BuddyPress.org

starts with bp_group_join_button https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php#L1507

shows up via bp_directory_groups_actions in https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/groups-loop.php#L57

@mustangus default behavior is displaying the newest/latest posts on any topic first in either the
group forums e.g. http://testbp.org/forums
or the sitewide forums e.g. http://testbp.org/discussion/

Which of the two kinds are you referring to?

Site URL? Did you develop the customized BP theme or did you download it elsewhere? Some customized BP or BP-default child themes make it more complicated to change the layout while others are much easier to implement new layout.

@justbishop so you were featuring posts using Activity Items for blog posts on the index, how are you doing that? I mean the block activity stream types would have always been the fix I think to get rid of those dupes. I’ve done it plenty of times with the snippet I added earlier and including using the fix from wpmuguru, I’ve always been able to eliminate dupes. So really the only problem holding you back was your index post feature-feature, um yea that thing. Wouldn’t you say that was holding you back here?

@im3sna No worries, I get what you mean. What theme are you using? If you are using a WordPress theme, then you have to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin and go through the compatibility process.

@brygiles please start a new topic where you should also provide more information so we can assist you. Like: WP/BP version? WP theme used? Site URL? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/

@candy2012 Sorry for the inconvenience, this site is in transition. In the meantime, Google has indexed our forums pretty well. e.g. Google BuddyPress.org candy2012 and some keywords

== I have installed randy candy! ==
Sorry, the developer has not updated that theme for BP 1.5 compatibility
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-theme-compatibility/

Please.. i need help… don’t know how to get my way around here..
how do I change the front color or the background color of buddypress in wordpress theme? How can i extend membership sign up questions?

tHANK YOU

That specific call-time-pass-by-reference issue has been resolved in trunk. If you want to remove the warnings in your install, open up buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-classes.php and on line 751 replace
` `
with
` `

Will your mention of @wpmuguru send them a notification?

Yes it does

The meta key is sitewide_tags_blog and it contains an array. However if you want to disable SWT on a single blog / site I have a post here: http://wpmututorials.com/plugins/turn-off-sitewide-tags-on-special-blogs/

WP/BP versions? Change to bp-default theme to check if it’s an issue with your custom theme. If that’s not the case, then deactivate plugins except BuddyPress to check if it’s a plugin conflict.

Oops – make that update_site_option and get_site_option. Might be worth pinging @wpmuguru about this as well.

Yep, you can do this just fine, and won’t loose any data. I suggest you set up a test site and have a go before you do it on your live site

What version of BuddyPress are you using?

to reiterate what @VirtualityStudio said, ” people are so used to the way fb works, it would be nice to do that for them “

here here !!!

Don’t get me wrong, BP/WP is a great platform, and we don’t really need millions of fb clones, but the functionality of fb’s activity feeds must surely be an ‘industry standard’ that most sites strive for nowadays.

Buddypress in my opinion was created not only to provide us with the tools to create our own social networks, but also to strive to be more than just a ‘blog orientated’ social engine.

Unfortunately the structure for having the ‘site-wide’ feed pulling in profile feed posts may prove to be counter productive in the long run unless more emphasis is placed on the way these items are controlled. Otherwise everyones personal conversations are the but of all gossip for all and sundry to see, a bit like washing your laundry in public lol

Privacy control too in my humble opinion is ‘up there’ in the priorities list of BP enhancement, I admire the work that contributors have put into some of the plugins in the past but they cannot be relied on to keep up BP updates and really need to become a BP standard protocol no? anyway thats another subject

Hi mercime

Thanks for your helpful reply. I changed Forums base to sitewide-forums & now I have a new forum eg
http://richard-dickinson.com/sitewide-forums/forum/rhdwponlinetwist_forum-4-netnewbies/

I am still though finding it hard to understand & use BP on my site! Hopefully with time I will learn how to use it properly.

Shouldn’t this forum I have created eg rhdwponlinetwist_forum-4-netnewbies show on the top BP admin bar (my username) forums link? Clicking on that Forums link brings me to …../admin/forums page & there is no forum shown there on the forums tab? I am a little confused at the moment with BP on my site-how can I learn to use BP properly on my site?

This isn’t really a BuddyPress question, is it? FB customisation is all about the opengraph tags that you built. I can’t even look at what you’ve done because you haven’t linked to your site

@boonebgorges Hello, I am working with a user on our theme forum with this same issue. I have replicated it, my support user informs me that this started to happen when he update Java, as in Sun Java…not sure how this relates to javascript if it does but may be a way for you to replicate this issue. What I am finding is that the read more link does not populate itself so it just stays as […]

I am not sure what exchanges the […] with Read More but I think that is what is broken. I would be happy to help you to replicate this issue. Let me know what I can do to help you troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks!

thank for the tip @etivite . I have searched and googled till my head was spinning, there is NO solution for it yet!

The issue is asked again and again and again, and still no real solution. The only thing I have found which filters out the non-friend activity but also blocks your own! is this one:

http://wpmu.org/create-a-better-community-experience-with-the-new-buddypress-friends-only-activity-stream-plugin/

As for th bp_has_activities you can’t really use it as it only accepts ONE single parameter (for ex.
if ( bp_has_activities( ‘scope=friends’) [which means own posts, groups, etc will be out!] and as you said is completely messing up the “load” function by the occasion. So you definitely can NOT call that a solution.

You say it has been covered before, I’d rather say it has been asked again and again but when you search through all those posts you’ll see they all end either unanswered or after people desperately try to figure it out somehow, gets abandoned as no one found the way to solve it. ANd there was not even ONE single post from some of the developers who know best how buddypress is built.

We can try and try and break our heads, but if after 2 years none of us managed 2 find a solution, isn’t it time for a specialist to look into it?

We need just as on other social networks the possibility to have own posts (incl comments) combined with friends’ posts (also incl. commenst) on one single page/wall and only visible for friends.

All social networks do that these days, only buddypress not ….

Looks like you have not completed Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

In your case, you have to use the first method – i.e. changing 16 BP template files – to fix alignments and spacing – per your questions #1 and #2 above.

Download the 6 BP folders transferred to your Memo theme folder in server down to your computer hard drive. Starting from activity/index.php, open this file and make the following changes:

At the very top of the file, replace:
`

`

Save file and continue with replace the same with the remaining 15 files.

For registration.php, replace the bottom area
