BuddyPress.org

For what it’s worth, I’ve overridden buddypress/activity/post-form.php and basically deleted all the content from that. This *appears* to work on my test site, removing the What’s New field from both the user’s profile and their “group” page.

<?php
/**
 * BuddyPress - Activity Post Form
 *
 * @package BuddyPress
 * @subpackage bp-legacy
 * @version 3.0.0
 *
 */

?>

I’m a little unsure if I should actually have that closing ?>, but it appear to work that way.

Hi @all,
does somebody know what to do if the pages buddypress created are showing only code. Also if I´m logged in as admin they forwarding me to the landingpage. I couldn´t find something to this.

Pleas help me.

@helio …there is no Activities option showing in your menu/toolbar.
Viewed on mobile.
If you want to prevent not-logged-in users from viewing any Buddypress pages, you can use a plugin like “BP Members Only”

Hi everybody

The method that Shane provided, is really good. I am looking to add a similar feature to disable certain groups. I followed this guide and customized it to make a query that will filter out disabled groups. Everything seems to be working fine except the group count inside the timeline. From where can I find and edit the group count??

Use me.

Hi Serena,
I can look and fix errors on your buddypress website.
Please let me know, If still facing the same

Possible options to look at:

– verification email on signup is a must.

– Plugin “BP Restrict Signup By Email Domain” ….lets you restrict new signups to gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc. Will prevent 99% of spam-bot registrations (eg. s.p.a.m.m.e.r. at spambot dot xyz).

– Plugin “BP Registration Options” …holds all new signups in a moderation queue until manual approval by admin, during which time they can’t interact with Buddypress components (and I assume cannot create new groups).

Just some suggestions.

As I have not managed to code something that works to identify my specific group, I did a bit of lateral thinking and my code looks to see whether or not a “group_mod” is present in a group and (if not) the Join/Hide button is hidden, like the case of group_admins, when only one is present. I can live with it for now, as I just have to make sure that all other groups have at least one Moderator set, then they work as normal.

It works fine for me, using BuddyPress Version 10.4.0, under WordPress 6.0.2 and a modified “Wellness Pro Version: 1.1.4” child theme under Genesis Framework Version: 3.3.5.

I hope it helps, unless and until some kind BuddyPress dev comes in with a proper solution!

Seems I wrote too much? I will post in two parts:

Hi @hcmendez, I am trying to do exactly the same thing myself and found the post your referenced, which was now made 10 years ago! I have developed a staging test site for a Radio Club, where registration is disabled and all user accounts will be set up for the users. There are 3 levels of membership: member, editor and admin – each with separate user roles. I have a group called “ROC Members” which all levels of membership are in and I do not want them to have the ability to leave (so want to remove the Join/Leave Button from this group (I can manage members from WP backend).

After some experimentation, I have found a rather poor “workaround”, by adding an extra ‘if’ statement to the code in plugins -> buddypress -> bp-groups -> bp-groups-template.php (where the extra code above is from), which is far from ideal as it can get overwritten on buddypress update.

Try a slightly earlier version of Buddypress.
Go to WordPress plugins repository, find Buddypress page, select Advanced View for earlier versions.
