Sweet!!!
Thank you so much for your help. I noticed this only affects new posts, which is still awesome, and I did see that the 2014 theme did allow for the read-more to work on older posts (but it had width display issues with a different plugin I am using, so I switched back).
Both suggestions and tools helped greatly understanding this and fixing it. Thank you again!

OK, but is there a way to just get rid of the “read more” behavior anyway? I would like to please control the length of the excerpt, and make it long enough where it is a non-issue regardless of theme. The posting and other parts of buddypress are working great with the theme I have chosen, and other than this I don’t seem to have any “theme issues” yet. I’ve found the less ajax I have on pages the less conflicts I get with different themes and plugins anyway and would rather increase the size and test getting rid of excerpt cutoffs altogether due to potential conflicts and funky interaction with other ajax components. For this implementation, I think it would be much better to limit the size of posts when people make them, and not attempt to truncate them in the activity stream at all, to avoid other possible ajax interactions with something like lightbox or different themes. I’m not sure the ideal size to allow yet though. I would also like to look at limiting the size of posts but am hoping that’s easier after changing the “…” [read more] behavior. I am comfortable editing code if I have to, I’m just not sure where to yet.

These are the posts I’ve found of people trying to get rid of the “…” and [read more], or change the excerpt size and wording, but they’re old. There may be partial solutions in these threads but I’m afraid I don’t understand how to pull it all together or if they resolved it.

thank you.

Hello, if they are getting in some other way, will you please let me know?
I’m not accusing Buddypress, it’s great, but could someone please confirm for me that it doesn’t open up an alternative registration method somewhere?
It could be as simple as just increased users and an incompatibility with my captcha counting.
Thank you very much! 🙂

You can “hide” this from the obvious displays by

#buddypress span.activity { display: none; }

Just put it at the end of whatever CSS. My preference is just before any mobile specific sections that may be towards the bottom.

but really that just hides it and still leaks it everywhere. Until it’s really fixed it may be better to let members know it is so public.
I am also looking how to programmatically secure this as well and let users choose what is displayed.

CSS is applied so that in general, the most specific gets priority and the last line gets the last word too, so if you have control of the flow put the things you want to override at the end or the last stylesheet applied.

[bitpath]

That doesn’t fix the real problem. CSS just masks it and gives users a false sense of security when they’re last active is still broadcast for anyone who looks at the real page.
I am also looking how to remove this everywhere and let users choose what to show as their public search info.

[bitpath]

I’m also searching for how to do this here and in the member listing. It seems like it might be a privacy issue for many, having their last activities stamped front and center. I could hide it with CSS but prefer to really suppress this type of display and give users the choice to display a “tag line” of their choosing instead, if possible.

Hi,
Got this resolved. Was able to assign buddypress to the right site after network activating. Intuitively, at first, it seemed like I either needed to activate it on a specific site, or if I network activated it, it would be on root. I was able to define the site I wanted it on, network activate it then network activate the privacy plugin that needed to be network activated. I do hope buddypress integrates more privacy options into core, especially in this day in age people will want this kind of control, but this works and thank you! 🙂

Changing Internal Configuration Settings

Cheers!

[bitpath]

Ah! I don’t use a cache plugin, but I use a number of privacy plugins, to allow users to control visibility listings in member and profile pages. One must have been culprit since I disabled them all and now see the count that should be visible. Sorry for not checking those first and thank you! I didn’t have a signups table that I saw, but it is on a multiuser site (only one site is BP). Thank you!

[bitpath]

I’ve seen friends sections shows email addresses, but that may have been in a messaging plugin.
Are there any buddypress core messaging or find friend sections that bring up and search on email addresses, or are those all plugins? It sounds like where I saw it was a plugin but just making sure then.
Thank you!

[bitpath]

I am grateful for the coders and community giving us this chance to use it and provide this feedback. If the “issues” i mentioned are just a matter of config, anyone please let me know.
Otherwise, I will RTFM and figure out how to add some links to the appropriate pages to turn dead ends into detours to the appropriate pages that would help fill in those filter results 🙂

[bitpath]

dup post deleted.

[bitpath]

I think it mostly comes down to a few well placed links where you get all those “nothing matches that filter” message so people can find what would go there and fill those empty filter results. This site is so much more user friendly than the default buddypress install it seems, so it must be able to do this somehow. Maybe it just take a lot more work after installing to make it similar to this. Mostly it’s the dead end links I’m worried about. Most people don’t understand getting a lot of “nothing matches that filter” error messages with no direction on how to add groups, forums, friends, topics, etc.

[bitpath]

Hi,
Not sure if you figured this all out but I resolved a similar issue by adding this to my custom CSS override:

#activity-filter-select {
    display: none;
}

I did this to remove the “Show: Everything” drop down menu from end users for now.

Cheers and good luck!

@imath Thanks so much!!

Hi,
Can you please help me with the exact same problem as well. I think I am up to date on all patches and just installed a bunch of premium plugins from wpmudev, but I was getting almost this exact same error trying to access admin screens this morning:
Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in /home/bitpad/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-admin.php on line 825

Your patch fixed it perfectly I think. I can now get back to the admin level. Thank you so much. I was worried I’d have to delete and reinstall plugin possibly starting over on a lot. I am now worried if I will break it by updating since it may over-write plugin patch you gave. Is all ok to upgrade next buddy press one that comes out?
Thank you for your help! You saved a lot of grief 🙂
