BuddyPress.org

Hi,

I’ve made a website using WordPress with Buddypress installed and for some reason when someone posts a link to a webpage on their activity or a group the webpage gets embedded into the feed? Is this standard behavior or a known bug and does anyone know how to resolve it?

I’ve tried resetting the theme to TwentyTwelve as well as plugins besides Buddypress but it still occurs.

I’m also having an issue with the Buddypress Wall plugin which is causing the cover photo for profiles not to appear, if anyone also knows why this might be happening I’d appreciate any help in resolving it.

Thanks

I might be missing something, but I’m confused as to why Buddypress implements nofollow on URL text inputs but not textareas? It basically opens the door to spam. Shouldn’t all links in any field type be nofollow? How can this be implemented so people don’t spam their Bio and other textareas with links?

All throughout my site I have some hidden groups, and if you are a member of them I use the groups_is_user_member snippet to do certain things. For example if you’re a member of the “Verified” group you have a verified icon by your name on profile and in the activity feed.
I’m encountering a problem with that method though and it’s probably out of silly human error.

I am trying to give premium members access to different HTML tags than regular members. I removed this script from the BuddyPress source code and placed it in bp-custom.php. It wasn’t working so I echoed $id and it was 0, so I’m guessing bp-custom.php has no idea user’s are logged in and probably can’t access groups_is_user_member either? It didn’t work when it was in bp-activity/bp-activity-filters.php either.

If I remove the group IF statement I can use all the HTML tags so that isn’t the problem. The problem is that the IF statement has no idea if I’m logged in or a member of the group.

<?php

$id               = get_current_user_id();
$premium_group_id = 13;

function bp_activity_filter_kses($content)
{
    global $allowedtags;

    $activity_allowedtags = $allowedtags;

    if (groups_is_user_member($id, $premium_group_id)) {

        $activity_allowedtags['a']['href']   = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['b']           = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['i']           = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['darkblue']    = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['darkgreen']   = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['darkaqua']    = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['darkred']     = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['darkpurple']  = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['gold']        = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['gray']        = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['darkgray']    = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['blue']        = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['green']       = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['aqua']        = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['red']         = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['lightpurple'] = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['yellow']      = array();
        $activity_allowedtags['a']['href']   = array();

    } else {
        $activity_allowedtags['a']['href'] = array();
    }

    $activity_allowedtags = apply_filters('bp_activity_allowed_tags', $activity_allowedtags);
    return wp_kses($content, $activity_allowedtags);
}
?>

Hi I was wondering if you could help me with the following issue.
I have installed and configured buddypress on my website. It all seems to be working really well, except for one thing. As I understand it, when a user logs into my website, they should be automatically redirected to the page that I chose in the set up (i.e. the log-in welcome page).
Am I right? Well this doesn’t seem to happen on my site.

Can you please let me know if this is indeed a feature of buddypress and if it is help me get it working on my site.
Thanks very much in advance for your help.
Agustin

After updating Buddypress I got this message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_groups_update_meta_cache() in /www/htdocs/wfherman/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/classes/class-bp-groups-group.php on line 988

Any idea what’;s wrong
