Have you looked at https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-activity-share/ ? that looks like it does something similar to what you are looking for.

Try running with just BuddyPress active and with a default theme such as 2017, the chaces are it’s another plugin messing with BuddyPress that is causing this.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

Hi there, you seem to be using the wrong filter, try bp_before_xprofile_cover_image_settings_parse_args

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

Yes I’m afraid Jetpack is a bit notorious in not fixing bugs caused in BuddyPress, for BP sites it’s best avoided in my experience.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

I think this comes down to the bp embed function which automatically puts a recognised url into an Iframe.

This function would undo that, however I’m not sure how it would react of other types of embeds but you could give it a try:

add_filter( 'bp_embed_oembed_html', function( $html, $url, $attr, $rawattr ) {
    return '<a href="' . $url . '">' . $url . '</a>';
}, 10, 4 );

Have you looked at https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-followers/ ?

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

I’d think I’ve check for errors in the browser console and also enable WP_DEBUG and see if there are any php errors that might give a clue but it’s very odd if you are getting this with just BP active and on a default theme. The only other things to rule out would be your environment itself – hosting and browser.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

Do you have any custom code that might be messing it up? functions.php, bp-custom.php etc?

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

There’s a plugin that allows you to replace comments with forum topics but I’ve not seen one that replaces them with activity, though by default the BP activity system does integrate with post comments pretty well.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

The uploaded avatar image should display along with the crop dialogue. Not seeing it would indicate a plugin or theme conflict. Did you try with a default theme such as 2017?

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

As far as I can see user ids should not be re-used, that db field is set to auto-increment

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

Group-o-Matic looks like it’s doing something similar to what you want, did you try it? There’s lots of old plugins out there that still work, hence there’s no need to update them.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

I think you would need to raise a new feature request on Trac for this – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

Yes I’d say it can, BP has Hidden and PRivate groups, which means only invited site members can join. For added security you can install BP Registration Options which would allow you to vet all new site members and a privacy plugin such as BP Members Only would make doubly sure of the overall privacy of the site. Search engines won’t see anything since they are not members of the site and those pages will only be available to view by site members who have been invited to join the group. Also, if an existing member wee to turn troll, it’s a lot easier to ban then from the platform entirely.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

Try checking with a user of subscriber role.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

I’d try deactivating all plugins apart from BuddyPress and switching to a default theme, just for a few minutes and see if that fixes it.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

Try removing that code from your functions.php as a start, that’s nav related. This is pretty much the ideal use case for one of my more obscure plugins – https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-template-overloader

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

It’s working fine on my system so there must be something stopping it from working. Did the setting actually save when you edited it?

This will probably come down to a process of elimination – try a default theme, rule out all other plugins and other code modifications.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

Yep this is one of those unhelpful errors where it points to the code generating the actual error message and not the code causing the issue. Have you tried switching to a default theme to rule out that kind of thing entirely? Last time I had one of these it turned out to be code in my bp-custom.php, which was last on my list of things to check.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

That looks like it will, seems to have a generic file type as an option

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

What are you looking to upload? The only plugin that includes an upload feature that I’ aware of is https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-image-field/

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

There’s no plugin that would do this, you’d need to write some custom code for it.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

I just tried this which worked on the edit profile page:

.field-visibility-settings-toggle,
.field-visibility-settings-notoggle {
	display:none;
}

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

You can add this to your functions.php:

function bpex_revise_message_to( $recipients ) {
	
	$href = bp_core_get_user_domain( get_current_user_id() );
	$explode = explode( ', ', $recipients );
	foreach ( $explode as $index => $to_link ) {

	    if ( strpos( $to_link, $href ) !== false ) {
			unset($explode[$index]);
		}
	    }

	$recipients = implode( ', ', $explode );

	return $recipients;
	
}

add_filter('bp_message_thread_to', 'bpex_revise_message_to' );

This does not work with BP Nouveau though.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 6 months ago]

Hi there,

I’d deactivate all other plugins and switch to the 2017 theme then see if that works.
