bbPress notifications of the type “bbp_new_reply” are showing up as blank in Buddypress. (I have also posted a ticket in the buddyPress forum about this issue: http://buddypress.org/support/topic/notification-still-not-being-displayed/)

As of today, my user notification page contains 43 “blank” notifications.

1 – When I mouse over the notification circle in the header of the page, the list of notifications is displayed as blank, even when I have notifications pending. Screenshot: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-gvkfWwp6rSg/Uu5iQpXEayI/AAAAAAAAM-0/tA7ok02oXC4/w958-h337-no/buddypress+blank+notification+list.jpg

2 – When I click on the notification circle, I am taken to the list of current notifications, but the title of the notifications in each row is blank. Screenshot: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-OqKLmC4t_-c/UyWU-1tw42I/AAAAAAAANfc/MgSf8atB4mw/w958-h592-no/notifications+screenshot.jpg

Here are a couple of rows from the notifications database table:

I have done a little more investigation (with a slightly different configuration). I created a new “test” topic as one user. I logged out and logged in as a different user and attempted to respond to the test topic and I received the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_notifications_add_notification() in /nas/wp/www/staging/cbblogers/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php on line 124

My configuration was:
bbPress v2.5.3
buddyPress v1.8.1
Wordpress v3.8.1
site url: http://cbblogers.staging.wpengine.com

Thanks much,

I see you’re getting some help in the buddypress site

Robin,

Yes, but so far nothing that has resolved the issue 🙁

Any other thoughts about next steps?

Thanks much

I’m about to post this same issue. Getting it as well. His screenshots perfectly represent my experience as well. Was this a BuddyPress or bbPress issue in the end?
