If the users of the site don’t care too much about what it looks like, then I would suggest switching to a theme like Twenty Sixteen. This will move you over to a “template pack” that is more modern and well-supported by the BuddyPress team.

Otherwise, there’s no danger in sticking with the existing theme, as long as it’s working for you. It’s…[Read more]

Oy, this is not a good piece of advice from the Avada support folks. You cannot put PHP into a text widget. I gave you a snippet of PHP with the understanding that it’d have to be added through code somehow.

If you haven’t got the resources to build a proper custom widget (no worries if not, it is a bit cumbersome to do), you may try a plugin…[Read more]

The fact that both of these items are happening suggests that there might be a problem with folder permissions for WP uploads. Test to see whether it’s possible to upload an item through Dashboard > Media. If not, you may want to look through a resource like this https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions to see whether anything has…[Read more]

Very interesting question.

It’s not currently possible to do this through the regular activity API. We’ve hardcoded ASC into the comment query: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.2/src/bp-activity/classes/class-bp-activity-activity.php?marks=1510#L1509

I think that it would be a good enhancement request to add something to…[Read more]

Thanks for your patience as well 🙂

I’m unsure how to debug the AJAX issue further without full access to your installation. If you do manage to figure out what’s wrong there, please drop a note here with your findings.

In the meantime, you may be able to work around this whole thing by adding the no-ajax class to the item-list-tabs element…[Read more]

Thanks. I’ve just installed the combination of rename-wp-login and lh-private-buddypress, and I’m unable to reproduce the problem – after logging in, I’m being redirected to the originally-requested page. It may still be worth a test on your end; if temporarily disabling rename-wp-login fixes the problem, it would at least narrow down what’s going…[Read more]

If you don’t see anything in your cookies, then that’s the source of the problem. BP uses cookies to indicate that you’re moving through the group creation process, and if it doesn’t see these cookies, it sends you back to the first step.

So, the question is why those cookies aren’t being set. Things to look at:

1. I assume that at least some…[Read more]

What plugin are you using to put the login at example.com/login instead of example.com/wp-login.php? It’s likely that this is involved in causing the redirect trouble.

It would help to debug if you could collect some information from your browser console. In Firefox, hit F12, and look for the Network tab (peut-être “Réseau” en français). Click the “XHR” tab, which will filter by AJAX requests only. Then, attempt to add a friend as you normally would. You should see a new request to admin-ajax.php in the de…[Read more]

Hi @plumbingsuperstore – Oof, sorry to hear about the problems, but glad your hosting provider had a way to roll back.

BuddyPress doesn’t touch user credentials, so it’s highly unlikely that BuddyPress itself would be the cause of your admin creds not working after BP was installed. I’m guessing that either there’s some user error here, or…[Read more]

Ah, so that is the issue. Something in your theme, or another one of your plugins, is causing the navigation to be rendered two times. If you’re able to switch to Twenty Sixteen or another default WP theme, you could verify that the theme is the culprit.

In the meantime, I’m not quite sure how to address the problem. Is it important for your…[Read more]

I’d suggest starting a topic at https://bbpress.org/forums – bbPress is the software that is responsible for creating the index at /forums/, and the folks over there will probably be able to give better advice about how to limit what appears there.

Hi @ovizii – Changing to a separate theme just because of a single styling issue is a pretty big step. If you’re generally happy with the way your site looks and works, it may be worth putting a bit of time into solving the specific issue, rather than looking for a larger switch.

If you do want to change, BuddyPress now supports a feature called…[Read more]

Can you say what you mean by “locked out”? Exactly what pages are you visiting, exactly what are you doing (typing user/pass, etc), and exactly what do you see?

Group descriptions are filtered at the time of saving, via wp_filter_kses(), and at the time of display using bp_groups_filter_kses(). https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.2/src/bp-groups/bp-groups-filters.php#L35

It seems like a bug that we do different things at the time of save vs the time of display, but there you have…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing the markup. So are there *two* separate list-item-tabs elements on the page? I don’t see a Members nav item here.
