Hi Rishraj,

I ran into the same issue this week and I have resolved it on my end. If you’re having the same issue, I hope this helps you.

My exact issue:
* My scenario: WordPress + buddypress, trying to log on from the main page through the Buddypress default theme sidebar login.
* When served off local machine with Xampp: Works
* When served off professionally hosted remote server: Doesn’t work (408 timeout). However, login directly through wp-login.php did work

Solution:
In bp-themes\bp-default\sidebar.php, you will see the code:`<?php do_action( 'bp_sidebar_login_form' ); ?>
<input type=”submit” name=”wp-submit” id=”sidebar-wp-submit” value=”<?php _e( 'Log In', 'buddypress' ); ?>” tabindex=”100″ />`

Swap these two lines:`<input type=”submit” name=”wp-submit” id=”sidebar-wp-submit” value=”<?php _e( 'Log In', 'buddypress' ); ?>” tabindex=”100″ />
<?php do_action( 'bp_sidebar_login_form' ); ?>`

What I did:
I used firebug to compare the HTTP POST messages being sent when I log in through the sidebar or directly through wp-login.php. The only difference I saw between the two was:

Sidebar login order of parameters (broken): login, password, redirect, wp-submit, testcookie
wp-login.php login order of parameters: login, password, wp-submit, redirect, testcookie

I don’t know why they’re swapped in the sidebar code. I also don’t know how or why swapping them could result in working in some environments and timing out in others. Can anyone else chime in here?

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.
