BuddyPress.org

“Solution” told here works fine but requires modifying core:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/2-5-html-email-styling-not-working/

The BP Registration Options plugin forces in some way to send the emails using content_plaintext instead of content_html:

$must_use_wpmail = apply_filters( ‘bp_email_use_wp_mail’, $wp_html_emails || ! $is_default_wpmail );

It gets set to true so:

if ( $must_use_wpmail ) {

[…]
$email->get( ‘content_plaintext’, ‘replace-tokens’ )

If you visit the “Manage Signups” and send an email to the user (reminding to activate their accout), the mail is 100% HTML w/o touching anything…

Hi Paul,

Thank you for responding.

To answer your questions:

* How were you customising your activation emails?
-I was changing lines in the .pot file in PoEdit and generated a new .mo file in order to personalise the activation mail a bit more. (No core files were adjusted or changed)
-I made a change in the buddypress.min.css file

* Is your site sending other emails correctly, or are all emails broken? Can you test to be sure?
I have only sent out activation emails up to this point. To test your question, I have manually added myself as a user and activated the account. Then, I send a confirmation email which it DID send, only the sender was WordPress instead of my site name.

* Are you running WordPress multisite, or regular WordPress?
Regular WP. No multisite

* Do you run any plugins that change wp_mail or affect how emails are delivered? For example, any plugins that send email via Mailchimp, etc?
Not to my knowledge. I am currently running these plugins:

– BuddyPress
– Child Theme Configurator
– Jquery Updater
– Members
– Page Excerpt Widget
– Rating Widget
– User Submitted Posts

All of them were running as well yesterday when it still worked.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Inge.

Solution:

There is an action to hook to inside bp_core_activate_signup() that fires right after activating the account ( user clicked the link in the email ), so when the user hits /activate this will fire and reset the user_status to 3 ( 1 is spammer I guess ). Now to figure out the rest…

Here is the code ( the second function disallows the user from logging in with custom message ):

add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'custom_bp_core_activated_user' );
function custom_bp_core_activated_user( $user ) {

	if ( empty( $user ) ) {
		
		return false;
	}

	if ( is_array($user) ) {
		
		$user_id = $user['user_id'];
	}
	else {
		
		$user_id = $user;
	}

	$member_type = bp_get_member_type($user_id);
	
	if ( $member_type == 'member_type_to_manually_activate' ) {
		
		global $wpdb;
		
		$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE $wpdb->users SET user_status = 3 WHERE ID = %d", $user_id ) );
	}
}

add_filter( 'authenticate', 'custom_authenticate', 30 );
function custom_authenticate( $user ) {

	if ( is_wp_error( $user ) || empty( $user ) ) {

		return $user;
	}

	if ( 3 == $user->user_status ) {

		$member_type_name = bp_get_member_type($user->ID);
		$member_type = bp_get_member_type_object($member_type_name);
		
		return new WP_Error( 'invalid_username', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: All ' . $member_type->labels['name'] . ' accounts require manual confirmation from an admin. You might be contacted soon to verify your identity. You will recieve an email once your account is approved.', 'buddypress' ) );
	}

	return $user;
}

Well @shanebp, the call to GoDaddy didn’t go so well: they basically wanted to turn on the WP debug log which I’d enabled last two weeks ago.

In the meantime, with things somewhat stable, we’ve been turning the BuddyPress plugin on and off to add the functionality on the backend or the user profiles on the front end as one need

Clearly we are having trouble with the Kami theme update, and we’ve emailed the developers for the theme to get them working on that part of the issues we’re having. Yet there are lots of other updates are occurring all the time too, and clearly BuddyPress is the one sticking me in the side.

When BuddyPress is activated, the WP Dashboard goes white, but functionality of the plugin comes back along with all the data. When BP is deactivated (removed via sftp, actually) the functionality is lost, but the Dashboard comes back to online mode.

I’m wondering now if there is any better support than these forums.. cuz i can’t see this being more than running blind right now.

thanks @shanebp

re: your suggestions..

Turn on wp-debug and then check error logs. < I believe I did this by editing the Wpconfig.php file.. but the debug.log shows file size of zero .. so maybe I did that wrong.

— — // Enable WP_DEBUG mode
— — define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

— — // Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
— — define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);

— — // Disable display of errors and warnings
— — define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false);
— — @ini_set(‘display_errors’,0);

— — // Use dev versions of core JS and CSS files
— — // (only needed if you are modifying these core files)
— — define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);

— — /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

Deactivate bbPress and all related plugins. ~ as indicated in my post, did this in several different ways to totally and entirely isolate buddypress as the problem plugin.

Test with ONLY a WP theme like 2013 and BP ~ perhaps I wasn’t clear, but did this too.. same problem.

—- —- interesting new note —- —-

Since the folks at GoDaddy did their memory maximization steps, the error messages have stopped.. but I remembered that when the WP-Admin/Dashboard screen goes white, the site doesn’t. so I added buddypress back in, activated, got the WP-Admin white screen and see that the forums are back up and the user icons are too. so I can’t tweak the interface from the dashboard, but functionality is working slightly.

To add more to this… i am writing the method as shown below

add_filter( ‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_message’, ‘RECN_CUSTOM_activation_message’, 10, 3 );

function RECN_CUSTOM_activation_message( $message, $user_id, $activate_url ) {

$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
….
….

and the $user_id passed is the signup id ….while the WP_USER table does not have data for the signup id…
