    Hi,

    I have been having this error for couple of months or more, have narrowed it down to being a buddypress error.

    Error is
    Whenever somebody posts comments, the comments go through (i.e it does get posted)
    But as soon as user hits post button, it thinks for a min and gets forwarded to an error page(sometimes show duplicate comment).

    Any idea to solve, This is becoming a very serious issue, have been talking with Automattic as well. Can somebody help me resolve this.

    Thanks
    Manoj

    Hi,

    I am running WordPress 4.3.2 and BuddyPress 2.4.3. BBpress Version 2.5.8 . Issue started happening couple of versions back. Installed in the root (using Xampp) It was working fine before wordpress/buddypress upgrade past summer.

    Issue is whenever user post a comment, it think for a second and gives out an error.
    Error, sometimes on some browser is just a error page, sometimes it s shows duplicate post error.

    But when I go back refresh the page. The comment was published. So something is happening after comment gets published and it has to redirect to the page.

    I have a bunch of plugins installed, but as rule of elimination I tried different combination. by removing and putting in plugin one by one.
    Conclusion issue is with WordPress/Buddypress/Akisment combo. with just wordpress and akismet it worked. just wordpress and buddypress it worked. With all three issue reappears, I have been troubleshooting it with Akismet first, But does not look like they are causing the issue.

    I can give access to my site to one of the moderators or developer if it helps.This issue is kind of becoming critical now.

    Thanks
    Manoj

    Issue is whenever user post a comment


    @mjc82in
    Just so we’re clear, when you say “post a comment”, do you mean post a comment in the comment form of a blog post? If so, that could be an issue with a theme which needs to be updated to be compatible with the latest WP and BP versions.

    What theme are you using? Have you tried changing to the Twenty Fifteen theme and check if issue is resolved?

    I can give access to my site to one of the moderators or developer if it helps.

    We will ask for a throw-away (not admin) account should the need arise. But at this stage, it’s looking to be a theme issue, not a BuddyPress bug. So your problem is not resolved by changing the theme, do provide answers to all the questions in the link I gave you so we can see the overall structure of your installation.

    @mjc82in

    Ok I narrowed it down further, its this line thats causing the issue.

    $comment_activity_id = bp_activity_add( $args ); (line 717 in bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php)

    Since I am not familiar with buddypress codes, can somebody help me trouble shoot this.


    Manoj Chacko

    @mjc82in

    Dug in further,
    if ( ! $activity->save() ) {
    return false;
    }
    This function in bp-activty-functions, causing the problem, I can’t think of further what else to do in terms of trouble shooting.

    @mercime
    What does this function do? commenting this solves the issue.
    do_action_ref_array( ‘bp_activity_after_save’, array( &$this ) );

    Hi,
    Any resolutions? everyone is starting to complain, as we have a lot of courses running on this and it is affecting the courses critically, to the point everyone is even considering about moving away from the platform.

    Thanks
    Manoj
