Theme Compatibility & Template Files

Try asking the theme author to add BuddyPress support. It’s easy for themes to support BuddyPress ever since the template hierarchy went live in BP 1.7.

The member filtering isn’t going to work like that by default. You’d need to write some code, though I think it’d work.

The bigger question for you is to decide how you want the BuddyPress/social data to behave across all these sites. You either want to activate BuddyPress network-wide in WordPress, or consider enabling multiblog mode: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/bp_enable_multiblog/

Try this (the second function adds the course title):

function customize_page_tracking_args() {
    if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
        return;
    }
     add_post_type_support( 'sfwd-courses', 'buddypress-activity' );
 
 
    bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'sfwd-courses', array(
        'action_id'                         => 'new_sfwd-courses',
        'bp_activity_admin_filter'          => __( 'Published a new course', 'custom-textdomain' ),
        'bp_activity_front_filter'          => __( 'Course', 'custom-textdomain' ),
        'bp_activity_new_post'              => __( '%1$s wrote a new course, <a href="%2$s">[Course]</a>', 'custom-textdomain' ),
        'bp_activity_new_post_ms'           => __( '%1$s wrote a new course, <a href="%2$s">[Course]</a>, on the site %3$s', 'custom-textdomain' ),
        'contexts'                          => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
        'comment_action_id'                 => 'new_sfwd-courses_comment',
        'bp_activity_comments_admin_filter' => __( 'Commented on a course', 'custom-textdomain' ),
        'bp_activity_comments_front_filter' => __( 'Course Comments', 'custom-textdomain' ),
        'bp_activity_new_comment'           => __( '%1$s commented on a <a href="%2$s">Course</a>', 'custom-textdomain' ),
        'bp_activity_new_comment_ms'        => __( '%1$s commented on a <a href="%2$s">Course</a>, on the site %3$s', 'custom-textdomain' ),
        'position'                          => 100,
    ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'customize_page_tracking_args', 1000 );

function new_sfwd-courses_include_post_type_title( $action, $activity ) {
	if ( empty( $activity->id ) ) {
		return $action;
	}

	if ( 'new_sfwd-courses' != $activity->type ) {
		return $action;
	}

	preg_match_all( '/<a.*?>([^>]*)<\/a>/', $action, $matches );

	if ( empty( $matches[1][1] ) || '[Course]' != $matches[1][1] ) {
		return $action;
	}

	$post_type_title = bp_activity_get_meta( $activity->id, 'post_title' );

	if ( empty( $post_type_title ) ) {

		switch_to_blog( $activity->item_id );

		$post_type_title = get_post_field( 'post_title', $activity->secondary_item_id );

		// We have a title save it in activity meta to avoid switching blogs too much
		if ( ! empty( $post_type_title ) ) {
			bp_activity_update_meta( $activity->id, 'post_title', $post_type_title );
		}

		restore_current_blog();
	}

	return str_replace( $matches[1][1], esc_html( $post_type_title ), $action );
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_custom_post_type_post_action', 'new_sfwd-courses_include_post_type_title', 10, 2 );

BuddyPress Follow is one of the best. No need to worry about security or performance when using that plugin; @r-a-y will have your back 🙂

you need to hire a developer for the facebook part of your requirements…rest all is doable by buddypress

Sounds like you’re using a theme that’s stopping this or when you publish a post you have it set to private.

It’s more for WordPress forums given posts are a WordPress feature and not a BuddyPress one.

Look at your theme files, index.php and look for anything that looks like it’s making those posts only accessible to logged in users. Something like is_user_logged_in().

I am the author of the BuddyPress Follow plugin. I can assure you that there is no tracking or data stealing in the code.

The login page is not handled by BuddyPress.

Please post your issue on the WordPress support forums:

It’s most likely a plugin conflict somewhere.

@vitamincee – Luckily for you, some other people were experiencing the same problem with HHVM.

Let me know if the patch works for you.
