BuddyPress.org

I just found this plugin that maybe the solution you are looking for.

Blog & User Creator

I have the same problem which I will describe as follows

1. User registers by completing the form [they are at sitename.com/register]
2. They get a page saying – you have registered and please check your email to activiate
3. Clicking on the link takes them to the page sitename.com/activate which says “Activate your Account.
Please provide a valid activation key. With the field ‘Activation key” and the button ‘Activate’.
Copying the activation key from the email does NOT get rid of this page.
5. However
a. checking from and admin account shows that the user has been successfully registered (not surprising)
b. the user can navigate the sit without restriction – which they could not do before clicking on the activation email. So presumably the account has been activated – but they user is told that they still need to enter the activation key. They can log in and can navigate the site. Only the wouldn’t know that.

How to fix this? None of the advice above seems much use. Last thing I want to do is instal an unnecessary plug in when presumably this is supposed to work.

I am update to date with software as follows
WP 3.4.2
BP 1.6.1

Problem observed in Chrome and Firefox.

Thanks

WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? What plugins are activated in your install?

@donsony first deactivate bbPress from Plugins > Installed. Next, check if your bb-config.php is still at the root of your WP installation and if the DB/user information is still correct.

@obsidianmarketing 2 WP instances or 1 Multisite installation == it all depends on what kind of website you are running.

Example 1: I have 2 WP instances for an organization where the main site, http://www.example.com deals mostly with organization blog/news plus around 700 pages of general information. The subsite community.example.com is the private BP site on a second database.
Example 2: For another installation, it’s multisite and the information generated in the main site is from the user blogs.

== Since I already have WP installed on my sub-domain do I need to uninstall it on the sub-domain first? If so does that just mean that I will delete the folder that was created with the name of the sub-domain in the public_html folder? ==

Before you make any major changes to your installation, backup DB and server folders. If you believe that your organization will be better served with a multisite installation, then deactivate BuddyPress and create a network (make multisite) on example.com. Then you might want to import DB of subsite into DB of main site if you already have added a lot of information. In certain cases, you only need to import the XML export from your WP install in subsite.example.com

For more assistance should you go the multisite route, please go to https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

Is there any message shown on screen or in error logs when you attempt to activate?

Were you ever able to activate a user on your install before now?

Are you using the bp-default theme?

It might also be worth setting up a completely new and clean WP/BP install in the same hosting environment to troubleshoot.

Thanks @mercime but this is not a problem what I have asked, I know how to activate future users (WP – approve users plugin I don’t need) but I don’t know how to activate WP already registered users who succesfully registered their account but never did any activity in buddypress part , that’s why I can’t see them in buddypress directory , I have about 990 members registered who never posted any post , who never made any buddypress activity , only registered via gravity forms plugin – register user addon or registered via register page , that’s why I can’t see them in members directory where I have only 400 members, i would like to see them there all, but I don’t want to activate them one by one , so I search for some solution how to (maybe with the help of some query change some value in MySql table to get them there all),
“Activate users in Buddypress” plugin shows me all 990 users as already activated , some of them without BP activity and some of them without LAST ACTIVITY, there’s nothing to do, no button to change anything , this plugin will not help me to show them in members directory , there must be a simple query which will do it in batch for all of them, practicaly MEMBERS DIRECTORY it shows me only members with LAST ACTIVITY record , so simple query which will change that LAST ACTIVITY record will certainly help.

Two plugins which look current and could help you https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/activate-users-in-buddypress/ and https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-approve-user/
As usual, the following disclaimer applies: backup DB and files before activating plugin

@uhchurch there’s no problem. If you already have users in your WP installation for a while and just installed/activated BuddyPress, then those users need to log in at least once with BP activated in order to be “recognized and recorded” by BP. There’s a plugin – BP Disable Activation plugin – which worked before, but not sure if working on current BP version, check it out.

Yo, i understand your frustration, but debuging by the “common way” is the first thing to do.
If your install worked before upgrading and no more after, it’s logical to think that there is somewhere a conflict or a missing piece of code.
Custom themes and plugins are mostly the culprit. JS sliders, plugs with text editors are also common sources of problems.

There is no universal answer. Each site is different, each problem too.
I recently get a blank page because of a missing > in one of my template loop !
I updated to 1.6.1 and all my pages disapeared and i had to recreate them one by one.
After 4 years of BP usage, it’s just an incident. But i understand, especially it it’s the first time you run such a trouble, how this can be annoying, for sure !

On this topic, you claim all “it’s no more working.” but no one said what he did, what theme he use and what type of install he manage. All these details are missing in this topic. And so far i know, nobody here is a soothsayer. I’m not.

Other common forum user behavior: no or less feedback when a solution is found. So coming here and saying “it’s not the problem” after an answer, is not fair. If it’s not the problem, why do you ask for help ? And if it’s the problem, why don’t you explain it ?
Pages are gone is not the probleme description, it’s the problem RESULT description.

A clearly explained problem brings to a clearly solution.
I don’t know what happens for you. I only try to help you with common questions intented to guide your debug search.

Let me suggest you that if you want to know what 1.6.1 did, go to the trac and compare the version changes. It’s very easy to find this information on the Trac. But you have to read the code.

If “it’s not the problem” with common guidance as read above, may i suggest you to activate the debug mode in wp-config file. Perhaps some warnings or server information will help you further.

Sorry it’s also a common help answer. And as i’m french, sorry for my poor english.

Hello,
there is probably an error in the WP’s spanish translation. Or you use a plugin witch have an old version of tyniMCE.

Are your language settings correct ? View in wp-content and in the dashboard.
Are your plugins compatible with WP 3.4.1 and BP 1.5/1.6 ?
Debug by deactivating them exept BP and use bp-default theme during the tests.
If you find nothing, you have to search in plugins languages .po file with a text editor like notepad+ and track all special caracters and all html tags you will find in it. Sometimes > or < are forgotten by translators…
Begin pehaps by Achievements as you mentionned it in relation with profiles…

You can also try to reactivate the old BP admin bar to see if that you have the same error.
Put this in a bp-custom.php file into your plugins folder:
`add_filter( ‘bp_use_wp_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’ );`

You could create an empty text file called /wp-content/plugins/walled-garden.php, paste the following into it, then activate the plugin:
`
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Buddypress Walled Garden
Plugin URI: http://www.example.com/
Description: A brief description of the Plugin.
Version: 0.1
Author: http://www.example.com/
Author URI: http://www.example.com/
License: A “Slug” license name e.g. GPL2
*/

function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;

// if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) || bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) )

if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) )
return;

if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )

bp_core_redirect( bp_get_signup_page() );
}

add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );

function bp_remove_feeds() {
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_personal_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_friends_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_my_groups_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_mentions_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_favorites_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘groups_action_group_feed’, ‘groups_action_group_feed’, 3 );
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘bp_remove_feeds’);

?>`
Tested in bp 1.6.1

The plugin should not have spaces, blank lines, or anything else before “ and use a simple text editor ( like this ) rather than a wordprocessor….

To have a different menu for logged in users is slightly more complicated.

You need to find the template bit that shows the menu.

In the current bp-default theme header.php file is the following
`
false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ‘bp_dtheme_main_nav’ ) ); ?>
`
which can be replaced by
`
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
} else {
wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => false, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘secondary-menu’, ‘fallback_cb’ => ” ) );
}
?>
`
Then create the secondary menu in the wordpress menu admin…..

Please backup files and database before trying this out in case there are complications. It would be better to try out on a test/dev site first …..

I resolved my problem with the error of `Call to undefined function bp_displayed_user_id() in C:xampphtdocsbpwp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-corebp-core-template.php on line 1117` by:
1. reverting to the old 1.5.7 version of BuddyPress plugin
2. deactivating BuddyPress plugin – silly me for not doing this the first time
3. deactivating a BuddyPress dependent plugin ( User Name Availability Checker for wordpress/buddypress from http://buddydev.com/buddypress/creating-a-buddypress-wordpress-username-availability-checker-for-your-site )
4. then updating BuddyPress
5. and finally reactivating BuddyPress and dependent plugins
The moral of this story: I should always deactivate significant plugins such as BuddyPress before updating. All good now

I have a single buddypress blog under sub directory, I have activated 1.6 version in WP 3.4.1 but I can’t see any forum groups, etc option for users at front end. Also in admin area under BuddyPress >> Settings gives error message “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
Not even BuddyPress tab appearing at left menu.

@lunchgirl @modemlooper GRA4 has been removed from the WP Plugin Extend. It was “phoning home” without user knowing it among others #7 https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/guidelines/

@lunchgirl if you’ve already installed/activated the plugin, I can only recommend that you delete it from your installation.

BuddyPress profile fields do show by default when you visit a profile. So, it sounds like either your theme, or a plugin is causing the problem.

Did you create your profile fields from the BuddyPress menus in wp-admin?

The most likely candidate for the problem sounds like the plugin you are using to add buttons and maps to the user profiles.

Try deactivating that plugin – do the profile fields show?

Try switching to bp-default theme – do the profile fields show?

If they are still not showing — deactivate all your plugins except BuddyPress, use the default theme, and go to the Profile Fields section in wp-admin … are they definitely set up correctly in there? Are privacy settings correct? Do the profile fields show now in the front end?

By breaking your search down for a solution step by step like this, you’ll be able to determine what is causing the problem (your theme or one of your plugins).

A simple google search shows that
wp_new_user_notification is in wp-includes/pluggable.php

As @rogercoathup said:
you’d need to be a competent PHP developer to implement his hints
