hi @michaelhpdx,

maybe these posts will help you ?

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/my-conditional-tags-are-not-being-respected-in-genesis/
https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/canonical/

Or maybe this snippet (intended for WP SEO at least) which removes canonical

function bpfr_wpseo_canonical_exclude( $canonical ) {
  global $bp;
  if ( function_exists( 'buddypress') && ( buddypress()->displayed_user->id || buddypress()->current_component ) ) {
    $canonical = false;
  }
  return $canonical;
}
add_filter( 'wpseo_canonical', 'bpfr_wpseo_canonical_exclude' );

Hi @mocmocmk

A popular plugin to manage media seems to be rtMedia. I think you can display a gallery with the [rtmedia_gallery] shortcode

Try this one

/**
 * Fix wpseo title
 */
add_filter('wpseo_title', 'buddypress_wpseo_title');

function buddypress_wpseo_title($title) {
    $wpseo = WPSEO_Frontend::get_instance();
    $separator = $wpseo->options['separator'];

    $separator_options = array(
        'sc-dash' => '-',
        'sc-ndash' => '–',
        'sc-mdash' => '—',
        'sc-middot' => '·',
        'sc-bull' => '•',
        'sc-star' => '*',
        'sc-smstar' => '⋆',
        'sc-pipe' => '|',
        'sc-tilde' => '~',
        'sc-laquo' => '«',
        'sc-raquo' => '»',
        'sc-lt' => '<',
        'sc-gt' => '>',
    );

    if (array_key_exists($separator, $separator_options)) {
        $separator = $separator_options[$separator];
    }
    $bp = buddypress();
    if (bp_is_user()) {
        $title = bp_get_displayed_user_fullname() . ' | ' . ucfirst($bp->current_component);
    } elseif (bp_is_group()) {
        $title = bp_get_current_group_name() . ' | ' . $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug][bp_current_action()]['name'];
    }

    return $title . ' ' . $separator . ' ' . get_bloginfo();
}

>I had already worked out that ‘component_id’ => buddypress()->activity->id was wrong

No it’s not wrong, buddypress()->activity->id == ‘activity’, in replacing it with a hardcoded string you could possibly cause issues if activities id did change, where it will cause issues is if BP isn’t loaded then buddypress() will fail, a hardcoded value is safer in that respect.

>but it’s interesting to find that the source of the problem was that the codex example was (and still is, btw) hooking into the wrong action.

Again it’s not necessarily hooking into wrong action ‘bp_init’ does work, I used it recently on a register_post_type where issues arose on BP update as init ran before bp had re-activated, although that later priority may have solved that one.

So the reference to codex entry still being wrong is debatable, possibly it ought to be updated, and on that score the codex like the rest of the BP project is all volunteer work and any member has the ability to add, update codex pages if they see somethings wrong

Please don’t double post.

@numumar in wp-admin Appearance > Menus, click on the “Screen Options” tab located under the admin toolbar. A panel will drop down. Check “BuddyPress” in the Show on Screen section.

I’ve posted a thread on Google Webmaster Tools forum in case it’s an issue with the sitemap rather than buddypress, but our search engine rankings have dropped dramatically since we installed the new Buddypress-powered site. (Hopefully we can fix this without moving away from Buddypress, but it’s such a key issue to us that we may move away from it if it can’t be resolved.)

The way I see it it’s either…

1. An inherent issue with using Buddypress
2. An issue with the members profile template (part of the custom theme)
3. An issue with the sitemap

Hi @prometheus-fire

I wrote a reply to a similar question not long ago.

Hi @verdon,

Background

consider this and this

Can BuddyPress Profiles (Members) set-up and associate listings

Read here

Can BuddyPress have a professional look and feel?

Visit biowebspin.com

You didn’t read the Codex ! bp-custom.php

Do you omitted opening and closing php tags ?

Hi @ksmithlondon,

the add friend button on members directory or profile header is styled here
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/css/buddypress.css
line 761

The class=”friendship-button not_friends add” is not used by CSS.

The class name comes up in:
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-friends/bp-friends-template.php between line 352 > 410

and is also used in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.js:1211

Next time instead of looking and looking and looking, simply search. And use the appropriate tools which will do this for you 😉

Firebug and Notepad++ in this case, taked me less than 5mn. 😉

The code works with BP 2.2
and will better work when in bp-custom.php.
Also don’t forget to logout as site admin before testing it or you will continue to see you ! 😉

Please read here, it’s better explained.

The example given on Codex is related to ‘page’, and you want to show something on ‘activity’.

Instead of 'component_id' => buddypress()->activity->id,
use 'component_id' => 'activity',
and instead of
add_action( 'bp_init', 'customize_page_tracking_args' );
use init with a very late priority
add_action( 'init', 'customize_page_tracking_args', 999 );

Pfuiiiiii, taked me a while to find this.

Here a working example of a CPT called Music and how to get it in the SWA

// allow tracking of our CPT
add_post_type_support( 'music', 'buddypress-activity' );

// creating the dropdown filter on activity and members page
function customize_page_tracking_args() {
    // Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
    if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
        return;
    }
 
    bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'music', array(
        'component_id'             => 'activity', // unique ID
        'action_id'                => 'new_music', // new_$post_type where new_ is mandatory
        'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'Published a new music', 'text-domain' ),
        'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Music', 'text-domain' ),
			'contexts'                 => array( 'activity', 'member' ), // swa & member activity page
			'activity_comment'         => true,
			'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s posted a new <a href="%2$s">Music</a>', 'text-domain' ),
			'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s posted a new <a href="%2$s">Music</a>, on the site %3$s', 'text-domain' ),
			'position'                 => 100,
    ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'customize_page_tracking_args', 999 );

// creating the CPT
function bpfr_create_post_type() {
  register_post_type( 'music',
    array(
      'labels' => array(
        'name' => __( 'Music', 'text-domain' ),
        'singular_name' => __( 'Music', 'text-domain' )
      ),
      'public' => true,
      'has_archive' => true,
    )
  );
}
add_action( 'init', 'bpfr_create_post_type' );

FYI, i added the mentionned topic to the Codex page. Would probably help more than one. 😉

Not sure if that code still works but you could place it in bp-custom.php:

bp-custom.php

or in your themes functions.php
