BuddyPress.org

Right. That’s WordPress 4.4’s embed feature https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_4.4

I think we added support for that to our activity stream in our last relese.
If you don’t want the feature at aall, https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-embeds/ might work.

Is it a relatively simple process?

Yes, BuddyPress is just a plugin so once you have WordPress set up you can install BuddyPress via a few clicks.

Importing members from a spreadsheet will most likely need a plugin. Try searching the Plugin Directory to see what is available.

BuddyPress can do all of these things right out of the box. Regarding point 5, you will need to disable both the private messaging and activity components. That can be done from the admin area in a few clicks.

You must have a plugin that affects how WordPress delivers email. Can you list what plugins you have active?

You shouldn’t *need* to restore your database.

@djpaul I’m assuming that doesn’t apply to every new release though?

It isn’t really a copy-and-paste example. You’ll need to be comfortable with PHP and WordPress 🙁

Alternatively though, you could look for a plugin in the Plugin Directory. Maybe the functionality you need already exists?

I took a quick look and can’t see one function. There’s probably a better way, but you could use xprofile_get_field_id_from_name( $name ) and pass that to xprofile_get_field( ... ) to get a BP_XProfile_Field object, then access its ->$group_id property.

It’s fairly easy to get the comment count for a particular user.

$args = array(
'user_id' => bp_loggedin_user_id(),
'count' => true
);
$count = get_comments( $args );

From that point on, depending on what action the user is taking on your site, you can check the count against a pre-determined figure:

if ( $count < 10 ) {

To update this thread, I’ve just added a fix for emails not sending for certain server configurations. See https://buddypress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-buddypress-2-5-master-list/ and https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6947

I think this will help many people, but I would surprised if it fixed everything for everyone. Fingers crossed!

2.) Then when altering configuration (i.e. adding add_filter( ‘bp_email_use_wp_mail’, ‘__return_true’ ); to BP_Custom), and testing again, the emails output a combination of WP Better Email and the default template with various CSS Styles altering different parts of the email with each new email sent.

BTW, this is exactly what I expect to happen.…[Read more]

Can you share a screenshot of the problem?

I’ll get it reported, but don’t expect any immediate fix. It’s beyond our immediate control.

I’m in the same boat and would love to hear some feedback on this question. It’s exciting to see Custom Post Type Tracking included in 2.5 but the documentation is a little hard to understand.

If anyone could please explain how to enable comment tracking for custom post types (in layman’s terms), it would be a huge help.

Did you keep a backup copy of your database? If so then you’ll need to use that. Then there’s the files and folders. You should be able to get the 2.4.3 zip from:

@ingeb1983 Thanks – narrows down the possibilities. I think too we’ll need to wait until 2.5.1 comes out and we can see if that made any change.
