BuddyPress.org

@afjsystem confirming issue exists. There’s a trac ticket for this https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5105

@fideldonson no problem

Backup all tables in site’s database and you’re fine. But also check if there’s a bp-custom.php file in wp-content/plugins/ in server, and back that up if there’s one.

You can remove the status update box in different ways. It just depends on whether you’re using a WordPress theme or BP Default child theme.

@valuser better to post this in BP Trac. Not sure that this would be added to core though. It’d be up to the devs. Just curious, BP Activity Plus plugin is not working for you?

@envieme
I can’t recall it but I have seen this issue on the forums before when it dealt with importing members and not respecting the default profile visibility. Maybe a search through the forums will help and if I am not wrong it was resolved so maybe doing a search can help. If not perhaps another volunteer will provide you a better solution. Good luck!

untested:

$activity_action = sprintf( __( '%1$s wroteDD a new post, %2$s, in %3$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int) $post->post_author ), '<a href="' . $post_permalink . '">' . $post->post_title . '</a>', get_the_category_list( ', ', '', $post->ID ) );

@caspergrimaldi
Please give more complete info on your install. You mentioning “The plugin” is a guessing game and most of us can only spare a little time here and there and we don’t have time to ask every user to provide the details they should have provided when they first opened their thread. Most of the threads you see that no one has answered yet is largely because of this. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/
As @hnla has advised you may want to consider hiring a developer. They usually have more advanced knowledge of the things that can be problematic to most novices.

@kubrix
It means you need to assign those pages if you already have them in dashboard/settings/buddypress/pages then use the dropdown menu’s to associate the pages and save. Else you need to create those pages. I would assume those pages are there since you have members so it is just a matter of associating them.

@kenstansmith
A quick search provided all of these related threads. You should be able to find something in one of them that will point you in the right direction.

@eve-oliveri
Also just to reiterate I signed up and activated an account on your site without an issue other than some crummy CSS in the fields and that was with the theme you was using. Maybe you need to clear your browsers cache and cookies.

@eve-oliveri
I can’t speculate what it is but maybe your themes author could help since we now have established it is a theme issue and not a BuddyPress issue.

@eve-oliveri
Follow up, I just registered and activated an account on your site with no issue’s so if another volunteer would be willing to do the same to confirm my findings. Thanks!

@eve-oliveri
Have you tried activating a known theme that works with BuddyPress like Twenty Twelve or bp-default? This has been covered on the forums before on many occasions so do a search for similar topics. If after activating a known theme that works with BuddyPress and you still have an issue then let us know. More than likely your issue is related to your theme.

Have a read of this guide to how BP uses templates in theme compatibility mode and how to overload templates so they can be edited in your theme folder.

I came across the topic of someone asking about 123flashchat by TOPCMM and felt I should share with you what my experience is so that others don’t get caught.

Anyone considering any of TOPCMM software should spend a lot of time asking questions. I lost $1300.00 plus thousands of dollars in advertising, hardware and other software because TOPCMM was never able to make this software work right.

After only a few months of owning it, I started begging for a refund which never came. When they found my review, they said in public that they were happy to offer me a refund but in email, the keep telling me it’s not possible and that will not happen.

Support is almost nonexistent and they will make you nearly crazy with delays. No matter what ticket type you use, low priority or critical, you still will receive the same support no matter what. You might get lucky and someone will respond in a day, maybe two and often, a week. By then, you will have lost many customers and money if you are advertising as I was.

They also take countless holidays and leave you hanging during those and only sales is on staff during weekends. Their forums are useless and they never give any real answers other than ‘give us your login details and we’ll fix it’. This means you’ll never learn about your server and will always be dependent on them, just how they like it.

From what I can tell, they are on their knees after abusing countless customers and their future is unsure. Be very careful!

I could go on and on and would be happy to share more horrors if anyone is considering this software. Just PM me.

Good luck… now… on to more positive things

Same issue here! Does nobody knows how to calculate the buddypress avatar’s filename? I need to access the avatars’s urls to show in an external non-wordpress website the members!
Waiting..

Hey, nit3watch,

I’m running your plugin and there is a formatting problem when sharing to Facebook and Google+ — instead of labeling the post being shared as itself (as it does when sharing to Twitter or email), it labels it as just the members page.

Here is a screenshot of what I’m seeing when I share to Facebook.

I like the idea of a premium version — and I’d pay a lot more than $3.00. But it would have to resolve these types of issues.

Thanks for a great plugin and let me know what you can do about Facebook and Google+.

Rob

So you want to block
yoursite.com/members/
and
yoursite.com/activity/
from users who aren’t admins or editors ?

But allow everyone to view
yoursite.com/members/my-profile?

Then you might try putting a current_user_can conditional directly in the over-ride templates for those two pages.

[there surely is a way to write a function to do this, but it escapes me at the moment]
