BuddyPress.org

Simple answer: Yes, bbPress should be appearing in your activity feed. In mine, both the forum from the main domain and forums from Public Groups create an activity entry (You can enable Group Forums in Settings/Forums)

“username” replied to the topic “forum topic name” in the forum “Forum Name” 3 months, 4 weeks ago

Sorry I can’t offer more assistance as to why this isn’t working for you. In my install, on the Activity Feed, there are separate filters in the dropdown for Topics and Replies to filter and locate bbpress content on the activity feed. It’s fully integrated out-of-the-box for me.

So I got it to work when I put this after line 287:

add_filter('bp_get_activity_action', 'pccf_filter');
add_filter('bp_get_activity_content_body', 'pccf_filter');
add_filter('bp_get_the_topic_title', 'pccf_filter');
add_filter('bp_get_the_topic_post_content', 'pccf_filter');
add_filter('bp_activity_comment_content', 'pccf_filter');

I’m not really one for PHP though, so I’m not sure if that works entirely fine. I was able to filter the comments with that code too.

Basically you’re adding it to the plugin filters so that it thinks it should also filter through the comments and activity.

For further reference, line 284 should start like this and then end where it says “//bbPress specific filtering…” (make sure the apostrophes are showing up right, if you copy and paste code sometimes they get messed up but look the same, that’s why the comments weren’t happening before):

	if ( isset( $tmp['chk_post_content'] ) ) {
		if ( $tmp['chk_post_content'] == '1' ) {
			add_filter( 'the_content', 'pccf_filter' );
			add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'pccf_filter' );
add_filter('bp_get_activity_action', 'pccf_filter');
add_filter('bp_get_activity_content_body', 'pccf_filter');
add_filter('bp_get_the_topic_title', 'pccf_filter');
add_filter('bp_get_the_topic_post_content', 'pccf_filter');
add_filter('bp_activity_comment_content', 'pccf_filter');
		}

I read another solution here

1. Install and activate this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-exec-php/

2. Create a new page called “Friends” or whatever name you want and add it to your menu.

3. In content of this page, add this code

<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0;URL=http://blabla.com/members/<?php global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();

echo sanitize_file_name($current_user->user_login). “”;

?>/activity/friends/”>

4. You may still need a way to hide this menu from logged out users. Plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/if-menu/

hi @carlenb,

there is no buddypress forum. BuddyPress use the bbPress forum plugin, and once it is installed you can opt for a global forum or a group forum or both.

worddraw is outdated.
drawblog mentionned in the topic you linked is for wp comments and according to support doesn’t work with ios.

Perhaps try this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/deviantart-muro/

As you can read, some of those aren’t related to BuddyPress. What versions of BuddyPress, bbPress, and WordPress are you using?

Sorry, my english is a bit french! 😉 Is this really unclear:
So you have nothing other to do as to create them from the settings page.

And you have nothing to activate in the menu.
The log-in option in the menu exist if you prefer to get on the menu bar instead of a sidebar, throught the login widget.

By default there is a login widgt in wordpres, another one in buddypress and if you use bbpress you get a third. But there is no need to use and activate all.

For the naming, you can use what you want, but be aware that naming vocabulary can easily conflict with coding language such as php. And log in (or loggin, log-in,….) is one of these dangereous word. Avoid !

In BP now uses the bbPress plugin for forums, sitewide or groups.

Group cats would be a great built-in feature.
Have a look at this plugin.
Here’s an article about it.

Good day!
Replaced bbpress links to Cyrillic.
As a result, when you add a post has received a page with a redirect (see picture). When you refresh the page posts are added.
It turns out the problem was not in the server, and not in the subject, and in the plugin bbpress.
It does not support Cyrillic (!!!) (links are empty), and incorrectly generated link to the start of the topic.
In the settings bbpress had to change all references to the Latin fonts back (before I translated them in Cyrillic, so it was nice and clear for the user, because I’m in Russia).

The result: everything works and no redirect, throws on the right.

Developer bbpress: please note this problem, need to adjust the plug-in.

Sincerely,
Denis

Добрый день!
Сменил ссылки bbpress на кириллицу.
В итоге при добавлении поста получил страницу с редиректом (смотрите картинку). При обновлении страницы посты добавляются.
Оказывается проблема была не в сервере, и не в теме, а в плагине bbpress.
Он не поддерживает кириллицу (!!!) (ссылки становятся пустыми), а также неправильно генерируется ссылка на созданную тему.
В настройках bbpress пришлось менять все ссылки на латинницу обратно (до этого я их переводил в кириллицу, чтоб было красиво и понятно для пользователя, ведь я в России).

В итоге: всё работает и редиректа нет, перекидывает на тему правильно.

Для разработчиков bbpress: просьба учесть данную проблему, необходима корректировка плагина.

С уважением,
Денис

Yep, I know what you’re referring to. It’s a legacy option that’s only important if you’ve the Groups and Forums components enabled, and if you use bbPress 1.

Note that if you’re using the plugin version of bbPress, you’ll be on version 2.x of bbPress, and so this won’t apply to you.

@ancavreasy really depends on the scale your company is willing to engage with the customers.

If you only need forums, you do not need BuddyPress, just install bbPress plugin. For a more engaged community interaction via groups, friending, profiles, etc, then BuddyPress is your plugin.

@noyzen
Have you tried this plugin that supposed to translate WP/BP/bbPress to Persian? Link below:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/persian-world/

@cregy you need to install bbPress forums plugin then follow instructions https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

It’s a bbpress question ! 😉
And it’s a bad idea, because users will have acces to your media library on the backend. So i warn you to use this option very carefully and allow only trusted users.

You can use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/
or code yourself by following this example.

The bbpress example is a good one.

But just fyi – the BuddyPress codex page is here: bp_notifications_add_notification page.

did you read this example in the documentation? https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.3/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php

there is a function for that: bp_notifications_add_notification( $args )

For my subdirectory I created the /community page

@swoopswoop Just to clarify, creating a new page titled “Community” and adding the BP component links under that does not a subdirectory make 🙂 i.e., if you did not create a multisite installation nor create a physical subdirectory, then BuddyPress is installed at the root of your WP installation. By the same token, bbPress is also installed in the same way.

Re-run permalinks settings again via admin menu Settings > Permalinks choosing option other than default to remove 404.

I’m trying to install buddypress and BBpress into a subdirectory of my website

@swoopswoop To clarify, do you mean a physical subdirectory, i.e., you created a subdirectory folder, or do you mean a secondary site of a WP multisite installation with subdirectory structure?

@louisedade do also post at the bbPress forums https://bbpress.org/forums/
