BuddyPress.org

the answer to what file was provided earlier in this thread:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/re-word-whats-new/#post-102510

the file you need to edit lives in either the bp-themes folder within the buddypress plugin /bp-themes/bp-default/activity/post-form.php or in a child theme where the structure should be /wp-content//themes/your-theme-name/activity/post-form.php and as has been advised you ought to make edits only on copies of these files in a child theme.

look for lines ~29 & 31 `printf( __( “What’s new in %s, %s?”…`

@TGIwebsite if you did not create the Community page then it could be hardcoded in your theme’s header.php under main navigation. Open up header.php and search and replace community with “Social”

@pinhit

That depends what exactly you are trying to restrict. Do you want to restrict those funky View Permalink pages to logged-in users only? Or do you want to restrict the entire Activity Stream to logged-in only? If the latter, do you also want to restrict Group Activity… the list could get quite long

@webby101 – You are safe to update to WordPress 3.1.4. When WordPress 3.2 drops, we are going to release an update to BuddyPress 1.2 to fix a few compatibility issues.

You should also update all sites on your network on your own. Normal users should not be updating your site for you.

@markaduffy – There was a bbPress plugin on the stand-alone side of things at one point, but I believe it hasn’t been updated in some time. I have a thought about how to do this in bbPress 2.0, but it would most likely not be persistent, and rather based off the last time a user visited the site.

You’re not calling any BuddyPress-specific tags in that code sample, so you might have better luck asking for support on the WordPress.org forums. However, you say that you “can’t query up the loop!” What output are you getting, and what output do you expect?

Chouf1’s probably thinking of the upcoming 1.3 release of BuddyPress, which does indeed make this easy. Where did you get the bp_mystique_july theme from? Does that theme’s author offer support, or have a contact email address?

If you’re familiar with PHP, read through /buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-templatetags.php, or look in the theme that comes with BuddyPress and work backwards

I’m not sure what this has to do with BuddyPress. You’re best to contact the author of the SMTP plugin that you’re using for support, or to post on the wordpress.org forums.

Technically all of that is possible but it wouldn’t be included as default in a standard BP template. You could easily get a theme designer/ developer to build most of the functionality there though. It’s all straight forward except for perhaps the payment sections which would require some specialist work.

I’m sure others will chip in with who they have used for custom stuff on their sites.
