BuddyPress.org

There is something that you can do, though it’ll mess up activity pagination (which, in the case of AJAX loading, means that the number of activity items loaded when you click “load more” will not always be the same number). It involves filtering bp_has_activities, looping through $activities_template->activities, and removing those items that are new blog posts from your blog.

Here’s an example of the technique, used to remove self-replies: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/couple-thoughts/?topic_page=2&num=15#post-112100

Use Paul his BP Labs plugin to make it more intuitive for the user.. it shows a nice popup as soon as someone types the @ character: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-labs/

Same problem here. Groups installed. Forum for groups installed and activated when i create a new group. But when I try to make a new theme is answering that the forum is not configured.

Hi,
I was trying ur solution to the unified search but everytime i do a search it only searches through the members. i did everything as instructed but it doesn’t work. Any ides??

Just remembered, bp uses archive.php for the posts view. Open up archive.php and edit line 37 and remove the entire span tag and its contents. Leave the rest if you want tags to show up…

In your style.css you could add the lines:

.comments{
display: none;
}

Its not the prettiest way, but it should work. The double lines still exist though so you might wanna change the css for .postmetadata to…

Heh heh.

BuddyPress is a complex piece of software. For some sites, groups will be the best choice for community engagement – traditional forums, along with all the benefits of group extension plugins (BuddyPress Docs, BP Group Documents, etc). For some sites, the interactive activity stream will be better suited to fostering community – sort of like Twitter or Facebook. It’s highly recommended that you set up and configure your BuddyPress installation first by determining the needs of your site, and then by enabling and disabling components as necessary.

Best buddypress site ever seen! Now I will give up. Thanks.

Get rid of the popup bubble over content. It’s not showing anything just keeps recycling. Put some sort of background color on latest-update in the profile page.

It turns up the good, and turns down the suck.

The goal of BuddyPress is to maximize your site’s excellence.

status is updates, topics/posts is forum posts (but bbpress1.0), time since active is part of the default template(and bp includes a template function), and followers plugin did not work on my instance but that includes a count template function.

if you want the exact output here – you could use the functions in the plugin (+ followers and bp core time_since) and output your own mixup of counts via the action hook bp_after_sidebar_me

Once BP 1.6 + BBP 2.1 hits – I’ll update this plugin with ordering and more counts

I’m also interested in turning off the registration process.

I saw this snippet (to be put into functions.php):

if ( bp_core_is_multisite() )
remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_core_wpsignup_redirect’ );
else
remove_action( ‘init’, ‘bp_core_wpsignup_redirect’ );

from this thread:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/sign-up-redirects-to-registration-which-goes-nowhere/

But its not working yet for me.

@etivite

hi, could this plugin get number of total activities for specific user?

if not, could you please take a look on this topic:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-do-you-show-a-members-total-post-count/?topic_page=2&num=15

thank you.

@oddzuki it might just be an issue with your custom theme. Change to bp-default theme.

By having tags and using BuddyPress groups, couldn’t that essentially eliminate the need for a forum?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed/ – use this to view and activate unactivated accounts.

I have not encountered that activation issue before. To troubleshoot, I would:
– Deactivate all plugins including BuddyPress and change to Twenty Eleven theme. Check registration on regular WordPress install. If activation doesn’t work, resolve this first in WP forums and with webhost. If registration/activation works proceed to next step.
– Activate BuddyPress plugin only and change to bp-default theme. Check registration/activation here. If it doesn;t work, file ticket at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket (log in with same username and password). It activation works, proceed to activate your theme and other plugins then test again.
