BuddyPress.org

I cant replicate the BP mobile issue. I upgraded a 1.5 site just know to 1.6.1 and did not got any errors. I suggest in the future you deactivate all plugins before upgrading BuddyPress.

You can add my plugin which allows you to remove, rearrange and rename tabs.

Hi Justinfh, as already mentioned in another of your posts I do think this is to do with your settings not being saved correctly for BuddyPress. If you can follow my advice in that post it may solve both.

@naijaping I checked out your site and it works great. I would like to implement this as well. Would you please elaborate how this is done, and specifically which files need to be edited. Thanks!

Hi Justinfh, have you gone under the BuddyPress settings and made sure things are saved for pages and the same for your permlinks?

I have the same issue, @hkcharlie and am looking for suggestions on solutions or preventatives, as well. We find that even after we delete a spammy user or block them, it doesn’t deter them from creating a new profile the next day. Once every few months, a bot of some sort will even send spam mail to all of our users, even though we don’t have a “send to all” function in our Buddypress messages.

It looks like some styles are missing. How are you styling the BP content? Are you pulling in bp-default’s stylesheet? Check to make sure that your version isn’t somehow mangled; it should be 2423 lines long https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css

What version of BuddyPress did you upgrade from?
Are you using the latest available version of the Custom Community theme?

I’m looking over the code, and there’s not a very easy way to make it happen. We have hooks in bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar(), but we’re not passing along enough information to make it possible for filters to make the avatars linkable.

Could I ask you to open an enhancement ticket at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ explaining what you’re trying to do? I can make sure that the filters are improved to make what you’re trying to do possible.

In the meantime, it’s possible to do what you want, though not elegant. Here’s a hint:

`
function bbg_turn_secondary_avatars_to_links( $avatar ) {
global $activities_template;

// Here you’ll copy the logic in bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar() to switch between types
switch ( $activities_template->activity->item_id ) {
// Here’s an example of what to do with groups
case ‘groups’ :
$group_id = $activities_template->activity->item_id;
$group = groups_get_group( $group_id );
$url = bp_get_group_permalink( $group );
break;

// You’ll have to do similar sorts of tricks for different content types
}

// Then, wrap the avatar in a URL
if ( !empty( $url ) ) {
$avatar = ‘‘ . $avatar . ‘‘;
}

return $avatar;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar’, ‘bbg_turn_secondary_avatars_to_links’ );
`

This may not work as is (it’s off the top of my head) but it should give you a push in the right direction. Good luck!

Who can tell me how to troubleshoot where and how to hook the email checker to see on bp register page because I test the invalid email on buddypress register page it goes through the the step even though I have the si captcha recabtcha and wangguad on that page. any body can help or idea suggestion. Another problem is the bp register page title, description, and key word belong to the post title description and keyword. another problem is i cant post the new topic on my wpmu and bp site any idea here.
I look forward to hearing from you.

@mairaj know that if user disables styles in browser, they will see the search form. But should you still want to proceed with your method, these two lines should do it via CSS

`/* Hide search form in ALL pages */
#search-form { display: none; }

/* Then show search form on this page only (change page ID to your installation’s page ID) */
body.page-id-25 #search-form { display: block; }`
You might have to add some width or float after display block depending on how you’ve styled the child theme.

@formbi, it worked for me like a charm, which theme are you using? you need to write it at the bottom of your style.css . please make sure the page ID is right and dont forget to clear cache after the code.

the code is like ds .page-item-78{ display: none ! important;}

WPMU.org recently had a nice writeup on something similar: http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/

@sarah_lena I don’t recognize the filename pattern …full-16×16… BuddyPress creates two different avatar files: bpfull and bpthumb, and does not create dimension-specific versions.

It’s possible that the Salutation theme is doing some of this on your behalf. Try switching to bp-default, then *uploading a new avatar* for your test user, and see if the same thing happens. If not, then it’s Salutation doing its own magic.

You may also have a plugin that is doing some avatar voodoo, though I’m not aware of a plugin that does this.

Here’s some more information on how to create child themes for BuddyPress, as @mercime suggests: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

@mercime Many thanks for your swift response. I’ll give that a go.
