BuddyPress.org

Can you specify which pages the string shows up on?

@mentions- currently do not show up in your notifications menu; I believe this might be included in BP 1.3 due early next year.

Can you try overwriting what is in your /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/ folder from the manual package?

Do the buttons show up when you use the bp-default theme?

Check out the following network plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-new-blog-defaults/

It doesn’t add a field on the registration page, but it gives the super admin the option of adding users to specific blogs in the admin area.

Sounds like you have the image working, but you need to get acquainted with CSS, especially the float declaration.

Try fooling around with this in your stylesheet:.entry .thumbnail {float:left; padding-right:1em;}

Feel free to fill in the gaps.

For the alternative method, use Rich’s block activity types plugin:

There’s a bug in the ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_datebox’ that’s preventing overriding the date field. See – https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2947. — @bobsie – To override the year value temporarily, you’ll need to patch /buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-templatetags.php: https://trac.buddypress.org/attachment/ticket/2947/2947.001.patch (only l…[Read more]

@ewebber – Just checked. Yeah the message gets escaped, so you can’t add HTML by default. If you want to add HTML, you’ll have to remove how BP renders the message, then you’ll have to write your own custom message function. Untested, but this should work in your theme’s functions.php : ` remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_core_setup_message’, 2 ); function […]

You can apply a filter to ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_datebox’ to add extra years: apply_filters( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_datebox', $html, $day, $month, $year, $default_select ); Find the bp_get_the_profile_field_options() function in /buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-templatetags.php where this filter is defined, so you’ll have a better idea of…[Read more]

Like I mentioned, that is the intended behaviour. This is probably done to prevent accidentally spamming your users every time the group description is changed.

Object caching bug most likely experienced with W3 Total Cache.
If you don’t have W3 Total Cache installed, not sure.

Looks like one of my old code snippets! Sorry for the problems, Boone!

Thanks for noting the problems!

Try reading up on enabling a third-party provider for WordPress’ embedding capability: https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds#How_Can_I_Add_Support_For_More_Websites.3F If you want to use Wistia code, which I’m guessing you need to use the or tags, you’ll need to bypass the activity filters that are in place by default, so malicious content will not…[Read more]

@bplove – There’s a plugin for that:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-comments/

Granted it needs to be updated like this one as well.

You basically have to unhook how BuddyPress creates feeds and create your own files and display methods.

Here’s a thread from awhile back detailing how to do this for the group activity feed:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/group-activity-feed-1/

You should be able to duplicate this for all the other…[Read more]

This is the default behaviour, which is kind of counter-intuitive.

I would recommend using the BP Group Email subscription plugin instead (which I believe you’re thinking of):
