Re child theme:
1. if you’re going to build your style on top of bp-default styles, then you should add @import rule to get bp-default stylesheet in your child theme’s style.css and BP will respect that and won’t enqueue parent theme’s stylesheet in wp_head because you already imported it.

2. On the other hand, if you prefer to build child theme from scratch then you should add the 2nd code in this post in your child theme’s functions.php file – create one if you don’t have one yet and don’t forget the opening “ to wrap around the code.

There’s not really a pretty way to do this. If you look in bp-blogs.php you can change the string it passes to the activity. Changing the string doesn’t affect existing activity, but it can alter new ones as they’re entered into the system.

I’m using an older version of Buddypress though, so I can’t guarantee things will be the same for you. The string you mentioned (‘%s wrote a new blog post: %s’) shows up on line 411 for me.

Hope this helps.

@tntag r-a-y has just updated this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ If you’re importing CSS from bp-default theme, then you just need to adjust styles in your child theme’s stylesheet. If you’ve created your own stylesheet which is not dependent on bp-default theme’s stylesheet, then see 2nd code here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/1-5-child-theme-not-working/#post-108430

Check dashboard > BuddyPress > Forums – is it noted in the Group forums section on left whether you have that installed?

What @zacechola said. Make sure that you put the code *above* the “That’s all” line.

Please double-check what your PHP version is. WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.5 require at least PHP 5.4 while your version is 5.1.56. Or did you mean 5.15.6 – big difference.

I am actually a fairly good code hacker – not a programmer, but I can go in and fix most things – and I’m a QA Engineer and I have to say that the buddypress codex that I’ve looked at so far is just about incomprehensible to me. To the point where I don’t even bother to look at it. It doesn’t tell me exactly what I need to know. It gives generic examples. I really need to sit down with a developer – unfortunately I can’t afford that luxury and am stuck figuring this out on my own. BuddyPress, and WordPress for that matter is not my be all end all, it’s a platform that should be usable out of the box – and neither one of them are.

Ending rant. Sorry – I’ve just wasted so much time on figuring this out – and I’ve gotten just about nowhere.

Where is ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring_activity_filter’?
My buddypress default theme doesn’t have such function
