BuddyPress.org

Hello,

I recently installed the BuddyPress plugin, which is version buddypress.4.4.0 and users can click on edit profile, but they can only edit their name. I also disabled the feature that is through WordPress and lets users edit their profile there because it doesn’t show up on users’ profile page on my social site that BuddyPress manages. Users should be able to edit their profile in the edit option of their profile on my site that BuddyPress manages because the feature is there to do so, but it only allows users to edit what is called “Base Name” under edit profile and they can’t add their bio or anything else. Is there another plugin I have to use with Buddy Press to make it to where users can edit their profile in the edit profile section of their profile on my site that BuddyPress manages? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Respectfully,

Hi all

After a lot of searching around I found a solution for a friends only activity stream.

The following function works and I am only seeing updates from friends:

function buddydev_friends_only_activity_args( $args ) {
    
    if( ! bp_is_activity_directory() || !  is_user_logged_in() ) {
        return $args;
    }
    
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    
    $user_ids = friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user_id );
    
    //include users own too?
    array_push( $user_ids, $user_id );
    
    $args['user_id'] = $user_ids;
    
    //print_r($args);
    return $args;
 
}

add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'buddydev_friends_only_activity_args' );

However, the mentions tab on my activity stream now displays the message “Sorry, there was no activity found.” If I remove the function I can see all the mentions again.

Mentions are still working fine on user profiles.

Any ideas what is causing this?

When I upload a photo to my wall I see the link on the activity page rather then the image (thumbnail) of the photo.

When I click on the link the photo pops up. I would like my users to see the photo rather than have to click the link for the photo to open.

Is there a way to change that so when I upload a photo to my wall I see the thumbnail?

Thank you

RE–Changing ‘Private Message’ to ‘Message’ throughout BuddyPress and bbPress

Would like to remove the word ‘private’ from anywhere ‘private message’ automatically appears, so that these always just say ‘message’, not ‘private message’.

The last answer here was 5+ years ago:

Topic: Private Message Button Label Change · BuddyPress.org

Is this still the last word? Any BuddyPress based themes, plugins, add-ons, or a way to do this simply? Considering using Front End PM to sidestep this issue.

Thanks for suggestions or help.
