Hi NickZee,

glad it was helpful 😉

While I can’t say 100% whether you need to completely reinstall, I will suggest that if you previously had selected the BuddyPress option to allow forums (the first RED FLAG in the video ;-), it created a bb-config,php file that may be the root of some troubles. In the previous video I showed folks to delete that, but in this case, it may be sufficient now to simply toggle the option “off”, save, and then re-save permalinks.

If nothing else, it won’t hurt you to try deleting that old bb-config.php file as it is no longer going to be used by BuddyPress if you use the bbPress 2.2.2+ plugin instead.
In any event, I do not think you should or will have to manually drop any tables from the db… that’s just going to lead to some troubles given how seamless the new operation works (if you follow step by step by step).

I’m going to suggest in Trac (and here)  that the wording on that particular BuddyPress option be changed or even that the option be completely removed… as the way it is now written is not helpful. I admit that it even took me four or five tries before realizing that it was referring to the “old” BuddyPress forums, even though the wording says “bbPress”.

We’re using bbPress 2 here for the forums; the recent release of bbPress 2 integrates nicely into BuddyPress. Are you using the “group forums” built into BuddyPress (aka bbPress 1)?

@labsecrets at 3:50. Do I need to completely remove buddypress and reinstall without discussion forum OR can I just turn them off now and that be sufficient and equal to installing without? My original buddypress install was several weeks ago, and with that Discussion Forum was checked. If so, do I need to drop tables or options from the database to make buddypress forget it was ever installed on my site?

Thank you again Spence. Very concise video instruction. Just what I need.

Ohhh! An updated video. Thank you Spence ( @labsecrets)! I saw your original video and it helped a lot, but i was still left with confusion (nothing on your part).

Watching the new one now! Thank you again.

@modemlooper I used your code above to get the tab working named ‘Test’ and its working fine. Thanks for that. I used it in a child theme custom functions file i have there. Is there any way I can have a separate file that contains the content for that section( currently “weeee content” ).

Thanks in advance

Hi,

View here first: https://wordpress.org/search/mysql2date

and try by replacing from

echo sprintf( __( ‘%1$s said %2$s:’, ‘buddypress’ );

to

echo mysql2date('D, d M Y H:i:s O', bp_activity_get_last_updated(), true);

This is what is used to show the date on feeds, witch has the same output you want. Maybe would work ? 😀

ok thank you Paul,

the topic has already been created some times ago .

Here :

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/blog-feature-is-not-on-found-on-the-buddypress-pages

Should i create a new topic ?

Woops, I split the wrong topic. Apologies for confusion.

Please watch and follow this step by step video guide on the new bbPress and BuddyPress versions. I guarantee it will help sort out your questions.  If any remain, I’m happy to help you further 🙂

Cheers!

thank you for the answer, but in the settings menu of buddypress , in tab “components” there are no way to add something . May be you means in tab Pages ?

But in tab “Pages” the directorie Blogs is missing . I have only Activity Streams, Site Tracking, User Groups ,  Members. And i can not add manually another directories.

yes this is surely works, thank you for your valuable update , but i guess this can be improved by linking all activity filter in one , something like facebook ,

Great!

Create a Page with a name other than “blogs”, and then go to the Settings > BuddyPress menu in wp-admin, then click on the ‘components’ tab, and associate the Blogs component with the new page and save,.

hello

Exactly the same question …

After updating to the latest version of Buddypress, blog feature is missing in the settings of Buddypress pages directories!!!!

Is it normal ??

Thanks

Yep, it’s one of the most useless things in BuddyPress.

You can get rid of those links by adding the following to your bp-custom.php file:

function remove_xprofile_links() {

remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 9, 2 );

}

add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘remove_xprofile_links’ );

This suggests the error is with the buddypress-multilingual plugin; you need to follow up with its author.

No, functions.php should only be used for code that effects the theme layer. Use https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

The compression quality is actually controlled by WordPress but we occasionally receive feedback such as this, which makes me think that there’s some server dependency or configuration setting that varies from server-to-server. IIRC, it defaults to 90% image quality.

In the upcoming BuddyPress 1.6.2 release to coincide with WordPress 3.5 (i.e. very soon), we had to fix image cropping to work with WordPress 3.5, and I took the opportunity to set 100% image quality. Along with WordPress 3.5’s improvements to its media API, hopefully this problem will fix itself.

Are you asking someone to write a plugin for you? I doubt this will happen, unless you hire a developer to do it for you.
