If you are using the BP-Default theme you just go into your WordPress Admin panel, go to Themes, choose “Editor” and you should then be able to find what you are looking for in BuddyPress Default under;
Main Index Template
(groups/index.php)
This file should be where you can rename those few things, among others, though you really should create a child theme (https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/) to add any such changes or customizations with in order to future-proof yourself so that when a new version of BuddyPress is released it doesn’t overwrite your own custom changes to the code.
Don’t forget to save the changes to the file before you proceed, and be extra careful as to what you are making any such changes to when doing so!
If you mess it up you can always pull a fresh file from another copy of BP-Default and upload it to the correct place on your server and just start over from scratch.
Good luck!
Dear karmatosed
Thanks for the comment and expert intervention and you are only the point of view of an example of the sub-panel monitors are out to General Manager Control Panel even Ayabtho in Control Panel ..
Queries you say that the draft BuddyPress
May Aistmr at any time can stop!!
BuddyPress ships with fully customized bbPress 1.
Re BP 1.7: As Paul, a BP core dev, mentioned above it’s the customized bbPress 1 which will be phased out, the Group Forums will be kept but will be moved to the Sitewide forums (bbPress plugin). See bbPress Settings where at the bottom of the panel, there’s a section specifically for BuddyPress Group Forums https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/bp16-swforums-03.jpg?w=700
Well i was having an issue with the activity stream not showing up in my phone and someone told me to switch to wp super cache and the activity stream appear. they said the i clicked on box to cache login user which was wrong. in the process, my buddypress share it wasnt displaying either but it did work for a split second on my phone when i switch to the wp super cache and now its not working. My assumption is that im caching the images wrong and thats why its not displaying. Im not sure but could that be the reason? Could it be that i have my add expire header set up wrong?
this is what i got
ExpiresActive on
ExpiresByType text/css “access plus 60 days”
ExpiresByType text/javascript “access plus 60 days”
ExpiresByType image/ico “access plus 60 days”
ExpiresByType image/jpg “access plus 60 days”
ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access plus 60 days”
ExpiresByType image/gif “access plus 60 days”
ExpiresByType image/png “access plus 60 days”
ExpiresByType text/css “access plus 60 days”
ExpiresByType text/html “access plus 60 days”
Hello all,
I don’t like the fact that the activity feed shows all the comments, when there are a lot of people active on the site an insane amount of comments will be shown which really kills the fun of browsing through the activity feed.
So I decided to remove comment-ability (and viewabilty) and that when I user clicks on “Comment (0)” it will redirect them to the single activity entry where you can see all the comments and reply as you wish. But I have a difficult time getting the url of the single entry.
I know entry.php and permalinks.php but how do I get the url of the specific entry?
Is there something as get_entry_url() ?
The default buddypress theme has
`
`
where the header of the activivity is defined which shows
` Administrator replied 1 hour, 36 minutes ago `
when you click on the time you go to the single entry.
Which call is used for this?
Thanks in advance, I appreciate the help.
I’m having a similar issue. Everything worked fine until I upgraded WordPress and Buddypress day before yesterday to:
WordPress 3.4.2.
Buddypress 1.6.1
Now whenever someone posts text the whole page is displayed in the text box for a couple of seconds and then the page makes like it’s going to save, but hangs white. If you stop or refresh the page whilst it’s hanging this is displayed infront of the url http://wyciwyg://62/
I’m using the custom community theme, but have tried using the default them and it still does it. The only person that doesn’t have this problem is me when I’m logged in as admin. All other user levels have this problem though.
I did add bbpress forum after upgrading and have tried deactivating that, but that didn’t fix it. Posting in the forum works fine though.
Any ideas on how to fix this please?
Sorry, I dont know if this is the same type of question but im trying to reduce my http request. I have bp on my home page and everytime a new member register, my http request goes up. I have an F in minimize request and redirect. Where would i go to redirect these links at the bottom? would i be able to use activity action for this or no?

Do you know the buddypress version of march 2011. Have you the link of download?
I change buddypress in old version, but fatal error continued …
Thanks @djpaul. I had a feeling that was the case. Any plugin that will get me close that I can customize? Are there any hooks you would recommend looking into that might set me on the right path?

activate bp default theme to test if its the theme. If it’s the theme, you may need to update to latest version.

Just wanted to see if somebody could help me out with the code above – I put it in bp-custom.php and it throws this error:
`Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_has_forum_topic_posts() (previously declared in /home4/mysite/public_html/classroom/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:60) in /home4/mysite/public_html/classroom/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-template.php on line 1131`
Thanks much 
Hi
Im trying to set up a course site for our school
We need to be able to identify our students easily, so we are gonna pre create their accounts via admin, and turn off register completly.
But then comes the problem, as they log in they can change the default name field that comes with Buddypress through their profile to whatever they want = we have no idea who the user is anymore.
Is there any way to lockdown that field so only admins can edit it?
Or maybe lockdown the profile edit page would be even better?
I have 0 php knowledge, so i’m completly stuck here… Anyone have an idea how to do this?
English is not my native language, so please be nice 
Hello,
I am working on some custom functionality in buddypress forums. You can see via this image: http://i.imgur.com/pXw5N.jpg
Whenever the user clicks the ‘Reply’ button the @mention along with the user name should appear in the reply textbox.
Can anyone please direct me to the right direction in order to achieve this?
Thanks!
Thanks!
If what you are suggesting is that the BuddyPress admin panel should be redesigned like those examples I’d second that it probably wouldn’t be anytime soon. I’d also add that I really hope it wouldn’t be like those examples as they are really awful UI wise. Sorry but that reminds me of the horrible old school server admins.
Do you mean 1.6? As in BuddyPress 1.6 and BuddyPress 1.5.7? If so, then I’d check in 1.6 as things probably got fixed if a known bug. Alternatively if testing shows then same issue then please report via trac.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4155 seems to indicate it does work though.
Ok, thanks for the reply – I think I’ll crack on with that theme then
Cheers
Hi @Eyal Azulay
It seems you want some conditional fields, this plugin will help may be,
http://wpbpshop.com/buddypress-user-account-type-pro
see how it works
http://live.wpbpshop.com/register/
Google search add site:buddypress.org
@aces : Good call. It was a typo 
@modemlooper : Gah. That’s the problem when it seems that searching the support forums on buddypress.org consistently generates really poor results and so you’re forced to use Google. Gah. Thanks for the info man.
I am now editing a zillion line .po file. Woohoo! I guess we’re done unless someone has a suggestion for better buddypress forum searches!
Not for a few months. There will be betas first to work out the bugs
and bp-custom goes in /wp-content/plugins/ not /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/…
Jeepers, seriously? Changing the page name worked immediately and now I feel dumb. So what was that bp-custom.php thing all about?? What exactly is that supposed to change?
I suppose I can follow the tutorial at https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ for everything else. Sigh. Thanks!
To change slugs you change the page name and URL for that page in the WordPress admin. To change all instances of the word you create a language file
