You can adapt the code snippet in here by changing the blog id: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/posts-of-the-main-blog-in-site-wide-activity/

If your theme follows the default structure, you’ll find your activity loop in my-theme/activity/activity-loop.php

Also have a look at the custom…[Read more]

Two options spring to mind: 1. You could add a filter on new blog posts creating an activity stream entry, check the blog id, and exclude appropriately. A bit of searching in the BuddyPress plugin files should find the correct filter to add. 2. Or, in your activity stream loop, check the activity item id […]

@dubbelf –

Yes, members can have their own blog – it’s a standard feature of a WordPress Multisite install.

Follow the instructions here to set up Multisite: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

Then check everything works, including custom permalinks.

Install BuddyPress (automatic plugin install)

And, hey, you will have an admin…[Read more]

Here’s an example of how to do it for messages:
<a href=&quot;">Inbox ()</a>

You can adapt that with appropriate slugs for all the menu options. If you want further pointers, @pollyplummer ‘s sliding admin panel will give you a good example of how to adapt and reimplement the account menu

Have a look at a basic WordPress install with a theme like P2

@porscheheritage – Yes, BuddyPress would definitely benefit from a serious UX review. Theming is much harder work than it should be. It’s far too tightly coupled to the core, with too much presentation code / decision making embedded and difficult to change. The permalink activity pages are definitely the worst presented and often most useless aspect […]

You’ll need to modify the post metadata display in your child theme.

Take a look at the function: bp_core_time_since()

It’s defined in bp-core.php

It uses a technique described in http://1976design.com

@janismo – anything’s possible (just about) by re-working the CSS in your child theme. Essentially, this is a CSS question rather than a BuddyPress question. Are you building your own theme? Do you know how to write to CSS? A good starting point to understand the markup and get a pointer where to re-work the CSS […]

Yes.

you will need to rework your sitewide activity loop code, adding a simple check for blog post activity from the main blog, and skipping processing as appropriate:

Something like: if ((bp_get_activity_type == 'new_blog_post') && (bp_get_activity_item_id() == 1)) continue;

@gearupandplay – yes, it’s a real shame that there seems to be no support / ongoing development for Links. It could be a useful plugin.

I’ll see if there’s a possibility for us to fund someone picking it up (it may have potential for one of our current projects).

@lennyrogal – as a starting point, take a look at the bp media+ plugin (or one of the other picture album plugins)

@daquarian – what code are you using to create your State chooser?

If you post the code / describe where and how you are using it in more detail, someone may be able to help you.

@imjscn – post that as a separate support question

A solution is covered in this thread https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/replace-activity-stream-blog-excerpt-with-the_excerpt/?topic_page=1&num=15

@imjscn – you’ve got the file name wrong, you need a hyphen not an underscore bp-custom.php

If you are wanting to mod CSS on a complicated theme, you should really work with a tool like Firebug in Firefox or developer tools in safari… It will save you an awful lot of time
