Your question is vague. Please tell more. Are you referring to profile fields?

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

never use “register” as url for sign up page. Spammers look for this. Go into permalink settings and change to something else sand save. URL redirects not right

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

well thats not really editing the activity content its a custom foreach loop 😉

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

function record_post_activity_content_update( $excerpt, $post_content, $activity ) {
	global $post;
	if( $post->post_type == 'post' ) {
		$post_content= 	'<a href="' . get_permalink( $post->ID ) . '" class="activity-content-title" >' 
						. get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) 
						. get_post_field('post_title', $post->ID) . '</a>' 
						.get_post_field('post_content', $post->ID);
	}
	return $post_content;
}
add_filter( 'bp_blogs_record_activity_content', 'record_post_activity_content_update');

if you have registration turned off in WordPress settings you will have registration troubles. When you got to settings > BuddyPress and on the pages tab do you have the pages assigned to components?

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 5 months ago]

BP doesn’t have a special login aside from showing an avatar in the widget. You can use any login plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/login-sidebar-widget/

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

I would google wordpress appointment plugin

There seems to be some options, you don’t necessarily need BuddyPress

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

The action is hardcoded, there are a few different functions for linking to profiles, this filter will change profile links but there may be links not using bp_core_get_user_domain.

apply_filters( ‘bp_core_get_user_domain’, $domain, $user_id, $user_nicename, $user_login );

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

the file entry.php is an individual activity item.

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

is this site already active with users? You might need to reinstall everything fresh.

Read this thread, its probably the same issue, has some suggestions. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/new-user-registration-problem-invalid-activation-key/

You said you installed WP from hostgator? Did you create a database manually, use FTP to upload WP or did you log into hostgator admin and click a button to install WP?

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

so you didn’t download wp and install? Hostgator is notorious for borked WP install from their interface

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

are you getting a white screen or just blank page when you visit /activity ?

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

its my theme but its so old and outdated I suggest not using it

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

if you are comfortable access a database and editing php search here on the forums, there was a previous issue where a db column was missing. but that issue was a while ago.

Are you on multisite? also did you use a one click WordPress installer that a web host provides?

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

I’m not sure this can be done but it would require complex coding. You would most likely need to hire a developer.

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

first did you deactivate plugins and change theme to rule those out?

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

post on support forum for like plugin and ask developer to add that feature

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

yes

You should use a language file to edit strings https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 7 months ago]

The code above is only for activity stream, try another plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-like/

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

did these plugins not work?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-groupomatic/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-auto-group-join/

or function

function automatic_group_membership( $user_id ) {
   if( !$user_id ) return false;
 
   groups_accept_invite( $user_id, $group_id );
}
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'automatic_group_membership' );

[@modemlooper Moderator 11 years, 8 months ago]

Your theme doesn’t have a menu?

WP won’t allow any character. WP uses sanitize_user function to strip out.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_user

First thing I would do is deactivate all plugins and test WP registration alone to see if its WP issue. If it is then search and post in the wp.org forums.
