@ORyanMcentire The content section for multi-lined activity is called via bp_activity_content_body() around line 46 inside the entry.php file.
If you remove that, then all the activities will become two lines (the action, and the meta buttons).
“Bob posted an update 200 years ago
comment, favorite, delete”
That should get it close to what you seem to be looking for. To modify the action line however, is slightly more difficult… and requires filtering of the bp_activity_action function.
and to modify the meta buttons is around line 60 of entry.php

@naijaping Oh okay, I misread the button part. If your just trying to change an image like that why not just locate the image in question in the _inc/images/activity-time-since.png and replace the image in that file giving it the same name. That should work for any image. The important thing is just naming it the same name so that the css will still pull it from the url.
@shawn38, thanks for for input but thats not what am loooking for , your css will only change the background to image. what i am trying to do is to add a icon to object which already has a background e.g friendship button.
I know it should be : background-image : url(
). that is what is used for wordpress but why its not working is what i dont know.
Croatian?
If so, the file name is wrong. It should be “buddypress-hr.mo” etc

@words2us, this is off topic but please which font are using for your logo or better still who did your logo?
Regard
Thanks, @mercime but unless I’m mistaken, that will remove the text below the comment form. I want to be able to modify the text there.
== I re-installed the BP Template Pack plugin. When I tried to activate it I got this error: “The plugin does not have a valid header.” ==
Usually, that happens because of:
1) double-nested plugin folder
– double check that plugin template files are in wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack/ and NOT in wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack/bp-template-pack/
2) Incomplete plugin file transfers
– download zip file of BP template pack plugin to your computer, unzip, then go to inside folder with files and upload via FTP to wp-content/plugins/
3) The “header” of the plugin in not valid
– could not be the reason in this case because this plugin’s header is valid for sure
@words2us add the following to your child theme’s functions.php file
`add_filter( ‘comment_form_defaults’, ‘mme_remove_default_html’);
function mme_remove_default_html ( $default ) {
unset($default);
return $default;
}`
geat job @poolie I have been looking your site, couldn’t belive that is a buddypress website at the first galance. How did you integrate a mobile apps into wordpress? I am courious how your business is running? I hope all goes well.
I deleted BP Template Pack plugin. I then activated BuddyPress. I re-installed the BP Template Pack plugin. When I tried to activate it I got this error:
“The plugin does not have a valid header.”
In order to repeat the process (so I could report the results accurately) I had to deactivate BuddyPress. Only then could I see BP Template Pack plugin to delete.
@mercime Ok. Thanks for all your help so far.
I have done BP for awhile and the work around…and will implement it on my 2nd site soon…
Thanks
Okay, this video answered my question: http://labsecrets.com/2012/01/23/buddypress-and-bbpress-forums-made-easy/
Turns out I had to change the slugs and a few settings. That opened up another can of worms, but this problem, at least, is SOLVED! 
We have Group forums which are working fine, but we want to have Site-wide forums and phase out the groups. When I click the button to install Site-wide forums, the popup window notifies me that I have the latest version installed and does not give me an option to install them. What am I missing? And thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

== I attempted to install these plugins ==
You only need the BP Template Pack plugin.
== When I activated the BuddyPress Template Pack the BP Compatibility menu does not show up in Appearance (or any where else). ==
BP Compatiblity link does not show up in dashboard menu Appearance if BuddyPress is not activated
== The plugin does not have a valid header ==
Delete the BP Template pack plugin from your installation. Then activate BuddyPress plugin first, then download and install new BP Template Pack plugin files and activate.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size is totally different to Fatal error: Call to undefined function
You only have 32 mb of memory available and wordpress needs more. There are various technques for increasing memory available but some hosts don’t allow those methods to be used and require a different hosting plan.
If that isn’t practical it is possible to run wordpress with less memory if you cut back on plugins, use a theme that doesn’t eat up memory, and only upload very small pictures…. There are various plugins around that can help you work out what is eating ram
I used to find it hard to run wordpress with 32 meg of memory, let alone buddypress ( fortunately my host upgraded me ).
The error message I get is:
‘Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/riversid/public_html/wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 1018’
However if I retry to visit a page the line number changes. Deleting Buddypress via ftp, restores my orignal site. I’ve re-installed Buddypress and the same error is appearing.
Any advice would be greatfully received.

Hello everyone,
I am desperately in need of a solution to the problem. I just installed buddypress on my wordpress blog: frankyuyan.com
Whenever I go to embed a video (I copy the embed code from youtube), it shows page not found on my blog’s post. If I hyperlink to the page, it strangely places my site’s URL in front of the link, which when clicked results in another error message.
Is there anyway to resolve this issue? I have the webpage with the problem here:
http://frankyuyan.com/the-blenz-coffee-guy-on-success-his-inspiring-speech
The video I am trying to embed is the following:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eBGF_j7S4I%E2%80%9D
Thank you!
I was wondering if anyone managed to get this excellent plugin to work with buddypress? If so, could you please share how?
@allentan I have not used BP Album, but I am fairly sure that the developers there would have that covered. You can ask in their forums. Good luck.
Hello – the basics:
– using WordPress 3.3.1.
– buddypress Version 1.5.5
– BP Social child theme (also tested on Default 1.5.5.
– Plugins activated – only Buddypress.
– url – http://www.wearethedads.com (registration is open if you need to create a test account)
The issue:
When a user replies to an activity status the comment appears to have registered and the user who is replied to gets an email notification. However, when the comment is refreshed the users’ replies disappear.
The screenshots:
Comment appears before refresh – http://screencast.com/t/BGAFznDZNT9X
Comment after refresh has disappeared – http://screencast.com/t/UdcqYgx1vg1
Comment appears on user’s own activity stream – http://screencast.com/t/PEd4dbBSv
The reward:
I really need this sorting and I appreciate that everyone in the BP community is busy so I’m prepared to make an instant payment of £50 for the first person who can solve the issue so that the site works again! I can’t subscribe to threads here so if you could email info AT wearethedads.com if you need more info.
