BuddyPress.org

Same problem.

WordPress 6.2.2
Buddy Press 14.1.0
Theme Vikinger
PHP 8.3

If someone runs into this problem (as I did today). If calling groups_get_groups in a hook like “plugins_loaded” it is to early in the WordPress loading sequence, and gives the SQL error. I moved my hook from plugins_loaded to bp_loaded and the SQL error went away. This is logic as to ensure that BuddyPress is loaded we should use a hook that ensures it.

I still think that groups_get_group shouldn’t give an SQL error though…

// Check if the current component is 'activity'
if ( bp_is_current_component( 'activity' ) ) {
    echo "This is the BuddyPress activity page!";
} else {
    echo "This is not the BuddyPress activity page.";
}

bp_is_current_component( ‘activity’ )
This function checks if the current BuddyPress component being viewed is ‘activity’. Since BuddyPress 12 doesn’t use WordPress pages for components like activity, this is the correct way to detect if you are on the activity section.

Hi
I think cache issue Please remove Cacha and then check or you can try the BuddyX theme

BuddyX

You can try this plugin

BuddyPress Group Email Subscription

Please try changing your theme to the default WordPress theme (such as Twenty Seventeen). And see if the issue is solved or not. If the issue is solved, that means the problem comes because of the theme.

The best way, you contact the theme author and report this problem to them as only they can give a proper solution.

You need to install Loco Translate plugin on your website

Loco Translate

Go to Loco Translate >> Plugins, and you should see BuddyPress then. You also can check Loco Translate documentation to know how to use this plugin.

It sounds like you’ve already taken some great troubleshooting steps. Since the “Join Group” button isn’t functioning, I would recommend the following:

Check for JavaScript errors: Right-click on the page, select “Inspect,” then go to the “Console” tab to see if any errors appear when you click the button. JavaScript conflicts often cause buttons to stop working.

Enable WordPress Debugging: You can enable the debug log by adding the following line to your wp-config.php file:

php

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);

This will help catch errors that might not be visible in the front-end.

Check group creation method: If your groups were created using a plugin or demo import, try creating a new group manually to see if the issue persists. Sometimes imported data can cause conflicts.

If none of these resolve the issue, it could be helpful to explore potential theme conflicts with BuddyPress or review any customizations you may have made.

Developer Debug Tools

1. You can disable all plugins except BuddyPress change your WordPress to the default theme and see if the issue persists or not.

2. You can check if you add any custom code on the bp-custom.php or functions.php file inside the theme folder. If you have that custom code, you can remove it and see if it fixes the error or not.

Check for Javascript errors in your browser console (right click on the page and select “inspect”. and see if any errors show there that may give a clue.

Have you enabled the debug log in WordPress? If not, I recommend you install Developer debug tools, which will let you enable and view it, as well as providing a wide range of other debug and configuration tools.

Since version 12, BuddyPress has no longer used WordPress pages. That’s why you will not find a page ID on the BP pages.

A possible solution, you install the BP Classic plugin so the BuddyPress page can use the WP page.

Hello,

You can try to reinstall BuddyPress emails. It’s on Tools >> BuddyPress of your WordPress dashboard.

You also can try to install a Mail SMTP plugin and do testing to send a test email through the Mail SMTP plugin menu, to make sure if the issue comes from BuddyPress or the Sendgrid.

Hi @capexpe

I believe we’ve improved this part actually in 14.0, see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/13936.

You shouldn’t put your custom language into /wp-content/languages/plugins because it will be replaced by the official translation after it has been updated by the Polyglots team.

Custom language files for BuddyPress should be in one of the locations we are looking for:
– /wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress
– /wp-content/languages/buddypress
– /wp-content/languages

More informations are available from this documentation page: https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/blob/master/docs/user/advanced/texts.md

I’ve just tested renaming “Groupes” with “Expé” in custom fr_FR translation files I’ve included in the /wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress folder:
– /wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress/buddypress-fr_FR.po
– /wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress/buddypress-fr_FR.mo

And it’s behaving the way it should, see screenshot below:

@adjunkten I have no idea how Loco translate deals with translation files, but if you put their generated alternative language files at one of the three locations I listed above making sure they respect the WordPress default way of naming these, it should also fix your issue. Here’s the translated message for the “members-only” login page.

Building a site with BuddyPress and the Divi Theme is definitely doable, but there are some compatibility considerations to keep in mind. The Divi Theme Builder is highly versatile, but its compatibility with BuddyPress depends on how BuddyPress structures its pages.

Key Points:

Post Type Compatibility: As the Elegant Themes team mentioned, if BuddyPress uses the default WordPress post type for its pages, you should be able to edit them using the Divi Builder without any issues. BuddyPress typically generates pages using custom post types for specific content like user profiles, activity feeds, etc.

Custom Templates: You might need to create custom templates for BuddyPress pages. Divi allows for a lot of customization, so you can design layouts that suit your needs. However, the integration may require some manual tweaking to ensure everything displays correctly.

Third-Party Plugins: There are third-party plugins that help bridge the gap between BuddyPress and Divi, making it easier to customize BuddyPress pages with the Divi Builder. You might want to explore these if you encounter limitations.

Testing: It would be a good idea to set up a test environment where you can experiment with how BuddyPress and Divi work together, especially when it comes to customizing profile pages and other BuddyPress-specific content.

If anyone in the community has experience with this setup, it would be great to hear your thoughts and any challenges you encountered!
