Update from the Trac ticket
BuddyPress uses a different hook name, but it should do the same thing. Try: bp_embed_oembed_html.
Thanks to @r-a-y for the info.
Change your theme ? Adjust CSS ? Ask the theme author ! It is not a BuddyPress issue.
When you don’t see a button, first thing to do is to ensure you see it when you use WP+BP+Twenty theme
When the base trio works, you activate your theme and you check again. If it is wrong, you know it is your theme (and not WP or BP or Twenty theme).
If you have plugins, you test’em the same way.
For what is related here, it is a CSS issue, related to your theme… You probably have to adjust the div height containing the form.
The Update form used for Site, Members and Group activities is in
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/post-form.php
In this file you can see the div’s name, class, ID. Search for them in your theme style.css.
DEpendingwhat you find or not, you declare (or redeclare the css) in your child theme. Note also that the update is handled by Javascript. This means in particular that you need absolutely to use same div id and classes to get it to work. If your theme is too customized and is changing that, you have to find the difference and adjust it/them eventually.
Of course this adjustment vary from one theme to another and it is quite impossible to give you more guidance on how to handle that.
I have a buddypress site built 4 years ago, and am using BP Group Hierarchy plugin. We updated the theme recently to https://seventhqueen.com/themes/kleo/ and buddypress to 2.7. All good, only the BP plugin, because its not been udates for 3 years works… but does not let new sub groups appear in the sub groups. So… does not work. So, what are my optoins? Dump the plugin and use a different one? I can’t find an alternative to BP Group Hierarchy plugin. Why its not built into the lastest versoin on Buddypress I don’t know. So is the only way to do it is to get my developer to write code and update the plugin? I have 1000s of groups and 10s of thousands of members http://www.workingtraveller.com/skills so hard to not igrnore the problem.
Any ideas on how to make it work, or alternative plugins that will deal with the problem?
If you use standard buddypress css, you have nothing to do. but if you have create an folder buddypress/css/buddypress.css within your childtheme folder, you have to define some css styles.

Hello.
I have Woffice theme with BuddyPress.
Site:http://mykenz.info
New registered users (on site registered form) can not add any posts in NEWSFEED.
They have message “there was a problem posting your update please try again”
But users with Facebook have permission to add posts.
Help please.
Hi,
please read the woocommerce documentation. BuddyPress doesn’t use an “order” tab.
Read here BP’s navigation documentation:
Navigation API
Hi, I using buddypress & woocomerce plugin.
If I going to my profile menu, I can see the tab menu
profile / friends / products / orders / reviews
Here, I want remove the orders tab.
How do I fix?
The logout link is created on ~Line 84 of this file:
buddypress\bp-core\classes\class-bp-core-login-widget.php
You need to change the bp_get_requested_url() to site_url()
<a class="logout" href="<?php echo wp_logout_url( bp_get_requested_url() ); ?>">
However, hacking core files is not recommended.
The proper approach is to create your own widget and make the changes in your widget.
If you decide to write your own widget, also take a look at this file:
buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-widgets.php
i want to know how to redirect all the notification of buddy press for a specific url , not the default url like site.com/memberes/id-user/notification-id/…. because when i click on a specific notification i get only empty page .thks
I’m looking for a plugin that will add a simple “like button” for topic replies (that must work within buddypress group forums), but am having no luck on that front without paying for a plugin. This one is the only one I’ve found that works, but the free version only allows 1 button per page. https://wordpress.org/plugins/likebtn-like-button/
Does anyone know of any other plugins that can accomplish this, or any other solutions?
How can I disable post update for members? I don’t want members on my site to be able to post their own. I am the only one who can post on the forum. Please help. Thank you
Wordpress – Version 4.7
BuddyPress – Version 2.7.3
Theme – Beat Mix Lite
I looked into this a while ago. I don’t know if any plugins have provided it — if so, the code will be hacky — because achieving this requires changing some data storage we do in BuddyPress, which is a bit of a complicated issue to resolve well.
The situation is BuddyPress is incompatible with PHP 7.1 as things stand. One issue means a fix in BuddyPress (which we’ve already fixed, and will have out in a release soon, but probably after Christmas), and the other issue I’ve found (which BP sites have a realistic site of running into) require a fix in WordPress, which I hope that team will get done for WP 4.7.1.
Can you please let me know if there is any way to stop template notices such as “Friendship Requested” when I click on “Add Friend” icon on Buddypress avatar hover plugin(https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/bp-avatar-hover/)?
Also, is it possible to stop template notice when someone click on “Cancel Friendship”.
Thank you.
Hi,
BuddyPress is a swissknife, when used out of the box, does a lot of things. But like a swissknife, you have to choose the knife or the tool you need precisely at the moment M. And like with the famous knife, you have to do this manually.
Filtering the general activity.
There is a default filter with several options,
You can modify the activity loop display via the template,
You can write some functions for more customization.
This is pretty much for a component, and almost available for all BP components. Not exactly what you could qualify as “not built-in”… But you’re right, it is not “ready to use” via a “clickodrome” or a press’n’play customizer (not yet).
If you search the forum, yo’ll find a lot of related topics, and some with working snippets.
On the codex, you have also many information. Ie. :
Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops
Activity dropdown filters in templates
Hi,
It would be interesting to know why [your] developer told [you] that [your] site will not be able to manage more than 70,000 users.
Why precisely 70,000 ?
As @venutius already told you, there is no physical limit. And if you have the necessary cash to buy storage and bandwith, go ahead!
A common example for a large site running BuddyPress, is profiles.wordpress.org mentioned by lead dev John James Jacoby (in 2012). It is still the case in 2016.

1) please don’t shout! (i changed your capitalized title)
2) Global Advices is not used in BuddyPress
Thanks for the reply.
BuddyPress + WordPress will work well when there are 500,000 users?
It is important to know before, otherwise I see already now an alternative route.
What important customizations you talking about? I’ve already been working on reducing CPU consumption etc.
Is there any simple way to filter the activity feed. Long time ago I must have used the abandoned BuddyPress Block Activity Stream Types.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/
For me one of the absolute downsides with Buddypress is it seems impossible to filter the activity feed in a simple way like a built in feature or a plugin (I’ve googled a lot and cannot find any).
I cannot be the only one who is setting up a community where the users won’t care who is befriending who etc. they would just want the latest scoop from the site in the activity flow. Any ideas of simple solutions?
Why isn’t this feature built in to the core? For me personally that would skyrocket Buddypress to a complete new level 😀
BuddyPress has sites with more users so there is no physical limit, however the number of users a particular installation can support is due to a large number of factors including that actual usage profile of each of those users and how you have chosen t host your install. It’s true that the larger sites often have had to undertake some pretty significant customisations in order to support such a large user base.
Hello,
my developer told me that my site will not be able to manage more than 70,000 users.
He says wordpress + BuddyPress have the user limits because there would be many calls to the database.
All this is true? Because if it were true I have “ruined”
Noticed my “blogs activity” is not ordering by last posted.. or last logged in..
first noticed that a blog showed on page two with “active 2 years 2 months ago” under the title.. even if a secondary user on a multi-user blog had added a new post.
now I find that even if the main blog creator / main admin for that multi-site blog has logged in – it doesn’t change that display either – even after they make a new post. There is the latest post showing on the right; under ‘visit site’ button – but the blog is still showing up on page two of the results and it says “active 2 years, 2 months ago”
everyone else seeing this with a multi-site setup?

I checked in tools -> buddypress to see if there was a ‘click to recount for multi site blogs activity’ but nothing there. what makes that thing fire and update when it’s supposed to?

You can modify the pagination (example – not tested). BP use the wordpress function paginate_link()
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/paginate_links
Sorry, but you’re on a very specific wordpress plugin support. It is not the place for such basic question (what are the short codes). BuddyPress doesn’t provide shortcodes.
This plugin is not common, and not the most easiest to use. The forum is maintained by volonteers, and unfortunately not by profesional teachers. If you are very new to BuddyPress, and apparently to WordPress too, you have to do your homework.
You can get starter information on both codex. For BuddyPress you get access to appropriate documentation via the above menu bar.
For WordPress, and specifically your question, click here.
Thank you for your understanding.
