<cite>does my text need single quotes?</cite>no ! The text is outside the php part.

But you have to modify the quotes to single quotes when you copy/paste from here. Simply see how other code is written in the file.

If your site went blank  it’s because you leave a empty line at the end of the functions.php probably.

If you paste my code at the end of the file, } must be the last line of it.

FYI functions.php doesn’t close with ?> as usual php files.

You must also use a text editor as notepad (and save as text – ANSI without BOM) or better notepad++ to edit php files, but never Word or something like this. Or at least the WP file editor….

@diondeville You’re welcome 🙂

@tarkham can’t quite get what you mean.
>> bbPress slug = sitewide forums = discussions right? So example.com/discussions
>> So if you kept the slug of group forums = forums, then example.com/forums
Why would you redirect the URL of either to another?

@chouf1 and @mercime, thanks for your replies, but I think I need more specific instructions. In both cases I put the code at the bottom of the functions.php file and in both cases my site went totally blank. Where/how do I add the filter.

@chouf1, does my text need single quotes?

Thanks so much for your patience.

To expand the whitelist, you can do it. Read here how:

I don’t understand the difference between users and members. We have thousands of spam users and it’s not possible to mark them as spam either when we delete them. It feels like they have a negative effect on our site, but maybe I can just leave them there?

as of bp-groups-loader.php:147 you can use from within bp-custom.php

`define(``'BP_DISABLE_AUTO_GROUP_JOIN'``,true);`

hi @talha8877,

i think the answer is in bp-friends/bp-friends-templatetags.php:145

You’re right @modemlooper !Sorry…
Though i tried several times before posting, but now it works. Huh ! 🙄

Thank you @modemlooper,
the code is ok, but it will work only on the first field group.
It would be better to have this “information” on a custom field group.

You’ve posted this in https://buddypress.org/support/topic/removing-primary-display-name-profile-field/ so I’m going to close this thread.

oh i figured she was just talking about as an update. That code you have there is pretty cool @modemlooper would that work with any oEmbed or just youtube? you know me and code but it looks like it would work with any oEmbed. Also is that something which would be placed inside bp-custom? BTW i like your site design.

I wrote you a code sample: http://modemlooper.me/allow-youtube-embed-in-buddypress-profile-fields/

@mercime

You’re welcome !! Many thanks to you for your precious help in debugging the plugin 🙂

@imath Tested latest version and it’s good to go! Many thanks 🙂

@limitx3m The BP group forums will be merged into the bbPress sitewide forums in upcoming BP 1.7. Please hold off conversion to group forums at this time.

@nylarosie The file to put under /plugins is bp-custom.php not bp-custom-php.

@chouf1 Thank you. I have tried this method in the past but it didn’t work. Placed the function in my child theme’s functions.php and in bp-custom.php but neither bore fruit. Will try again. Maybe I had a mistake the function I used.

@aaclayton To find out why those entries weren’t being deleted by wp-cron on a daily basis, if you install the lightweight plugin wp-cron dashboard, you will be able to see the cron jobs in the dashboard.

Check if you have the cron job bp_activity_akismet_delete_old_metadata listed.

See if the plugin has a tick next to it or a cross saying ‘no action exists’. This is what I am seeing at the moment, and I’m not sure if it’s BP or something else at fault.

Regardless that those queries were being created even when you had them turned off, they still should have been cleared out daily by that cron job.

Let me know what you see.

Cheers 🙂

have you correctly installed BP ?

If you use only the BP’s profile component, somewhere it’s like using a hammer to kill flies. 🙂

You’re welcome 🙂 Marking this as resolved.

Hi,

Mashant was mentionned yesterday by @imath as a pretty good dev’s ressource at WORDCAMP PARIS 2013 !
