Lastly – you didn’t mention your hosting solution – but most providers now offer WP configs or default to it. Assuming most or all of your issues are related to your VM setup, then those issues will melt when you push to production.
You can switch to a WP theme like 2016 or 2017 – iow. ‘safe’.
All plugins should work with a WP theme.
So momentarily switching to a WP theme will provide hints re whether the issue is in your theme or a plugin.
Your issues are too specific to your setup for you to get more then general suggestions here.
You should read up on what they do and how to use action and filter hooks.
Untested, just to give you the general idea..
function jen_check_avatar_upload( true, $file, $upload_dir_filter ) {
// check the $file re type, dims, etc
// if you don't like the value of any param,
// return false
return true;
}
add_action( 'bp_core_pre_avatar_handle_upload', 'jen_check_avatar_upload', 10, 3 );
“Show Toolbar when viewing site” is a WP setting.
Somebody probably has such a function.
But you should ask a larger audience – try wordpress.org/support/
As of BuddyPress 2.0, last_activity is no longer stored in usermeta.
However, it is mirrored there for backward compatibility.
Instead, refer to the _bp_activity table.
My first reply included a link to code for insuring that all members have a ‘last_activity’ timestamp.
Did you follow the directions and run the code?
If the issues persist, you need to do some basic debugging.
Start by using a WP theme like 2017 and use the BP > Options > Template Pack > BuddyPress Legacy templates. If that clears up the issues, then you need to get a solution from BuddyBoss.
If the issues persist, deactivate any other plugins.
If the issues persist, there is a serious and unknown problem.
Otherwise, activate the other plugins one at a time until you see an issue.
On the front end, go to a group and select ‘Manage’.
You should end up on an url like: .../groups/your-group/admin/edit-details/
And be able to edit the description.
On the back-end, wp-admin > Groups > roll over a group name and select ‘Edit’.
I’m not very familiar with Nouveau.
I think you’re using a custom ‘front.php’ template ?
Perhaps you could add a hook to that template and write a function to call whenever that template loads. Not very slick, but easy and flexible.
In this context, item_id is related to the component.
For example, if the component is ‘groups’, then the item_id is a group id.
And secondary_item_id is kinda like another filter, maybe a comment_id.
But custom-rolling an activity list is going to lead you, at some point, into a dead end.
A much better approach is to use the many parameters of bp_has_activities.
And maybe write some custom sql to gather data arrays to feed into that function.
