BuddyPress.org

For an alternative idea, you could create a shortcode that shows the contents within it to members of a group or a site role or just certain users (if the targeted members dont change often) by using conditionals […]

You can change the members slug by defining the BP_MEMBERS_SLUG constant before BuddyPress defines the default (eg. In […]

As Ben said, BuddyPress has local avatar uploading AND gravatar intergration built in.
Is the theme removing core functionality?

Additionally, you can use a plugin for photo gallery features (there are loads. […]

@Gazen – I don’t think there is a plugin, however here is a tutorial that may help you achieve it.

I hate the edit lock here.
Just to clarify: you’ll need to create a new bp_has_activities (copy/paste and change prefix) add that code in (you could edit another scope, eg friends but I recommend making new […]

The above will create a new scope called friendsnme and show both friends and the logged in user in the activity feed. Untested use at your own risk.

Example option (Really quickly coded. untested.)
case 'friendsnme':
if ( bp_is_active( 'friends' ) )
$friends = friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user_id );
$me = array(bp_loggedin_user_id());
$friendsnme = […]

@marutim – sorry, should have mentioned that i didnt actually test it when i posted that but i just tried it on a site and it seems to work, and I can’t see anything wrong with the code you posted.
Not sure why […]

One option could be to create your own title function that mimics what bp_page_title() used to do then using that tutorial to output it (the conditional hasn’t changed)

I dont use Yoast seo and dont know what he does with his code, but if it helps here’s what BP uses now (in 1.6) – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/1.6/bp-core/bp-core-filters.

On the new codex them, there is a search form in the right sidebar.

Does this help?

I’m a slow Typer.:D

1. It could be an issue with the redirects, does this link work for you? https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

2. The site here is using Bbpress 2 with the topic type as a […]

Apologise if my last reply was somewhat cryptic – what I meant to say is that BP doesn’t support it out of the box (yet), but anything can be done with the right skills. It accomplishes half of it (using the […]

You could use the die function that @aces provided but hook it to the BuddyPress actions (for site side feeds that’s ‘bp_activity_sitewide_feed’)

Eg.
add_action('bp_activity_sitewide_feed', 'fb_disable_feed', 1);

Oh and with your last question, you can use your current theme (especially after 1.7). Just turn off registration, so that you create accounts manually and make it so that only logged in users can see BP pages.

Drdick8, in the next major version of BP (1.7) theming will be easier and allow you to use ANY WordPress theme out of the box. There are millions of WP themes. (See: https://wordpress.org/extend/themes)
With the 4. […]

And regarding activity privacy, it’s coming soon, I believe. Profile privacy is still new and privacy takes a lot of work to implement.
