BuddyPress.org

If you use Dan’s approach, you want to do it by first making a template overload of the file he links to. And then writing a conditional for the calls to the user link. It will work fine.

Or you can use the filter hook for bp_activity_user_link() and then you don’t need to touch template files. You could write a filter in theme/functions.php – something like:

function imborx_profile_link( $link ) {

   if( $link != bp_loggedin_user_domain() )
       $link = // custom url

   return $link; 
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_user_link', 'imborx_profile_link', 15, 1 );

See template entry.php

Caution: modification are preferably done via child-theme.

BuddyPress and bbPress are different plugins.
bbPress has it own spport forums.
In wp-admin, under Settings, you should links for: BuddyPress, Forums
In wp-admin, in the main nav column, you should see links for: Forums, Topics, Replies
There is no path ‘…/bb-admin’

That plugin completely crashed my site

Ouch!

The developer of that particular plugin is a BuddyPress core developer so if you open an issue on the plugin’s GitHub repo, he should be able to help 🙂

You’d need a plugin for this. Check out BuddyPress Reply By Email.

“when user reply or comment on any post” – when I hear that I think of replying to a post in wordpress language, which is a chrono blog post, and not a ‘static “page” ‘ – however I am going to assume you mean replying in the various comment reply places all throughout buddypress; like activity comments, group updates, etc.

I am confused by what you are saying, but it’s only becuase I have no clue about how any of these things work. I’m still trying to learn php and then going to try to learn how wp and bp actually works – and that looks like it’s gonna take a long time.

However now that you have provided some details I am sure one of the much smarter people around here will be able to guide you in the right direction.

@ajaysingh-1
man – there is post_comment, post_update – and a bunch of others on the hookr io page
http://hookr.io/plugins/buddypress/#index=a

not sure what you mean post button comment section..
hmm.. section on the site-wide activity page?
via private message emails / replies?

hmm.. group replies?

I don’t know anything about the functions and code actually – but hopefully the hookr info will help ya, or this comment will help you detail what exactly you are looking for – so if someone does know about this code they will know more about what you mean..

Hi guys
we are looking for solution to get buddypress notifications work on our theme, we know it will be shown on wordpress’s default top tool bar but we want it to show somewhere else.

We are using WP 4.3 with buddypress 2.3.3, we have added these to theme’s functions.php

function bpfr_add_notification_to_page_title( $title, $original_title, $sep  ) {
	
	//do not change if the user is not logged in
	if( ! is_user_logged_in() )
		return $title;
	
	$user_id = get_current_user_id();//logged in user's id
	
	$count = bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( $user_id );
	
	if( $count > 0 )
		$title = sprintf( "You Have %d New Notification(s) - ", $count );
	
	return $title;
	
	
}
add_filter( 'wp_title', 'bpfr_add_notification_to_page_title', 100, 3 );

then we add these to theme ‘s menu location

<?php echo bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ); ?>

but it is showing nothing, what is the correct steps to make this work please?

thanks

By default, when using BP’s site wide activity component and if user is logged in, you’ll see a Fav/Unfav button under each activity. This means that you can fav/unfav an activity, not directly a post.

To get a similar button near a blog post, you’re no more on the activty page and need to add a separate code. Read from here how to do this. More or less…

WP Favorite plugin is not made to work with BuddyPress, just aside.
Edit: you’re lucky, found this topic how to make it work.

@itslino – yeah I don’t see much about them in there either – the theme docs are a mess here, and non-existent for 2015 theme as well.

There was some site that listed a bunch of wordpress code and buddypress code – searchable and such, but I can’t .. wait I think it’s called hookr.io or something – found it – http://hookr.io/plugins/buddypress/#index=a if you type css in the filter box it limits what is displayed – it may help – but not sure. I have no idea how that works, if it’s up to date, and if all bp styling stuff actually has “css” in it’s tag or whatever.

I guess you could change to 2014 theme and go to each page and right click property inspector and copy the css.. then put that into notepad and search for everything “buddypress” – at least that’s what I have been thinking about doing.. I think there is also some different styles with 2014 and 2015 depending on what screen size you are viewing with – so may hve to check various media queries.. no idea if there is a better way.

I want to make some custom bp themes, but I can’t even get proper docs on working with latest / best coding practices with the wp default themes at the moment. There is some details on thesis.com err.. themeshaper.com – I think that stuff is out of date though –

If you get it figured out I’d love to see some info put together on all this.

have you looked into the codex area?
( https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/ )

I have not yet begun to learn all that, so I can’t tell you anything about it.

Themes and buddypress and me are a challenge to say the least.. especially if you mixin rtmedia plugin.

Only thing I have been able to do is go back to the 2014 theme and try modding that.

With Twenty Fifteen as the theme, and no other plugins enabled, the pages show up entirely blank. I’d really like to be able to use BuddyPress, but right now I don’t see what I can do to fix this.

Is it possibly an issue with the mod_rewrite either not being enabled on the Apache server, or that the .htaccess is missing something that needs to be in there?

Core URL’s avaible on a profile activity page are taylored to go to that user, so it is not possible (at least very complicated) to show whole site activity feed on such page.

But you can modify SWA page to show friends activities as first tab (instead ALL) by default
Eventually in WP reading settings, you choose also Activity page as static Front page.

@shubham9
I have not used this, but I was looking at it yesterday and now thinking about it ->

Facebook Like User Activity Stream for BuddyPress

I imagine you could read up on the latest discussions about parse_Args and such and code this yourself.. I have a good imagination though..

I myself have been considering asking for a way to display both the “profile tab” and the “activity” tab info below that.. with a selectable filter for “Just John Doe” or “John Doe and friends” or something like that.. think that would be cool – and likely not too hard to mashup…

but I’m still learning php, maybe someone else has an idea on how to make that happen with a simple them functions.php mixin .. I already have a think in bp-custom to make the default profile page show the profile tab instead of the defaults.. so the code is here and there around here I guess.

@projectslimited – yeah, welcome to the club! I had one bp site with registration turned off for 18 months.. turned it on to test some thing – hours later – dozens of new “groups” and spam accounts.

My main site I depend on buddypress humanity as main line of defense.. but also add the plugin “good question” (changing the defaults on these two!)

I also use “geo ip block” on all wp sites now. (changing some defaults)

that seems to help 95% – then I got so tired of the manual spammers that I added the apache gep redirect thing from maxmind lite.. and block all visits from Russia, China, Ukraine, and a few others completely.

Saves a ton of bandwidth and server resources – and makes it easier to find the cdir blocks of US and UK ISPs to block via htaccess (none of my web site visitors are using COLO Crossing Transport to visit my site- so all their cidrs eg:
23.94.144.0/20
23.94.144.0 – 23.94.159.255

blocked…

I have been messaging with a wordpress plugin author about modding his plugin that pulls info from failed logins and puts them into iptables – suggesting a few mods that can make that info useful to those of us who do not have access to or want to get into iptables modsec stuff – hopefully those suggestions will come into a new version of that plugin later this year.

with my multi-site setup I use a ‘new blog defaults’ plugin to set any new blogs created to automaticcaly have the noindex setting in wordpress, and noinded nofollow settings from yaost.. so even if one manual spammer gets in and makes blog – it does no good, and does not show up on the radar of the other spammers.

I recently had to block Japan entirely as I started getting daily spam hits from there.. of course each person’s setup will vary – I can’t block all countries on all my sites, so some sites I set the ip geo block to whitelist just one or two.. on other sites I setup a blacklist to block 20 or so..
