@danbp I completely missed the comment in bp-activity-functions.php you pointed out! I see there’s a @todo in the source, so I’m sure the core devs are dreaming up a solution as we speak 🙂

@danbp

Great explanation 🙂

Regarding mentions, I’m not seeing how spaces in usernames can work. Say hypothetically my username is Henry Wright (note that’s my username and not my display name). How would you mention me in a public message?

@Henry Wright wouldn’t mention me. It’d mention someone with the username @Henry.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding how @-mentions work. The way I see it, if your username is (note the space):

Jane Doe

…and I want to mention you in an update, then I’d write:

@Jane Doe

But, as you can see there is a problem with that. Jane Doe won’t get the notification because somebody with the username @Jane got it instead.

Perhaps @danbp can…[Read more]

In the last screenshot, if you take a look under the IP address it reads: @ Julia Buckley

Regarding the roadmap, 2.1 is due any time soon. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap

Hi @julia_b

As @durkk mentioned, @-mentions work on username and not on display name. So going on what you have in the screenshot, sending a public message to @ Julia Buckley will actually send the message to a user with username @ Julia. This probably isn’t want you want.

@shanebp even if I provided some explanation of the priority requirement, I think my edit to change the hook to wp_enqueue_scripts may have introduced confusion to some people not as familiar with the priority param. I think it’s safer all round just to use wp_print_scripts, especially as the hook isn’t being deprecated as first thought.

@albert101

If you copy and paste this into your theme’s functions.php file, it should work.

function my_dequeue_script() {
if ( bp_is_activity() )
wp_dequeue_script( 'xyz-custom-script' );
}
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'my_dequeue_script', 100 );

Your functions.php file will be located at:…[Read more]

@hnla we’ll blame the Red Arrows for interrupting our concentration 🙂

Thanks @shanebp for pointing out.

Probably best if I revert my change! I’ll see to that now…

Here is the updated code:

function my_dequeue_script() {
if ( bp_is_activity() )
wp_dequeue_script( 'xyz-custom-script' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_dequeue_script', 100 );

Done! 🙂

@hnla good spot. I took the example from the WP Codex article I referenced in my post. Do you want to update or should I?

Hello @albert101

You can use wp_dequeue_script() to remove an enqueued script. For example:

function my_dequeue_script() {
if ( bp_is_activity() )
wp_dequeue_script( 'xyz-custom-script' );
}
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'my_dequeue_script', 100 );

Hi @julia_b

To my knowledge there isn’t anything like that available. Try searching the WP Plugin Directory. Else, if you’re good with code, something like this can be accomplished using regular expressions

All of that said, forums questions are better asked over at bbPress. You may have more luck there.

You can check that with bp_is_register_page(). Thinking about it, you’ll need logged out users to also have access to the activation page so that they can activate their account. You can use bp_is_activation_page() for that. So, the function becomes:

function my_redirecter() {
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() && ! bp_is_register_page() && !…[Read more]

Regarding the redirect, I’m not sure if there is a plugin but you can add this to your theme’s functions.php file:

function my_redirecter() {
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_redirect( home_url() . '/login/' );
exit();
}
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_redirecter' );

Deleting BuddyPress

If you follow all of the instructions in that article you should get to the point where you can reinstall.

Hi @bridieamelia,

Try this:

function redirect_members_page() {
if ( bp_is_user_profile() && ! bp_is_my_profile() ) {
$user = get_userdata( get_current_user_id() );
wp_redirect( home_url() . '/members/' . $user->user_login . '/profile/' );
exit;
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_members_page'…

I was going on both my own experience with the editor and the note in the Codex article I referenced above. My own experience wasn’t with the what’s new form so if it’s working for the what’s new form then completely disregard what I said above 🙂

Edit: And you’re right about BuddyPress JavaScript needing the #whats-new selector. I can see it’s…[Read more]

@danbp, just to mention, $editor_id is fussy about hyphens. See here. And contrary to the advice in that Codex article, I’ve also found $editor_id dislikes underscores. Best bet is to use lowercase letters only.
