BuddyPress.org

Hi there,

There’s a chance your theme hasn’t updated its templates. In order to have the activity dropdowns populated, please check your templates are up to date see https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/activity-dropdown-filters-in-templates/#use-bp_activity_show_filters-within-your-bp-default-child-theme

Groups are a BuddyPress thing are they not?

I am requesting that the Group Forum selector in the Group Forum Settings in BuddyPress be able to support more than one forum NOT forums supporting multiple groups.

Yes, but BuddyPress doesn’t do anything with the bbPress plugin. bbPress integrates itself into BuddyPress. bbPress handles all the BuddyPress group integration.

What you’re requesting should be a bbPress feature.

Hi @fuzzllc

A way of doing this would be to override the user’s role when they sign up. BuddyPress provides a hook we can use for this bp_core_signup_user. So, you could do something like this:

function fuzzllc_set_default_role( $user_id ) {
    $user = new WP_User( $user_id );
    $user->set_role( 'keymaster' ); // keymaster can be whatever you like
}
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'fuzzllc_set_default_role' );

@browserco,

thank you for your help, but please, don’t give a 4 years old solution without testing it.
At first, the snippet contains cote errors, and second, it doesn’t work with BP 2.x, as things has changed.

You can easily modify your template loop by using bp_parse_args function.

Here a working example (activity-update is commented – uncomment to see the difference)

You simply have to list what to show. Anything not listed will be ignored, on all activity feeds.

Add this to bp-custom.php or child theme functions.php

function my_bp_activities_include_activity_types( $retval ) {
// only allow the following activity types to be shown
    $retval['action'] = array(
     //   'activity_update',
        'activity_comment',
        'new_blog_post',
        'new_blog_comment',
        'friendship_created',
        'created_group',
    );
 
    return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_bp_activities_include_activity_types' );

only a certain level of members, or see members listed by country, that sort of thing

Those two things require different approaches to gathering member ids.

Adding the order option is easy.
But filtering the members will require specific solutions.

Read this:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/adding-new-order-by-on-members-loop/

You can remove default choices by creating a template overload of this file and adjusting the select element:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\index.php

Note that it will default to ‘active’ regardless.

The issue is in the BuddyPress Live Notifications plugin.

You should report the issue and your fix to the plugin authors:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-live-notification

The bbPress plugin integrates into BuddyPress, not the other way around.

So your question is best suited on the bbPress forums:
https://bbpress.org/forums

I can tell you that multiple group forums are not officially supported in bbPress at the moment though.

You’ll want to keep your eye on this ticket:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2191

You’ll probably want to follow this guide:

Twenty Thirteen Theme

The guide is for the twentythirteen theme, but it works as a general guideline with any theme. Replace the references to the twentythirteen theme with your theme and you should be good to go!

Check the Codex documentation, which will guide you on creating a custom buddypress.php page to mirror your themes page.php and in which you could then remove the sidebar from markup.

Read here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/customising-members-loop-pagination-problem/

Where to put the code: bp-custom.php or child-theme’s functions.php

You should ask for this on your premium theme support.
Read first here:

An Introduction To BuddyPress

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/missing-argument-for-bp_modify_page_title-elegant-themes-and-buddypress/

You can place this in your theme/functions.php or in bp-custom.php.

It will stop recording entries for 3 types after you include the function.
You can add other types as desired to the $exclude array.

function steve_dont_save_activity( $activity_object ) {
 
    $exclude = array( 'new_avatar', 'updated_profile', 'friendship_created' );
 
    if( in_array( $activity_object->type, $exclude ) )
        $activity_object->type = false;
 
}
add_action('bp_activity_before_save', 'steve_dont_save_activity', 1, 1 );

To delete existing entries, use the interface here
[yoursite]/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-activity

If you switch to a WP theme like 2013, does the problem persist?
If not, it’s something in your theme.

What are your media settings re images? Are they square?
Here: …/wp-admin/options-media.php

Have you have set any avatar size constants in code?
See: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/guides/customizing-buddypress-avatars/#how-to-change-buddypress-avatar-sizes

BuddyPress templates are stored in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

To customize your theme, create first a child-theme.
In this folder, add a folder called buddypress and copy any file you want to modify into it from /bp-legacy/, by respecting the original path child-theme/buddypress/members/xxx.php or /child/buddypress/activity/xxx.php

More details are avaible on codex.

This phenomenom is normal.

Once a user has registered, he is considered as pending untill he connect and login to the site.

Many user register, receive an activation key and come back a few hours or day later to connect for the first time as site mebers.

That’s why you have 28 entries in the table and 22 on members directory. 6 entries have never connected.

You can follow such members via members admin, under pending list.

You need to install WP at first and make it work correctly before installing BuddyPress.

Refer to WP codex and follow install instruction. At this time, you have no BP installed, so come back once it is done and only if you have an issue.

Getting started is avaible on both codex, and the start begins with WP.

Have a nice day.
