There’s been some chat on Slack about this, it’s being looked into and seems it’s not an isolated case.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

Hi Mike,

It looks like we have repeated '%s new', and if you remove that is should work.

Are you able to give that a try?

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

This is something I’m working on in the plugin I’m building as a result of this thread: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/disable-rss/

I already have the code to remove stuff from wp search in another plugin I have, I just need to put that into this new plugin and update it specifically for this task.

I should have some code in the next week.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

Currently, I’ve got part of the solution, I can redirect all the bbPress feed links to a 404 or back to the originating page. However, I want to remove those links, and ideally stop the rss functions from being triggered. I did find some clues for that on friday when I last worked on it, and should be back working on it on Monday.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

I woke up thinking, don’t forget bbPress.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

Yep could you create a new thread for this? It just means we keep to the same topic and it won’t confuse future viewers.

I’ve decided to write a new bp privacy plugin which makes all bbp, wp, and bp pages private, disables xml rpc and also rest, removes the rss links and aims to deal with all privacy issues in one plugin, with settings to give flexibility.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

check for a bp-custom.php file in your plugins directory, and check if you have anything in the themes functions.php file.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

If it was me, I’d consider deleting those old tables from the database to BP can start again.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

Do you get any errors?

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

No, there should be options for three pages there.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

Which URL page is that?

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

Here’s another security/privacy related issue you may not be aware of – by default, the BP REST API is enabled, you might like to disable it:

add_filter( 'bp_rest_api_is_available', '__return_false' );

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

If you don’t get the issue with astra, then it’s not an issue with BuddyPress, it’s Elementor that is the issue. That’s the reason why we ask you to try with another theme.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

This is a very quick and dirty way to remove those feeds –

add_action( 'bp_init', 'disable_bp_activity_feeds' );  

function disable_bp_activity_feeds() {  
    remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed' ); 
    remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_personal_feed' );
    remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_friends_feed' );
    remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_my_groups_feed' );
    remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_mentions_feed' );
    remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_favorites_feed' );
}

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

Actually that disable feeds does not work. I had some functions in my functions.php that made it work. I’ll just crack on with sorting that filter.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

ok, the quick fix is to install – https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-feeds-wp/

So long as this is set to redirect to the homepage (in settings>>Reading), then is will redirect all feed requests to the referring page.

However, those feeds are still being produced, and I have found a filter to disable them completely.

‘bp_is_action_variable’

I’ll see if I can come up with some code for this later.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

I think most people did not realise. I think I’ll need to fork that plugin, but I’ll look to solve this today.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

That’s interesting, I don’t have this issue myself as far as I can see. Certainly, using the Android “app” that I use, it’s fine. My theme does not touch the WordPress top=bar menu, as far as I can see. I use Graphene.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 3 months ago]

That’s not a BuddyPress function, it’s bbPress.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 4 months ago]

you could consider adding a chat facility like Wise Chat perhaps?

Like new posts to user notifications, if there is a lot of blogging.

Streamline the options you make available to users, complexity often puts people off.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 4 months ago]

I don’t do Youzify, they restrict what plugins they will support.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 4 months ago]

Yes, let”s do that. I think this must be something to do with your theme template, since my theme does not have this issue and I do not think it’s anything to do with Buddypress.

It may be that your theme creator will not want to support Buddypress, but you should ask them. However, I have a suggestion for a workaround if they do not want to do this.

I also use a plugin to set a custom header per page, and this works on my BP sites.

Unique Headers

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 4 months ago]

I love psychology, I’ve a site for that myself

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 4 months ago]

So you are saying the header is missing? That blank area?

Also, your site seems very slow.

[@venutius Moderator 2 years, 4 months ago]

Thanks! 🙂

What I can see is that the group menu option that you picked is pointing some odd post_type=buddypress url, which is wrong, it should simply point to https://yoursite.com/groups (or your translation of the word groups.

You can either try editing that menu item, or create a custom link to that URL. (yoursite,com should be your own site address).

Is that a psychology site you have there?
