Functioning Issues

General tips for resolving issues

Clear Buddypress cache : WP admin - Settings - BuddyPress - Components - Save
Rebuild permalinks : WP admin - Settings - Permalinks - Save
Disconnect and Re-Connect directory page : Wp admin - Settings - BuddyPress - Pages , disconnect page by setting to none, save settings, clear buddypress cache as in 1. and set the directory page again.

Profile does not open or opens blank

Most likely there is profile restriction in place.

Check WP admin - WPLMS - BuddyPress - Single member profile view , make sure this is view all.
Check WP admin - Settings - Vibebp - BuddyPress - Public profile view, ensure this is unchecked.
Check WP admin - Settings - BuddyPress - Pages - Members a page is connected and it does open.
Check WP admin - Vibebp - Profile Layouts , make sure there is a profile layout.
Check WP admin - Vibebp - Profile Layouts , make sure there is a profile layout which is not connected to any member type. The latest profile layout is picked, so ensure that there is some content you have built in elementor.
Note the URL, check if there is a missing backslash, save buddypress Components at WP admin - Settings - BuddyPress - Components
Try switching to a standard Profile template at Customizer - Layouts - Profile - set to any other than last one [blank]

Error While Creating Notes From Frontend

While creating Notes From Frontend Error Shows such as "Permission Denied"

This is the Error Related to Firebase

Then Add these Rules

rules { : { "rules" : { ".read":true, ".write":true}}

Vibebp Client Id is Missing

This will be generated again. It is not a fixed value but a security parameter that we are passing in API call. You can set this value according to you as well. One thing to note down is, if you are changing this value then make sure to clear the cache, server as well as browser cache. Otherwise, it will conflict in the API call

Quizzes not loading.

Do you see multiple Quiz loaders ? like below screenshot. It means that you have outdated scripts loading. The WPLMS version 4 comes with inbuilt react Quiz, so you can disable WP admin - LMS - Settings. Or simply use the Bootstrap 4 or No Jquery mode in WP admin - WPLMS - Misc.

Make sure you have added your domain name TLD in firebase authorisation settings.

Course Purchase via Woocoommerce : Waiting for Admin Approval

The WooCommerce did not mark the order complete. Only after the WooCommerce marks the order complete the WPLMS will resume its processing. We recommend users to install the WooCommerce auto-complete orders plugin so that woocommerce marks their orders as complete on payment completion.

WooCommerce Autocomplete OrdersWordPress.org

When users close the internet browser tab, the account remains open for more than 30 minutes and they cannot access again until that time expires. So this code will set it to 15 minutes instead of 30 minutes Add this code in wp-admin > Plugins > editor > select WPLMS Customizer Plugin > wplms-customizer.php

add_filter('wplms_login_threshold',function($x){return 900;});

Here 900 is seconds which is equivalent to 15 minutes

Elementor & other Icons go missing when PWA enabled.

This is common issue because the PWA is not programmed to capture third party icons. So if you see this issue :

Locate the icons path. For exmaple, above icon set comes from following location.

Now we need to insert this icon set into the PWA pre-cached resources.

After adding these paths , you will need to "Regenerate Service worker"

Then you will need to update the service worker in your own browser

BuddyPress Activation Email Not Working

Everything is correctly Setup But Users are not able to activate their account. So Make sure a valid Email Id should Be Saved in LMS > Settings > Emails Tab

Third party plugins will have their own to email setting which you may need to configure if you are using a plugin for emails , example screenshot : https://prnt.sc/Yt7KXUiU4Vp7

For enable Emails to use BuddyPress HTML

if other emails are working in your site but buddypress emails are not working. Try adding below code in your child theme - functions.php ,

add_filter( 'bp_email_use_wp_mail', '__return_true' );

Use Third party Email services

Custom Icon For Units

Add this code either in Blank Child Theme's funtion.php file or in wplms customizer plugin > wplms-customizer.php

add_filter('wplms_get_element_icon',function($icon,$component_name){

//print_r($component_name); //find out component names
        if($component_name == 'jitsi'){
            return '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="1" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="feather feather-video"><polygon points="23 7 16 12 23 17 23 7"></polygon><rect x="1" y="5" width="15" height="14" rx="2" ry="2"></rect></svg>';
        }
        return $icon;
    },10,2);

You can change these icons in the members area :

Step 1:

Go to WP admin – Apperance – Menus , edit the profile menu.
Enable CSS Classes from the screen options on top right
Note the CSS Class of the icon you want to change :

Step 2:

Locate any good svg, https://iconmonstr.com/ is a good resource.
Download the svg icon
Edit SVG icon in text editor and copy the SVG icon

Step 3:

Add this code in child theme – functions.php or WPLMS Customizer – wplms_customizer.php
Keep the information CSS class and SVG with you. Replace XXXX with CSS class from step 1 and

add_action('vibebp_component_icon',function($icon,$id){
        if($id == 'XXXXXX'){
            $icon = '
    
    ';
        }
        return $icon;
    },99,2);

Check if the firebase credentials entered are correct. On saving the credentials should appear like below.

Ensure domain is added in firebase authenticated domain

Two issues which can cause login to not work correctly when you are using Firebase Configuration.

Incorrect firebase project location : Firebase configuration will not work if your firebase project is located in South Asia or newer regions. We recommend using US / Europe based regions.
Incorrect firebase configuration : Missing Realtime database in firebase configuration. If you copy firebase configuration before enabling realtime database then it will cause issues. After enabling disabling firebase features, make sure you re-copy firebase configuration and paste in vibebp settings.

Buddypress added this functionality that you can even customize your existing email templates. Read More about this here: https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/
