BuddyPress.org

After posting this, I found CSS that works to remove the menu items, if it helps anyone else.

https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/how-to-customize-or-delete-buddypress-standard-menus

For the site CSS I set:
a#user-notifications {display : none !important}
a#user-invite-anyone {display : none !important}
a#user-settings {display : none !important}

BP adapts to any theme you use. If you’re looking to customize specific aspects, you can take advantage of the BP template hierarchy:

Are you using BuddyPress member types, or something else?

Member Types

Hi, there are a lot of reasons that email fails. There’s a current issue with non-SSL domains and Outlook.com for instance: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-emails-not-going-out/

If you’re not receiving any emails from your WordPress site, start by testing your site setup with this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

In any case, we’ll need more detail, like what the user’s email address domain is, to help you troubleshoot.

Hi @jcrr-

Please open a ticket about this issue: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Sounds like you’ve gathered some useful/interesting/disturbing info about the underlying issue.

Thanks!

Hey Kristjan,

Congrats on the success of your community!

BuddyPress is designed and architected to scale quite elegantly, so long as the underlying hardware can also support it. It’s a bit of a non-answer, but is ultimately what it boils down to.

(For example, WordPress.org has about 13 million registered user accounts, and on any given day they are active across the various connected properties, but there are a few dozen web servers handling the constant database reads & writes, API calls for software updates, caching various parts, etc…)

Group creation (and subsequent user memberships) all eventually just bubble down to a singular and easy to use function call, so depending on your parameters, and with a small custom plugin, could be automated pretty easily. Nothing exists in BuddyPress itself to facilitate the automation part, but there’s nothing preventing it either.

Perhaps to more directly answer your question, there is no technical limitation to the number of users or groups or group members your community could have, beyond the limitations of MySQL, PHP, and modern computing itself (maximum 32 bit integer value, etc…)

Hi, it looks like there is a potential issue with the unsubscribe header (at least causing unexpected behavior from Outlook.com ):

Ending up in spam is not surprising. Email is complicated, and you can check the web for guides about improving email deliverability from your server. Here’s one:

Hi @jameshh93-

You’ll have to make sure that you’re removing the action _after_ it’s been added, which is when the activity component is loaded.

Here’s a handy list of BP startup actions: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/buddypress-action-hook-sequence-during-startup/

I’d probably try something around the bp_loaded action, like this:

add_action( 'bp_loaded', function() {
    remove_filter( 'bp_activity_post_update', 'bp_activity_make_nofollow_filter' );
} );

Also, I’m not sure you’re targeting the right action. The nofollow filter is applied in these cases:

add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_content',               'bp_activity_make_nofollow_filter' );
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_content_body',          'bp_activity_make_nofollow_filter' );
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_parent_content',        'bp_activity_make_nofollow_filter' );
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_latest_update',         'bp_activity_make_nofollow_filter' );
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_latest_update_excerpt', 'bp_activity_make_nofollow_filter' );
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_feed_item_description', 'bp_activity_make_nofollow_filter' );

the get_content action I’d probably try first is bp_get_activity_content_body when the activity is generated for display.

You could use Buddypress’s natural refresh auto load feature for the Activity Stream, Just tie into it like the activity stream does.

Hello buddy, I have a question, how did you managed to make that users would get their username similar to their buddypress display name?

Yep BuddyPress has it’s own registration page, it ususally automatically creates it – register though in reality buddypress does not use this pages content and just uses the pages slug as an anchor. You can go to Dashboard>>Users>>Profile Fields to add additional profile fields to the register page, you just add them to the Main field group. These are added to the right side of the registration page in the same order as viewed in the main profile group page.

I don’t think they work that way, I also looked at BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Fields but that did not allow for that, just a single field to enter the value. You might want to suggest it as a feature request on BuddyPress Trac:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

There is already a ticket about it: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/408

You should be able to over-load the Activity-Loop so that it does not show new posts:

Activity Loop

How To Customize The BuddyPress Activity Loop

I’d override the template by copying the existing template at wp-content/plugins/buddypress/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

and adding it to my theme at: buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

Add a permissions check around the block you’re wanting to restrict access to (something like this):

<?php if ( bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) ): ?>
	<span class="activity" data-livestamp="<?php bp_core_iso8601_date( bp_get_user_last_activity( bp_displayed_user_id() ) ); ?>"><?php bp_last_activity( bp_displayed_user_id() ); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>

@stevie79 You can easily use custom css

#buddypress span.activity {
    display: none!important;
}

@panthony54 You can install email template again from Tools >> BuddyPress.
