@justbishop so you were featuring posts using Activity Items for blog posts on the index, how are you doing that? I mean the block activity stream types would have always been the fix I think to get rid of those dupes. I’ve done it plenty of times with the snippet I added earlier and including using the fix from wpmuguru, I’ve always been able to eliminate dupes. So really the only problem holding you back was your index post feature-feature, um yea that thing. Wouldn’t you say that was holding you back here?

@im3sna No worries, I get what you mean. What theme are you using? If you are using a WordPress theme, then you have to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin and go through the compatibility process.

@brygiles please start a new topic where you should also provide more information so we can assist you. Like: WP/BP version? WP theme used? Site URL? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/

@candy2012 Sorry for the inconvenience, this site is in transition. In the meantime, Google has indexed our forums pretty well. e.g. Google BuddyPress.org candy2012 and some keywords

== I have installed randy candy! ==
Sorry, the developer has not updated that theme for BP 1.5 compatibility
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-theme-compatibility/

Please.. i need help… don’t know how to get my way around here..
how do I change the front color or the background color of buddypress in wordpress theme? How can i extend membership sign up questions?

tHANK YOU

That specific call-time-pass-by-reference issue has been resolved in trunk. If you want to remove the warnings in your install, open up buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-classes.php and on line 751 replace
` `
with
` `

Will your mention of @wpmuguru send them a notification?

Yes it does

The meta key is sitewide_tags_blog and it contains an array. However if you want to disable SWT on a single blog / site I have a post here: http://wpmututorials.com/plugins/turn-off-sitewide-tags-on-special-blogs/

WP/BP versions? Change to bp-default theme to check if it’s an issue with your custom theme. If that’s not the case, then deactivate plugins except BuddyPress to check if it’s a plugin conflict.

Oops – make that update_site_option and get_site_option. Might be worth pinging @wpmuguru about this as well.

Yep, you can do this just fine, and won’t loose any data. I suggest you set up a test site and have a go before you do it on your live site

What version of BuddyPress are you using?

to reiterate what @VirtualityStudio said, ” people are so used to the way fb works, it would be nice to do that for them “

here here !!!

Don’t get me wrong, BP/WP is a great platform, and we don’t really need millions of fb clones, but the functionality of fb’s activity feeds must surely be an ‘industry standard’ that most sites strive for nowadays.

Buddypress in my opinion was created not only to provide us with the tools to create our own social networks, but also to strive to be more than just a ‘blog orientated’ social engine.

Unfortunately the structure for having the ‘site-wide’ feed pulling in profile feed posts may prove to be counter productive in the long run unless more emphasis is placed on the way these items are controlled. Otherwise everyones personal conversations are the but of all gossip for all and sundry to see, a bit like washing your laundry in public lol

Privacy control too in my humble opinion is ‘up there’ in the priorities list of BP enhancement, I admire the work that contributors have put into some of the plugins in the past but they cannot be relied on to keep up BP updates and really need to become a BP standard protocol no? anyway thats another subject

Hi mercime

Thanks for your helpful reply. I changed Forums base to sitewide-forums & now I have a new forum eg
http://richard-dickinson.com/sitewide-forums/forum/rhdwponlinetwist_forum-4-netnewbies/

I am still though finding it hard to understand & use BP on my site! Hopefully with time I will learn how to use it properly.

Shouldn’t this forum I have created eg rhdwponlinetwist_forum-4-netnewbies show on the top BP admin bar (my username) forums link? Clicking on that Forums link brings me to …../admin/forums page & there is no forum shown there on the forums tab? I am a little confused at the moment with BP on my site-how can I learn to use BP properly on my site?

This isn’t really a BuddyPress question, is it? FB customisation is all about the opengraph tags that you built. I can’t even look at what you’ve done because you haven’t linked to your site
