Thanks Man @mercime
I did some digging myself – and I did change the CSS for another issue I had where large images were pushing the activity list all over the place. I fixed this by adding the below to the CSS line for ul.activity-list li
‘ul.activity-list li {
padding: 20px 0 0 0;
display:inline-block;
}’
I played with this once more and change the last line to diplay:block; and that seems to have worked well.
Unless you see a reason where this is not the solution – maybe you can see issues in the future?? – I am happy to go with – but I am open to suggestions. 
Adding Dating Function to a Buddypress site
does anyone know how to do this? thanks
@Scotty501 I just checked out fishbook theme in test install. The activity lists are not going bonkers like what’s happening in your site. I would backup your current fishbook theme (with your mods) to computer hard drive, then rename/delete fishbook theme folder, and re-upload fresh fishbook theme https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/fishbook-buddypress-buddypack
@gregfielding Doing `!bp_get_blog_signup_allowed()` isn’t probably the best approach though as it twists logic and if you did decide to close blog registration from the dashboard you would then be showing the form for blog signup the reverse of what you want.
Why not simply wrap the blog section in a test for a variable e.g:
‘$show_blog_signup = false;
if( $show_blog_signup) :
blog form stuff
endif;
`
Then you change the variable at top of page if needed.
You need to increase available memory. See this page for 4 ways to do so – https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/
as always thanks @mercime
I am beginning to regret using this theme – seems to have quite a few style issues with it – 
Any ideas on fixing it?
@Scotty501 looks like it’s missing some styles for the activity lists.
OK @djpaul, the answer is “NO”. The actual bbPress plugin has not this functionnality, but it exist a bbPress plugin who can do this: “support forums”.
The new question is now: is bbPress plugable when integrated into a BP multisite install ?
And if you really don;t have wildcards.. move to a new host that does. Seriously. There’s less work & pain in moving to a new host than there would be to have any kind of workaround.
Emails are unrelated to the theme.
Likely, as we;ve covered many times previously – the emails are not being *recieved* which is a different issue. Please search, and if you still can;t find an answer post a new thread.
It is
remove_action( ‘init’, ‘bp_core_wpsignup_redirect’ );
I agree with the OP – I tried your fix above – but I am still able to see and post activity in the groups.
just to re-trace my steps – I created in my theme (fishbook) groups/single/activity.php – and pasted the activity.php from /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/
I then copied wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/post-form.php to /wp-content/themes/fishbook-buddypress-buddypack/activity/ and renamed it post-form-groups and cleared the contents of that file. However, I still see the activity box etc.
Hello, I’d like to remove my account from this website (buddypress.org), how can I do so?
Thanks that helps a lot
Looks like that belongs to something called Page Security by Contexture, which won’t be any good to me in this instance.
So then my question is, what is the best way to filter the member directory based on an extended buddypress field? They have a profile field that is a multi-selct box and it contains an option that would identify those that are not to be displayed in their member directory.
I was presuming that BP would have some $user.extended-field.value that I could use to filter the list in the member-loop page but as I said before I am concerned this it would be a cheesy little hax that would probably mess up the pagination and god knows what else.
If I wanted to modify the SQL statement just for the member-loop what is the best practice way to do that?
Thanks
I would use TDO mini forms , best for your purposes , works nice.
I have been researching this issue and can’t seem to find a solid answer or fix anywhere.
I have a bunch of usernames that in my wordpress install (imported from another system) that have spaces in them. In buddypress I noticed an issue where I cannot PM them at all, I get an error.
I am wondering if there is anyway to fix this, either by altering buddypress to allow the spaces in the usernames, or perhaps running a mysql query to remove the spaces and replace them with –
I am a little weary about the sql as I have read about username changes via sql causing profiles to break.
Any ideas? I have 8000+ members and while most do not have spaces, many of them do and it would be impossible to manually fix all of them even if I could.
Ok, just to clarify. You mentioned above “The main reason I want two separate installs is because I can’t get wildcard subdomains working on the web server level. I have to add each subdomain in cPanel.“. Yet in your first post you said “I currently have one WP3 install, multi-site, subdomain, that just hosts sites with content on them.” which means regularly that wildcard subdomains are enabled. So which one is it? Or are you talking about installations in different servers?
I thought that too, but I didn’t have any success with it. So I did some more digging and found what I was looking for:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/feeds/bp-activity-group-feed.php
@gunju2221 good to know that Arras is now more BP-friendly
Thanks.
The main reason I want two separate installs is because I can’t get wildcard subdomains working on the web server level. I have to add each subdomain in cPanel.
Which would be really, really bad for users who want their own blogs.
Would it be possible, then, to convert my subdomain install into a subdirectory install and still have BuddyPress work happily? (I know it’s compatible with both, but any difficulties that could arise with a switched install versus a clean subdomain one..?) And would the Domain Mapping plugin work fine as a hack-around to get some sites as subdomains?
`one, too: cursor on “buddypress with logo” on menu, on left. it will show arrow to expand, see option there.`
???
Just go to your dashboard and create more profile fields under “Profile Field Setup”
One option is to install this plugin: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/external-group-blogs/
It imports activity from other blog feeds around the web. What you would do is put the address of the feeds of the group’s activity streams into the group, so the posts would flow into that group also.
