okay, i posted it right below the above mentioned code in

/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

and it seems to have worked! Thanks so much man!

[dugfunny]

wow thanks for the fast response @modemolooper ! You want me to replace the code I already have with that or put that somewhere else?

[dugfunny]

Anyone know if this code would still work, its been 3 years. Looking to accomplish the same thing today.

[dugfunny]

i tried that too @bitpath , even with the !important added, and it is still there. i cant figure out the problem.

[dugfunny]

I too would like an updated answer to this

[dugfunny]

well that most definitely worked. thank you so much!

[dugfunny]

and is there anywhere specific in the page that i put it or is anywhere fine? thank you soooooooo much man you have no idea lol

[dugfunny]

so adding the above code into bp-custom.php will cause the activity stream to show updates by default, right? and its that easy, copy and paste? @chouf1

im in that file, and have tried one or two things with no change. could you be more specific with what to change to what? id be so grateful man, ive been trying to figure this out for weeks. THAAAAAAAANK YOU! @chouf1

[dugfunny]

Thank you, I don’t want it blocked though. I just want it not shown on default. By default I would like Updates shown, but still want the option there for a user to see everything if they’d like to.

[dugfunny]

Also, when you click on a user’s profile, where and what would I need to edit to make it automatically take you to their profile information (name, location, age, etc…), rather than their activity wall.

Figured that one out. Anyone have a solution to the others? Here is how i fixed this problem, in bp-custom.php , which is located inside of your plugins folder, paste this code…

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ );
?>

[dugfunny]

I am running buddypress 2.0.1 and wordpress 3.9.1, as well as a child theme of kleo 1.3. Thanks again!
