BuddyPress.org

I have the same problem. The lack of community support makes me feel this plugin may not be worth the effort.

When you check the manage signups the new registered user is awaiting to be activated. It shows that an email has been sent. After you try and resend the activation email. It does trigger and add to the count – showing two emails sent. So it would seem most of the functionality is working. If I deactivate the plugin, my wordpress email notifications is working. I’ve checked the spam folder, and even tried non-gmail accounts and still getting no activation emails at all. However, I have received a buddypress notification when another member does a mention. So it appears some kind of small bug is the problem.

Does any of the core developers for BuddyPress check theses support forums?

The easiest approach, imo, would be to remove the current member search input from the members directory.
For example, create an overload of this file and delete the code re member search:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\index.php

Then get this plugin: BP Profile Search
And configure a custom member search that only includes the fields you want.

I think you’ve identified a bug with the registration form, it misleadingly gives the impression that the visibility for the Name field can be changed. Wuld you mind raising a bug report on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ ? Also you can use the same link to raise your feature request.

I had to disable my child theme temporarily for some other issues after a recent theme/wordpress update and have lost some of my customizations. Becasue of this I now have the same issue but I don’t want it to show in the directory. I managed to remove it from my profile pages. I am using bp legacy though not nouveau. I tried your snippet with the snipit plugin and then tried it by editing the snipet to say buddypress_legacy but still not working. Any thoughts?

I also noticed that now on the right column people’s names wrap right like they are doing on that page if the screen is full? Any snipits for that that I can use until I get my child theme back running properly?

I have even modified the original message in bp-core-functions.php

There are 4 instances of that string in that file. Did you change all of them ?

As you should know – editing core files is not a good idea.
That string is in the buddypress.pot file.
And it seems to be in the buddypress-fr_FR files.

So I do not know why you are having issues.
Have you tried using the Repair Tool – …/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bp-tools > Reinstall emails (delete and restore from defaults).

Please ask questions about bbPress on their support forums.

It’s not easy to figure out what you are doing – or more importantly why.

I suggest you not use pre_get_posts.
Instead write your own WP_Query on your custom page.

This thread is now closed due to being off-topic for these forums.

This is a BuddyPress forum.
Questions specific to WordPress should be asked on the WP support forums.

I cannot duplicate your issues. There is something else happening on your installation.

With the code in place I’m unable to search the user database in the WP dashboard – instead of search results it displays a blank page.

The blank page indicates an error.
You could turn on WP Debug and then try another search and then check your error log. Once you’ve generated the errors, you can turn off debug.

Possibly the issue is that it’s trying to call that function to early in the wordpress load process.

@designcornerdev Multisite database has lots of tables which are not covered by site-specific search and replace plugin in most of the cases. You can try https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/. Make sure you have a database backup before doing any real changes inside the database.

It’s difficult to debug from just that error message.
But it is a generic error that is only sent when the message fails and the error is not a WP error.
From your description, the error is specific to a single site, so something has changed on that site or on your hosting plan.
Using WP_DEBUG may give more info.

@vivekmathur1969 you can migrate site or upgrade to VPS anytime just like regular WordPress website migration.

Hi, I’m even newbier (?) than @cvtbrian in that I’m just starting up with a brand new community (ie zero traffic), and plan to use Buddypress + Woocommerce, plus maybe 20-25 other plugins. I was planning to sign up for Managed WordPress hosting by Godaddy, but then i read in the BP codex/ getting started that “WordPress should be installed manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. and NOT via webhost scripts (fantastico, softalicious, etc.)which bring about numerous issues when BuddyPress is activated” – and apparently teh managed hosting doesnt allow that, so the Godaddy rep told me then i need to look at Linux hosting.
Has anyone tried BP with Godaddy Managed hosting, and would it be okay to start with shared hosting considering traffic will be very low initially (but BP+WC+plugins would need to work reasonably fast)?
If i take shared hosting now, will it be easy to move to VPS later as traffic increases?
thanks a ton for any inputs!

@lunarayven You can check following codes and use them with Snippet plugin

Change “Activity” component’s name and slug to something else.

Other references of “activity” string at the frontend can be translated using Loco Translate

On my test system, posting that into activity does not result in an embedded video, just a link to the video. BuddyPress does not handle video and in order to have it embed then something else is running in order to do that. It could be WordPress itself as it has embed functionality but looking at the CSS of the embedded video on your site it does not look like WordPress, it looks like there’s a plugin doing it.
