In reply to: A new activities stream
You have to create a function similar to what I’m using below. Play with the if statement after the for each loop.
`
function bp_my_activity_filter( $a, $activities ) {
global $bp;if ( $bp->current_component != $bp->activity->slug )
return $activities;foreach( $activities->activities as $key => $activity ) {
if ( $activity->type ==’activity_update’ && $activity->item_id == ’34’ || $activity->type ==’new_forum_topic’ && $activity->item_id == ’34’ ) {
unset( $activities->activities[$key] );
$activities->total_activity_count = $activities->total_activity_count – 1;
$activities->activity_count = $activities->activity_count – 1;
}
}$activities_new = array_values( $activities->activities );
$activities->activities = $activities_new;
return $activities;
}
add_action( ‘bp_has_activities’, ‘bp_my_activity_filter’, 10, 2 );
`Don’t use status updates. If you want help find the appropriate forum and post.
In reply to: bp_has_groups() on Profile page. Codex incorrect?It’s false when on the directory page but when on a profile it will return the displayed users groups
In reply to: BP Head pulling wrong url for Facebook Share.Share or like? I think the share is failing. They want people to use the like api.
In reply to: Restrict users to their groups and that’s it.Very easy. Wrap code you want hidden in an if is group admin OR if is admin statement. You could also hack the code to make every group hidden by default.
In reply to: redirect to Profile and not ‘Activity’How weird, I’ll test, sounds like a bug. Can you give more info on your install. What plugins and theme and versions of wp & bp
In reply to: redirect to Profile and not ‘Activity’Are you using a cache plugin, they do not work well with BuddyPress. Also your initial question was about viewing the profile as the default page of a user file not redirecting on login.
In reply to: redirect to Profile and not ‘Activity’In reply to: welcome screen on extra module (ajax, jquery?)Not sure this plugin still works but you can find a WP plugin for this functionality
In reply to: How do you show a member's total post count?https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/count_user_posts
You would need to get the displayed bp user id for $userid
In reply to: How does Buddypress handle roles and permissions?Not really possible at the moment. Every user is a wp subscriber.
In reply to: Need ProgrammerTry resetting the permalink structure in the admin
Search on here and google “buddypress activity stream meta”
It’d possible but you’d need to create your own method to display activity from a certain tag
No, BuddyPress works fine and will into the future and bug fixes are never ending. This site is developed live, hence it being broken. Don’t use this site as a reflection of the state of the software.
Like I said, it’s free. Free to use or not. Do not make your lack of knowledge on how to extend a free product someone elses problem. I answer on average 5-10 support requests every day. I take offense that you think nobody gets help but they do when volunteers can help.

In reply to: Mobile plugin please helpDo you have JavaScript disabled on your device?
There are different methods for the like button and you can tell it what link to use. The cut and paste like code scrapes the page so it will read your logged out page. Read about it in Facebook docs.
Facebook share cannot see behind a protected page and for good reason. You will need to use a like button instead for sending content to Facebook. The share is being deprecated anyways, it’s only still available because so many sites still use it but the preferred method is the like button.
@houser have you searched the plugin repo? Many plugins have been created since this thread started.
In the file entry.php in the activity folder you can see a comment that explains how to show xprofile fields in the member loop
In reply to: How to make car community with these functionsYou can create your own BuddyPress component. Look at the BuddyPress skeleton component plugin for an example of how. You would have to create the proper functionality to be specific to your need but the plugin shows you how to attach functionality to profiles and activity streams.
I want to point out that BuddyPress works out of the box but if you start changing things and adding plugins this has nothing to do with the core development team. So to blame them that your custom install doesn’t work is not fair. Everyone on this support forum offering help is on a volunteer basis and as they say, “you get what you pay for”.

As for this site, I’d rather the default theme be activated and the live updating that’s been going on for over 2 months stop. I can’t find my topics to help with support. Pretty much gave up on anything that isn’t on the first page.
