a short update on the date problem – i realised 40 years ago would be consistent with a timestamp of 0. therfore, a second conjecture:
rss feeds from Blogger don’t like being chopped up into $feed_item.

the solution was to use the feed provided at http://blogurl.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss. Other ones don’t work.

OK, got round to fixing this, after moving to bp_external_activity… the timestamp issue has mysteriously solved itself, but to get the posts to show up on the feed i had to edit some code this is the offending bit: `$author = $rss_item->get_author(); if ( !$userdata = get_userdatabylogin( strtolower( $author->get_name() ) ) ) $user_id = 0; […]

I’m getting some odd behaviour with the External Group Blogs (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/external-group-blogs/) plugin. When I add a feed, that feed’s earliest post appears in the group with a datestamp of over 40 years ago. No subsequent posts are pulled into the group or the activity stream. Anyone have any idea what’s going on? Thanks…[Read more]

@bobs12 Dear bobs12,

I’m a buddypress newbie so please excuse me if this question is inappropriate. I read about your ‘spambusher’ script with interest and wondered if you would care to share the code?

Best

duncan posted on the forum topic REQUEST: Buddypress Profile Badges in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 10 months ago

I know this thread’s 8 months old but this would be an excellent feature. Not generating badges for other SN sites (as buddypress-badge does), but something to label users with status in the community, a bit like scout badges…

Hi, I’ve read many threads on avatars on this site but nobody seems to have quite the problem I do. User avatars upload fine – it’s just the groups that have trouble. The crop feature appears ok but always returns the error ‘there was a problem cropping your image’ and we’re left with the default […]

@Boone

Thanks very much!

Your advice led me here:

which helped clear up the finer points. And what that mysterious thing I kept ignorning, ‘I18n’, means… 😉
duncan started the forum topic why must there be _e() everywhere? (a newbie writes) in the group Miscellaneous: 13 years, 10 months ago

I have searched high and low for a clear explanation of this, but I can’t find one so I assume it’s so simple that nobody needs it explained. Except me. Why is my theme full of code like this I thought _e() was a translation function. What is going on here? Please excuse my […]

Hi Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer. My WP/BP site is set up to automatically approve comments by users who have been approved in the past, which works fine for us. However, I need to set things up so one user can pre-moderate every comment on a group or […]

Hi Thanks very much Francesco, this plug-in looks great and I look forward to using it very much. However, after activation I see no comments in the ‘Moderation’ screen, merely ‘No content to display’. Queries return nothing. I have dozens of comments on my site. Is this normal behaviour or am I doing something wrong? […]

Hi, I’m new to buddypress so please excuse me if this is a silly question. For logged-in users, I’d like to display the avatar/status/friend/contact buttons for the site admin on a subdomain site. For instance when a user has logged in at http://www.mywebsite.com and is now browsing microsite.mywebsite.com, they can see the details of the […]
