WP/BP versions? Change to bp-default theme to check if it’s an issue with your custom theme. If that’s not the case, then deactivate plugins except BuddyPress to check if it’s a plugin conflict.

Thanks for confirming the ímportance of this topic. I really cannot understand why BP does not even seem to want to look into it.

I would be happy even with a core / bp-custom hack, not necessary a plugin.
SOMETHING to help solve it!

And no matter how much I looked and tried to get this done, nothing worked so far!

BP Team , PLEASE HELP US solve this!

Thanks!

if you put it in bp-custom crashes the site, if you try it in functions does not produce any changes.
so no merge whatsoever unfortunately

Would be great if this would be doable somehow

I am also having this problem. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance:

I’m running wp 3.2.1, on main directory in root, using bp version 1.5.1that was never upgraded. I have no other plugins activated on the subdomain I’m running buddypress from. I’m using the standard bp theme that came with the plugin for this and I modified my wp-config to allow bp to run on subdomain (runs on members.mysite.com): here’s the info in bp-custom.php
`<?php

Wiredtree is my server provider (I have a dedicated server with all access), and I’m running Linux w/ Apache

I recall reading somewhere that one of the plugins you have activated, buddystream, is messing up with activity page. Change to bp-default theme and deactivate buddystream and see if same behavior applies. If you have bp-custom.php in your plugins folder, rename it in the meantime.

I know this is an old topic, but its in the top results of Google when trying to find a solution for this.

So, to help save other people time (who land on this page when Google’ing this situation) here’s the fastest fix I’ve come across so far.

Create a file called “bp_custom.php”.

In it add:

function bbg_change_tabs() {

global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav = ‘New Profile Verbiage’;
$bp->bp_nav = ‘New Activity Verbiage’;
$bp->bp_nav = ‘New Friends Verbiage’;
$bp->bp_nav = ‘New Groups Verbiage’;
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_tabs’, 999 );

Replace the “New W/e Verbiage” with what you want it to say.
Double check that BuddyPress forums didn’t change any foot marks to apostrophes.
Save bp_custom.php and upload the file to /wp-contents/plugins/

Refresh your page to see if it worked.

So far it works for me just fine.

Sure. Use Twenty Eleven’s custom menu to place links that you want in main navigation.
Appearance > Menus

I’m using the walled garden technique for some privacy and have adapted it for bp 1.5.* !

This is based on https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/members-privacy-how-can-i-hide-members-profiles?topic_page=2&num=15#post-102784 and needs to go in a bp-custom.php file…

`
function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;
if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) || bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) )
return;

if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( bp_get_signup_page() );
}
add_action( ‘wp_loaded’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );
`
Originally add action was to get_header but now the bp template loads the header first so I had to move it…

Before that one had to put a hook into the page template header to load the function – not sure which would now be best or if that hook is ok to use (It’s the only one i found that worked)?

The above function hides members and activity from those not logged in but enables forums and groups for everyone – see variation here

I created a custom post type and comments posted on those pages does not appear in the activity stream. Any ideas on how to include them?

Using BP 1.5.

Thanks

To debug, try disabling any custom code snippets or plugins that interfere with the activity stream.

LiIttle something i learned as a newb.
Activate your forum next thing you’ll want to do is then go to your settings you’ll see forums on the bottom

You’ll see archive slug and Single Slugs rename in the forum base and then in the forum slug below aswell. Because forum actually conflicts with the sitewide forum. let’s say name your sitewide forum bulletin board or support. The group forum natively is the forum on the header menu. Which you can later rename..

Now you want to make a topic go to topic in the forums. Click you’ll see “all forums” and “new forum”
I would click new forums, here you name a topic of interest. let’s say general discussion name your topic and below give a basic Description(optional).

Now you want to save it you’ll then see a link look at the link copy it. but only copy

http://www.example.com/support

Next thing you’ll need to do which is the final step. Go to the appearance section. You’ll see menu which is you site navigation menu. You’ll have a few things you have to do here.

First make sure you make a custom menu or which now the main theme allows you to or you can make a custom menu name.

look at the section on the top left corner a drop-down you click whichever theme is named or you select as your menu save .
Now go down to custom links remember that link you copied earlier(http://www.example.com/support) paste it in there and name it click add to menu.

Now you have a list you can now rearrange move or even create a drop-down menu on. What i did have activity /members /group and with forums i renamed that “group forum directory” moved that slightly to the right which creates a Drop-down, then the site wide forum which i named support or whatever you want to call it. Now save. DONE!!

Go to your site homepage and everything should be there. Best of luck!!

hi! I’m having the same problem using the theme Custom Community, which plugin was making conflict for you? thx for the help!

Buddypress 1.5 new patch is a nightmare. I cannot see my activity, members or groups. I feel so low. I think we might need to revert to the previous version. I cannot access even my dashboard. They changed the colour of the header to lighter blue after many people might have customised the rest of the pages to match. What they should have done is put in another section for lighter blue so that you have the choice to change it. It is very stressful after putting in a lot of work and hours. They really need to investigate Buddypress thoroughly before releasing the patch

@modemlooper Did you all ready got this working because i need a custom group homepage

with out a activity stream just plane text or a image banner

Are you using a custom theme, child theme or bp-default theme?

@gregfielding – Hi! I’m running into similar problems. I defined a seperate loop (for announcements, more important than other updtaes) to be displayed on the top of the page. But when I add an update in the ‘normal’ loop, the same update is also added to the custom loop on top, even though it doesn’t match the filter set to that loop.

Did you manage to solve your problem? Is it a case of making sure all IDs and Classes are different, so AJAX call doesn’t reach the custom loop? Any help or pointers would be highly appreciated!
