Thanks for confirming I wasn’t doing anything silly. 
Ticket posted: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4367
(I set it as a bug rather than enhancement, because I genuinely believe this would be a big problem anytime anyone decides the change their permalink structure.)
Thanks @mercime I noticed that the activity stream shows up once you change your name/user name but not retroactively. That is the activity of the user before that change does not show up.
May I ask if this weird requirement (that the user name and name be different) is a standard buddypress thing or if buddypress.org customized it somehow?
Paul, if I may offer a suggestion:
Combine buddypress.org and testbp.org
and hopefully that will also resolve the slow loading times that plague buddypress.org (for some strange reason, testbp.org is much snappier)
@shashankism the best person to help you is that plugin’s developer. You could ask the plugin developer to make it compatible with BuddyPress or post at dev’s forums http://betterwp.net/community/
@mahdiar check in Appearance > BP Compatibility and make sure that BP.css and JS are enabled which means that you should not check to disable either CSS or JS
First… Thank you.
The error changed
Please see it in this post:
http://www.sinaloagay.mx/llama-pena-nieto-a-la-unidad-y-reitera-respeto-a-la-diversidad/
Error:
/home/content/99/9335499/html/SINALOAG-MX/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-filters.php on line 277
And Budypress content look like a:

Usually when you can’t favorite something it’s either:
– A template issue (not using correct code to favourite)
– JQuery scripting error – I do see you have a few js errors so it may be those
– Perm link issue (You can reset these by going to settings and saving them).
I didn’t even know http://i18n.trac.BuddyPress.org/ existed. Will talk to JJJ and see if we need it. I believed all the translation to be on GlotPress now.
bp_member_avatar()
bp_get_member_avatar()
They are defined in bp-members-template.php , and take a number of optional arguments including user ID.
@djpaul I’m using a custom theme and the contents of my registration/register.php file are these:
http://pastebin.com/Rm9uE9Us
I’m using pastebin because it wouldn’t allow me to paste the code, it kept giving me an error saying “Looks like you’ve already said that”. Any ideas?

@rogercoathup I do not use any plugin for user levels and permissions. I only gave examples of levels. I’d like an If with an elseif and else to levels. If you are an administrator, a text appears: “Administrator” or is Editor, a text appears: “Editor” and if is a subscriber, you may see “Member” or simply any message.
There are people that use the Suffusion theme with BuddyPress, so I know it should work, and everything is working and looks great — except for the register page. Which is arguably the most important part.
I don’t think any of the plugins are conflicting with it, because it does work if I just switch the theme without changing anything else.
I can’t find a ticket, but I’m pretty sure it’s come up before somewhere — probably buried in the depths of trac…
Roger’s solution would be to modify Post and Page activity items to link to the ?p=… link format; those do a canonical redirect to the “real” URL, so such a change wouldn’t affect search engines.
However, we’ve finished work on BP 1.6. We’re going to put out a release candidate very very soon, so this issue would have to be considered for a future version of BuddyPress.
@dvd3141 If you can make an enhancement ticket on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ so this isn’t forgotten about please.
Yes, the activity stream items are created at the time a post is created, so the bug is explicable. Surprised it’s not been encountered before ( @djpaul – have you noticed this previously? ).
I suspect the best solution is to store the links in the activity stream in a ‘permalink neutral’ way, and then apply a filter that ‘adds’ the current permalink structure to them when they are displayed / accessed.
alright, thanks @PaulGibbs
Editors can edit pages because this is a standard capability check built in to WP.
Again, BuddyPress doesn’t use Roles. At all.
Hi Roger,
“including site wide forums” – does that mean that posts under bbPress are automatically added to the activity stream, even when bbPress was installed BEFORE BuddyPress? If I look at http://www.mysite.com/activity which is the page I’ve set up with BuddyPress pages, it’s only showing BuddyPress-side activities.
And no, I don’t think it’s a problem with the buddydev’s widget plugin, as it seems to be able to publish BuddyPress activities just fine.
Hey Paul,
I will do that, however I have found a couple of threads discussing the same issue so I guess I’ll add mine to those.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-manual-activity-stream-integration/
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-set-up-bbpress-and-buddypress/
I’ve tried the suggestions there to no avail.
@edinchez We’ve fixed this for BP 1.6 which should be out in a couple of weeks.
If you cannot wait, open up register.php in your theme and adjust this line:
`if ( bp_has_profile( ‘profile_group_id=1’ ) ) :`
to look like:
`if ( bp_has_profile( ‘user_id=-1&profile_group_id=1’ ) ) :`
Please please be sure to revert this change after you upgrade to 1.6; it’s the sort of seemingly-harmless change that could cause some subtly weird behaviour at some point in the future which would take ages to track down
Not possible. BuddyPress doesnt’ use WordPress user roles or capabilities, so I don’t think we can do this granularly at the moment.
Ok, thanks @PaulGibbs.
(1) why can member’s with the role of “Editor” edit pages (a link appears for them on the bottom of the page) while members with the role of Subscriber, for example, cannot?
(2) why does the upper “static” menu bar across the page give different options based on role?
(3) are there different BuddyPress role settings that I should know about or be aware of?
The underlying purpose here is to determine what role to give our various members. Thanks for helping and guiding.
The bbPress plugin does create entries in the activity stream by default… including for site wide forums.
Sitewide activity widget is not part of BuddyPress — it’s a 3rd party plugin from buddydev
Do you see your bbPress activities in the normal BuddyPress activity stream? If not, there is something wrong in the way you have your site configured.
If you problem is just in the sitewide activity stream widget, then try asking on their forums at Buddydev.
Remember to include version numbers for your WP / BP and bbPress
Can anyone help me out with this ????
Hi,
The error log I posted encompasses the errors that have been generated while I was micking around with reinstalling buddypress and bbpress.
I have both bbPress and Buddypress installed currently, and I also have the Activity Streams component enabled.
However, a ticket from way back three years ago explains what I think the problem is. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/241
If I go to my profile, and post an update on my profile, this gets saved in bp_activity. But anything new topic creation or reply on my bbPress forum, it DOES NOT get saved in that table. So it looks to me that stuff created in the BuddyPress side gets saved in bp_activity, but stuff from the bbPress side do not.
Is there any way so that user activities from bbPress gets saved to this BuddyPress table?
=========
== EDIT ==
=========
I have tried deactivating all plugins apart from bbPress and BuddyPress. Also, switched to the theme that came with BuddyPress. SiteWide Activity Stream is still limited to just BuddyPress activities.
Note that I have User Groups and Discussion Forums (within Groups) DISABLED, which is how I do want it, as we want the community as simple and straighforward as possible while still enjoying the awesome features like messaging from BuddyPress
I also imagine that if I were to create Groups in BuddyPress, and then post messages in Forums of that Group, it will get posted to the Activity Stream. But I really do not want Groups.
I understand that this may very well be how the plugin was designed to work, but this is a plea for a little help now
