In your source, it seems your images are now appearing after the text. For example:

<p>
Martin is a university professor who has a side consulting business in which he helps Fortune 500 companies comply with diversity laws.&nbsp; Most of his clients seek him out because they are being sued for  […]

</p>

Before things broke, my guess is you had the images appearing before the text:

<p>
<img src="http://marketingrebelclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/SF-MH-Martin-Davidson-150x150.jpg">
Martin is a university professor who has a side consulting business in which he helps Fortune 500 companies comply with diversity laws.&nbsp; Most of his clients seek him out because they are being sued for  […]
</p>

The best way to tackle this is to find out exactly what’s changed this.

if ( $group_id == '1' ) {
    // Do this
} else {
    // Do this
}

Note: You’ll need to get $group_id earlier on in your code.

The Viewing X of X members text can be found inside bp_get_members_pagination_count()

The best way to customise it is to localise (use a language file). See the Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs article for more info.

A plugin isn’t strictly necessary, it’s just the easiest option. Alternatively, you can use the wp_mail_from and wp_mail_from_name hooks.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

It is actually the default WordPress from email address and name that are used. If you want to change these, try the WP Change Default Email plugin.

Is the BP part making sure that username is unique?

Yes. That happens here

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Do you have a link to your site showing a live example?

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

@tomnikkola

Just to make sure I understand correctly, if I were to leave out “bbp_topic_create” it would leave the new topics out of the activity feed, but if one member mentioned another in the toipc, that would still display?

Using @danbp’s snippet, that’s exactly what will happen.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Is bp_activity_post_update an actual hook? I can’t seem to find it in BP.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

There will be plugins in the WordPress Plugin Directory that can do both of these things. Theme My Login won’t do exactly what you need but it’s a great plugin I’d recommend if you need to to bring the login page into your theme.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

I haven’t tested or looked at the source but I suspect you will need to use my no_grav() function as well. You could run a quick test to be sure?

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

You can disable Gravatar like this:

function no_grav() {
    return true;
}
add_filter( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', 'no_grav' );

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

That would be 30 minutes on a good day. At 6:30pm I’d hit the worst traffic imaginable (I’d be coming from the Isle of Dogs). But it’s great to hear it’s a success!

My apologies, yes that’ll change the default avatar. I just re read your whole post and realise that may not be what you want.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Cool running club! I was looking to join a club near me but Harold Wood is about a 30 minute drive away.

Regarding your question:

Is there a way of passing this path to Buddypress as the default avatar?

You can filter the default avatar URL using the bp_core_default_avatar_user hook.

Hope this helps!

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Are activity updates a wordpress custom posts types?

No. Activity items aren’t custom posts; instead, they live in the bp_activity table. See here for a diagram.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Hi @mhawksey

Can you open a new bug report for this on Trac referencing #5733?

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

This isn’t possible out-of-the-box but there may be a plugin in the WordPress Plugin Directory that adds Disqus functionality.

Adding items to the BuddyPress activity stream is very easy. Check out the bp_activity_add() article for more info.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

This sounds very strange. If you’re still seeing the problem after you’ve removed all custom code snippets, deactivated all plugins and reverted to TwentyFifteen, then I’d suggest you consider having a security audit done to find the source of the problem.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

~5th line down you have exit();. That will stop execution of the function at that point.

Ref: http://php.net/manual/en/function.exit.php

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Unfortunately “bad” bad reviews happen regularly and this is a good example. By “bad” I mean a reviewer doesn’t provide any details of the problem they’ve faced and doesn’t reply to the plugin author’s response.

EDIT: I just noticed the review was posted just 19 hours ago so hopefully the reviewer will still respond to your comments.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Take a look at the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy article. If your theme uses BuddyPress templates then you’ll be able to override them.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

That’s a good idea. If you do a search for bp_activity_add() you will see everything that creates an activity item. Some plugins use the activity stream so be sure to search any of those you may have installed as well.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Ah OK. For message notifications, you should find the message thread ID in item_id

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

If you take a look at the WordPress code base, you’ll see there is similar logic applied to username. The gist will be

1. Query the database for a list of display names
2. Throw an error if the desired name already exists

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

bbPress is a separate plugin. You’d need to install that as well as BuddyPress.
