You should never edit the core bp files!

Have you checked that, if necessary, all your plugins are updated to be compatible with bp 1.7

According to buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-1-7-is-now-available-2/page/2/#post-161513 a similar error message was caused by an un-updated plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-followers/ ?

Adding link to ticket for convenience:

Also the temp fix is probably better placed in bp-custom.php rather than functions.php so it is applicable to BP generically rather than by theme activated.

I’m looking forward to the 1.8 fix for this as I’ve been dealing with this issue for several years now.
I just upgraded to Buddypress 1.7 from 1.2 and I’m trying to set up my site so that I’m customizing it the correct way instead of editing theme files and core files. Fear of losing my customizations is what has kept me from upgrading.
My users complained that they wanted to see the actual date and time in the Activity stream, and they also wanted to know the time zone. It would be nice if we had an easy way to show the actual date and time instead of the “time since”.
I am able to get around this problem by doing the following (which may or may not be the best way to approach it):
1. Under Settings General I have my time set for New York (eastern time).
2. I created a functions.php file and put it in my customized buddypress default theme.
3. In the functions.php file I added the following function and filter:

function format_activity_date() {
  $activityDate=bp_get_activity_date_recorded();
  // Get GMT offset from root blog
  $root_blog_offset = get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, 'gmt_offset' );
  // Calculate offset time
  $time_offset = $time + ( $root_blog_offset * 3600 );
  // Format the time using the offset and return it; date-i18n retrieves the date in localized format
  return '' . date_i18n("l, M j, Y, g:ia T", strtotime($activityDate) + $time_offset) . '';
}
add_filter('bp_activity_time_since', 'format_activity_date');

I wish I could say I completely understand why this works. I hope it’s still showing the correct time when we go off daylight savings time in the fall.

BuddyPress 1.7 does work with most themes providing they have standard wordpress template structures. There really is no way I see for BP to be compatible with every template scheme out there. There is plenty of free themes on wordpress.org that work fine with BP.

Done, thanks.
Yes it’s the theme as private community works with default BP.

Not really sure how that helps me though. I’ve gone through 6-7 premium themes now trying to get BP to work how it should and 3 of those are since BP1.7 was launched with it’s claims of working with any theme (it blatantly doesn’t).

I think i’m just going to give up with it before i have a breakdown to be honest.

Okay but if its the theme and you invest a lot of time testing plugins and none of them work because of the theme then your back at square one. I suggest activating the bp-default theme, then activating the private community plugin, then log out and click the nav links to see if the problem persists. It only takes maybe 2 minutes to check.

Very possibly but i’m not skilled enough to check, i have limited experience in all this so have to rely on plugins.

It’s this theme > maestro

I’ll keep trying anyway, there’s membership/role plugins i can try i guess.

@fpats
Have you considered maybe its your theme overriding the functions of both these plugins? What theme are you using?

Neither work i’m afraid, not for us anyway.

I’ve activated private community but can still access BP when not logged in.
I’ve activated private buddypress but no tab is added to our settings page so it can’t be configured.

Someone please shoot me.

thanks anyway, i’ll keep trying.

@mttwill87 Send me an e-mail at espellcaste@gmail.com so that we can talk about it.

The log in widget has also disappeared. Could it be a temporary solution for the recent forced password log ins?

How do we contact you?

@sarathbabu_k,

technically it is possible to make bp group documents and buddydrive working together. But you have to do it yourself. BuddyPres Docs is working with BP 1.7 (https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs), BP Group Documents was developped for BP 1.5 and a later version was able to work with 1.6.x. This is version is no more usable with 1.7, unless someone wants to update it.

But don’t expect that buddydrive will comme with more features. He’s intended to stay simple and used as a file MANAGER, not to became one day a file EDITOR

Depends on if it requires a little wordpress and bp customization but you can try here:

BP Jobs Board

Just remember BP is a wordpress plugin and it requires wordpress to work. Good luck!

Be specific in what your requirements are. List your budget, and as much info you can.

Have you tried:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddyplug/

Double check. This only happens if a BuddyPress component is added. A theme can add components.
