WordPress

I reckon that one fails because the email is gmail and gmail blocks emails from wordpress@yoursitename

I’d try changing your sender name with CB Change Email Sender

Hi there,

Are you talking about a category assigned to a WordPress post? Or are you looking to assign categories to activity posts and filter on that?

Hi there,

Have you tried https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-featured-members/ ? Seems a lot easier than trying to write your own plugin.

I’ve not seen a support thread involving bp-default in years, I generally recommend testing with a WordPress default theme such as 2019 or 2017. I’ve not seen anything to say you shouldn’t use it but I think if you do then you will be in an elite club.
