Thanks, @wiste… Yes, I still come over here when something goes wrong. 🙂 But, things have been pretty smooth over there lately. Members are still confused about how to use it, but I do a lot of hand holding and eventually they catch on. I’m not going to mess with it anymore and just hope that over time, new updates will make things simpler for…[Read more]

Thanks, @danpb. It looks like that worked, although the feed is not detecting an image. We are using RSS Multi-Importer to pull in feeds for this page: http://www.tafaforum.com/tafamemberblogs

I added the feed as you suggested and it pulled our last post (Selling on Etsy), but no image. When I registered the blog using…[Read more]

Can somebody help me with this? I know that there are a ton of other threads asking for help, but I think this is really important in terms of making the blog on a site using BuddyPress usable on social media sites. I can’t list the rss feed anywhere because the feed pulls the whole activity stream and we don’t need all of our comments and…[Read more]

A related issue is how forum post links show up elsewhere. For example, we have a private group on facebook and I am directing them to the various forum topics that I am creating. All of the links show up as TAFA Forum Group. It gets really confusing if you post a lot of them. I would think this also has to do with how the permalinks and feeds…[Read more]

I had the same problem with one of my users and found that w3-total-cache was causing the problem.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/

I disabled it and she could post again.

Check the support area of your hyper cache plugin and see if others are reporting stuff there. W3-Total-Cache was full of people reporting bad things happening…

Thanks, Hugo. I understood about half of what you said. 🙂

I think I do pretty well for someone who kicks and screams at code, but have huge gaps of knowledge. Not everything makes sense or is intuitive. Once I do something, it sinks in. Thick skulled, I guess….

OK, I’ll try that tomorrow. I did look for some tutorials, but every one I looked at assumed that you already knew where to create the file… 🙂

Thank you, @mercime, but where do you create the file in the first place? I suppose I can go google it, but am so exhausted…… whew!

@hnla, since you have been patient with me so far, Hugo, can you help me with my initial question of the Activity streams? I found the following and made notes in my forum help area on my site:

I want to disable replies on the Activity Streams because they do not carry through to the original post in the Group Forums.

My notes on how to do…[Read more]

@hnla, Hugo, I was able to figure it out! (Jumping up and down!)

I got it to work! Whew!

I did a lot of different things, including installing an older version of bbPress, but I don’t know if that matters. Actually, it probably does, because I was then able to see the forums on the backend again.

What did seem to make a difference was d…[Read more]

I did clean my browser’s cookies and have W3 Cache installed. There is nothing recent on the bbpress site on this issue.

What should I do, Hugo?

Thanks, Hugo. I do appreciate the dialog, but now there is another issue and I’m at my wits end. I was trying different editors the skinny one that BuddyPress provides now is not so great. All of a sudden, I could not post in forums. I had lost my permissions as an administrator. I was already tired and worked on it for two hours, scouring the…[Read more]

I’ve been thinking about the concept of gratefulness since I last posted here, an hour and a half ago. This is how I feel about BuddyPress right now:

It’s like a community group having a housing fund and giving me a really nice house to live in. It has ceramic tiles in the kitchen and bath, wood floors, a nice yard, some beautiful accents, and…[Read more]

OK, I just thought it would make it easier for you guys to respond to similar issues on one type of topic and that people reading through threads might find their answers there as they read through responses instead of trying to read through so many threads. I always check similar threads before posting because I don’t want to bother you guys.

Thanks, Hugo. But, is there a way to disable commenting on the Activity Streams without knowing code? That is exactly what I want to do.

If not, can you point me somewhere where there is info on how to do it? There is just too much info to dig through.

The only thing that I have found is in BuddyPress>Settings where it says:
Blog & Forum…[Read more]

Mine was also super slow and we moved from Blue Host to MDD Hosting and that took care of most of it. I also installed W3 Total Cache because I was told to… It’s much better! http://www.tafaforum.com
