BuddyPress.org

Could be a theme issue. Which theme are you using? Does the same thing happen if you use Twenty Fifteen or Twenty Sixteen?

You can open a bug report for this on Trac (the login details will be the same as those you use here in this forum).

BP Simple Private might be helpful?

Error: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

This happens when clicking on ‘Pending’ in Users when BuddyPress is activated only on main site of multisite install but, you can see pending users at /wp-admin/network/users.php?page=bp-signups i.e. network side.

Hi @hatherley

security [at] wordpress.org is the place to contact about this kind of thing.

The speed improvements of 7.0 are hard to resist. Apparently it’s 2x as fast as 5.6 (I haven’t upgraded yet) but if you can’t use your caching plugin yet then personally I’d wait. I reckon you’ll get a faster website with caching in place V the speed improvements of 7.0 without caching.

Earlier today I added the following to my functions.php file:

add_filter( ‘bp_activity_do_mentions’, ‘__return_false’ );

No @mention emails were generated since then. As soon as I commented that code out, within 5-10 minutes thirteen @mention email notifications went out – all with links to content that is years old (pre-import).

@shweikiart WP/BP versions? Have you tried deactivating all other plugins except BuddyPress then change to the Twenty Fifteen theme?

@reedy to my knowledge BuddyPress doesn’t implement any cron jobs, especially ones that send email.

they seem to more or less be coming out every time a page is loaded

This indicates something is hooked to init, or bp_loaded etc. But that would almost certainly be custom code because nothing in BuddyPress or bbPress would hook to those events…[Read more]

I very much doubt my install has been compromised. In fact, searching through the buddypress support forum it seems this is an issue that crops up after imports

That suggests your import script is the issue. Which script are you using?

In the mean time you could ask your host to deactivate your mail server, until you find a fix?

That should have been posted on another topic. sorry about that! I’ve deleted it from above 🙂

If you’re running vanilla WordPress, with BuddyPress as the only plugin installed and you’re sure you have no custom code in place, it may mean your install has been compromised. You should check to be sure this isn’t the case.

Just a thought, have you tried using a standard theme such as Twenty Fifteen?

Those pages don’t actually use CPTs at all which means you might not be able to use the scripts_to_footer_post_types hook in this case. Which scripts are you trying to move to the footer? It’s easy to move them manually (without the need for a plugin). When enqueuing the script, you set the 5th param of wp_enqueue_script() to true.

Some plugin developers do require more recent versions of PHP but by doing that they limit their potential number of users. The solution could be for WordPress to add an admin notice “You are using an insecure version of PHP, please bug your host to upgrade”. Then once the stats indicate a small number of are users left on 5.2, they can stop…[Read more]

Testing it with all plugins turned off and activating them one at a time it turns out WP-SpamShield was causing this persistent screen notification.

if there is a queue still, it’s in your application’s database/code somewhere

BuddyPress doesn’t queue up emails in this way. You should deactivate all custom code you’re running, that includes any import scripts or custom libraries, plugins, code snippets in functions.php or bp-custom.php and then check again if mail is being sent out.

Agreed @mcpeanut, the speed improvements alone are worth the upgrade. PHP 7 also has some useful features that us developers would love to use. Problem is, most cheap hosts will still be on something like 5.4 so we can’t use any of the new features in our plugins.

To get an idea what version of PHP WordPress users are on, take a look at these…[Read more]
