@namrons – If you are using the older bp-default theme or a deriviative of the bp-default theme on your other sites, you’ll need to patch bp-default as well.

I’ve added the fix for the bp-default theme here:
https://github.com/buddypress/BP-Default/commit/4a06b494195c681252d27ded0c23ba8296322ec0

Are you already in a reflection stage or already confronted to “a problem” ?

If you have a template you can display content, with conditionnals.
Read here to see what it is on hand for template files:

Template Tag Reference

The patch has not much to do with wp.
Depending of the BP version you use on the old sites, you can use the fix !
Compare the buddypress-functions.php and if you find a line similar to the one alreadyfixed, you can try to use the patch.

Aside it could not work, there is nothing to loose to try!

Hi @lunaya,

activate debug mode in wp-config to get some internal information

And read here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/ning-2-buddypress/
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/ning-import/

Have you setup a page for groups ?
Have you changed the permalinks ?

Configure BuddyPress

A 404 error ? If you copy/paste a wrong url this can happen !

When you create a new page in wordpress, a permalink is automatically created under the title box.
You copy that whole permalink, including http, into the snippet
'link' => 'your permlink', do not remove the coma ! And be carefull when editing code. Use a text editor, not Word !

The snippet give you the possibility to add a page to a profile, and this page use his own template file, as also described.

Don’t copy/paste when you don’t know how to use it and how things are working.
For that you have the codex, where you can learn a bit on how BP is working.
Here about theming.

hi @aghajoon,
don’t jump into old post please !

Much more convenient, would be to use the buddypress notification manager plugin !

Works with 4.0 and bp 2.02

this code work for me but java script not work and when user favorite comment user can’t remove notification help me

@cartographer,
nobody forces the admin to read private messages, except, depending the country, some laws or other regulations. Any other reason to read is a personnal option.

And it is anyway possible by reading the message table in the db.

To disambiguate any further question around this, read the answer of @johnjamesjacoby

@admindirektor,

how do you expect some help if you don’t give the theme name or a site url ?
This is not a buddypres issue, but a wordpress setting affair.

Make the member package page as start page and set buddypress as private or members only.

More about “private” here:
https://buddypress.org/support/tag/private/

@robertne,

installing an extra site just for sharing posts is somehow a big task for… nothing and requires a multisite install. Made it simple ! Share your RSS feed…
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-social-buttons-to-wordpress-rss-feed/

Sorry If i misunderstand you. If the goal is to ADD an external link to your posts, you can create a custom post type for that or simply paste the link into a post.

If this is also not what you want, explain what kind of post, from where and how your members should use a sharing button. Even if BuddyPress doesn’t handle posts, he only shows them.

Also you can read some related forum topics here:
https://buddypress.org/support/tag/share/

@marriagebroker, @bitpath

Here 2 snippets you can use (one or both depending your needs).
Add them to your child-theme functions.php or to bp-custom.php

/* remove "not recently active" */
function bpfr_core_get_last_activity( $last_activity_date, $string ) {
		if ( empty( $last_activity_date ) )
				// we do nothing
				$last_active = '';
			else
				$last_active = sprintf( $string, bp_core_time_since( $last_activity_date ) );
		}
add_filter( 'bp_core_get_last_activity', 'bpfr_core_get_last_activity' );

/* remove whole recently active filter */
function bpfr_remove_last_activity_filter() {
    remove_filter( 'bp_core_get_last_activity', $last_active, $last_activity_date, $string );
}
add_filter( 'bp_core_get_last_activity', 'bpfr_remove_last_activity_filter' );

change the tables prefix !
Check also some index.php firstly, for some encrypted datas, like base64_decode on the first line…

If this matches, you have also to scan your computer.

You can use the wordfence plugin (and de-install if nothing is found)

This one is really efficient against fake registering.

But in any case, this is like carrying water in a sieve or perforated device !

@hkcharlie

please read here:

Other topics related to this subject:

And please don’t jump in old topics, this one relates to gravity form. Open your’s and give details about the issue, used theme, bp version and login plugin if used.

@giggio,

verify that your translation files are in the correct directory.

For bbPress:
wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbp-xx_XX.mo (required)
wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbp-xx_XX.po (option)
where xx is your language

For BuddyPress:
wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-xx_XX.mo (required)
wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-xx_XX.po (option)

FYI: both plugins are shipped with a pot file containing the strings you can translate.
/plugin_name/languages/plugin_name.pot

Don’t put a translation in this folder, as it will be overwritten at each update.

I’m getting it too and have been for a long time now.
This is such an important part of the whole nature of Buddypress, I don’t understand why it appears to be ignored.

>I can also report that the same bug is manifesting in the “My Favorites” and “Mentions” streams in the same way that it does in “My Groups” – only the word “replied” appears.

I cannot replicate those issues.

Re ‘My Groups’: Fixed. Thanks to @r-a-y
See: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5862/5862.01.patch

Hopefully it will make it into 2.1

hi @netsector,

read first the documentation of your theme and anything about theme on the codex, then search the forum.

Additionnally read also here and give at least your theme name.

You obfuscate your pages source code, so it’s difficult to help you anyway.
