FWIW, I’m working on my own plugin for this, which is coming out when I’ve finished my theme. No time table for release.

Screenie:

Allows you to upload unlike the plugin above and supports groups. What my plugin currently doesn’t have is a default selection of custom backgrounds.

@nahummadrid – This is a known bug. Using bp_core_remove_nav_item() will remove access to those pages as well. Right now, I’d suggest hiding the nav item via CSS or by hacking the $bp global to remove the item.

@shanebp, @nahummadrid – The problem is BP Follow uses an older method to add items to the nav. The plugin needs to be updated to use the newer BP conventions; I’m thinking of asking Andy for contributor access. In the meantime, you need to make sure your code runs after BP Follow. Change: add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'sc_remove_nav_tabs', 15 );…

This feature is upcoming in the next release.

@onyx808 – FYI, this format is going to change in the next release as I’m phasing out this code. (Bad code by me!). It will be available in a filter instead. The better option is to remove the filter entirely when you’re on the homepage: `if ( bp_is_front_page() ) { remove_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_content_body’, ‘ray_bp_oembed’, 9 ); remove_filter( […]

Ahh cool! 🙂

@celsosoares – I haven’t debugged your code fully, but this section: WHERE meta_value = 'favorite_count' ORDER BY meta_value should be: WHERE meta_key = 'favorite_count' ORDER BY meta_value DESC — Also, the documentation for the include parameter indicates that you have to pass a comma-delimited list of activity IDs. So you’ll need to change…[Read more]

@beppe999 – That’s one way of doing it. It’s a quick way to achieve what you want, however you lose the ability to properly paginate and to grab a specific amount of members.

First, you’ll need to know how to create a shortcode:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API

Then, you’ll need to add the shortcode parameters you just created from the article above in a BP members loop:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-members-loop/

Check out the “bp_core_mysteryman_src” and “bp_core_fetch_avatar” filters located in /bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php.

This article details a little bit of how to do it:
http://wpmu.org/how-to-add-a-custom-default-avatar-for-buddypress-members-and-groups/

Please read the second point in the “Registration” section:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/faqs/specific-faqs/#register

You should preferably use:

In the example above, if header-example.php doesn’t exist, it will always fallback to the default header.php.

Yup, BuddyPress will always be free! If you paid for it, try and get a refund 😉
There will never be a paid version.

However, there are some 3rd-party premium themes and plugins that you can add to BuddyPress, which will cost a bit of moolah.
