This looks for a click on a page element with ID message-threads and then executes the starAction function. If you wanted to disable it, just make sure you don’t have anything on your page with an ID of message-threads. For example, just change the ID to something else:
<div id="message-threads">
// Stuff.
</div>
Note: Be sure nothing else depends on message-threads being there (CSS or JavaScript).
To like something are you using a plugin? BuddyPress doesn’t come with like functionality out of the box. I would think the plugin you’re using should supply the notification functionality. Try asking your plugin’s author to see if they can add the feature for you.
Could this be an issue with your theme? Try with the Twenty Fifteen theme enabled just to make sure. Also, sometimes plugins can cause problems. Deactivate everything aside from BP and then try testing again.
Also is index.php the page that shows lists of groups or the groups profile page?
There are different index.php templates. Here is another one for example. If you start from here you should be able to browse through all of the templates available.
BuddyPress starts with the index.php template and makes use of bp_get_template_part() to load the “partials” such as members-loop.php. See here for an example.
If I disable email confirmation then it opens the site to even more spammers.
Personally, I’d never do that because as you say it opens the door to spoof emails, and therefore much more spam.
I’d reach out to your users and try to find out what is causing the emails to go into their spam folders. For example, do they have custom spam filters set up? If so, what criteria do they use to spam an email?
Also, you can do things from a server point of view:
Be sure you’re not on any blacklists
Check with your host that your DKIM, SPF, sender ID and domain keys are properly set
Try Googling for more things (there’s lots to look out for)
Regarding the confirmation email problem, this seems to be a common problem and one that isn’t easily solved. Many things can result in email going into spam, most are usually related to your mail server setup or the user’s own spam filter settings.
You should try to find out what’s causing such a huge memory usage. Start off with the default Twenty Fifteen theme and no plugins activated. Then activate your plugins one-by-one, to find the culprit.
It’s never a good idea to change the plugin’s source. You should revert that change. Any custom code snippets you might have should go into either your theme’s functions.php file or a bp-custom.php file (if you have one).
Ah OK, cool. In that case you may also be interested to hear about bp_parse_args(). I think it’s a better way of doing what you want. This approach will also handle the loop pagination for you. For example:
function my_func( $ret ) {
// Your custom stuff here.
return $ret;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_func' );
