No offense, but your code is a real mess.
And you should be using wpdb instead of mysql_query.
Please consider hiring a developer. You can post a job here.

Your code is garbled and missing the href. Try this:

add_filter('bp_blogs_activity_new_post_action', 'record_cpt_activity_action', 1, 3);
function record_cpt_activity_action( $activity_action,  $post, $post_permalink ) { 

   if( $post->post_type == 'projects' ) {
	$activity_action  = sprintf( __( '%1$s created a new Project, %2$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int) $post->post_author ), '<a href="' . $post_permalink . '">' . $post->post_title . '</a>' );
   }
	
   return $activity_action;
}

@hnla you’re right, it could be more robust. I’ve added a conditional check to test if the messages component is active.

function send_message_to_new_member( $user_id, $key, $user ) {

    if ( ! bp_is_active( 'messages' ) )
        return;

    $args = array(
        'sender_id' => 1,
        'thread_id' => false,
        'recipients' => $user_id,
        'subject' => 'Hello new user',
        'content' => 'Welcome to the site',
        'date_sent' => bp_core_current_time()
    );

    $result = messages_new_message( $args );
}
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'send_message_to_new_member', 3 );

I think editing the codex is off-limits to the masses right now, although you may have access? See here.

Needs to be done, especially if this means a stronger team that produces wicked updates and maintain a strong trustworthy codex.

Thanks for being Buddypress.

@mmaccou you should always check the BuddyPress documentation for things like this as well as third party sites.

In this instance the required item is not perhaps that obvious to find, so I’m considering a version of the page slightly re-written and added under our ‘Administrators’ section.

Filters & Constants Reference

Hi @mmaccou,

The place in the functions.php has no importance. You can also use bp-custom.php to be independant of your theme.
That said, the tip (published 2010) you tried is no more accurate for BP 2.x and/or bbPress.

Try this one instead:

/* deactivate @mention - BP 2.0+ & bbpress */

add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' ); // BP only
add_filter( 'bbp_find_mentions', '__return_false' ); //bbPress only

I just ionstalled BuddyPress on a Server without different Port

What does this mean? Im having the same problem and i dont understant what “without different port” means?

PLEASE help

THANK YOU

I was looking for something similar, only I want to put in a description on my registration page. Just a paragraph explaining a couple of things at the registration page. I can’t believe that this would be a plugin not a feature with buddypress. If this is operator error (which I think is most likely) then please tell me how to do this.

Thanks,

It wouldn’t be BuddyPress documentation you’d need, rather, WordPress documentation. Take a look at the articles on user meta, specifically look at the get_user_meta() and update_user_meta() functions.

The general idea would be to increment a user’s share count each time something is shared by that user.

Glad it worked.
Unless you’re explicitly using the BP default theme, you should use the templates from here:
buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress

[yeah, it’s not intuitive]

@mika909 – I do not think anyone at the buddypress forums is going to help you with this. When trying to get a particular plugin to work with BP it is best to read the instructions with that plugin ( wordpress . org/plugins/paid-memberships-pro/faq/ )

or ask in the support forums for said plugin ( https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/paid-memberships-pro )

Although the FAQ for this plugin links to the premium plugin site – which basically says figure it out on your own.. or register there free to get access to extra documentation, or pay $297 to get extra help and up to one hour of consultation / help in setting this plugin up.

This is really not a buddypress how to / troubleshooting thing. If there is a way to mark this thread as resolved you should do that.

If you select “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” in WP – Settings – Readings then bbpress new topics and replies won’t be shown in Buddypress Activity.

just fyi – if selected, it will also prevent blog comments from showing up in the activity stream.

@navinachettri this is not a BuddyPress issue and more like a theme issue. Please check if the issue is resolved if you change to the Twenty Fourteen theme. If it is, then do post at the theme author’s site.

@dshirac following are the only BP Widgets https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/buddypress-widgets/ Perhaps you mean a feature with another theme or plugin?

Sounds possible… probably have to hire on some custom coding help though. I am not aware of anything out of the box or plugin wise that will do searching by distance with zip codes.

The other stuff you mentioned can probably be pieced together with plugins from various places – may need some tweaks to get things to work as you describe – which will take some extra coding mercenary expenses I think.

I am not an expert on all the various plugins, and couldn’t begin to tell you how much coding help would be needed. You can create a buddypress site pretty cheap to play with it and then see how many modifications you would need to get what you are going after.

@yanner11 – did you disable all plugins and switch themes and see if buddypress works?
Not sure all the plugins you are using.. but sometimes disabling them all, then re-enabling them after enabling buddypress will fix things… but if you do not know if it is a plugin or theme thing – you are kind of flying blind.

I would do the disable as outlined above and see if it works without the theme, or maybe you will find that enabling plugins one by one there is a particular plugin that is causing the issue.

With some plugins in my experience after an update there may be the need to go to your permalinks settings, change permalinks to a different setup, save. Then change permalinks back to your original setup and save again.

In most if you run through these steps your issue will be resolved.

deactivate all your plugins, switch to twenty twelve theme. reactivate buddypress pluing. Check if your groups work.

If so – then reactivate plugins one by one and see if it still works.

If it works with all your plugins and twenty twelve theme then it is your custom community theme.

Hope that helps…

I used a plugin called WordPress User Frontend Pro and their Buddypress addon. I also used this plugin to create new User Roles “Capability Manager Enhanced”

You should.
And – btw – this is the BuddyPress forum.
Your question is better suited to the bbPress forum.
