BuddyPress.org

Regarding my caveat above (that BP activities were not showing up in the BP news feed of a non-admin user), I have discovered that two other plugins I have been using are effecting the behavior here:

1. BuddyBoss Wall: this is not breaking anything, but it does change what the activity stream looks like to the user. In particular, it adds a “news stream” view, similar to Facebook. So for anyone reading this later wondering what I meant by “news stream” above, that’s apparently a BuddyBoss Wall specific view.
2. BuddyPress Activity Privacy: It was when I disabled this plugin that the non-admin user started seeing the activity updates in his news feed as I would have expected. And I’m not saying that this plugin was breaking anything necessarily—could easily have just been some configuration mixup on my part. But it was time for me to remove this plugin anyway because it was adding unnecessary complexity to my site.

So removing the Activity Privacy plugin resolved the caveat. Scenario 4 is now working for me just as I need it to.

Look at https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/member-types/ and https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/bp-member-type-generator/ and http://www.buddyboss.com/product/buddypress-member-types/

if you are a non coder would suggest you look at this paid plugin

BuddyPress User Blog

I have used buddyblog which requires BP simple front end post from the same developer and I have also used User Blog They have different interfaces but function similarly.

i think buddyboss people would help u more on this as its their theme

Activity stream updates support oEmbed for popular sites you can see supported sites here https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds#Okay.2C_So_What_Sites_Can_I_Embed_From.3F

If you want direct uploading on the activity stream there are a few plugin choices that exist. I think one is called RTMedia and there is also one from BuddyBoss.

With regard to activity posts going to the top on older items. I can’t help you with that at the moment, maybe someone else will come along.

@strothi – I’ve split your post into a new topic.

Regarding your error, I’m guessing it is a problem with the BuddyBoss Reorder Tabs plugin.

Can you confirm? If not, can you list all your BuddyPress plugins?

You can use BuddyPress Member Types Generator plugin to create members types.

Or use BuddyPress Member Types plugin, they have a bit different functionality. The 2nd one seems to have more features.

Different “Types of feeds” is not easily achievable, only with custom coding.

Custom login and registration pages – lots of solutions for custom login. Custom registration page is limited to BuddyPress, there is no plugin, that can do anything with it. You will need to dive into templating and custom styles.

I’m getting a blank page for all groups, and some topics (I can’t see a pattern yet to which topics are blank). It’s so blank that there is nothing in “view source” at all (usually when it’s a theme problem I get something there, like basic body/html tags – just not enough to build a page).

I’m getting ready to test for theme issues. But I definitely determined that a rollback to the previous version fixes the problem.

EDIT: I should mention that it happens in TWO themes: BuddyBoss and Zerif Pro. So I suspect it’s a BP or plugin problem, not theme.

I realize, however, that this could be a different problem than you have reported, so I will just watch this thread, and start a separate one if my problem persists.

I would like them to be able to Register as well as Log in using their Facebook account

use plugin wordpress social login..works like a charm

I want users to register for blogging

you want your users to blog from the bp frontend? if yes you need to use the following paid plugin

BuddyPress User Blog

on buddyboss @djpaul they were excellent when they came up with the buddyboss theme…now they got multiple themes and plugins..and if you would check their support forums you would see the user feedback on their new themes now including the boss theme as well

I’m running into this same error when trying to delete the cover photo. Any luck with this?

I’m pretty sure this worked before — not sure if an update was done on a plugin that may have changed this. Or the BuddyBoss theme?

I have Boss from buddyboss and it is just great (I also have the wall + photos plugins).
Very much recommended.

My favourites are at buddyboss; they look great and are coded really well – http://www.buddyboss.com/themes/

buddyblog is a paid plugin…you need to ask buddyboss guys…raise a ticket with them

EDIT: For ours, we deactivated BuddyBoss Wall and the pages showing activity per user/profile now load.

There is also a free plugin at http://www.buddyboss.com/purchase/buddypress-auto-group-join/ if that helps.

You could use:

responsive mobile theme such as http://www.buddyboss.com
use AppPresser app framework https://apppresser.com
developer your own app using something like http://ionicframework.com

Regrets am not a coder.. Try wall plugin of buddyboss…else check this
