BuddyPress.org

@r-a-y, thanks for this as it works great! To @Robcwright and others interested, I know it’s an old thread but have found this change will make it only do this for public groups or groups where you are a member and private groups will no longer redirect but keep the default setup. I put both in bp-custom.php and that seems to work great with a variety of child themes. If you want any other modifications for other cases I haven’t tried, just mention me in the reply and I’ll take a look when I can.

`
function redirect_to_forum() {
global $bp;
$path = clean_url( $_SERVER );
$path = apply_filters( ‘bp_uri’, $path );
if ( bp_is_group_home() && strpos( $path, $bp->bp_options_nav ) === false ) {
if ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member || $bp->groups->current_group->status == ‘public’) {
bp_core_redirect( $path . $bp->bp_options_nav . ‘/’ );
}
}
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘redirect_to_forum’ );

function my_bp_groups_forum_first_tab() {
global $bp;
if ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member || $bp->groups->current_group->status == ‘public’) {
$bp->bp_options_nav = ’50’;
$bp->bp_options_nav = ‘Activity’;
}
}
add_action(‘wp’, ‘my_bp_groups_forum_first_tab’);

that change is to a theme file – did your theme update as well? (or is it a child theme?)

@intimez – Just checked Private Messages for Friends Only and the plugin still works fine on BP 1.2.6.

BP 1.2.6 made some changes to the way buttons are rendered.

If you modified the member header in your child theme, you’ll need to look at the changes made to /members/single/member-header.php and apply them.

In order…
-Depends what you mean, but this is a built in featured to BP
-This is pretty much a requirement for BP. Although, you can choose how big or small you want the profiles to be
-Groups in BP should satisfy this. You can make them public, hidden or private.
-This is a widget in the default BP theme
-Just turn it on in the BP settings
-There are a couple picture plugins. One that’s paid that’s pretty good from BuddyDev.com Another one that’s getting really close called BP Media. They have a version available now, but it’s basic. In a month? or so it will have even more features.
-These can just be added to your theme anywhere that you think would be good.

So, pretty much everything but the pictures is available by default with BP. The pictures need the plugin.

“activity private” – was just a general thought if you’d added a plugin or other custom code.

As I said before, without detailed info about your configuration, and your theme – it’s going to be difficult for anyone to help you on this one.

Does it only affect one user, or more than one?

Can you simulate it on one machine / browser – i.e. try activity for 2 users – do they both work?

It’s highly unlikely that it’s a bug in the activity stream – hundreds / thousands of sites run the BuddyPress activity stream without problem.

It’s almost certainly something wrong in your bespoke theme / bp-custom.php file.

Have you changed the theme since the second person carried out their activity? Does it show in the main site activity stream? Have you installed some privacy plugins, or has the member specified that their activity is private? Is the site hidden from search engines?

It’s impossible to provide much more help without a lot more information about your site configuration and the details of your theme code.
