In reply to: how do I remove this identicon?
BP 1.2.7 might address this problem.
In the meantime, a temporary solution to remove the identicon is posted here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/am-i-going-mad-or-are-there-now-avatars-next-to-posts-in-the-activity-stream/?topic_page=2&num=15#post-76621@fortinmichel – The patch allows you to override the auto-generated excerpt. You still need to actually write the code to override it.
I already answered this question. Answer is available on the first page:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/replace-activity-stream-blog-excerpt-with-the_excerpt/#post-67290In reply to: Feature Request : Topics of Groups I joinedIt’s basically a page template using a forum topics loop.
Get acquainted with the forum topics loop!
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-forum-topics-loop/Not sure if the “forum_id” can be comma-delimited. If so, you could specify specific groups to pull forum topics from.

You could also possibly use the activity stream loop to gather topics of groups you’ve joined as well:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/In reply to: html on profile page? can it be done?Yes, it can be done, but do you want to risk exposing your site to vulnerabilities?
If you still want to do this, add the following code snippet in your theme’s functions.php:
`remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘wp_filter_kses’, 1 );`
In reply to: Member Profile AlignmentJust tested your site.
Works in IE8, IE7 & IE6.In reply to: moderating avatarsThere was just a thread about this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/change-another-users-avatar/#post-77667The bundled version of jQuery in WordPress is different than the stock jQuery library.
WP adds a jQuery.noConflict() call. Most WordPress plugins rely on the WP version of jQuery. So by getting rid of the WP one, you’re going to be breaking some plugins.
I’m pretty sure WP has jquery-ui in their includes folder.
Check out this nifty codex article on wp_enqueue_script() to call a specific, bundled JS:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_scriptIn reply to: Not all themes showing buddypress barYou have to make sure the “ call is in the theme’s footer.php.
If it messes up your layout, try putting it at the very end before the closing “ tag.
In reply to: Remove TAB in Buddypress for newly created pagesYou’ll need to modify wp_list_pages() in your theme’s header.php to exclude the page ID of the classifieds.
If you don’t like messing around with theme files, you could probably try this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/You need to change the_content() to the_excerpt() in your theme’s index.php:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerptIn reply to: Custom CSS ChangesYou’re probably trying to override the default styles so try adding an `!important` declaration in your definition.
eg.
`h1 { color:#ff6600 !important; font-size:x-large !important; font-family: Georgia,serif !important; }`In reply to: New avatars after installing latest BP?If you like secondary avatars, but don’t like the blog ones, you might want to try this:

BuddyPress has forced me to learn a lot more about WordPress as well. A win-win!In reply to: Forum replies not threaded in activity streamThat’s currently the correct behaviour.
The activity stream is a separate component from the group forums.
Could be possible to thread forum replies together in the activity stream with some activity meta… needs investigating.In reply to: Kick (but not ban) a user from a a group?You need to upgrade your Custom Community theme to take advantage of this.
Bug the theme author!Or you can manually do this by mirroring the changes made to /groups/single/admin.php.
In reply to: Header image on network site@bazonline – You shouldn’t have much trouble then. Just activate bp-default on the community blog only and not on all the blogs. If you’re just having problem with the page `
`, go into your community blog’s general settings and change the blog title:<br /> <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_SubPanel" rel="nofollow ugc">https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_SubPanel</a></p> <p><a href="https://buddypress.org/community/members/aweathers/" rel="nofollow ugc">@aweathers</a> – Like I said, you need to modify the header.php file in your child theme to call the main site’s header image. Calling the main site’s header image requires a little bit of PHP coding. Or if you know you’re never going to change the header image, just hardcode the image URL into header.php. In reply to: Forum addressBuddyPress supports forums via the bbPress forum script. It does not offer native SMF import support.
You might be speaking of the BuddyPress SMF Import plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-smf-import/If you haven’t tried it already, give it a shot.
In reply to: Group Forum As Default PageCould try this as an alternative:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/changing-group-tab-display-defaults/#post-55449Instead of relying on the field name, try the field id instead:
`bp_profile_field_data( ‘field=1’ );
// 1 = your field id
`You can find the field id by hovering over the “Edit” or “Delete” button of the field name on the Profile Field Setup screen.
Theming BuddyPress is like theming any other WordPress theme.
You’ll just need to add all the BuddyPress-related template files to your theme for it to be BuddyPress-compatible.There’s a plugin out there that automates this, BP Template Pack: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
However, use it as a guide as it needs to be updated.There’s also another guide by @thekmen, which can be found here:
http://bp-theme-converts.com/convert-buddypress-theme-to-wp-theme/In reply to: I am getting activation key errorBuddyPress doesn’t offer native PayPal support.
You might need to contact the developers of the 3rd-party plugin you’re using to make sure it’s compatible with BuddyPress.
In reply to: Where did user interactions go?BP 1.2.6 made some changes to the way buttons are rendered.
Read this for more info:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-default-theme-changelog/Follow the steps listed in the second point.
If you encounter any other problems with your child theme, please post follow-up responses in this thread.
In reply to: Header image on network siteThe BuddyPress Default theme is not meant to be used network-wide.
If you want to use the same theme across your blogs, you need to create a child theme of the BuddyPress Default theme.
Then you can modify the header (header.php) to use the main site’s header image.
In reply to: Creating a “communitty” home pageYou just need to create a new page with a custom page template and assign this new page as the front page:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page#Creating_a_Static_Front_PageOnce you’ve done this, “Activity” should automatically be added to the nav menu (I think!).
