BuddyPress.org

Yes! That’s it. Thanks for pointing this out, Henry. I shall link the bug report to this thread and offer to help bug test.

… and if I activate ‘Activity Streams’ but add

add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' );

to bp-custom.php, the problem is resolved.

So it looks like, for some reason, I can’t have mentions enabled without the problem occurring. Can anyone think why?

Thanks,
Joss

For the record, I’ve narrowed it down to the ‘Activity Streams’ component of BuddyPress. When this is disabled, the problem does not occur.

I suppose another way of looking at this would be to find the code in BuddyPress that injects hyperlinks into certain text, such as profile tags. Where would I find this?

Thanks.

UPDATE:

I’ve changed BuddyPress from being ‘network activated’ to just ‘activated’ on the main/root site. I don’t know what the recommended setup is these days, but we’ve had it network activated since BuddyPress only ran on WPMU.

Having it activated on the main site only means that the ‘bug’ now only affects the main site and not every site…[Read more]

Well, at least I know it is possible! I’ll have a look around for those instructions. Thanks.

Thanks. I have a use for Multisite Plugin Control, but it doesn’t solve the issue with bbPress because bbPress can *only* be activated across the network, and so it comes outside of Multisite Plugin Manager’s control.

Anyway, thanks again. I will be using the multisite plugin for other reasons!

huh. I don’t understand why it’s different for me. I’ll go back and look into it. The other problem though is that if it’s just activated on the main site, then I guess it will still be listed as a plugin for other members to activate on their own sites (we allow this with plugins).

Thanks for your response.

I agree. But there is no other option. On a network install, the only option to activate bbPress is to ‘network activate’ it.

Thanks. I see what you mean, but it’s too focused on commercial upgrades, whereas the site I managed it based at a university with students and staff as users.

Thanks anyway. There used to be a plugin called ‘Plugin Commander’ that might also have worked, but having tested that, it doesn’t seem to work at all with the current version of WP.…[Read more]
