BuddyPress.org

@ciumbargi Big avatars at beginning of the stream denote “Major” activities which include new blog post published, new forum topic posted, etc. Small avatars at the beginning of the stream row denote “minor” activities which include joining a group, new friendships, new registrations, etc. So there is a method to distinguish which is which.

If you still want to make those changes, add the following to your stylesheet
<code>.activity-list li.mini .activity-avatar img.avatar,
.activity-list li.mini .activity-avatar img.FB_profile_pic {
height: 50px;
margin-left: 0;
width: 50px;
}</code>

If you’re using browsers like FireFox, Chrome or Safari, right click on the element you want to change, choose “Inspect Element” from the box which shows up and you’ll find the styles you would need to add/change in your  theme.

@investoreports please start a new topic for your issue as it’s quite different from this year-old topic. That plugin is compatible up to BP version 1.5 and has not been updated for current BP version. Also, you can edit status updates in the Activity Stream admin panel https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/configure-buddypress-components/#activity-stream-admin-panel

Closing this.

If the styles you linked to from your old theme are messing up your current theme, then delete them. As mentioned in my second post, the styles you posted might not work in your new theme.

Initial scan of the U-Design theme shows that you only need to create two or three files to make your BP template files compatible with your theme.

@bglclub Please know that we are all volunteers here living in different time zones. What the OP and you have posted requires customization which involves a lot of time which many might not have in abundance.

Know also that there would be instances where you might have to find the solution yourself OR where you have to hire a developer to customize BuddyPress and/or plugin to work together OR follow up and hope that some generous soul who has faced this issue and resolved it would share the information.

@patrykos360 not quite clear. Do you mean you do not want new blog posts to be recorded or show up in Activity Stream?

@daiyoukai Change to BP Default theme and check if the actions for the Group Forums are working or not.

@naturalworldstm it most likely would not be the same. Please create a new topic of your own. Include info about which templatic theme and theme demo url to start off.

Genesis theme framework. … I enabled sitewide forums today.

In other words, you had BuddyPress activated first and you went through the installation process where the default page name and slug of the Group Forums (unless you disabled it during the process) is Forums. The slug/name for your new bbPress sitewide forums page must be different from the slug/name of your Group Forums (Forums). So go to Settings > Forums and change the slug if you haven’t done it yet to e.g. discussions. Then create a new Page discussions and add the bbPress shortcode for forum index e.g.

Don’t know how Genesis Connect works with BP and bbPress since I don’t use the framework. If the above instruction fails, change to BP Default theme to check if issue is resolved.

Check out the plugin wp-members. I have been using it on a family site and it does exactly what you are looking to do. I only just tried it on BuddyPress (CBOX) tonight. It seemed to work ok.

You want something like a closed beta. http://codecanyon.net/item/closed-beta-wordpress-plugin/3395536

The problem with this scenario is the Buddypress sends asks the user for a password, then the user approval generates another. I have been beating my head trying to solve this same problem. I need users to resister without a password, then when they are approved, they get sent a generated password.

use bp-custom for buddypress code. You preserve you edits if you decide to change or update a theme.

Working on Salutation is a mess… and a bit complicated to use.

I suggest you to test your blog with the twenty eleven theme to see if your posts are coming correctly.

After that you have to test with the default layout of salutation.
Normally, BP has nothing to do with posts. It’s WP stuff only.
If posts are not visible it’s probably due to the theme, which is buggy.
Put wpdebug on true in wp-config (sit at the end of the file) to understand what i mean. 😉

hi @faeronsayn,

are you on a single or MS install ?

What theme do you use when BP is deactivated ?

Go to your admin > Pages and delete the register and empty the trash

Do the same if you have a Login page.

Then go to settings > buddypress.

– Tab Component and check the one you want.

– Tab Pages and create a page from there for each component.

Save.

Now BP is correctly configured.

Check also settings > permalinks and choose something other as default.

If you created some custom menus before installing BP, double check them to have the new pages.

Done !

Cool, no worries Paul!

I guess Clayton’s 25,000 entries would have been cleared if the cron job was running on his install though?

Rather than me mucking p this thread though, we can discuss it here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bp_activity_akismet_delete_old_metadata-what-does-this-do/

Any ideas on how to re initiate that cron job wold be very much welcomed!

Cheers mate 🙂

hi,

or you can also add this piece of code to plugins/bp-custom.php

`function remove_public_message_button() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_member_header_actions’,’bp_send_public_message_button’, 20);`

}
add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘remove_public_message_button’ );
