We have a site that we are converting to buddypress (from standard WP Install). We have over 1K users, most of which have published posts.
Non of these old posts are showing up on the new buddypress profiles. How do we import all of those show they show up on our users buddypress profile pages?
Thanks guys, unfortunately I dont know how to access buddypress/activity/index.php
Can you point me in the right direction on that? I know the functions.php in edit theme, but how do I access all the files to I can change them. Im hosted by godaddy, can I find this in my WP admin console or is ti somewhere with godaddy? Sorry for the newbie question 🙂
Both snippets are working. If really not for you, double-check that bp-custom.php is correctly using open/close php tags and if your theme doesn’t use some custom rss functions.
To remove the All members button :
remove line 19 in buddypress/activity/index.php from within your child theme.
<li class="selected" id="activity-all"><a href="<?php bp_activity_directory_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'The public activity for everyone on this site.', 'buddypress' ); ?>"><?php printf( __( 'All Members <span>%s</span>', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_total_member_count() ); ?></a></li>
and add class='selected' to the li containing friends item
If you remove the feeds display using the snippet, people won’t see anything even if they know the page url. And if this is not satisfying for you, you can write a rewrite rule to add to htaccess.
Yes, probably will require some custom code.
Use the Group Extension API and one of the Google Map APIs.

Untested but place the below code in bp-custom.php
function bp_help_redirect_to_members_page(){
if( !is_user_logged_in() && !bp_is_register_page() && !bp_is_activation_page() ) {
bp_core_redirect( get_option('home') . '/members/' );
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'bp_help_redirect_to_members_page',1);
Good luck!
Try this to remove ALL activity feeds
function bpfr_hide_rss_feeds() {
remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed' );
remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_personal_feed' );
remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_friends_feed' );
remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_my_groups_feed' );
remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_mentions_feed' );
remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_favorites_feed' );
remove_action( 'groups_action_group_feed', 'groups_action_group_feed' );
}
add_action('init', 'bpfr_hide_rss_feeds');
This snippet will only show logged in users friends activities (on all activity pages of the site)
function bpfr_filtering_activity( $retval ) {
$retval['scope'] = 'friends';
return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'bpfr_filtering_activity' );
Add to bp-custom.php or child-theme functions.php
More details about this on Codex
I tried following to codex to change the default tab and it’s not working. I tried changing wp-config and also making bp-custom in wp-content/plugins but neither of them are successful. I should specify I want users to land on a special tab called events created by event manager.
Change Default Members Profile Landing Tab
I am having this issue on two separate sites. I have completely removed BuddyPress and installed a fresh copy from the BP website to both sites and this issue is still happening. Is there anyone that is having this same issue that can help me out? One of my sites has about 50-100 registrations per a day and I can not keep manually activating them.
Thanks,

Hello guys. I’m newbie to wordpress. I want to create a social networking site using wp.
In which members of one group can share their locations via Google maps. can I do this task through buddypress ??
Hello,
Just finishing up my site (WordPress Version 4.1.1, Buddypress 2.2.1) @ http://www.124connect.com and was hoping to find out a way to redirect new members to the “members” page after activation. Currently it sends them to my home page which, the way I have things set up, would be a bit disorienting to those wanting to use the social platform.
What path do I need to take in Cpanel (if I can’t do this on the frontend) and lines do I need to modify to direct new members to http://www.124connect.com/members after activating their account?
Thanks a bunch for your help!
There should be a way to hide all members activity feed, most of us dont want that, we just want friends activity. Im truly surprised there is no option for that on buddypress, and I was not able to find a solution, one thread which was asking for the same thing was close without providing a solution.
How can I disable members activity feed and hid sitename/activity/feed page from public so they cant see it by typing that in.
Thanks in advance!
I wanted to see if anybody else has a solution to this. The https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-global-search/ plugin is great, but it takes over the entire search function, including wordpress. I was hoping for a plugin that only searches buddy press activity feeds, and separately for each group. Thanks…
It just open the edit-profile page and in it there is this code [wppb-edit-profile]. If you click “Identificate” in my site you will understand it better.
About plugins i have a lot but no one for buddypress yet. Anyway i just check them and it seems that this is not the problem.
Thanks for your time!
P.D: If there is a short code to “login page” and you know which it is I think i can solve the problem.
Hi
Hoping someone here could help me with this. On Facebook you get to stream the songs you listen to on spotify on the wall, like “”User” listened to “Song” By “Artist”” would anyone know of a way to do the same with the buddypress activity stream and link the two accounts?
Thanks!
hi!!
When i try to log in (IdentifĂcate from top bar) the website change to edit-profile page!. I think that it is a problem from new version of Buddypress but I am a noob.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks you!!
Hmm, I guess you can use shortcodes in a page specifically meant for a specific group and make the url of that page your Activity url in the menu.
For example, using Brajesh’s codes
Add a new page
Paste in that shortcode [activity-stream object=groups primary_id=2]
See this links
BuddyPress Activity Shortcode: Embed BuddyPress Activities anywhere

Thanks
Please use the code button when posting code.
The codex has the information you need.
Try:
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . '&object=groups&primary_id=31' ) ) : ?>
http://www.cometchat.com/buddypress-chat says
Friends List Synchronization
Automatic friends list are created for your users with the CometChat bar. All online users are displayed when there is no friends system on your website.
Is Friends component enabled and an user who is logged into chat has enough friends?
I have no idea, but this is what came at the top of my mind. Thanks.
Hi @rosyteddy
That’s related to WordPress rather than BuddyPress. Something you may be interested in if you have lots of ideas for WordPress is WordPress Ideas. Ideas get voted for so the popular ones ‘bubble’ to the top so to speak.
Hope this helps.
I have installed buddypress and comet chat on wordpress site. Now both are running but I want the people to communicate with others only if they are friends through buddypress. or in other words the people should only be able to see and communicate with their friends. Right now everyone can chat with everyother user and all ther users are visible. Please guide me on this because my client want this functionality badly … here is my site url http://www.sketchfam.com
Thanks.
This seems to be a continuous problem for buddypress users and its a problem that crops up ALOT on these forums maybe there should be a sticky thread about this css button issue people are having with various themes and installs? It might stop this same question being asked over and over again by new users? I know it does not happen to everyone but it does happen on quite alot of themes and alot of people are confused how to initially fix this issue.
@rosyteddy can i ask you a question? do you live on these forums? hehe. I thought i spent enough time knocking around here haha.
@kissui after a brief search for you i came across this i aint sure if this can help about the resize issue you have http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26581807/how-to-prevent-a-specific-animate-from-running-via-a-seperate-jquery-script
