Thank you, both!
@Chouf1: Thanks, but I don’t think that is what I am looking for. Here is an example of what I have already done across most of the site:
`<a href="profile/”>
<a href="profile/”>`
I want to do this to the avatars and displayed user names for every status update and comment post.
@Boone: As I alluded to, I haven’t had much sleep lately. So I’ll see if I can wrap my head around this with out asking any more questions. But I may be back!
I do have one more for now though: I also realized that to fully implement this feature I will need to affect: acomment-meta and acomment avatar as well.
Edit: I just re read what you wrote. It looks like you, Boone, are already referring to this part. If I understand you correctly, then I also need to affect the activity header for status updates.
Thanks again!
@hnla – re: your suggestion – displaying favourite only to logged in user if also displayed user – I agree this would be a good fix, as I don’t really want favourites to be visible to all.
If you can help with the code to achieve this I’d be grateful as the site is about to go live.
@Boone Gorges That is what i done first ! But helas, it doesn’t work: i had a blank page.
And that is why i asked here…. but if you can give me the command syntax for that function_exists for bp_dtheme_blog_comments (i didn’t find it in WP or BP), i would appreciate ! 
Don’t hardcode the BP files, use child theme to make changes
The POT file is the catalogue. You have nothing to change in it.
The PO file is the work file
The MO file contains the PO compilated datas who will be read by WP
If you want to modify BP messages or different text, you have to edit a PO (without T) file. Use poEdit (or equivalent)
When you save the file, poEdit creates automaticaly a compilated mo file Your modification will be in this file, and this file had to be in the right folder on your site !
Also, if you use BP 1.2.8, your buddypress-xx_XX.mo should be in wp-content/languages folder, no more in buddypress/bp-languages
Wow, thanks for the heads up guys. Won’t be going down that route.
@pisanojm will check out provps.com now.
Would love to hear from other’s who already host in the UK on a decent, reliable cloud.
Nup. Joomla has so many SEO holes in it, it’s not funny. Even with so called SEO plugins, it is still a horible nightmare.
Bad code, horrible backend…. the user experience is just not a good one.
Anyone comes to me with a Joomla site, I simply turn them away… or sugest they rebuild.
I have tried changing the text in the .pot file as you suggested but I still get this original message:
Sign Up Complete!
You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address.
QUESTION: Any suggestion on where I can change this message? I also tried to change it in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php, line 225 BUT also that did not work to change the message.
@Boone Gorges : great, thank you !
This should be documented somewhere in the BP doc
i only found this:
bp_dtheme_blog_comments( $comment, $args, $depth ) X-Ref
Template for comments and pingbacks.
To override this walker in a child theme without modifying the comments template
simply create your own bp_dtheme_blog_comments(), and that function will be used instead.
Used as a callback by wp_list_comments() for displaying the comments.
param: mixed $comment Comment record from database
param: array $args Arguments from wp_list_comments() call
param: int $depth Comment nesting level
This tells we can do something not how we can do that. You give the right answer 
@hnla
This is something that has been bothering me… Why does this:
“
Cause the drop down search filters not to work? Is it wrong?
I am experiencing the same problem on BP 1.2.8 and WP 3.1.
Opened a ticket for it: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/3125
Awesome, so glad it worked!
You saved my life!! I have to launch today and this problem I had it 3 days!!!
Thank You man!!
Thx man!! will try and then I come back to you…

== I am looking for a plugin/snippet that will allow the attachment/upload of images to activity feed updates. … I’d be interested in hiring a plugin developer for this task. ==
There’s a plugin by @sbrajesh, BP Gallery ($30 membership), that allows you to do this for images, audio and video for single users and/or groups with multiple uploading as well.
You mean iThemes Builder can’t load the BuddyPress template files transferred during the BP Template pack process? While iThemes hasn’t created a bridge to adapt BP to their themes, strange that they have not promoted using BP template pack instead.
As for additional styling, there’s a panel during the integration process where you have option to include the CSS provided in BP Template Pack to start you off. Then you just add/adjust styling to taste.
Hi Donald,
It sounds like the plugin hasn’t been updated for WP 3.1, which introduced the new Network Admin (where the BuddyPress dropdown is now found).
Follow the instructions in this post https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-group-email-subscription/forum/topic/change-admin_menu-to-network_admin_menu-for-wp-3-1-and-bp-1-2-8/ except do it on the file buddypress-auto-group-join/php/bp-auto-group-join-init.php. That should do the trick.
Which comments are you talking about ?
Blog comments ?
See here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comment_time
To do this, If you use BP 1.2.8, go to bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php or better to the functions.php of your child theme
In file there is a function bp_dtheme_blog_comments
Near line 78 change
`
to this
`
how to embed this function into your theme’s function ? read here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-do-you-do-this/
Thank you guys so much for getting back to me. I really want to straighten out this page, our visitors are commenting all over the place or not at all.
@Chouf1 Yes, that is line is what I am changing, but the output doesn’t change.
@Virtuali Yes, that is the location that I have been working on, there was no comments.php in my child theme folder so I was editing the one in bp-default, when editing that didn’t change the output, I added a comments.php file to my child theme, still no change to the output. I tested the backend theme editor, when I added the comments.php to the child theme that is the one that it started editing, where before it had been edting the comments.php in the bp-default folder.
Maybe there is some kind of cache system I can’t find, I know in Joomla when I get this frustrated, I remember the built in cache, I have cntl-f5ed it a couple times.?????
And you know that even network activated, all users have their BP profile on the main site?
BuddyPress is network-wide, not blog specific.
“One way you can prevent BP in main site or secondary site from importing data from all sites is by marking e.g. My Blog in Settings > Permalnks – “I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors” or even choose additional options with https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/more-privacy-options/”
Which blocks search engines as well. Better off to mark the blog as mature instead.
