BuddyPress.org

I guess the next step would be to raise an issue on Trac, since this sounds like you are wanting a change to the way the code works. include the link to the Yoast discussion.

It sounds like something is messing with the user database lookups, have you tried deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and trying?

Hey @werny,

I’ve just added this to the repository. It doesn’t do anything advanced, but is free!

Toolkit for BuddyPress

I guess the first thing to check is that you have a page configured to be the activation page. If you look in Settings>>BuddyPress>>Pages you can check there. You won’t be able to access the activation page while logged in, so log out and see if you can access the activate page manually, without the activation key. does that work?

Which BP Theme are you using ( Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options ) then I can be more accurate in my testing.

That’s great! It took me a while to figure it out and it would have definitely been a downer if it didn’t work.

I also worked out how to combine all of the activity types onto one page here https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-combine-activity-tabs-to-one/ it may also be of interest.

I think what you are asking for is that group activity should not be posted to the activity page.

group activities for public groups are automatically shown site-wide by default and I can’t see anyway to change this. The only option I could come up with, which is far from ideal is to delete the activity that is set sitewide and add it again with the setting change to hide sitewide:

add_action( 'bp_activity_add', 'bpex_hide_group_activity' );

function bpex_hide_group_activity( $r, $activity_id ) {
	
	if ( $r['component'] == buddypress()->groups->id ) {
		$group = groups_get_group( $r['item_id'] );
       		if ( isset( $group->status ) && 'public' == $group->status ) {
                     bp_activity_delete( 'id' => $activity_id );
		     $r['hide_sitewide' => true;
		     $new_id = bp_activity_add( $r );
                }
	}
}

It’s not really ideal as any notifications that get sent based on the first activity will result in a not found error when clicked so you will probably want to improve the logic used to filter our specific activities and not all group activities as I’ve done here.

I’ve recently wrote a pluugin that allows you to devolve authority for each of the BuddyPress components to other roles. So a non admin could manage the extended profile information for all users. It’s called BP Devolved Authority. However if I understand you correctly then this may not be what you are looking for. I’m not aware of any other plugins that allow finer granularity of managing BP Users.
