I have disabled all activity_items to the stream by default except topics and replies. I want to add more items but one at a time and controlled. A BuddyPress site can become overkill feature wise very fast because everything is so connected and relative with…[Read more]

I’ve been testing the get_post() option and the overal number of queries stay the same in the debug bar.

But the Primary or Secondary item ID of an activity item always matches the ID in the wp_post table…[Read more]

I made this.

Maybe instead of the solo entry.php template.

I just noticed it’s better to use is_null() instead of isset() because when people leave those fields empty it returns a FALSE boolean inside a var_damp().

Don’t know if this codex page is still up to date but I’m trying to exclude a bunch of activity stream items from my site.

So I made this.

I installed this RC1 version and I noticed a Template Pack picker in the BuddyPress options.

I’m trying to hijack this menu and place it inside my header.php file.

This menu gets echoed via the bp_get_displayed_user_nav() function that is only visible on user profile related pages so I need some sort of conditional PHP tag to prevent it from showing up in my header section when I’m not viewing one of those profile related…[Read more]

Let’s say I have a Custom Post Type called apps and the Posts in this Custom Post Type also have a few Custom Fields items so every time when I update a Post in this App Post Type I would like to see this mentioned in the BuddyPress activity.

Is there something already write about this topic that could help me in the…[Read more]

Maybe your hosting company doesn’t let you to run powerful websites. BuddyPress & bbPress are not small scripts. It’s not like you install a simple Twitter plugin for WordPress. BuddyPress & bbPress are advanced scripts that require some power of your server.

My advise, check your server logs and maybe…[Read more]

Just add a new tab ‘video’s’ and another tab called ‘photo’s’ and let them copy-/paste links to YouTube-/Flickr and others inside a multi-line text input field. ( Xprofile )

I believe the WordPress Embed service will auto complete those links into embedded video’s and images.

Why the red part gets checked before the filter select menu can work ?

I’ve changed my menu a bit but for some reason the filter doesn’t work anymore and I’ve got the feeling I’m very close to the problem.

If you look at where BuddyPress was years ago and where they are right now it’s a huge step forward to WordPress like coding.
Will they ever become as easy as WordPress, no I don’t think so, simply because there are only a few people looking after the code of BuddyPress and bbPress.

WordPress has…[Read more]

Maybe that will help.

Also look at the Pages section if you don’t have any pages in the trash – maybe an older ‘register page’ is still active in the trash.

Left side I have the inbox and sentbox loop that you can toggle by some JS Tabs. Both inbox and sentbox will be shown on the ‘inbox page’ only the sentbox is a hidden tab by default.

On the right side I have made my “content” div where I’m trying to show all other…[Read more]

I always look at the source to show what values are given in the HTML.
And I’m working on a clean WP 3.8 and BuddyPress 1.9.1 system no other plugins or features are active.

It’s strange..
But 15px will do for now, maybe in the future I’ll digg into it a little deeper, thanks.

Lots of work went into this.. Cool.

I’ve looked at the code on the site and inline on the image tag it also says width 15 height 15 class=avatar-15

Looks like the value is just not communicating with the function.

But even with type = full and size changes it doesn’t work like it should be. 🙁

But if you change ‘width’ => 15 to ‘width’ => 32 is doesn’t apply and just keeps giving 15px avatar width front-end.

When you Hover over the users-list inside the autocomplete pop-up at the messages / compose page everything works just fine but when you use the keyboard keys to navigate up and down it removes all classes from the list items.

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was some sort of overwrite to all BuddyPress menu’s.

Better customisation options of the activity stream: ie to be able to define a set of “or” filters for content type, and who. So (with plugin support) I can define a feed to include things from “me or friends or followers” showing “topics and topic replies and posts and new users” (and ideally be able to have a permalink to this with no other fl…

Can I do something to make it more safe or is this something that the BuddyPress Plugin Developers would have to upgrade, since the error is caused by the BP plugin.

There is a huge difference between the example I found on the web and the option @modemlooper gave.

Don’t know if it’s really that bad because they both load around the same time but still a lot more queries.
