BuddyPress.org

Thank you @hiboy for your constructive and detailled closing answer.

Sure that this tread will help many people here.

That kind of wordpress plugin it is very much wanted! Any ideas if theres is something out there?

add this to your theme’s functions.php file:
remove_filter('bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'convert_smilies', 2);
add_filter('bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'convert_smilies', 99);

@paintermommy did you ever get this to work with the wishlist plugin? Are your forums private and only for paid members?

Man I hope soon! I’ve been checking back every single day. I’m really looking forward to 1.7. I don’t care if it has bugs lol. I just wanna test it out! : )

I want each of the network blogs that are created to have all of the BuddyPress features, but not to be their own BuddyPress install

Then you would have to use BP-ready or BP-compatible themes whether it be parent themes or child themes in your network. https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/developer-docs/bp_enable_multiblog/

@javiermatosdes were you able to find a solution to this? Generating random gravatar for buddypress default profiles makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, I am unable to bring that change in the buddypress default theme. Could you please help me with some advice on this?

@OC2PS see http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2012/03/05/custom-post-types-yesno/

Interestingly, buddypress default theme does not accept avatar from social networks when used with WordPress Social Login plugin. I wish I could provide a random avatar for such cases where buddypress does not accept the avatar provided by social networks.

There ain’t any active plugins that can produce random avatars. I believe that the plugin that @Lawrence talks will go a long way if it is in public domain. Hence, I request him to offer us some download links to his work. Thanks.

@Lawrence: have you been able to complete this plugin? Can you please provide a download link as I am interested to use this plugin. Thanks.

@ninjaface – I have not encountered this issue before. The way I would troubleshoot is:

Deactivate All Plugins
Switch to Default theme
Does this fix the problem? If so, then the problem is either your custom theme or a plugin issue. If the problem persists taking the above steps, then try re-installing WordPress and BuddyPress.

You could use the die function that @aces provided but hook it to the BuddyPress actions (for site side feeds that’s ‘bp_activity_sitewide_feed’)

Eg.
add_action('bp_activity_sitewide_feed', 'fb_disable_feed', 1);

I would go with BuddyPress Media plugin, as opposed to “BuddyPress Media” forked product. Not a big fan of forks, and the plugin is being actively developed and supported.

@aces I have used http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/33072/how-to-remove-feeds-from-wordpress-totally but this works only for the WP pages and not for the BP pages.
then i used
function bp_remove_feeds() {
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_personal_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_friends_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_my_groups_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_mentions_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_actions’, ‘bp_activity_action_favorites_feed’, 3 );
remove_action( ‘groups_action_group_feed’, ‘groups_action_group_feed’, 3 );
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘bp_remove_feeds’);

But still I can see the feeds for the activity page 🙁

Any help will be highy appreciated?

Anyways @aces thanks for responding 🙂

Using “BuddyPress Media” plugin, you can upload media files from iOS 6 now

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-media/

If you’re using bbPress 2.2.2 and BuddyPress, the preferred method going forward is to disable the “Discussion Forums” component in BuddyPress and use bbPress to handle group forums.

Try reading this guide:
https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/

And let us know if you have any questions or if the guide isn’t clear.

Hi Peter, Commons In A Box installs BuddyPress for you if you don’t have it installed.
