@b1gft there are a couple of simple ways to go about deleting “freshness” from group forums
1. Simplest of the rest -> Just add the following at the bottom of your theme’s style.css file
`span.time-since { display: none !important; }`
or 2. Copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.6/bp-themes/bp-default/forums/forums-loop.php to your themes /forums folder, open it up and delete line #85
or 3. filter bp_the_topic_time_since_last_post in functions.php
Specs
1. WordPress latest
2. Buddypress latest
3. Frisco theme
4. Use bbpress 2.0 for group forums
5. Use “GD bbpress Tools” plugin to have a signature. (its sad that bbpress doesnt have such a basic feature)
For the second time in my entire life, I had a look at PHP and CSS. I hope I can cope with. Till then which is the “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”?
Why nobody is helping me?
I think I found it, Its in bp-activity > bp-activity-template.php > starts line 1187 > bp_activity_time_since’
Thanks @rogercoathup for bp_insert_activity_meta() function hint
*Update*
bp_core_time_since( $activities_template->activity->date_recorded ) date_recorded would be the post date
so it looks like I need to make a new function that uses the regular PHP time function to display the time style

Hello everybody, okay? I love the BuddyPress and use it on my site it’s been a year. I am also looking for a long time ago if php code. I do not know php programming, but I always find a way to try to resolve things. If I need an id for each user displayed. example:
I have 3 users on my network. 1 is the administrator (me), level 10. Is a subscriber level 0 and the other author-level 9 (I think it is 9). This code would show if a text, “Administrator”, for example, only for the users level 10 and so on. And I would view this code in the header-member or elsewhere in the profile of each user. Then, the user level 0 appear “User” and while the level 9 appear “Author” in your profile.
I know that was kind of big post because it’s kind of hard to explain. I ran the search and google, but did not. The codes found in the WP codex did not work …
I await answers, please help me. Hugs to all!
@venkateshmothe @raminjan there are two major BP album/gallery/media plugins which can handle video uploading to server or CDN
1. Free – BuddyPress Media beta version – http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/ not for live sites unless you are a developer yourself. Do read minimum requirements and other documentation
– Their stable version a.k.a BuddyPress Album is for images
2. Premium – BP Gallery – upload images, videos, audio as well as embed videos from youtube, vimeo etc. – http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/
@damler My instructions above should have fixed the “right sidebar dropping down”. What do you mean “as the central column expands”? Got to see it, site URL?
== Which CSS file must I edit, I don’t want to risk messing it up as it’s working great. ==
At the bottom of your easel theme’s style.css file.
@mercime I did do that. I mentioned it in my original post. The Register page works just as it is supposed to when the bp-default theme is activated.
I’m trying to find out what about my set up with the Suffusion theme is causing the conflict. It works with the bp-default theme, but I don’t want to use that theme. I’m wondering where do I go from here to get it working with my Suffusion theme.
@lacemastarson basic troubleshooting -> deactivate Suffusion BP Pack, and change to bp-default theme. See if issue is corrected.
Hello ,
My site is running with one of the mysitemyway buddypress themes and i asked this question there but they told me to ask it here.
I have disabled the Buddypress toolbar and i want to add the user related links in the main menu. i know how to add it from wordpress panel but for example if the user is logged in i want to show some logged in users related links and if the user is not logged in i want to show sign-up and log in link.
@rogercoathup thanks to your help I just achieved what I wanted 
I’m doing this now and it’s working fine (still will polish it a bit more):
if ( !isset( $bp->groups->current_group ) || !$bp->groups->current_group || $gid != $bp->groups->current_group->id ) {
$group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $gid ) );
} else {
$group = $bp->groups->current_group;
};
groups_record_activity( array(
'action' => apply_filters( 'groups_activity_new_update_action', sprintf( __( '%1$s publicó una actualización en %2$s', 'buddypress'), bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id ), '<a href="' . bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . '">' . esc_attr( bp_get_group_name( $group ) ) . '</a>' ) ),
'content' => $content,
'type' => $type,
'item_id' => $gid,
'user_id' => $user_id
)
)
Thanks a lot for your help!!! 
Thanks for the reply @karmatosed
On the Changelog for the Suffusion BuddyPress Pack on the WordPress page it says they’ve added support for BuddyPress 1.6.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/suffusion-buddypress-pack/changelog/
I like to ask you the professionals a questions since no one will give me a direct answer when i call and ask about there product in specific a yes or a no all they want to do is hurry up and sell me there product with out answering my direct question
can i use classipress here is the link to them http://www.appthemes.com/themes/ to upload and update all of my subject titles into buddypress
for example i have dog groomers as a title and dog trainers and also i have veterinarians as all subjects listed in every major city and state all over the world instead of manually uploading and updating the subjects i want to know if i can do this all at once
Such as another example
Alabama
Montgomery dog groomers
dog trainers
veterinarians
pet stores
k-9 training schools
and so on and so on until i get all of my subjects in, in each city that is in Alabama
@rogercoathup thanks for your help, do you have any links for documentation on that function? I’ll try to find out in the meantime
If someone else has an example for what I need it would be awesome
@frank13 No problem glad I could be of assistance!
There was a group documents plugin, but that’s no longer available.
It would be a project to build these capabilities, but nothing too difficult for a BuddyPress developer — the starting point would be the groups extension API: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/
You can adapt a theme to work with BuddyPress, your first port of call for that is to use this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
Hi, have you checked if the latest pack on Suffiusion supports the latest WordPress/BuddyPress? I see this:
WordPress 3.0 or higher
Suffusion 3.6.8 or higher.
BuddyPress 1.2 or higher
To me, that may be the issue is that it is not compatible. I’d probably suggest contacting the pack authors to confirm.
For ratings — have a look at GDPress and their star rating plugin
You can search for ‘buddypress.org anti spam’ on Google ( search doesn’t work on this forum ), and it should throw up a lot of previous discussion on the subject.
@djpaul also revealed that a coming version of BuddyPress will have Akismet support for activity stream entries (1.6 or 1.7… I can’t remember which).
Hi,
I am a veteran WordPress user and am building my first BuddyPress powered site. I have most of this figured out; however, I need help/advice on group level features.
On some of my groups, I need the ability to share information such as static pages and files. So my three questions are:
Page
Can a standard WP page be made available within a group. I know I could use the GroupBlog plugin and post information as posts, but being able to serve up some pages would be great.
File Repository
I need a place where group members could share files. I have seen this on several site. Not sure if it is custom code or a plugin.
Group Level Menu
Assuming I can do pages and file area, how could I change the group menu bar to accommodate these new features.
Thanks in advance on any help with this!
Hello, I have 2 questions:
1. Does Buddypress have a rating system where i can rate member’s comments from best to worst?
2. Does Buddypress have anti-spamming features?
thank you.
@newpress — if you want to modify a website theme, at the very least you’ll need some HTML / CSS knowledge. It would be a good idea to book up on those before attempting to modify the look and feel of your site.
Hi, @raminjan you can certainly achieve that, both making it yourself working at code level or (what I suggest) start with a plugin that achieves the “private community” functionality and set yourself a “front page” (you’ll use a modified version of the login page I guess
).
Here are some helpful links on how to do what you need:

@mercime thanks for all the help, it’s really appreciated. The site is almost 100% except that when I access any of the Buddypress sites the right sidebar drops down as the central column expands. Which CSS file must I edit, I don’t want to risk messing it up as it’s working great.
