BuddyPress.org

@verteus This functionality is already included in buddypress: in _inc -> global.js change the number in the following 2 lines:
1- if ( jq(this).children(‘ul’).children(‘li’).length < 5 )
2- if ( i < comment_lis.length – 5 )

In this way the latest 5 comments will be shown and a link “show all comments” will appear above comments. Of course this will happen when number of comments is above 5 (change the number to what you want).

“so i have not encountered any problems with wsl with bp and if there is its pretty much manageable via the settings. but it would be epic if wsl will be officially be compatible with bp.”

@ubernaut

Thx ubernaul.

Yes I did and still the same lack of functionality as described in my post.

@ubernaut
Thanks for responding.

As I said above that’s what baffles me. I’m using the same Artisteer theme on both my test site and main site. I started out with 1.6.2 on my test site and everything works fine.

On my main site I have no comments/activity stream functionality. So I did a fresh install of 1.6.2 and applied the patches as suggested above and still nothing. I even went into cpanel and tried copying my test site BP files as well as my theme template files over to my main site and still no go.

Then I updated to 1.6.3. no luck and I’m not sure a 1.6.4 install will help.

Like I said, I’m using the same Artisteer theme and 1.6.2 works fine in the test site but not in the main. Is it possible that I have a plugin conflict if so I can’t identify it.

I appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

@imath thank you. Will check this out tonight.

@patrykos360 check if your theme has a full-width page template and post the code in pastebin.com
e.g. full-width.php or page-fullwidth.php or template-fullwidth.php etc.

Is this a new installation? Did you go through the Installation Wizard?

Check Settings > BuddyPress > Pages. Is a Page assigned to Registration??

Have you tried re-uploading BuddyPress manually, i.e. via s/FTP or similar?

here’s another plugin made by @imath which can help to wipe oup defect/unwanted/sleeping users.
https://github.com/imath/bp-wake-up-sleepers
Still in Beta but works good on 3.5.1/1.6.4

After some more research, it appears this is a known bug that is listed as “WON’T FIX” :

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4525

Not too clear about what they mean in the last comment by: “Closing as wontfix, as theme compat will enable us to fix this easier if it comes up again.”

but it would seem that the core team have no interest in fixing this.  Has anyone else found any solutions to offer them?

@kpolkson – did you find a solution? 

If so, would you please share what solved it for you?

Sorry, Forgot to mention the versions.

WP: 3.4.2
BP: 1.6.1

Hi there… I’ve racked my brain over a very similar issue. I’m wondering if you had any luck finding the answer?

This is what I’m seeing.

1). From what I can tell (I used shared hosting), the Centos Linux box that hosts my site has the date/time set correctly.

I asked them to issue the date command and send the result. What they provided was the result when logging into the box via SSH. i.e. “Sun Jan 27 10:45:24 CST 2013”. The server is hosted somewhere in the CST timezone, and the date/time was correct at the time this info was sent.

2). I am in the EST time zone. My WP general/settings/timezone is set to Montreal.

3). When I publish a WP Post (for example) everything is fine. The “published on” date/time is correct (in local / EST / Montreal time). In fact, everything to do with straight WP date/time related handling is fine. BuddyPress is a different story!

4). BuddyPress: When someone sends a private message, the time on the received email is one hour behind. I assume this can be explained by the CST server time and the EST timezone I’ve chosen in WP Settings/General/timezone. I can live with this – Or could change the timezone to the server timezone (chicago / CST).

This is where it gets interesting.

5). BuddyPress: When somebody creates or adds to a topic in BuddyPress Group Forum, the date/time is also correct. i.e. “username said n seconds ago” is 1 second after the update is made. OK.. But, the corresponding Activity entry shows 5 hours and 1 second ago. i.e. 5 hours in the past!

Looking at the Activity Table record via phpMyAdmin, the date is stored in GMT (i.e. + 5 hours as I am in EST).

Looking at the Topics Table record via phpyMyAdmin, the date is exactly the same – i.e. stored in GMT.

So, when the forum topic is displayed, it’s doing a proper conversion from GMT to local time (-5), but the Activity Stream page seems to be doing the conversion twice, and I end up with -10 hours from the stored time in GMT.

6). BuddyPress: Of course, when somebody just posts something to the activity stream, it always shows up as “username said 5 hours and n seconds ago” also. i.e. a -10 conversion from the stored db time which is in GMT.

7). BuddyPress: Finally, when looking at the Activity via WP Admin, the date/time on each entry is straight out of the DB – i.e. GMT time – No local time conversion at all!

So in Summary:

Server setting for date/time is ok
Straight WP handling of date/time is ok
date/time is stored at the DB in GMT in all cases
date/time is converted properly based on timezone for the BuddyPress Group forum topic itself (-5)
date/time seems to be converted twice (-10) for the corresponding BuddyPress Activity Stream record as seen by the end user
date/time is not converted at all when viewed via WP Admin. i.e. it is straight GMT

If anybody can make sense of what’s going on, I’d really appreciate it! I’ve looked through everything I can find and just cant figure this out.

Best regards,
Mike.

NOTE: Maybe it’s not good that I added to this post? It’s a similar problem, but not exactly the same. I can create a new post if that’s best.

Ok, I tried reverting back to 1.6.3 and 1.6.2, but to no avail either. I had made back ups prior to each upgrade and what I did to revert was to delete the contents of my current buddypress folder and upload previous versions. I cleaned the cache, but still no submenus.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Hey @skittles, I’m also having the same problem with my submenus. They all just disappeared after updating WP and BP.

@enquirer32 Did you try deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress to see if issue is resolved? What theme are you using?

@derek-melo deactivate BuddyPress. Create a network (multisite) and make sure it’s working (create a subsite) before activating BuddyPress.

If BP FriendPress does this

BP FriendPress is a BuddyPress plugin by Shawn38 that makes BuddyPress specific pages private so logged out users cannot view BP pages making more of a private community.

I think (but it hasn’t been updated for long time) https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-buddypress/ this could work.

Now I’m using it as it and it’s working for me.
