People who are having problems: as far as I know, we have never seen this problem before during testing. If someone like you had helped us test BuddyPress 2.5 in beta or release candidate stage about four weeks ago, we’d have fixed it prior to release.

We’ll get it fixed as soon as we figure out what the problem is.

I was just thinking about it…[Read more]

Cool!

There’s no way to filter or halt the action; I suppose it MIGHT be possible to intercept it inside wp_mail() but it’d be awkward.

Thanks for your feedback, @backpackersunion. I’ll let others chime in as I spent a long time working on the email feature, so it’s close to my heart, but here’s my thoughts:

Decisions, not options.
It’s much easier to add options than it is to remove options.
It’s risky to add options or features unless you’re sure what your users want, so…[Read more]

IF your translation file is up to date (have you re-downloaded the files to check?), those strings should be getting translated.

Otherwise, another option is to edit the email template. Copy buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/assets/emails/single-bp-email.php into your theme and make whatever changes you want.

BP emails enabled (the default) + WP Better Emails = email is sent in the WP Better Emails template.

BP emails disabled + WP Better Emails = email is sent in the WP Better Emails template.

I don’t know why you’re having problems with this — hopefully we’ll figure it out — but it seems like there’s something particular to your site or host…[Read more]

If the filter bp_email_use_wp_mail returns true, it’ll grab the “plain text” version of the email from BuddyPress, and send that to wp_mail(). BuddyPress does not re-implement wp_mail().

BuddyPress will also fall back to use wp_mail() if it detects that any other plugin has re-implemented that function (pretty common in email plugins), or if…[Read more]

I just updated the sample code on the thread you mentioned. I tested it and had to make a small change:

add_action( 'bp_email', function( $email_type, $email_obj ) {
$email_obj->set_from( "custom@example.com", "Custom Website Name" );
}, 10, 2 );

This ^ works for me. I put it into a file in mu-plugins for convenience.

Note: the from address…[Read more]

Yes, this is the search widget built into bbPress.

We deactivated all plugins except for bbPress, and it worked fine. Next we activated BuddyPress, and it quit working. Even when those are the only two plugins active, it doesn’t work.

Those elements are hard-coded in the template, so the latter.

Are you using W3 Total Cache?

Hi @imath!

Interesting, I noticed the relation of those three entries were breaking the plugin/widget combination I was messing around with as a workaround. I ended up getting it to work by moving the code around in relation to those files. Took me forever though, lol. I am not a coder so have no clue what much of this stuff means but can move…[Read more]

Check you’re running PHP 5.3 or higher, just in case that’s the issue.

@djpaul Hi Paul,

I have no clue what that means! Will copy my details from this ticket into a bug report when I get a chance. It’s 3:22AM so I will do so probably tomorrow.

So I just pieced some code from Buddypress 2.5.0 (previously used code from 2.4.0 files during testing) files together using class-bp-core-whos-online-widget.php and…[Read more]

It ought to work. I wrote that code but it came with the disclaimer that I hadn’t actually tested it. 🙂

If someone wants to test it and correct if it necessary, that’d be helpful, else I will try to look this weekend.

About the language of the emails, please read https://buddypress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-buddypress-2-5-master-list/#post-250547

WP-CLI is nice.

What you basically need to do is:

1) rename the old plugins/buddypress/ folder to bp-backup
2) unzip BP 2.5.0 into plugins/buddypress/
3) go to your site, into wp-admin/plugins.php. This will start the update script (it should happen instantly and without displaying anything).
4) If the new BP is working for you, you can then delete the bp-backup…[Read more]

Is this the search widget built into bbPress, or does another plugin provide it?

HTTP 500 errors are pretty bad. We’re tracking one bug that might be the cause, but if you can look in your web server’s PHP error log (or ask your host to do this for you) and share with us any error or warning messages for the time period where you tried to update BuddyPress, we can look at it and find out for sure.

I’m very sorry 2.5 didn’t…[Read more]

The very last one might be an issue, but the others need to be fixed to be sure. Those others are to do with some other plugin you have active on your site; it’s doing something at the wrong time (too early), and BuddyPress and bbPress are both throwing warning messages.

I don’t think there’s a BuddyPress bug, you’ll need to look at those other plugins.
