BuddyPress.org

I was running WP and BBPress… and user where handled as forum user by bbPress. Now you use BP and bbpress aside.
Deactivate bbpress and make sure you have only one member page (and no one in trash too). Sync BP profiles with WP – all this can be done in BP settings. Check that all is working correctly, then reactivate bbPress.

Now if it still doesn’t work, sorry for you, but there is no result without effort. You have an issue and we’re trying to debug it.

I presume you have no local install where you could test previously from prod site ?

Keep Twenty Twelve active and deactivate all plugins, as the issue may come from a js conflict which we have to isolate at first.

If you use some mu-plugin or custom functions in bp-custom.php, think to remove them temporary.

Thanks @danbp

It works. I am also using bbpress. I found these activity types created by bbpress in DB and added them to code given by you.

bbp_topic_create
 bbp_reply_create

As mentioned by you also it may be confusing for some users and may cause problems in some situations , if someone is using a plugin like rtMedia that also creates activities.

Can you share a code that will let us just remove unwanted activity type?

@djsteveb,

i wouldn’t remove the whole action hook, as other functionnalities from other plugins, can use it. Filtering is even better.

bp_parse_{component}_args is intended to filter template loops.

If you remove an {activity} type with this function, it will remove that activity from each activity feed (swa, profile and group). Something like an all or nothing thing.

bp_parse return values. So if you want to remove something, you have to list what you want to keep to show, and not what to remove !

Here a snippet, listing all existing BP activity types (2.2.x). Simply comment or remove the type you don’t want.

function my_bp_activity_types( $retval ) {
// list of all BP activity types  - remove or comment those you won't show.
    $retval['action'] = array(        
        'activity_comment',
		'activity_update',
		'created_group',
		'friendship_created',
		'joined_group',
		'last_activity',
		'new_avatar',
		'new_blog_comment',
                'new_blog_post',
		'new_member',
		'updated_profile'        
    );
 
    return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_bp_activity_types' );

IMPORTANT: copy/paste to bp-custom.php or child-theme functions.php. Used as-is will do nothing ! You have to remove the type you don’t want from the list….

Third party plugins (like bbPress) use also activity types. Easiest way to get the right type name is to check xxxx_bp_activity table in DB and search for it in the Type column.

@umar007, removing friendship_created will solve your question.

@djsteveb, remove new_avatar ! 😉

@labsupplyorg –
Topics? You mean like bbpress forums topics? What do you mean exactly by “topic pages”?

I would..
check your permanlinks perhaps? go there, note what they are.. change them to something else.. save.. then change back.. save again..
May not be related, but on one of my sites this similar issue crops up every other time I update rtmedia plugin for some reason.

Does this happen if you disable other plugins?
Does this happen with the default twenty-fifteen or 2014 theme?

@alex42152,

The main site language should be set to spanish first.
See in WP dashboard > Stettings > General

Normally, this settings allows automatic translation file upload of BuddyPress and bbPress (if installed).
If not, you can add manually the language files in the wp-content/languages/plugins/ folder to get:

wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-es_ES.mo
wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-es_ES.po

Each version of BP comes also with its own translatable strings file, which is at the BP plugin root.
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/buddypress.pot

1) depends which type of forum you use (standalone or group forum)

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

2) see here how to do that

3) i’m not aware of such feature for BP

@bigswp,

if you have the same config today as @enaijo 5 months ago, update first.
Actually: WordPress 4.2.3 BuddyPress 2.3.2.1 and bbPress 2.5.8-5815

If the issue is still in, ensure that you have some friendship, as you can only invite friends to join a group.

If all this is ok, you can open a ticket.
Give details about your config and any hint about how to reproduce your issue and mention this topic.

@kjgbriggs – just took a look at your oblivion thing you like – it appears to be the forums layout you are concerned with here – which may end up being more of a “bbpress” theme-ing issue – not so much buddypress… last I checked you can add “bbpress” as an auto-addon for buddypress – but if it’s not profiles and activity stream stuff – you may need to look up some “bbpress” specific theme things if you run into issues – not sure if they go over all that at bbpress dot org these days or not.. I have not checked those forums / docs in years.

@jrunfitpro What do you mean by “removing bbPress”? Deactivating/deleting bbPress from Plugins page doesn’t cause any issue per check in my local installation. WP/BP/bbPress versions?

@lorenzoto – take a look at s2member plugin and or maybe the “press permit core” – both in the wp repo – they may do what you are describing – have not tested with bbpress stuff yet – so not 100% sure, but think I saw something in both of them for bb stuff.

I am sure there are other similar options out there as well.

bbPress is a separate plugin. You’d need to install that as well as BuddyPress.

Check your site-wide settings, in wp-admin, for Forums.

btw: this is the BuddyPress support forum.

The bbPress support forum is here.

sorry, password is: demouser

I hope it shows a bit more then just a bbpress forum thats added,
Took me a long time to add the custom functions, especially the profile pages and activity.

@felipexx85 You’d need to go to your site’s Activity directory page e.g. http://example.com/activity
The content of the selectbox will depend on what components you have activated and plugin you have installed. For example, Topics and Replies only show up in the selectbox if bbPress plugin is activated.

@thatmtnman – sounds to me that you just have not played with a few different themes and changing some widgets – that would do about everything you are saying from what I gather. Should be pretty easy to come up with what you are talking about with just some basic theme modifications – a little css color changes and different widgets in the sidebars.

“dying to see how you did it” – I think the site you are talking about just added a bbpress forums plugin and added some topics to the sidebar.

“BP might not be able to handle a high traffic site…” – handles a small site on a shared server fine – handles a site with 10,000 members on a dedicated server just fine (even sharing that dedicated with a dozen other wp and wp-multisite and bunch of other fair traffic sites – so I don’t think that would be an issue.
