BuddyPress.org

$bp->default_component is only used for the members component, so when you’re on a member’s profile page, the default component you see, by default, is the user’s activity loop; otherwise, it’s the user’s profile loop.

The easiest way is to use CSS to hide the comment link.

The alternative is to copy the entry template into your child […]

Try modifying the BP Activity Stream widget to do what you need:

BuddyPress Sitewide Activity Widget for BuddyPress 1.2 and above

It’s applicable for all activity, but it’s probably possible […]

Strange… the plugin doesn’t touch any aspect of user roles or permissions; it should work as-is.
Perhaps try logging in as another user to see if the same problem happens? Also try other URLs?

Use any setting but the default.

Hook into the filters or actions whenever possible. (Basically anywhere in the codebase with an ‘apply_filters’ or ‘do_action’ call.) Otherwise, you’ll run into major upgrade problems and headaches depending on the level […]

I definitely do not recommend what humarahema suggested.

Follow what mercime says.

Hi Steve,

Missed your mentions.

do_actions can be found by searching for them. If you have a good search program, do a search for “do_action” throughout the /plugins/buddypress/ folder. (You’ll get a lot of results! […]
