BuddyPress.org

Hope everybody is doing well.
Im having trouble using a plugin. The plugin is by likebtn.com and allows me to sort activity by most liked content. However it requires modifying a bit of code and im having quite the difficult time. I have tried pasting this line of code into a few different files. Currently im trying to paste it into ‘public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-template.php’. When i try to include it into the PHP file the activity page breaks and a syntax error appears saying there was an unexpected ‘<‘ at the top of the new code. Here is where i pasted the code and the instructions provided by likebtn.com

function bp_has_activities( $args = '' ) {
	global $activities_template;

	// Get BuddyPress.
	$bp = buddypress();

	/*
	 * Smart Defaults.
	 */
         //Filtering by Likes.Custom Code.
         <?php query_posts($query_string . '&meta_key=Likes&orderby=meta_value&meta_type=numeric&order=DESC'); ?>
<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    <?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

	// User filtering.
	$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id()
		? bp_displayed_user_id()
		: false;

Hello buddypress lads,

Please help me to get separate pages (or url) for each individual activity components.. I want to stream activity of friends in one page (or url) and activity of groups in another page (or url). That is: 2 separate components in 2 separate pages..

Please help me someone.. I hired someone but he couldn’t do it without sufficient information from the experienced buddypress developer..

Thanks in advance

Hello,
For which tasks (new activity, activity comment, reply on comment etc) BuddyPress sends email notification? And is there anyway so that I can trigger another function(s) to send iOS/Android app push notification so that both email and push notification send?

Regards

I have been racking my brains out trying everything I know of to fix the issue I am having. First off let me say that I have been over a 1000 sites using wordpress so I am well aware of all the tricks to troubleshoot. Not saying i know everything because if I did I would not be here. 😉
Now I have WordPress 4.5.2 (tried upgrading to 4.6 as well at some point on a cloned server)

Running 4.5.2 of wordpress, Avada 4.0.3., BuddyPress 2.6.2

I can add a cover image to the profile and to the groups but it does not appear. There is a button to click to delete the cover for profile and groups and when I click the Delete cover button the screen displays a message that the image was removed. When I upload cover images I can see a rectangular grey background where the image should be yet the image does not show. I then inspect the area where the image should be and I find style that shows the url for the image that should be showing. I take that url and paste it into a browser and I get a 404 message. I then check through cpanel file manager and ftp and see that the images is sitting exactly where the url points to. I tried changing the permissions as well to 777 on everything such as the image and all the sub-directories leading up to the image. Still no display of the covers. Strangely though, if I click on the link in my buddypress navigation called “Media” I see the cover image only on that page/link. No other buddypress nav item, when clicked, shows the cover image for the user. The “Media” link in the buddypress is part of the rtmedia plugin. Of course I disabled that plugin to see if that was causing the cover image not to show but it was not the cause.

At some point disabled every single plugin ever installed except of course the core buddypress plugin. The cover image never displays for either profile or groups.

I then changed the theme from Avada to anyone of the default “Twenty” themes and the same issue, no covers showing.

When I first discovered the issue I was running 4.5.2 of WordPress and Avada 4.0.2. I cloned the entire site and put it onto a new subdomain just to test upgrading the WordPress and Avada. Same issue with no cover images displaying.

I have never been able to display the cover image with this site. It is a development site waiting to go live once I get the issue with the covers showing.

I’m using photos for cover images for BuddyPress groups. The images don’t appear in the media library, so I’m not sure how to set the attribution for the photos. I would be grateful for help with this.

I’m setting up a new BuddyPress site using the Boss theme on WordPress 4.6
