is there an other setting ? No other setting in BP.

Deactivate the child and use original Fifteen while testing.

– no error message ? No JS error in console (browser tool) ?

You didn’t explain what you want to do. What should Momentum and Milestone do ? Where are they living ? Are this activty types or CPT, something from a plugin ?

As is, your second snippet do nothing from within bp-custom. Function name is missing and eventually filter or action name also.

Insert your buttons by using the meta action filter which is avaible in entry.php

function bfchris() {
echo 'Button test >';
?>
<a href="<?php bp_activity_unfavorite_link(); ?>" class="button unfav bp-secondary-action" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Is Milestone?', 'buddypress' ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Is Milestone?', 'buddypress' ); ?></a>
<a href="<?php bp_activity_unfavorite_link(); ?>" class="button unfav bp-secondary-action" title="<?php esc_attr_e( ' Is Momentum Point?', 'buddypress' ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Is Momentum Point?', 'buddypress' ); ?></a>
<?php
}
add_action( 'bp_activity_entry_meta' , 'bfchris' );

And here for what you have to do for your specific activities

Add custom filters to loops and enjoy them within your plugin

You can use it for free, but have to customize it with your own logotype.
See plugin repo how other plugins use it:

It’s a lot easier just to turn off avatars if the user is not logged in.
Try this in your theme functions.php or in bp-custom.php.

function fresser_turn_off_avatars() {
     $bp = buddypress();
	
     if ( ! is_user_logged_in() )
	$bp->avatar->show_avatars = false;
	
}
add_action('bp_core_set_avatar_globals', 'fresser_turn_off_avatars' );

The easiest way would be to create your own widget, as this widget is in a core file (bp-members/bp-members-widgets.php). Then you can ignore the built in widget and use yours.

Line 307 > 309 is a div containing what you have to modify.

<div class="item-avatar">
   <a href="<?php bp_member_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php bp_member_name(); ?>"><?php bp_member_avatar(); ?></a>
</div>

Change bp_member_name() to bp_member_user_nicename()

Code related to who’s online goes from line 247 to 390.

– Copy/paste it to bp-custom.php
– change class name to something unique. ie. class My_Whos_Online_Widget extends WP_Widget
– in __construct function, in $name replace (BuddyPress by Custom)
– modify the div content by replacing bp_member_name() by bp_member_user_nicename()

Done !
You have to register the new widget. In bp-custom

function register_my_custom_widget() {
    register_widget( 'My_Whos_Online_Widget' );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'register_my_custom_widget' );

Go to Appearance > Widget and select (Custom) Who’s Online Widget.

Finito ! 🙂

WP codex reference

…euh…read through the code, find some dev comments and try to get further… ?

I tried to answer to your question: only looking to basically take the favorites button and modify the function. Both files contain functions related to “favorite”.

Though it would be more clear to all of us if you explain precisely what you’re trying to achive ? Instead of trying to explain (awkwardly) what you imagine may work, give details about what you try to do and code you used to do that.

You say you create a function you want to add to favorite button. But this button should not favorite something, but either mimic is_span, but without using is_span !!!

Sounds like if you asked for how to make beer, but without water to get a milk flavour.

Please, make explicit questions !

@shubham9,

check Activity auto-refresh in dashboard > Settings > BuddyPress > settings tab.

If it is already done, activate Twenty Fifteen theme and see if the issue is still in.

Hi @zoe-ellison,

the simpliest is to use the language file, even if your site is in english.

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

buddypress.css contains all styles used by BP.

I also use a cache plugin that is not caching for logged in users.

If i understand this correctly, it means that if i visit your site without being logged in, i get a page from the cache, right ? This means logically that you have to be logged in while testing your change. And finally, it could be possible that non logged users see (it’s an example) a black title (cached) and logged-in user see a red title (the most recent, not cached, version of the new style applied to that page). Hum…

When you use a child-theme, and his mandatory style.css, the child has priority over the parent theme, and buddypress.css.

Child theme is the only safe strategy to get your customization without loosing your work at each update. You add to it only what you want to modify. Even if you need to change only 2 title styles.
In your case, you need only a style.css with a rule or two for your titles. You don’t have to add template files.

is it possible to find somewhere already created templates with different color profiles

A template is a structure of different HTML tags and some php code for dynamic content.
A theme is a design applied to this armature.
A content is what is showed inside the structure.
HTML is used to build the structure
CSS is used to build the layout/design
Content is text, images, videos, etc
PHP is a coding language to build dynamic pages between a database and a server.

BuddyPress template files are stored in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress

Unfortunatly for you, the theme is a premium one for which we can’t provide support, as we have no access to his code and can’t install it to test without using a licence.

See theme doc for information about child theming it and other advice for adding custom CSS.

@bfchris2, sorry, the file is here /bp-legacy/buddypress-functions.php

@mangelesgcl,

consider this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/auto-terms-of-service-and-privacy-policy/
and read this plugin support topic:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/buddypress-integration-11?replies=4

Other technique

Create a new page and add your terms of service. Save.
Add a new field to profile Base tab (the one which shows on register page).
Field title: Terms of Service
Field description: by checking this box you agree with our TOS. And a link to the page:
<a href='http://my-site.com/page_name/'>Read our Terms of Services</a> Caution: use single quotes to enclose the url
Field type: checkboxes.
Field option: custom and only one option: TOS ! Leave it unchecked.

On the right of the screen:

Field requirement: required.
Field visibility: only me and check Enforce field visibility

Guess we’re done !

While registering, if the checkbox is not checked, the process will stop and user will be adviced that he omited a field. Once he checked it, he can finish his subscription. This doesn’t mean he read your TOS, but you’re covered if you warned him to read TOS first. And ensure that the link is working and the page exist with content !

Depending your country law, TOS can be more or less regulated. It’s your responsability to get informed about that before using it.

@bfchris2,

take a look here, as a starting point.

Check also in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/buddypress-functions.php:1169 and in /plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-actions.php:436

If you need complementary information about BP code, functions, etc, search here.

@olliecard I would suggest after reading your requirements you could save yourself a good few headaches by considering using Ultimate Member over Buddypress. If I understand what you need correctly, it has a stronger base than BP in this scenario.

For all private social network, but login and register page is available to access.

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_to_login_page_for_premium_members' );
function redirect_to_login_page_for_premium_members() {
  if( (!is_page_template("loginpage.php")) && (!is_user_logged_in()) && (!is_page("Register") )) {
      $page = get_page_by_title( 'Login' );
      wp_redirect(get_permalink($page->ID));
      exit();
  }
}

Restrict buddypress components just for logged-in users:
*UNTESTED

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_to_login_page_for_premium_members' );
function redirect_to_login_page_for_premium_members() {
  if( (is_buddypress()) && (!is_user_logged_in()) ) {
      $page = get_page_by_title( 'Login' );
      wp_redirect(get_permalink($page->ID));
      exit();
  }
}
