BuddyPress.org

Hi @canadianmusicnetwork

Still can’t login but it’s OK. The below code was supposed to work if you cleared your browser cache and restarted it. If that wouldn’t work still you could have tried testing the site on another computer which you had not used to visit the site. If you had a browser that you hadn’t used to visit the site that could work too to help you see the changes made by this code.

#buddypress div.activity-comments div.acomment-content {
    color: #FFFFFF;
} 

Also, make sure you’re placing that code in the right place “style.css”

This article may be of help to you to change that text http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/make-your-wordpress-site-buddypress-ready/

Or you can use this one too with a plugin: https://webdevstudios.com/2015/06/02/creating-custom-templates-for-buddypress/

Please create a temporary buddypress user account for me so that I can log in and take a look.

@zabelator in that case, you’ll have to use jQuery and probably not CSS.

Open “head.php” and add the following code.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#buddypress .acomment-meta a, #buddypress .activity-header a, #buddypress .comment-meta a" ).click(function(oneb){
    oneb.preventDefault();
});

});
</script>

It should now work across the board. Note, this will be disabled even when the user is logged in so you might want to use php to load this script on home page only. Let me know if works.

@canadianmusicnetwork, Please remove the previous code and add this.

#buddypress div.activity-comments div.acomment-content {
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

Lemme know if it works.

I suspected that might happen. The problem is here $willie = my_f();. In this particular case you can’t do that. I may have mislead you earlier so I’ve updated my reply here.

Hi @zabelator

Try adding this to “style.css” in your active theme

#buddypress .acomment-meta a, #buddypress .activity-header a, #buddypress .comment-meta a {
    text-decoration: none;
    pointer-events: none;
    cursor: default;
}

Hi @canadianmusicnetwork

Try adding this to “style.css” in your active theme

#buddypress #activity-stream p {
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

You can do that using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-multi-network/

Each subsite becomes it’s own separate BuddyPress network.

Similar answer to this topic. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/user-fields/

This plugin mentioned, with a bit of tweaking, can do exactly what you are talking about: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

You can control this somewhat with this plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

Underneath each profile field, you just need to explain the square brackets thing. Example:

Connections Profile Field:

Use this field to share other interests you think may be of interest to the community. Words or phrases in your profile can be linked to the profiles of other members that contain the same phrases. To specify which words or phrases should be linked, add square brackets: e.g. “I enjoy [BMX] bikes and [ballet]. I play [guitar].” If you do not specify anything, phrases will be chosen automatically.

This seems to be part of the way Buddypress works, you can’t change your login name and this is the name it uses for messaging, hence the @name issue you mention. it means that users can get pretty confused if people change their display name.

I’m not aware of anyway to change this.

Try using the Buddypress Registration Options plug in, I use this and it sends me an email once when they first register and then another once they have activated their account.

Thank you for that, Venutius. After a good night’s sleep and some more playing around, it dawned on me that I don’t have to put all of the BuddyPress links in the main menu, especially since they are linked to from profiles. However, all those links I mentioned are still visible by logged out viewers, ie, .com/members/ .com/activity/ etc. Is there a way to block these pages from public view?

BuddyPress uses a Template Hierarchy, just as WordPress does. If you have a copy of activate.php in your theme, BuddyPress will look for it and load that in place of the core template file. See the article for more info.

In the Buddypress pages setting, try setting the activity stream to point to your “Activity” page, that should work, you should then see all the activity on that page.

How does MediaPress compare to rtMedia?

I haven’t used Mediapress myself but I know it’s quite popular here in the BuddyPress community.

How does MediaPress compare to rtMedia? Does it also work with bbPress? I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it, but I’m getting curious.

And @jrunfitpro, rtMedia is another option. I believe it also used to be referred to as BuddyPress Media.

Check out the Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs article. You can use a language file to “localise” BuddyPress strings.

Yes you sure can use multisite + buddypress( network activated ) to achieve this.
But merging two existing sites under one multisite will need shuffling things here and there. And as you are saying both websites use multiple themes, things might get tricky 🙂
