@djduckworth I haven’t used the plugin before. Looking at plugin files, looks like you simply just need to open up bp-posts-on-profile/includes/templates/postsonprofile/screen-one.php file with a text editor and change the_content to the_excerpt

You can used my child theme its only for the BP-Default theme it adds this functionality.

@mairaj
– Create a bp-default child theme -> https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
– Copy header.php from bp-default theme to your child theme folder then remove the search div from the header.php in you child theme folder
– Create a Page Template -> https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates and add the code your deleted from header.php replacing the_content tag and upload to your child theme folder in server
– Pages > Add New and title it whatever you want then choose the template in sidebar then make it private, Admin can access that page anytime.

@anaxent There are no bootstrap themes based on the bp-default theme AFAIK. There are however a large number of “bootstrapped” WordPress themes — http://wpmu.org/7-free-twitter-bootstrap-themes-for-wordpress/ and https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/the-bootstrap — which could be made compatible with BuddyPress by using the BP Template Pack plugin and going through the compatibility process and fixing alignment.
Resolved – here are the steps to resolve it:
1. Uninstall bbpress plugin,
2. Go to Buddypress->Settings->Pages and set the Group forums page to Forums (with “forums” slug)
3. Go to Buddypress->Settings->Forums and press the button “Install Site wide forums”. This would install bbpress plugin.
4. Once Installed and activated, you will be redirected to installed plugins page so again go back to Buddypress->Settings->Pages and set Group Forums page to a new page “Group-Forums”.
That should do it. at least this worked for me…
all three questions (a) – (c) simply related to the same issue @mercime.
I got a warning so do I really need to update the forums anyway? So what if I don’t? My question about being concerned was not to get feedback from my Sys Admin (which I am the S.A. for the site and server). WP warned me — so do I need to be concerned? The warning was cryptic with respect to WordPress/BuddyPress, not the server.
An my manual update question was this — if the automated WP routine can’t update the forums, is there a manual workaround.
@frank13 my answer (a) was to your question (a) and so forth. So you should contact your webhost about how to resolve the SSL certificate error
(b) I will presume you’re posting about updating the bbPress plugin if there was a nag to update it since Group Forums get automatically updated with the BuddyPress upgrade to 1.6
(c) You asked about a manual way of updating the forums (bbPress plugin) and so yes, do it via FTP.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I’m running WordPress 3.4.1 and BuddyPress 1.6.
Digging around in the Codex a little bit showed me that it is possible for my desired structure to be achieved (community.mysite.com/usersite); however, seemed to indicate that my WordPress instalation must be in http://community.mysite.com and not http://mysite.com.
Is there a way to do this with the WordPress install in the main site?
Thank you for a masterfully comprehensive plugin,
Ben
Hi @all, we testet the issues and could not reproduce them. The theme works just fine with a child theme as well. We can’t guarantee it works with modified child themes, as we don’t know what are the changes.
Do you use a child theme? If so, please check if the issue still exists if you switch to the parent theme.
Also, please make sure you have all other plugins disabled (except BuddyPress), to make sure this error does not arise from a plugin conflict.
per @r-a-y: “Is there any reason why you need multisite?”
It is my understanding that as of WordPress 3.0 MU was automatically built into core. I am not using multisite, per se, that I know if. At least I did not intent to use it. I do know that I have 2 dashboards in my WordPress under My Sites:
(1) Network Admin
(2) my Buddy Press site
It does get a little hairy lopping through both dashboards to make settings tweaks and activate and deactivate plug-ins, etc.
I will certainly give ‘wpmu_signup_user_notification‘ a try…
Hi, @sakarya I’ve managed to get that kind of functionality in my site by using groups with added custom extra fields. That way I can sub-categorize them and list them in any special ways I want. Maybe that could help you… let me know if you want me to tell you more, regards
So @mercime, if I already have bbPress installed and running, I should download it and install it again? It’s bbPress that drives this warning message?
When you upgrade to the latest version of BuddyPress (1.6), you will be presented with a new little wizard to help get you on the right track.
Are you doing that ?
look here

@mercime The images that are not resizing properly are the user’s avatars. The various sizes of the uploaded avatars are in the folders, but the correct file is not being brought up by the function.
I’ve also noticed that in my pre-upgrade installation (before I switched to Buddypress 1.6 and the latest Salutation theme version) that the user avatars were all working properly in the front end, but in the backend adminbar the avatar being called was wrong as well. I had already switched to the wp adminbar using `define(‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’, true);` .
@philippmuenchen Sorry to hear that you’re having the problem, but actually relieved to know that I’m not the only one… hopefully we can get this figured out!
I recommend against downgrading unless you have a database backup from the old version of BuddyPress. In 1.6, we changed how the BP DB version number is stored in the database, and adjusted the schema of the Activity table.
I suspect running a 1.6-versioned database against a 1.5-site will cause BuddyPress to think it’s not installed, and force you to run through the install wizard again (as it’s already installed, of course, I’m not sure what would happen). It’s then possible you would have problems updating to a 1.6+ version of BP in the future because we’ve changed where/how the BP DB version number is stored in the database.
We’ve got a 1.6.1 coming out very soon, which fixes compatibility with plugins and themes that were doing things wrong before, in ways that we didn’t anticipate when we touched parts of the code in 1.6. The most common themes with problems — Salutation and Custom Community — have already or will soon release updated versions of those themes to work with 1.6, too.
@davidkooo, you can easily achieve that with css by replacing “notification text” witth image icon like facebook and only the number of notification will show on the image.
somthing like: {background:url(_inc/images/alerts-icon.png)center no-repeat transparent !important;text-indent: -9999px;width:147px;height:25px;}
Note: you have to adjust accordingly.
Hi, @shawn38 Glad to see someone found this useful 
I have actually optimized the code to work flawless and best performing. I could make a plugin with it just have to learn how to replace some code that is already given with BuddyPress, I will investigate that today and hopefully upload the plugin really soon. Will let you know with another message here. Thanks a lot for your encouraging words!
@naijaping yeah it works, but how to get rid of “Notifications” text… I would like to display only number. Thanks.
Hmm, the one I’ve set up seems to use buddypress.

The homepage links a username to /buddypress/members/admin/
@zkwc are you using the bp-default theme or a child theme of bp-default theme?
I happened to encounter the error “Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in…..wp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-corebp-core-template.php on line 787” Any news on the update?
@davidkooo, the code i gave you above work like a charm, i dont use admin bar i code a custom one in my header.
You can see it in action here : http://goo.gl/4OqMP
Am still working on the site.
userame : demo

@indieconnect curious why it’s borking in Chrome in your installation. What theme are you using? What plugins are activated?
BBP_Theme_Compat is provided by bbPress.
@Roger Coathup: how to edit this to work without admin bar? I know I need to replace $wp_admin_bar, but with what? I want to append it to my header, which is `
`
`/**
