Try this: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/loops-reference/the-activity-stream-loop/#filtering-examples

Copy the activity-loop.php file into your child theme and then update line 18 with the settings that suit you using the guide in the link to help.

so the moderator user role is actually a function of bbpress not buddypress so you may have more luck on that forum than here but have you run the the bbpress repair scripts?

Regarding your original question:

Is there a way to redirect to forum from “Join Group” button please.

The code you’ve posted here won’t perform a redirect; instead, it filters the default groups tab. I would imagine you’d also need a redirect put in place (which might explain why you see no change when you add the code snippet).

Try finding the BuddyPress redirect and check if it’s removable. remove_action() might be handy in this situation, depending on how the redirect is coded.

Ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_action

Check the @ isn’t being added by your theme. If it is, then you can use the Template Hierarchy to override the relevant templates.

You’ll need to roll back your:

• files and folders (just delete the BuddyPress plugin and install version 2.3.3)
• database (do you keep backups?)

Note: You’ll need to do both. That said, your current database may still work if no changes have been made to the schema since 2.3.3. But proceed with caution and before you start anything back up everything!

Avoid editing core files and you should be fine. Instead, put your functions and code snippets in a bp-custom.php file or your child theme’s functions.php.

Also, check out the Template Hierarchy article for info on template editing.

@theexchangemarket please see the following thread

This is actually a significant problem for running BuddyPress with MemberPress, because MemberPress (and I’m guessing a lot of ecommerce plugins) require a First Name and Last Name for checkout. I don’t understand why BuddyPress doesn’t just update WP’s “Display name publicly as” field and leave alone the first/last fields. It seems very common in a social network for individuals to want to use a handle rather than their full name.

Maybe it’s an easy thing, but I am really confused. Please advise me.

Well, if it’s easy we’re both dummies cuz I find it extremely confusing myself.

Take the template for a single members profile page as an example.

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/home.php

is to be copied and renamed to your theme, but first you have to rename it to index.php for some reason. like this..

/wp-content/themes/THEMEFOLDER/buddypress/members/single/index.php

Or this one which I forget is to either view the inbox or a message thread..

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/messages/single/view.php

would change to..

/wp-content/themes/THEMEFOLDER/buddypress/members/single/index-action-view.php

Some template files are turned into ‘actions’, some are to be ‘components’, some files get renamed, some names stay the same but go in different folders than the bp-legacy structure, and so on.

Here’s a page that can sort of help make sense of it..

Template Hierarchy

Unless you are explictly using the bp-default theme as your Theme,
always use these templates bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

Re your current activity/index file in your child theme – use the index.php from the bp-legacy location and move any changes you want into that file.

@alonsotron all you will need to do is create blank pages with the same names and then in settings for buddypress associate the pages with register and activate action in the Pages tab of settings.
