Amazing that the BuddyPress developers totally messed this up, don’t you think?

Michael started the topic Servere BuddyPress bug left thousands of activities without action in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 1 year, 11 months ago

A while back, I reported a severe BuddyPress bug that left activities for blog posts without actions. The bug was fixed in a later version. However, now I just noticed that not only new activities were affected. Essentially all our old activities for blog posts are now without a link to the blog post.

Updating the blog post creates the activity…[Read more]

Thanks for the reply. So you can replicate the issue?

Michael started the topic Post title in activity action disappeared after update to BuddyPress 11 in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 2 years, 3 months ago

In BuddyPress 10 (tested with 10.6), when a new blog post is published, the BuddyPress action field of a BuddyPress activity looks like this: <User> wrote a new post, <post title>. After the update to 11 (tested with 11.1), the post title disappeared from all old activities. When I downgrade to 10.6, the post titles reappear. The action field can…[Read more]

Update: The bug only exists only with the BuddyPress Legacy template pack. It does not occur with the BuddyPress Nouveau template back.

Michael started the topic BUG: Activity filter not working correctly for not logged-in visitors in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 2 years, 11 months ago

If you set an activity filter on an activity page, BuddyPress will only set a cookie (bp-activity-filter) if the visitor is logged in. If a user is not logged the cookie is not set. The result is that if a visitor who is not logged-in clicks “load more,” the filter is no longer active on the new result page.

This bug exists already for many…[Read more]

Michael replied to the topic How to rename activity filters in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 2 years, 11 months ago

It works like this:

add_filter('bp_get_activity_show_filters_options', 'my_buddypress_filter',10,2); function mp_buddypress_filter($filters, $context) { $filters['new_blog_post'] = 'Blog Posts'; $filters['new_blog_comment'] = 'Blog Comments'; $filters['bbp_topic_create'] = 'Forum Topics'; $filters['bbp_reply_create'] = 'Forum Replies';…[Read more]

How can I rename the activity filters? For instance, I want to rename “posts” to “blog posts” and “topics” to “forum topics.”

Michael started the topic Activity filter not working after clicking load more in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 4 years, 11 months ago

If you filter the activity stream (for instance show only updates), BuddyPress will also display other activity entries (for instance blog posts) when you click Load More at the end of the activity stream.

Can anyone replicate the issue with BuddyPress 6.1.0? Is this a BuddyPress bug?

Michael started the topic Admin notification after activity update in the forum Creating & Extending 8 years, 4 months ago

I want to send an email to the admin whenever a user posts an activity update. I couldn’t find a plugin or a hook for the task. Can anyone point me into the right direction?

Michael started the topic Site Tracking not working with blog post excerpts in the forum Requests & Feedback 8 years, 5 months ago

If Site Tracking is enabled new blog posts appear in the activity stream. BuddyPress uses the beginning of the blog post to create an excerpt for the activity update and ignores the blog excerpt. This doesn’t really make sense because the blog post excerpt obviously describes the article much better.

It is possible to change this BuddyPress…[Read more]

Hello,

By default BuddyPress uses the beginning of a blog post for the activity stream. How can I use the WordPress blog excerpt instead for posts that have an excerpt?

Thanks,
Michael

Worked! Thanks a lot!

Michael started the topic [Resolved] How to change the from email address in BuddyPress 2.5? in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 9 years, 2 months ago

By default the from email address in notifications is wordpress@domain.com. How can I change this? The plugins I previously used for this purpose no longer seem to work since BuddyPress 2.5.
