BuddyPress.org

I guess the awpcp plugin will need to add @-mention support to their comment form. Try asking this same question on their support forum.

Can you show a screenshot?

@namrons in which file this code is to be added ?

For public messages, try this:

add_filter( 'bp_get_send_public_message_button', function( $r ) {
if ( friends_check_friendship( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_displayed_user_id() ) ) {
return $r;
} else {
$r['component'] = '';
return $r;
}
} );

Try doing everything together. So you should be testing under the following:

Twenty Fifteen
No plugins activated aside from BuddyPress
Nothing in functions.php
No bp-custom.php file
Latest WP
Latest BP

That should make sure there’s no custom JavaScript running.

To take things further you could test on a fresh database.

buddypress.php is a generic template to be using. Take a look at the Template Hierarchy article for info on the various templates available to BuddyPress.

This bbPress article will also be useful: https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/

How are you changing your WordPress table prefix?

You should be able to go to Plugins > Add new in your WordPress admin area.

I’m trying to think if there’s anything else you can check. Humm? Usually in cases such as this the problem is caused by either:

a plugin
your active theme
something inside bp-custom.php (if you have one)
something inside functions.php

It’s strange things work in Chrome but not in FF. I’m wondering if the issue could be JavaScript related?

Do you have a bp-custom.php file? If so, make sure there’s no code snippets in that. The aim is to remove anything that might be causing the reg page to not work. I’ve tested on a fresh install running Twenty Thirteen and can’t reproduce the problem. Also make sure you’ve upgraded BP to the latest version.

Hi Sammy

What theme are you using and what plugins do you have activated?

Try this:

add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button', function( $array ) {
if ( friends_check_friendship( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_displayed_user_id() ) ) {
return $array;
} else {
return '';
}
} );

I’d guess that’d be a bug because the count should display site-wide. You could open a ticket on Trac for this.

Do you have code snippets in your functions.php file? Try removing those too then doing the same testing steps.
