Ok. Do some research on conflicting Java scripts. You may have to take the same code and rewrite it a different way so the codes don’t conflict.. I’m not sure how well you understand java. Also. Go into the config.php in the WordPress and turn on the debugging mode and click the load more button.. You might be able to get an idea of what’s going on if the debugging gives it to you.. Also what’s the site address?

Hi @yadigit

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.. Actually I’m aware of the code in global.js file & I changed the number of shown comments to 2 instead of the default (5) but this is not my problem.

I’ll describe the problem in more details:
After changing the number to 2 in global.js file, comments appear on the activity stream just as I want (2 shown comments & the rest are hidden) but when I click on “Load More” buttom, the comments of the newly loaded activity updates are shown totally (no hidden comments).

So what could the problem be? 🙁

@amalsh I’ve never really had a problem with it. Yet again the code listed above was ment for an older version on bp and WP.. It sounds like a conflicting Java or Ajax that could cause the problem. Now the question is, does it do it to every single one or just the ones loaded afew clicking load more.. If its just happening to the ones that is loaded after clicking load more I would follow the code from where the button is and find out how the code is getting loaded.. If I recall it just loops the entry.php file.. I haven’t played with bp for a while but I’ll love to help. Best thing to do is to follow the load more code and find out what its doing.. I’m pretty sure it deals with Java or Ajax.. Probably Ajax (I don’t have the files to look at them).. If the button is powered by Ajax try turning it into a regular html like but don’t have it reload the page..

after saying all that I just remembered that you don’t have to use the code at all.. I believe it has it built into it already… Inside golbal.js there is a code tords the button where it will hide the comments if they exceed more then 5.. Your best bet is to find that code and change the 5 to a 2 or even a 0 if you like.. I’d search for it inside .js files before editing the .php files and doing what I said before. If you have any problems with it just let me know and I’ll pull up old files and locate it for you

@apellicone By default, any member, down to suscriber level (default BP role) can create groups if you do not disable it in Settings > BuddyPress > Settings https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/configuring-components-v1-6/#settings-buddypress-settings If you deactivate the Members plugin, can regular members create groups?

@ted_myers By default, there is one BuddyPress instance in a multisite installation. So even if you enable multiblog, while you can now have e.g. subdomain.example.com/members in your install, what you can post to and see there is that of BP in the main site.

If you want to have multiple instances of BuddyPress in your Multisite installation, there are two available plugins for that
1. ​https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/
and
2. ​http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/

thanks @mercime

just added a demo of it :

@ubernaut

Many thanks ubernaut.
I will take a look and let you know how it works out.
I really appreciate you giving me some new direction. 🙂
Have a great day!

Hi @yadigit,

Thanks for the solution! I have a question maybe you can help me with:
When “loading more” activity stream, hiding comments doesn’t work i.e. all comments for activity updates appear which is not lovely!
Why is that happening? How to fix this?

Thank a lot
Hope

hmm well the behavior you are experiencing is not normal behavior as you can tell by the fact your test site works. it may be that you’re going to have to hire someone who knows more then either of us to fix it. i have a similar problem that developed and is not reproducible (at least not as far as i’m aware):

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/my-join-group-button-is-acting-funny/

if the problem isn’t in the files then i would suspect its some kind of database thing i suspect you have a similar issue.

@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

Mike.
