BuddyPress.org

@czz Scratch that. I dug around the plugin’s Google Code project page and found the exact instructions I was looking for . But now I’ve got another question (of course), how did you make the image details appear beneath each thumbnail?

@czz, I’m currently using the BP-Album plugin (I believe it was formerly BP-Album+). The stable release though, not the more recent beta.

To make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress, you need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin and then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Also, please check out this info before installing BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server

@allentan Check out Mail From plugin per https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/

@benstacey Please give info per my post at WP forums

Hi czz – that site looks great! I’m actually in the process of building something similar, well, I’m building a broader site but I’m hoping to include photo sharing features/aspects. I noticed that you did something on your “Random Photos” page that I’ve been struggling with. Would you mind explaining how you got the images to show up in a grid-like fashion rather than as a list like the standard BuddyPress activity feed?

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

Thanks, @aces, for the workaround — I forget the ability to do that in Google.

However, I really think this problem needs to be addressed. It was first raised over 2 months ago, with the last reply by @JohnJamesJacoby a month ago. It’s so bleeping impractical to have to wade through all the posts. I’ve posted my issue, but what a waste to have to do that if it’s already been resolved elsewhere.

I truly appreciate BuddyPress, but really can’t make much use of it as long as this is an issue. It would also be good to have paid support available. (And yes, I did post all this on the feedback forum.)

What did you use to change the slugs?

The official (and supported) way to change any slugs that doesn’t have a page associated with it, is via bp-custom.php using

define ( 'BP_FRIENDS_SLUG', 'connections' );

Did you use that or something else to change it?

@shawn38 @crystal-phoenix just to add that for very long blocks of code, use pastebin.com and paste generated URI here

I checked your with IE simulator 6 to 9 online at http://netrenderer.com/index.php and I don’t see the vertical navigation. Know that bp-default theme has a responsive layout wherein the main navigation does go vertical when viewed at smaller widths which should be taken into consideration.

@crystal-phoenix I don’t see any problem with internet explorer 9 in ‘normal’ Browser / Document mode

But if I switch (using F12 Developer Tools) to ( Document Mode: ) Quirks then the menu ( Home Activity Groups Members ) is aligned vertically…. on the left etc. ( I haven’t seen your screenshot )

Maybe something is making those ie9 browsers switch to quirks mode – but it didn’t happen to me automatically….

Although I can’t see what on your page would have caused it…

@mercime Ok, thank you for letting me know, that is very helpful. Hey maybe you can help Crystal. I have seen the screen shot and the navigation is displaying vertically instead of horizontally. I am thinking its something in the `#navigation` CSS. I have checked it over with the above mentioned browsers but I do not have IE 9 so I can not replicate this behavior.

If BuddyPress is activated and if you have BP-compatible theme, then default landing page when you click on member’s link is activity. You can add code so that default landing page for member’s link is something else. See how to. Btw, what do you mean by “dashboard”? wp-admin?

1. Create a bp-custom.php file https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

2. Change the default tab opened when looking at a user’s profile (default is activity), insert the following :
`define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ ); `

@videogamerznet don’t know if you’re using stable or beta. In any case, just so we’re on the same page and to move this discussion forward, open up your theme’s updated header.php, copy code, and paste code in pastebin.com, click submit, then post the generated pastebin.com URI here. Do the same for your theme’s updated sidebar.php, footer.php, index.php and page.php

>> You also can’t post complete code. It won’t allow PHP tags.
@shawn38 you can post code here. Just surround your code with (`) backticks, the symbol between the parentheses

or is it https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-clear-the-previous-registration-form-data-1/ ?

@dude this keeps happening to people and i’m thinking its because sites have been hacked. Nobody has ever come up with a solution. I cant replicate it to find one. It’s probably a hacked site, if it’s not the browser saving info.

Might be a malicious plugin.

What you want is not currently possible with BuddyPress. You can only block an entire page not individual activity items.

The plugin works as advertised, it does not block group activities.

Hi,
Hope someone can help me out. My BuddyPress works perfectly . Everything works fine. Except the reply on my Activity stream. I am able to make new comment or new post on the Activity (mysitie.com/activity/) . But whenever i reply to a comment . it responds. to 404 page. (mysite.com/activity/reply) .

what i have done so far:
edited my bp-activity-template.php ; line 1797 ( ` return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_activity_comment_form_action’, home_url( bp_get_activity_root_slug() . ‘/reply/’ ) );
} `. )

my .htaccess file works fine.

I have upgraded and used version 1.2 – 1.5.4
all gave the same response whenever i reply a comment on my activity stream. ( 404 error Page Not found.)

Please help.
