@jaymeselman Open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all source, paste in pastebin.com, click submit, and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files.

@cleaus thanks for starting a new topic per instruction. Open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all source, paste in pastebin.com, click submit, and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files.

You should ask these as separate questions – the first two issues are general WordPress (not BuddyPress), so best asked on the wordpress.org forums.

Post issue 3 as sep question on here, and issue 4 you could ask to @pollyplummer on her group for the plugin

Two plugins which look current and could help you https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/activate-users-in-buddypress/ and https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-approve-user/
As usual, the following disclaimer applies: backup DB and files before activating plugin

@cleaus please start a new topic for your own theme and I’ll help you there.

Thank you both for your links-codes, I will study everything tonight , @rogercoathup the code you’ve provided where do I have to add this filter ? In which file ? in function.php ? I have also seen @shanebp code in another thread which seems to be different (I am not an PHP expert at all), the same question here where should I add it and which code is better , safer ?

@shanebp — from what you said in your OP, get_the_post_thumbnail() is working correctly (if you provide a hardcoded post_id) — so that function would appear not to be the problem.

What output are you getting from get_the_post_thumbnail? I’d be var_dumping $post just before the call, and also $activity_content just after to narrow it down.

@4ella — Shane has already given the code for doing that in his original post. If you don’t want any custom content, but simply want to add your custom post type to the standard types processed, you can simply add a filter to bp_blogs_record_post_post_types to include your cpt – something like:

`

add_filter( ‘bp_blogs_record_post_post_types’, ‘inspired_record_more_types’ );

function inspired_record_more_types( $types ) {
$types[] = ‘my-cpt-name’;

return $types;
}

@newpress Please don’t make these sorts of posts, this is spam and we do not need it re-focussed on. Both Paul and I have asked you previously to improve your behaviour on this forum, please observe these requests as it isn’t going to be asked again.

tbh thought I had locked this thread – will do so now.

Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your paradise theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

I’m trying to do the exact same thing right now. It has gone smoothly, bar version 1.5 featuring no CSS for the admin bar, then on upgrading to 1.6 the admin bar CSS was fixed, but all the menu items in the admin bar disappeared.

Any ideas on how to get the BuddyPress bar menu items back?

I chose to use the new admin bar menu instead of the older one, so perhaps I could go back to that to fix it? It seems like moving to the regular WordPress one would be best though.

“They said they were
hoping to show off “that
wow factor, “WordPress Opensource Wonder”

this is not spam. This is rather an encrypted message. Buddypress is still stuck in 1,********s. No major release recently. Its 2.0 phobia

“The audience liked
their number, which ended
with all of the guys dancing in trays of water”

“Sharon liked it. Howie liked it but said it was “one-dimensional.”

“Howard thought they “did well,” but also said it was “deja vu” – we had seen it all before or we were mesmerized”

@newbie2011 we have a list of “template-packed” WordPress themes @ https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

If you need assistance for your current theme, open up your theme’s header.php, copy all code, paste in pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php

Hi,
you changed the wrong file. Never modify a core file when what you need is on the public side ! This means a template of the theme you’re using.
i said “you can search a term in the pot file”, not you must modify the pot file. This file is necessary for translation purpose and has no activity on your site. With a pot file you can generate a po file, and by saving it, you create the compiled mo file. PHP use this mo file at least.

How it works ?
– searching a word: xxx.pot file
– translating/modifying a word: xxx.po file (no T in the extension)
– saving the po file within a po editor sofware like poEdit
– saving the po file will generate a compiled format called .mo file witch must be uploaded on your server via FTP

In your case, the word “groups” you want to modify is used in these files. You will find this piece of code in your po file.

`#: bp-activity/bp-activity-loader.php:189
#: bp-activity/bp-activity-loader.php:284 bp-core/admin/bp-core-update.php:354
#: bp-core/bp-core-template.php:260 bp-groups/bp-groups-activity.php:143

Thank modemlooper – I totally agree about unsupported plugins and warned the client, but he is crazy about having this group home page and all the extra info sections. Everything was working well until the last buddypress update. The problem seems to be that both the group frontpage and Activity are directing to mysite.com/group.
I am thinking that creating a custom activity page may more what we want. building on the trick above – if I create a custom page template, such as group-activity.php – not sure where to put this. We are using a child theme.
Then – remove the default Activity sub-nav item and add a new custom sub-nav link
Any reason that won’t work?
