I already have the shortcode created, but when I put the shortcode in activity feed he doesn’t work.

I want to do this: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/enable-shortcodes-in-activity-screen-of-buddypress/ but in the new version of buddypress.

I don’t have another option to enable the shortcodes in activity posts ?

I found this:

Enable Shortcodes in Activity Screen of Buddypress

but doesn’t work

I think I found the issue. I believe my theme is causing the problem. I’m using Astra 3.6.5. When I entered troubleshooting and used Twenty Twenty with bbPress and BuddyPress, the group forum topics are opening as expected. I also discovered that the WP Admin Dashboard>Appearance>Customize is broken, too. There is some compatibility issue with the latest BuddyPress with the Astra theme.

I’ve opened a ticket with Astra, but wanted to put my discovery here in case anyone else has a similar issue.

Thanks!

Hi Shane,

Thanks for the quick reply and it actually worked! Thank you 🙂

The sidebar shows for a specific user type now but it shows up in the wrong location. I tried the code in different places but it’s in the middle of the profile now and want it to be on the left side like the normal sidebar for user profile.

The first part of the code is the simplified version you mentioned and the css styling. The rest is the remaining of the loop on that page. I suppose the code should go somewhere in there:

</div><!-- #item-body -->
            <?php
            $member_type = bp_get_member_type( bp_displayed_user_id() );
       if ( $member_type == 'club' ) {?>
           <div id="secondary" class="widget-area sm-grid-1-1 no-padding-top" role="complementary">
               <div class="bb-sticky-sidebar">
                   <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'club_sidebar'); ?>
               </div>
           </div>
       <?php
        }
       
       ?>
   <?php
                
            if ( ( !isset($bp_nouveau_appearance['user_nav_display']) || !$bp_nouveau_appearance['user_nav_display'] ) && is_active_sidebar('user_activity') && bp_is_user_activity() ) {

				ob_start();
				dynamic_sidebar('user_activity' );
				$sidebar = ob_get_clean();  // get the contents of the buffer and turn it off.
				if ( trim( $sidebar ) ) { ?>
					<div id="user-activity" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
						<div class="bb-sticky-sidebar">
							<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'user_activity' ); ?>
						</div>
					</div><?php
				}
			}
          
			if ( ( !isset($bp_nouveau_appearance['user_nav_display']) || !$bp_nouveau_appearance['user_nav_display'] ) && is_active_sidebar( 'profile' ) && !bp_is_user_settings() && !bp_is_user_messages() && !bp_is_user_notifications() && !bp_is_user_profile_edit() && !bp_is_user_change_avatar() && !bp_is_user_change_cover_image() && !bp_is_user_front() && $profile_cover_width == 'full' ) {

			    ob_start();
	            dynamic_sidebar('profile' );
	            $sidebar = ob_get_clean();  // get the contents of the buffer and turn it off.
				if ( trim( $sidebar ) ) { ?>
					<div id="secondary" class="widget-area sm-grid-1-1 no-padding-top" role="complementary">
						<div class="bb-sticky-sidebar">
							<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'profile'); ?>
						</div>
					</div>
					<?php
				}
			}
			?>
		</div>

	</div><!-- // .bp-wrap -->
    	<?php if ( isset($bp_nouveau_appearance['user_nav_display']) && $bp_nouveau_appearance['user_nav_display'] &&  is_active_sidebar( 'profile' ) && !bp_is_user_settings() && !bp_is_user_messages() && !bp_is_user_notifications() && !bp_is_user_profile_edit() && !bp_is_user_change_avatar() && !bp_is_user_change_cover_image() && !bp_is_user_front() && $profile_cover_width != 'default' ) { ?>
			</div>

			<?php
			ob_start();
			dynamic_sidebar('profile' );
			$sidebar = ob_get_clean();  // get the contents of the buffer and turn it off.
			if ( trim( $sidebar ) ) {
				?>
				<div id="secondary" class="widget-area sm-grid-1-1 no-padding-top" role="complementary">
					<div class="bb-sticky-sidebar">
						<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'profile'); ?>
					</div>
				</div>
				<?php
			}
			?>

This is a screenshot of where the sidebar is appearing:

Certificates is in the middle. How can it be in the place of cart?

-How can I move the sidebar (Certificates) to where the left sidebar (Cart) is?

-And how can I repeat this process for 3 different user types? 3 custom sidebars for 3 user types.

-I was not sure what “ob_start()” and “bp_nouveau_appearance” were that appear in the beginning of the other sidebar code. How can I add them to the custom sidebar? Are they even necessary?

Appreciate the support and the community around BuddyPress
