BuddyPress.org

You shouldn’t edit core files directly. What are you trying to do? Remove public groups and force them to be private?

It should work. Does your activity stream work for content generated in BuddyPress?

Looks pretty cool. Built on Frisco?

Take a look at “Member settings pages are blank” on https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/developer-and-designer-information/

Only relevant if your theme was created before BuddyPress 1.5?

Most third-party authentication plugins don’t follow exactly how WordPress’ user authentication works, internally (missing filters, usually, to be precise). Welcome Pack uses some of these filters to hook in and […]

That’s not part of core, so it’ll be a feature of one of the plugins you’re running. You don’t say which plugins you are using, so I suggest going through each one’s admin screens to look for a relevant option.

Closing.

Add to “nav”; is this.. a WordPress Menu? Something custom implemented in your theme? Hardcoded HTML in your template?

And which Dashboard link, where?

What version of BP are you using?

Core doesn’t have this feature. You’ll have to try to find a plugin that implements this (I’ve not seen any before), or hire a developer.

It will take affect (assume you are editing correct file), but when a user picks an item, BP stores a cookie which remembers the item selected. On subsequent page loads, javascript reads this cookie and picks the […]

Probably you are calling the function before the javascript is loaded. .bind(‘load’) is also a non-standard method of hooking javascript into a page, and I’m not exactly sure when that event fires. I suggest […]

BuddyPress was originally built for WPMU. For some reason, we’ve got a bunch of username registration code inside BuddyPress itself (we should let WordPress take care of that) — which was based on WPMU — which […]

Which edit profile link, on what screen?

I think someone wrote a plugin recently that did this, but I can’t find it easily on the first few pages of search results on wp.org

This will be practically impossible to do with comments. You’ll need to get the Activity component to do this for you, as the others have said.

Put this word into your email: USERNAME

And it’ll be replaced

Latest BP is v1.5.4, not 1.5.5. I think I fixed this, but I’m not sure if the patch is in the 1.5 branch, or whether it’ll be in 1.6.

That won’t stop someone very determined crafting a custom POST request, but will probably stop most people.
