BuddyPress.org

I administer two social sites and both are asking of there is any way to remove notifications of people joining the group and who made friends with whom… It is plugging up the group notification area and users are getting annoyed.
I have searched for appropriate plugins and found a few but all are depreciated and mess up the site.
Wordpress 4.7.3
Buddypress 2.8.2
Bbpress 2.5.12

I found a code hack for the functions.php but it can’t be used in the child “guideline” theme. When added to the child, I lose admin pages. code snippet below

// Remove (hide) various activities from streams.
function my_hidden_activities($a, $activities) {
//if admin we want to know
//if (is_site_admin())
// return $activities;

$nothanks = array(“new_blog_post”, “created_group”, “joined_group”, “new_member”, “friendship_created”, “activity_liked”);

foreach ($activities->activities as $key => $activity) {
if (in_array($activity->type, $nothanks, true)) {
unset($activities->activities[$key]);
$activities->activity_count = $activities->activity_count-1;
$activities->total_activity_count = $activities->total_activity_count-1;
$activities->pag_num = $activities->pag_num -1;
}
}

// Renumber the array keys to account for missing items.
$activities_new = array_values( $activities->activities );
$activities->activities = $activities_new;

return $activities;
}
add_action(‘bp_has_activities’, ‘my_hidden_activities’, 10, 2 );

The author suggests adding to functions.php but without using the child theme the code would be lost after an update. It also broke the site… Even after reverting the changes, the menu and page formatting was gone.

Is there any way that is up to date to filter what activity is reported on the group wall?

Hi
i would like to show some extra information on the members profile page in the header area.

it’s all in /buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/cover-image-header.php

is there a way to make changes without them being overwritten with next buddypress update? can i copy the cover-image-header.php file to my child-theme?

thanks!!

Hi, according to the FTC’s webpage for the Can-Spam Act, there are some legal requirements for commercial emails. Because of this, I want to disable buddypress emails, at least for now. Is there a way to do this besides unticking the activity and notifications in the buddypress settings? Also, can you do this while still preserving some non-commercial emails such as those for password-resets and account activation?

Thank you for your help,
David

A few months ago, I disabled the Compose Private Message feature with css. I think I used this:
#send-to-input: display: none;

My intention was to stop people from being able to send a single message to multiple recipients, but now I have realized that it was a bad idea, so I went to delete the code from my CSS file, but the code is not there.

I checked my child theme’s css, my theme’s css, buddypress’ css, but I can’t find it anywhere.

I’ve tried reverting to my parent-theme, and deactivating all Buddypress plugins (except for BP itself,) but with no luck.

Does anyone know which file I can find that class in? It’s possible that I may have accidentally corrupted a core file, but it seems like my CSS from several months ago has become stuck in the system, or something.

Hi there, this is a WordPress multisite set up.

It’s running the socialize theme purchased from GhostPool. The latest buddypress and bbPress is installed.

The issue I am facing is if a user uploads a cover image on his/her profile or on a group (Created by him/her), it shows up but it is not staying there. Others can’t see it and once the page itself is reloaded the Cover image disappears.I’ve spoken to GhostPool and theyve tried various things and have advised that the issue is with buddypress. We’ve disabled the plugins and reinstalled but it’s still not working. The site URL is https://inspiraonline.uk/inspirasocial/

Hi,

Trying to use buddypress on my site, installed buddypress 2.8.2. It currently handles registration but fails to display “activation link sent” text or “account activated” text. How do i make this possible and how can i make my theme completely compatible with it?
my site is solutions.carrtelcom.com

Does anyone know how to add files to a private message in Buddypress?
Or can anyone make a code or something?

Hey folks,
I’m running into the “are you sure you want to do this?” message when I try to add another value to an xprofile field. Is there some kind of limit or PHP value that value that might need updating? Or maybe a WP memory limit? I can delete a value and add it back but then when I try to add an additional one I get the message again. I have over 500 values for this field currently.

I’ve deactivated all plugins, except Buddypress of course, tried the default theme. There are no errors in the errors logs.

Thanks for any and all assistance!

WP 4.7.3 and BP 2.8.2
