It doesn’t work perfectly in themes with proprietary templating systems but there’s a solution for that.

You can ask the theme author for a buddypress.php file which has the WP with the_title and the_content among the theme’s template tags for that specific theme. Upload that buddypress.php to…[Read more]

Sorry again for your frustration but maybe you should hire a developer that understands WP and BP. It may costs you some bucks but it will save you a ton of frustration.

Sorry for your frustration. Sometimes you have to trace back your footsteps. The toolbar would not have just stop working out of the blue. You had to make some change that altered the behavior either by changing themes, adding plugins, or adding custom code.

Leaving it commented out will not cause you any issues. Lots of developers use this technique while testing functions with other functions so they don’t loose the code by deleting it.

To comment out that block of code in your function just add /* after the opening php tag and before your function. After the last } then add */ before the closing php tag.
Note comments basically prevents php from reading the function.
Here is your function commented:

/* //Begin comment

This will remove it for subscribers but leaves it for admin. Add it to bp-custom.php

Okay but if its the theme and you invest a lot of time testing plugins and none of them work because of the theme then your back at square one. I suggest activating the bp-default theme, then activating the private community plugin, then log out and click the nav links to see if the problem persists. It only takes maybe 2 minutes to check.

Have you considered maybe its your theme overriding the functions of both these plugins? What theme are you using?

– did you just activate the BP Template Pack plugin for MADE (the theme already has BP folders like /activity/, /groups/, etc. within theme folder)
– or do you also have to go through Appearance > BP Compatibility (whereby BP folders have to be transferred to your theme’s folder in server) ?

You do not need the template pack plugin anymore. If your getting duplicate activity post then its still not displaying properly.
