Thank you Mr Gibbs, its all fixed now.

I am so glad I asked, I was headed off to search through files for functions or something.

I hate messing with the database but nothing horrible happened

Thanks Again

OK, this is exactly what mine is doing, I have had the plugin forever but never tried to use it, now it is doing just what is described above.

If only I knew where to search for a “wp_options” ?!?!?!

[SparkeyParticipant @sparkey 2 years, 1 month ago]

I tried everything I could think of, I found the “reply(#)” area in the “blogactivity-loop” and copied it to the index page, but it always shows “0″, I don’t know enough PHP to know if you have to call a function first or what makes it enter the correct number.

So i have changed it to a link that says “Click to See Comments” not that great but its a personal site and it at least makes sense and isn’t as confusing.

[SparkeyParticipant @sparkey 2 years, 1 month ago]

Yep, thats it. I didn’t follow the authors instructions, well until I wanted to edit the comment section it wasn’t necessary, I guess. Below is what the plugin author says:

“If needed: Copy and modified the /theme/activitycomments/ files to your default theme (important to keep the folder activitycomments into the root default theme directory)”

So I added the “activitycomments” folder to my child theme, and I am editting the file “activitycomments/blogactivity-comments.php”

‘

<?php
if ( post_password_required() ) :
echo ‘

‘ . __(‘Password Protected’, ‘buddypress’) . ‘

‘;
echo ‘

‘ . __(‘Enter the password to view comments.’, ‘buddypress’) . ‘

‘;
return;
endif;

if ( is_page() && !have_comments() && !comments_open() && !pings_open() )
return;
?>

<?php printf( __('You must be logged in to post a comment.’, ‘buddypress’), wp_login_url( get_permalink() ) ); ?>

‘

Thanks everybody for the help

I think I got it, it is maybe a plugin that I am using:

“BuddyPress Activity Stream as Blog Comments”

I haven’t found the place to edit yet but I have a new place to search!

[SparkeyParticipant @sparkey 2 years, 2 months ago]

Cool at least I’m surer about that whole cache thing, I haven’t added any cacheing.

And yes I work on local as you say, that is just what I have been doing.

I only tried the backend editor to see if it agreed with my file location.

Well I seem to be doing everything right but no change to output.

[SparkeyParticipant @sparkey 2 years, 2 months ago]

Thank you guys so much for getting back to me. I really want to straighten out this page, our visitors are commenting all over the place or not at all.

@Chouf1 Yes, that is line is what I am changing, but the output doesn’t change.

@Virtuali Yes, that is the location that I have been working on, there was no comments.php in my child theme folder so I was editing the one in bp-default, when editing that didn’t change the output, I added a comments.php file to my child theme, still no change to the output. I tested the backend theme editor, when I added the comments.php to the child theme that is the one that it started editing, where before it had been edting the comments.php in the bp-default folder.

Maybe there is some kind of cache system I can’t find, I know in Joomla when I get this frustrated, I remember the built in cache, I have cntl-f5ed it a couple times.?????

[SparkeyParticipant @sparkey 2 years, 2 months ago]

So.. What are the rules on bumping here?

[SparkeyParticipant @sparkey 2 years, 2 months ago]

@Chouf1

Thank you but… that file only goes up to line 360, I just double checked at :

http://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.7/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php

[SparkeyParticipant @sparkey 2 years, 2 months ago]

Where should I be looking for the comments.php file if not in the bp default theme.

Or maybe the page is constructed with functions?

I can’t find where some of these functions are defined either:’bp_before_blog_comment_form’

but I think that is the avatar or something and is probably not what I need but it might help if I knew where it was defined.

Thanks

[SparkeyParticipant @sparkey 2 years, 2 months ago]

I tried a test and edited comments.php through the backend theme editor, wordpress agrees with me, the file that it is editing is:
wp-content/plugins/bubbypress/bp-themes/bp-default/comments.php

but editing that file doesn’t affect the blog comments.

I’m sure this is just the standard WP blog if I understand all this correctly, I haven’t activated multiple blogs – I don’t seem to be using the BP blogs loop directory stuff at all.

Thanks
