BuddyPress Members Can’t Comment

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello,

    I don’t know where to post this. I tried .net and they refered me here.

    BuddyPress —– Members can’t comment under posts or on comments in Groups or on the Activity page. Note: They can create a post, just not comment on posts.

    Upon send met with following message:

    You have posted an inappropriate word.’

    No inapproprite word posted, no word.. not even “I can’t comment” is accepted.

    • I have cleared the cache, both browser and WP.
    • I have disabled plugins and it did not solve issue.
    • Settings / BuddyPress / Options / Activity Streams / Allow activity stream commenting on posts and comments – checked

    It used to work, and I can’t know for how long it hasn’t worked.

    Help appreciated, thx

  • Hello there,

    Thank you for reaching out to us and providing a detailed explanation of the issue you’re facing.

    ‘You have posted an inappropriate word.’

    I appreciate your efforts in trying to solve the issue by clearing the cache and disabling plugins.

    Now, I must mention that BuddyPress is a third-party plugin that we do not fully support. However, I’ve done a quick check and found a relevant support topic in their documentation. A moderator there has shared a filter you could use to bypass filters. You may want to try this as a possible solution. Here is the link to that support topic: BuddyPress Profanity Filter Topic

    You can modify your plugin files using SFTP.

    If the issue persists after trying the above solution, I would recommend reaching out to BuddyPress support directly. They should be able to provide more specific assistance as they are the experts on their own product.

    Remember, we’re here to help with any other questions or issues you might have with your WordPress.com site. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us again.

    Best regards,
