Error – BP_MESSAGES_AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL

Hi!

I am using the theme woffice with Buddypress.

I would like to use an AJAX search for finding a message recipient.
I changed the source code: I added define( ‘BP_MESSAGES_AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL’, true );

Now the search works fine, but sending the message doesn’t work. It appears:
Message could not be sent because you have entered an invalid username. Please try again.

What can I do?

Kind regards
Alex

I changed the source code

It’s never a good idea to change the plugin’s source. You should revert that change. Any custom code snippets you might have should go into either your theme’s functions.php file or a bp-custom.php file (if you have one).

Hi!

Thanks for your answer. Yesterday I tested it without any source code modification.

Names of friends should be completed automatically (auto-complete). But it doesn’t work: I started typing a name. Buddypress searched name and founded the name. I chose the founded name. But the error was the same: “Message could not be sent because you have entered an invalid username. Please try again.”

I tried two different buddypress themes – same bug?

Kind regards

Could be theme-related or perhaps a plugin is conflicting. Try with TwentyFifteen and all plugins disabled.

Hi!

I tested: It seems to be the plugin “buddypress-global-search”!
