@nit3watch That’s an interesting idea about .po/.mo templates. Maybe in the future, if BP starts shipping with more than one default theme, it could also ship with more than one such default template, just to give people a sense of how you might make BP act differently.
The slug idea might be workable (though awfully messy) for English, but it simply couldn’t work more generally.
Thanks. I found this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/ and BP Group Control.
Basically I want to have groups/forums but I only want Admins/Mods to create more as and when needed. I’ll have to test these out.
Thanks
Dave
It would be impossible to make words like “Group” into an admin-configurable option on a text-heavy software like BuddyPress. In English, we might be able to get away with creating a singular replacement and a plural replacement, but not all languages work this way. In Russian, for example, a word might be in a different form depending on which grammatical part of the sentence it is. For this reason, a simple variable substitution for a widely-used word like ‘group’ can’t work. It has to be on a sentence level, which is essentially what the .pot method provides.
I sympathize with those who have a hard time getting Poedit up and running – I don’t find it that easy to use myself. But I disagree that a language file is the wrong way to solve the problem. To me it seems like exactly the right, and only, way.
How do you set panel to stay down before you login ?
Check this Group – it has lots of threads on localization / translation:

@markhahnel I’ve edited your earlier post to show the code.
To add a link tag open header.php and look for other link tags in the <head> section to the top of the file.
I’m no fan of hiding things with CSS – the code is still ‘cluttering’ up the html – best to remove it in the html/php source file.
Thanks for the lead on the suggestions from @boone using custom filters in the functions.php file.
Hello,
Thnx Roger. I did make some research and found this post:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/how-to-add-per_page35-without-messing-up-load-more-link/
Since I also have this code in my activity-loop.php:
php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘activity’ ) ) ) :
Thanks to @Boone :
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/how-to-add-per_page35-without-messing-up-load-more-link/#post-45733
I did this in my child theme’s function.php file:
function my_custom_query_filter( $query_string ) {
$query_string .= ‘&action=activity_update’;
return $query_string;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’, ‘my_custom_query_filter’ );
It seems to work! I now just need to get rid of the dropdown filter boxes!
Thanks @hnla point taken
So to clarify I need to make the changes here:
https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/3111/branches
but with the theme edits made in my custom theme rather than the default theme?
Hi,
I advise doing this in your own child theme:
You’ll have to modify the /activity/index.php file. In there you can change your activity stream loop to just return status updates, and you can also remove the dropdown filter.
This page gives some guidance on modifying the activity stream loop, including the filter you’ll need just for status updates:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/
Cheers,

@r-a-y, @Travel-Junkie I replaced Ray’s original code with Travel-Junkies as it was favoured by the majority. However I´m using a lot of pages and Travel-Junkies solution is only blocking the core Bp functions. In addition Ray’s post is no longer present. What do I need to add to block all of my pages for non registered users? where can I find Rays original code?
Thanks Paul.
anyone have any experience with Magic Members? http://www.magicmembers.com/features/
@porscheheritage – thanks. sorry, but at this moment I am busy with other jobs so I am not able to modify it for public use. But I will think about that in future if I decide to change look of the network
@erich73
You could use this snippet in your functions.php to redirect the user to the homepage: http://pastebin.com/VPfgZZTu
You could cutomize the code to your wishes!
Yuo have to define “secure” on a technical level. SSL only secures the transport of bytes, that should work right out of the box with buddypress, you just need to upgrade you existing webserver configuration and get a SSL certificate. YOu can get free certs at cert.org.
However, this does not mean that the messages are encrypted – so content in your database will still be readable to anybody who has access to the database.
@pisanojm @abu_eldahab – There’s a typo on the last line.
Change “my_eombed_wmode” to “my_oembed_wmode” and it should work.
*Edit – I just noticed that there’s an error in my code. Updated Pastebin snippet should work now.
@r-a-y I got the same error as abu above when adding snipet to the functions.php re: transparent oembed
“This is running on a yahoo small business hosting plan.”
Have you asked them if they have successfully installed BuddyPress before? I think you should. I have seen others use yahoo for single WP in wp.org forums, but never wpmu/multisite much less BuddyPress.
@jeremyltn Are you going to add your plugin to the repo? I tested it out tonight on WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.4.1 and it didn’t work for me. So I changed the post URL and then it works. However, it updates the page with a warning about headers already having been sent from the BuddyPress messaging component, which I’m not sure how to fix. Anyway, I’m writing a blog and linking to your plugin, offering it for download with the updated post URL. I know a lot of BuddyPress people would love it if you added it to the repo- People are always looking for this. Thanks for the work you’ve done!
Please clarify, as I’m getting this from your post above:
That you have one WPMU installation. You installed BP in e.g. blog_id_2 and then removed BP there and now pointed it to another user’s blog in e.g. blog_id_4.
– Did you add/change wp-config.php to point to new blog_id_4?
define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id );
so e.g. define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 4 );
– Check Settings > Reading – have you changed the static front page from Activity to WP default settings?
Can someone help me with this?
@afritech, No problemo WPTouch improves teh look over the other plugin, but still not 100% solution: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wptouch/
@el_terko Scheduled for a pre beta release tomurrow. Has all the basic features for a groups hierarchy. And for standalone forums I plan to add in a feature like this in future versions too. Anyway @modemlooper this does sound like something I need for a future version for one of my sites. I’ll defiantly do some looking around and try to whip something up. I’ll post back here if I find anything.
Hi guys,
Did you manage to figure things out? I just lost my wordpress admin bar and my BuddyPress Sliding Login Panel ( a plugin) after rebooting my computer.

I found how to restrict name changes here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/disable-name-change-in-profile/ , but am still having difficulty learning how to populate the the name with the entered username.
In populating it correctly I think I would use something like if (bp_the_profile_group() == “1”), but now i need to assign username to name.
