Hi @sarahshaik

Welcome to BuddyPress! You can get BuddyPress plugins from the WordPress repository: https://wordpress.org/plugins/

Take a look here for everything tagged BuddyPress: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/buddypress/

If I had to take a guess, I’d say something is filtering avatar_defaults.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 1 month ago]

Try echo substr( bp_get_last_activity( $user_id ), 7 ); where $user_id is the ID of the user you need to fetch last activity for.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 1 month ago]

@petervandoorn almost but bp_member_profile_data() will output. Instead, you’ll need to use a function which returns a value before passing it to explode(). That’ll be bp_get_member_profile_data()

Try posting your requirements on the BP Jobs Board. There might be a developer there who’ll help you.

The whole freakin Plugin needs a UI & layout makeover. It’s 2017, looks like crap vs today’s UI/UX standards.

Try to think of BuddyPress as a foundation for your theme to style. If your site looks as bad as you describe then consider switching theme. You mentioned @buddyboss, they build some great themes that might interest you.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 1 month ago]

The best thing to do in this case is take a look through the code:

Try asking this question on the plugin’s support page:

How are you trying to delete the buddypress folder?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

You shouldn’t modify the original plugin files.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

You can find all of the templates in a buddypress folder here: bp-templates/bp-legacy.

Step 1. Copy the buddypress folder to your theme. You should then have something that looks like this: wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress
Step 2. Edit the files inside the buddypress folder.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

Which template are you referring to in 1.?

Check out the Template Hierarchy article. The file you’d need to copy and then modify is buddypress/members/members-loop.php.

can both code snippets be placed either in functions.php or bp-custom.php?

2 can but 1 isn’t a code snippet (you’re copying and then modifying a file).

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

The file path should be wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php. If that doesn’t work for you then there’s likely a problem elsewhere.

Hi @ulferlingsson

This is very likely to be theme-related. I notice you’re using the Niche theme. Try contacting the theme author to let them know there’s an issue.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

Can you show us a screenshot of where you’re seeing this?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

There’s 2 parts to the registration form. The form markup and the processing script. You can’t remove the signup_password_confirm form field because the processing script will be expecting it.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

You can edit the layout of the registration page. buddypress/members/index-register.php is the template you’ll need to edit. See the Template Hierarchy article for more information.

Try running this using something like Twenty Fifteen with all plugins deactivated. My guess is your code works but something else is conflicting.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

The following code won’t cause the parse error:

<p><?php printf(
    __( 'Your account was activated successfully! You can now log in on the sidebar with the username and password you provided when you signed up.', 'your-theme-domain' ),
    wp_login_url( bp_get_root_domain() )
); ?></p>

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘else’ (T_ELSE) in /home/admin/public_html/wp-content/themes/Divi-Child/buddypress/members/activate.php on line 47

This is referring to an else statement on line 47 of activate.php. What do you have on line 47?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

You should use your theme’s style.css document. Editing core files isn’t recommended.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

You can add items to the activity stream using bp_activity_add().

See here https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_activity_add/

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

Found a solution, using BuddyMenu. 4 years without an update but seems to be working fine.

Glad you got this working 🙂

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

The screen-reader-text accessibility class is something that all themes should have I agree. You’ll likely find some RTL styles that are worth keeping also.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

You would need to find a plugin that does this because this functionality isn’t available in BP core.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 2 months ago]

If you change the template markup things could break because the BP JavaScript relies on various classes. However, changing or removing a CSS file will change the look and feel only.
