Sorry, @hnla, didn’t mean to offend! In my experience, if something doesn’t work and then you’re advised to change it to something else that does work, it usually means the original was wrong!

Don’t suppose you have any insights into why it’s still not adding the entry to the Show menu?

Cheers!

Hmm… just come across some other problems.

1. The codex example still isn’t inserting the entry into the Show drop-down menu.

2. I have a post type called “document” and that isn’t working at all, although my others are.

Finally, and this is just an observation, but I wonder why all of this is necessary. The WordPress function…[Read more]

Thanks all for this. I can confirm that it has solved the problem.

I had already worked out that 'component_id' => buddypress()->activity->id was wrong and should be 'component_id' => 'activity', but it’s interesting to find that the source of the problem was that the codex example was (and still is, btw) hooking into the wrong action.

Now, on a…[Read more]

*bump* I can’ believe no-one else has this problem!

I’ve had this problem for years with BuddyPress updates.

Each time you update BuddyPress you need to get into the habit of going to Settings > Permalinks and clicking on Save Changes (you don’t need to actually change anything, just click Save Changes)!

Hope that helps

Hi tstrickland415, thanks for the input, but I am only talking about creating new posts. I wouldn’t expect it to effect old posts as they are already stored in the database!

Hi shanebp

Thanks for the that, but I have tried the repair tools, and they don’t do anything to help me.

Yes, I know of that script, but was rather hoping that there was something that I’d overlooked without having to get my hands dirty directly editing the database!

Seems to me that this is something that the repair tools should handle. I…[Read more]

Since BP 1.6 there has been a constant that defines this.

Just add define ( 'BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION', 'forum' ); to your functions.php or bp-custom.php file.

From then on, when you click to go to a group, it will display the group’s forum page instead of the normal ‘Home’ activity landing page.

Private BuddyPress by Dennis Morhardt works an absolute treat for me.

Thanks @shanebp, yes I know how to trouble-shoot WP – I was hoping that, since it’s reporting as coming from WP’s functions.php, this might be a known issue, so thought I’d ask first before taking the site offline.

I have my wp-debug set to write to a log file. I cleared the file and loaded one page, and saw the 2 errors repeated 4 times. So,…[Read more]

Well, I’ve solved the problem – or, at least, what was causing MY problem – others may be having different issues.

Background: I originally set up this site in BP 1.6. When 1.7 came along and the old built-in forum system was deprecated, I installed bbPress 2.3 as instructed and it migrated all of my forums over to the new system.

So, I…[Read more]

In theory if you set your group to “Private” or “Hidden” then non-group members are not supposed to be able to see the posts in that group’s bbForum.

However, and this is denied by the developers, I am experiencing a bug which is making all forum posts appear in the site-wide activity stream to all members, although when they click on the link…[Read more]

BuddyPress groups can’t have categories associated with them. My advice would be to just set up a different group for each island. You can make each group private to ensure that only members of that group can see the forum posts within.

Additionally, there is a plugin which will give groups hierarchies if you wanted to make it easier to group…[Read more]

Update: bbPress 2.4 does not fix the bug!

Will there ever be a resolution to this problem? BP 1.8 with bbPress 2.3.2 on WP 3.6 still sees forum posts in Private groups appearing in non-group members’ activity streams!
