BuddyPress.org

hey, it was working before but it recently stopped. i haven’t done anything different recently. i did install a new theme, so i switched it back to twenty twelve but still didn’t work. so the wp install works.

also, i don’t think it’s an email issue. because when i register a new user, i should be able to see them in through admin panel even if they haven’t activated their account (by clicking on email). but i can’t see new users at all.

Thank you @mercime for your reply. I have disabled all plugins and used a fresh Twenty Twelve them and the problem is still there. Thanks in advance.

@peter-kuipers

Yep, I wrote a function to do redirect users away from it. You can add this to your theme’s functions.php

function bp_redirect_away_from_activate() {
	global $bp;
	
	if ( bp_is_activation_page() ) {
		wp_redirect( $bp->loggedin_user->domain );
		exit();
	}
}
add_action('wp','bp_redirect_away_from_activate');

I mean in the WP admin area and I see it in the dashboard

and about the pic I have asked a question yesterday about re sizing the pic size in the forum https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-resize-memebrs-images-sizes/

idk what’s going on with me and why nothing is working

and about the weird characters also they are available almost in all the pages like the contact us for example it ends with #.Ue-C0PnI1FM I thought that it’s normal but I will check this out with the developer if he solve it

– Let’s test. Create a new Page named Discussions and place the forums shortcode there. Go to Settings > Forums and change archive slug to discussions. Then go to technowldgic.com/discussions/ and check out your forums

I tried this and after saving the setting the forum page became 404 error page and also I am seeing this error near the box where I wrote discussions “Possible bbPress conflict: Topics base” so I removed it and wrote forums and topics again in the archive slugs

Going back to logging in. I added the bbPress login widget to the sidebar of Twenty Twelve theme and it’s working fine even with BuddyPress activated. What are you using for your users to log in?

I don’t think I am using anything, I thought everything would come with the buddypress plugin like the log in area and everything else. what should I use?

and I am so sorry for asking too many questions and having too many problems but idk why I am so lost by installing the forum

and ty so much for ur help

@mercime

Buddypress is network activated.
I might be having another issue with my installation because the user I have created are beying saved in the database because I cant use either their username or email but when I go to users and sites on the network dashboard the users are not beying created.

I deactivated Buddypress and the wp-signup.php is not working either. Need to find somebody to verify this in a more deeper way.

The scan found only one problem, which is:

This file may contain malicious executable code
Filename: wp-content/plugins/user-meta/framework/init.php
File type: Not a core, theme or plugin file.
Issue first detected: 45 secs ago.
Severity: Critical
Status New
This file is a PHP executable file and contains an eval() function and base64() decoding function on the same line. This is a common technique used by hackers to hide and execute code. If you know about this file you can choose to ignore it to exclude it from future scans.

I wasn’t using that plugin though. It was deactivated.

I am trying to redirect logged-in users away from the activate page if they try to access it. This is what I have which isn’t working

//redirect logged-in users away from activate page
function bp_redirect_activate_to_profile() {
	global $bp;
	
	if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_activation_page() ) {
		wp_redirect( $bp->loggedin_user->domain );
	}
}
add_action('wp','bp_redirect_activate_to_profile');
