My BuddyPress site is going to be based on a specific videogame where users of the game can add their “guilds” as groups and have the ability to share information about their guilds.
My only snag is that the term “groups” might be confusing to some users. So I’ve gone into every php file and renamed (correctly) the word “Groups” and changed it to “Guilds.”
It worked out well until I had to do an update to BP and it overwrote every change I made to the word “Guild.”
Is there any chance that in a future update, it might be possible to have an option to rename Groups to whatever you want via BP settings?
Ahh, ok. I’ll give BP Moderation a shot. Thanks Paul and Shawn!
Hey Paul!
I just tried that out. I went into settings an did what you said. I have NO IDEA WHY, but it worked! You have no idea how happy I am now. I can pack my stuff, go to starbucks, and get back to the fun stuff.
Thank you Paul and Hugo so much!

@djpaul, before BP 1.6 is released is there a possibility you guys could work it into the dashboard settings for BP to enter a number for the number of activity items displayed without interfering with the load more option? Thanks!
Thank you Paul! I know there are some difficult requirements and that’s why I’ve been having issues finding the right theme. I do have some finances I can invest in a theme, but can’t spend over $100 on it, and need to know it will work with buddy press as well as being responsive. There are some AMAZING responsive themes out there, but I have no clue if they will work with buddypress.

Try the bp moderation plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-moderation/ its only compatible for WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.5 Its not an automatic solution but it does help if a member is posting inappropriate activity, and it allows other members of the community to flag it and you as an admin will receive a notification in the dashboard that will let you decide how to handle the flagged item.
BP and WP versions? Could be a theme or plugin conflict. Have you tried basic troubleshooting by changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress?
Not aware of any plugins nor plans for anything like that in core, though we will be improving moderation generally.
That function doesn’t have any filters or action calls. You’re probably best to find an action in the default theme’s template surrounding where this function is used*.
*If you need to add new fields into the *form*, then that’s not possible at the moment. You could contribute a patch to add a new action into this function on https://buddypress.trac.wordpess.org so that we could get it in to a future release 
Add the following in your stylesheet
`#primary .widget-title {
text-align: left !important;
}`
[Updated: 03-04-12]
just one more small thing:
i’ve added the sytle modifications to the style.css, but now somehow the sidebar widget-titles get cut off.
it’ probably overwriting something in the style definition, right?
the style.css alone from mantra is ~ 2200 lines… i cant find the part thats interfering…
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to design a new BP plugin in order to add some new search fields. I’ve find the BP function using in order to create the form (Buddypress -> bp-groups -> bp-groups-template.php -> bp_directory_groups_search_form()). But I don’t know how can I override it … I’ve tried to add a action : add_action(‘bp_directory_groups_search_form’, ‘mycutomfunction’) in my plugin but it doesn’t work … Is anyone aware about this ?
Thank you very much for help
I’ve noticed that all of the WordPress Censoring/Word Replacer plugins I’ve tried don’t carry over to BuddyPress. Things like Activity updates and comments don’t get caught in the censor filter.
Are there any BuddyPress censoring filters/plugins currently or will future versions of BP have anything like that?
WOW! Thanks so VERY much! thats exactly what did the job! the content ist now right there, where it belongs. in the middle! )
Ok, I guess the deactivate/reactivate sort of worked in that it readded the Name field back to the page. The only issue now is that it’s not “aligned” correctly to BuddyPress.
In Profile > Edit when changing your name, it changes the name but not the “nicename”. So a user I have is named Mike with the nicename @alfred.
Dunno what to do about this.

Go to the dashboard, under BuddyPress in the left pane select components. Uncheck the checkbox to the left beside Activity Stream. You may also want to create a custom menu while in the dashboard under appearance/menus and name it, make sure under theme locations/primary navigation you select the name you created and save it. Down below check all the post and pages you want to add to the navigation and click the Add to Menu button. To the left you can drag the boxes in the order you want the post/pages to display in the navigation menu. Make sure you save the menu. This way only the items you want you up on the front end navigation and in the buddybar at the top.

@djpaul, Hey thanks for the code snippet. The only problem is when I replace the code the load more link disappears at the bottom. How can I fix that? I want the page to only display the 5 newest items, but I still would like the option of loading more older activity. Thanks in advanced!

@djpaul, very impressive work! Thank you!
To make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress, you’ll need to install and activate BP Template Pack plugin then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process
You’re welcome. Simple way yes – vote 5 stars for BuddyPress at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/
