Thanx @oliver_rub!

I now see that you added this composer to bbPress inside BuddyPress groups 🙂

We would like it to work on the activity stream, so even without having to install bbPress. Sorry for not reading more careful in an earlier stage..

@oakcreative, were you able to get the WYSIWYG visual composer working in the BuddyPress activity stream without installing bbPress?

Thanx peepz!

@benworxnl sure, I use the bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/) which is pretty much just the same as what is suggested by bbPress (see the post of danbp above).

This is the BuddyPress forum.

The bbPress forum is here.

Re avatars: Your css has .bbp-author-avatar set to display:none.

I don’t know why emoticons are not working.

I run a few multi-sites, but don’t know all that much really.
And I stopped using bbpress several years ago.. however from what I understand you install bbpress as a plugin in root, not in a subdomian.. at least I’d try that in your situation, I imagine there are some docs about that somewhere.

“what should be network enabled or site enabled.” – I struggle with this sometimes, a few plugins will have info about this on their install/usage pages – many do not. Some plugins claim to work with multi-site, and some have problems (last version of succuri security did I think)

Hi @mrjarbenne could you help me with my setup? I have both buddypress and bbpress enabled for the network. I have bbpress setup on my main site and bbpress setup on my subdomain. Should the members have capabilities site-wide? I would think so. Yet when I try to access the forums page I am redirected to the buddypress registration page.

I don’t have any experience with multisites and most of what I read just confuses me. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Your question pertains to bbPress, not BuddyPress.
The bbPress support forum is here.

Anyhow…
The filter hook you want is in bbpress\includes\common\functions.php

apply_filters( 'bbp_forum_subscription_mail_message', $message, $topic_id, $forum_id, $user_id );

function jorrit_filter_forum_topic_message_email( $message, $topic_id, $forum_id, $user_id ) {

    $message = wp_trim_words( $message, 15 ); // change 15 to however many words you want

    return $message;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_forum_subscription_mail_message', 'jorrit_filter_forum_topic_message_email', 10, 4 );

Do you have bbPress plugin installed. If not, please install “bbPress” plugin and on its settings page, enable forums for BuddyPress. That will do it.

I’m not sure if bbPress functions are available via that action hook, but if they are then this might work:

function imath_activity_dont_save( $activity_object ) {

    $exclude = array( 'bbp_topic_create', 'bbp_reply_create');
    $exclude_forum_ids = array( 1, 23, 44 ); // the ids of the specific forums to exclude

    if( in_array( $activity_object->type, $exclude ) ) {
       $forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
        if( in_array( $forum_id, $exclude_forum_ids ) ) 
            $activity_object->type = false;
    }
}
add_action('bp_activity_before_save', 'imath_activity_dont_save', 10, 1 );

@bruce30 I’ve made an edit to the code above which means it’ll now work for all text on your site, not just bbPress or BuddyPress text. So now if a new third-party plugin you add decides to use the word Forum, that will also be translated. I think this is a better approach.

Hi,

you need to use bbpress.po translation file, even if your site is in default english language.
Or if you only want to modify one word, you can use this snippet from inside your child-theme’s functions.php (will also work in bp-custom.php)

function bruce_change_name( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {
		
	if ( 'bbpress' !== $domain )  
	return $translated; 
	
	switch ( $original_text ) {
		
		case 'Forums':  // original word
		return 'Four Rhum'; // your custom word
		
		default:
		return $translated;
	}
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'bruce_change_name', 10, 3 );

WP reference: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/gettext/

The first one refers to bbPress.
And can be difficult to track down. It may be in the bbPress plugin or another plugin that calls bPress .

2. Something, not BuddyPress, is creating a Widget using a deprecated constructor method.

3. Is related to a JetPack module.

The first step to getting rid of those Notices is identifying the source, so:
– switch momentarily to a WP theme like 2013 and see if any persist
– turn off plugins one at a time and see if any persist

Time consuming…

@henrywright,
Are you sure this is a bbPress thing ? In the profile of a standard WordPress/bbPress install, I don’t seem to have a ‘Forum’ button in my profile.

Hi @bruce30

Give this guys a shout over at bbPress.

so the moderator user role is actually a function of bbpress not buddypress so you may have more luck on that forum than here but have you run the the bbpress repair scripts?

While this doesn’t help much, it’s an issue with bbPress, not BuddyPress.

hmm not sure think that’s above my pay grade might want to ask in the bbpress forums if nobody else here can help.

there’s no need actually the user list is the same (wordpress’) and buddypress does not have any forum functionality other than compatibility with what bbpress provides.

I want people to be able to register as Subscribers but Subscribers should not see any of the BuddyPress/bbPress stuff, only the Contributors and above should be part of the BuddyPress/bbPress community.

…

So you want to limit access to BP content based on a user’s role.
That is a different issue from the original poster’s issue.

I am not sure I understand what you are talking about. What are subscribers?
I mean if I subscribe to get email notification that shouldn’t make the corresponding postings open to non-members even if they subscribed to the corresponding postings. so what do you mean by subscribers?

With the WordPress 4.4/BuddyPress 2.4.3/bbPress 2.5.8, if you set any of the BuddyPress pages set to private you get the following error “The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams. Repair”

True – If you set Visibility to Private!
Not true if you set the ‘Public or Private’ checkbox provided by the BP Simple Private.

You should create a new topic.
The BP Simple Private plugin discussed above is not applicable to your issue.
