BuddyPress.org

Can anyone PLEASE explain how to get this link back?

The create group link is in line 21 of this file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.7.2/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/index.php – you might have deleted that in your child theme’s /group/index.php

I would love this as well but i need a more detailed explanation of how to disable it.
Thanks!

I have tried different themes, and they also duplicate the content, including 2012

@floorplanonline We’ve tested BuddyPress extensively with Twenty Twelve and there’s no duplicate content. Deactivate plugins except BP batch by batch to identify which plugin is causing the issue.

@ubernaut: No problem, thank you very much. At least you tried to help. 🙂

not sure what to tell you sorry not very strong with the php

@ubernaut: yes, I did the same with the said parameters all correct, as I am using frisco theme then I can do the same thing by putting the code in function-custom.php. First I tried the bp-custom.php (placed in plugin folder) option , that didn’t worked out for me, so I tried the later, but that didn’t worked either. 🙁

the file is supposed to be called bp-custom

@ubernaut: Thank you again for your prompt response, I tried this earlier but it this one is also not working, if I am not wrong then it must be the code provided on Brajesh Singh’s blog, buddydev. I am using Frisco Child theme for Buddypress, I tried placing both the codes in function-custom.php and as mentioned in plugins folder as well,but didn’t succeeded. :-(. Please help, what to do. I need to make the website live.

i’m not using that one i’m using this one:

<?php

//hide superadmin

add_action("plugins_loaded","bpdev_init_sm_mode");
function bpdev_init_sm_mode(){
if(is_site_admin())
remove_action("wp_head","bp_core_record_activity"); //id SM is on, remove the record activity hook
}

?>

thats where bugs feature suggestions and the like are kept track of:

@ubernaut: Thank you very much for your response, What information do I need to provide you to check what is the issue ?

I made a new file with the name bp-custom.php with this code

<?php
// Code for: Don’t record activity by the site admins or show them as recently active
function my_admin_stealth_mode(){
if ( is_site_admin() ) {
global $bp;
remove_action(’wp_head’,’bp_core_record_activity’);
delete_user_meta($bp->loggedin_user->id, ’last_activity’);
}
}
add_action(’init’,’my_admin_stealth_mode’);
//Code for: Don’t record activity for a user or show them as recently active
function my_user_stealth_mode(){
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
if(is_user_logged_in()) {
if(’admin’ == $current_user->user_login) {
remove_action(’wp_head’,’bp_core_record_activity’);
delete_user_meta($current_user->ID, ’last_activity’);
}
}
}
add_action(’init’,’my_user_stealth_mode’);
?>

and placed it in plugin folder of the wp installation. It is not giving any error but admin activity is showing in the activity. One more thing I need to know, whether it will remove previous activity as well or not ? and do I need to change the account name to admin ?
Thanks a ton in advance.

something must be off on your code cause the code definitely works.

@igny no not yet, the theme is still a little buggy, hard to make it work flawless if you costumize it that heavily, will let you know if I release the theme.

@umagokhale: hello, was wondering for last few days about the same, till now no luck. The code you provided is not working on my page. The page is not live yet so can not provide the link.

Hello, anyone there? Still have the duplicate content issue. I have tried different themes, and they also duplicate the content, including 2012. The only one that does not is Yukon and that has built in buddypress support. Even in the admin under Dashboard it has Welcome to Buddypress showing twice.

@web503 confirmed bug and posted ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5014

@mjbenzon is that theme available anywhere? I would love to use that.

@lorimercer re groups in admin area the issue is being addressed in trac starting with this ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4977

@caspergrimaldi have you tried deactivating plugins (I see a lot activated in your site) one by one on your site to check which one is conflicting with BuddyPress?

@secuip glad you resolved the issue on your own 🙂
Tip: next time, it would be better if you created a new topic for your issue so that it could be seen right away.

but I can’t get the “Create Group” button to show

@gebgem the page title is missing as well. Looking at the Sample Page of your site, there was no page title added to the theme’s page.php file at all.

BuddyPress will provide another link/way for users to easily create a group/blog via user account menu in admin/toolbar in next version https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7062 but the page title issue should be fixed by theme developer.

It’s just not a core issue with BuddyPress and dives into the customization of BP. Unless someone has specifically needed to do this in the past no one will be likely to help you.

I would either put out a call to hire if you can not get it to work or possible post at woo or try something like http://stackoverflow.com

It really shouldn’t be that hard. Create a cpt loop on the front page of the group and then where you call the post type return the group name that matches the cpt

$cpt = some code to get the group name
$args = array( 'post_type' => $cpt, 'posts_per_page' => 10 );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
	the_title();
	echo '<div class="entry-content">';
	the_content();
	echo '</div>';
endwhile;

@patrykos360 Your users have to log in at least once after BuddyPress is activated
