I have perused the forums and have only found some very old topics on how to disable the newsfeed for sitewide activity. I placed the following code in my functions.php but if I go to the link, the newsfeed is still there.
function bp_remove_feeds() { remove_action( 'wp', 'bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed', 3 ); remove_action( 'wp', 'bp_activity_action_personal_feed', 3 ); remove_action( 'wp', 'bp_activity_action_friends_feed', 3 ); remove_action( 'wp', 'bp_activity_action_my_groups_feed', 3 ); remove_action( 'wp', 'bp_activity_action_mentions_feed', 3 ); remove_action( 'wp', 'bp_activity_action_favorites_feed', 3 ); remove_action( 'wp', 'groups_action_group_feed', 3 ); } add_action('init', 'bp_remove_feeds');I have my site as a private community so having the newsfeed readily available to anyone who knows all they have to type in is /activity/feed is not very secure for my members. Any help on how to get rid of it would be greatly appreciated.

How to remove the field @username from buddypress member profiles?
I would like the username to be private.
Anyone help please..
Hi everyone,
i’m using bbpress (2.4.1) and buddypress (1.8.1).
When trying to create a forum for a group, as a user (not administrator), it lets me mark the adding a forum to group box, but when trying to go see the forum, it says: This group does not currently have a forum.When logging in as administrator and going to that same forum, it works well.
This only happens when a user creates a PRIVATE group. When creating a public one, everything works well.
Anyone has any idea what could cause this problem?
Thank you 🙂
Currently our WP website is working as expected, we have a number of groups public, private, hidden. Only users with permission to view these groups can.
The problem comes when we want to give administrative rights to allow individuals to manage specific groups (only the ones they are members of!). Whilst the rights work as expected, they appear to loosely defined and have the consequence of allowing group admins to view activity threads on the home pages of any group, not just the ones they are members of. This is not an ideal situation as sometimes the information is from the activity stream contains sensitive/private group related info.
We have tried a number of routes to solving this issue… once such idea was using ‘User Role Editor’ or other similar plugins to create bespoke roles, but again the issue persists.
I had considered hiding the group activity using CSS and whilst this works, it is a very crude solution that is easy to work around if you know what you are doing.
Our current course of action is to limit the activity stream itself (across all groups), to only the list of group members. This will mean that when any logged in users view any group index they will, at most, see its list of members and nothing more
The filter is there already in the form of a drop down menu. What I need to do is make this the default view, make it fixed and unchangeable.
The PHP page for this activity list is pretty straight forward, and with some gumption I’ll be able to reconfigure the code… I’m not a coder by trade, but not scared either ( that’s always a little dangerous, right? 🙂 )
I have two issues with this solution:
1. I don’t like customisations, the more we make the more we need to maintain and the more likely it is that an update will mess with one or more of them.
2. I would prefer this were manageable via plugin, but I can find nothing that does what we are asking.
I’d welcome your input on this, should you feel inclined!
A few provisos:
– We could remove the activity stream entirely, but we would have to replace it with something, else when a user enters a group they would be presented with an entirely blank page
– The problem is a consequence of our need to provide group administrative rights to group admins; This is essential to the long term viability of the site, from the perspective of managing workload and our users expectation.
– The ideal, which I’ve not entertained (as it does not seem possible at present) is that the activity stream is retained but correctly hidden from users who are not members of the group.
Thanks to anyone who has read this post in entirety and to anyone who can help.

@maddogmcewan Hi there. You say, that you are using Buddystream and that it works like a charm. Can you provide me/us with the exact server configuration and which version of WP, BP and BS you use and how you have setup your cron jobs. I really need this feature to work and may put ressources behind it to become compatible with the latest FB API and WP/BP versions. Wanted to send you a private message, but I couldnt find a way to do so. Kind of ironic on the official BP to not be able to use a core BP feature… anyway, looking forward to hear from you.
P.S. Public message didnt work either, so a new forum topic.
Topic: Hiding Activity Feed
Hello. I’m afraid I’m rather new to Buddypress, and I’ve attempted to find the answer to this issue, but I’m not having much luck. I’m using Buddypress 1.8
Currently I have an installation of Buddypress with three private, active groups. However, I was recently made aware that by doing a search for an individuals name on Google, a person can pull up that individuals activity feed which shows all of their recent posts – even to the private groups.
As you can imagine, this is a massive security issue. I was wondering if there was a fairly simple way to disable activity streams entirely. I apologize for any of my technical limitations ahead of time.
Topic: Privacy and Buddypress
For some time privacy issues in relation to bbpress/buddypress and private groups have been aired on this forum.
See
http://buddypress.org/support/topic/private-group-posts-appearing-in-activity-stream-to-non-members/
http://buddypress.org/support/topic/private-group-topics-appearing-in-activity-stream-help/
http://buddypress.org/support/topic/bugs-between-bbpress-and-buddypress/
Are these issues still live or have they been resolved ?
Could one confidently advise a group (private) to transfer to a buddypress powered installation from google groups?
Have all ( as far as one can tell ! ) privacy issues been resolved ?
Topic: Groups permalinks or slugs
I’m using WordPress 3.7.1., bbPress 2.4.1., BuddyPress 1.8.1 with the Salutation theme by Parallelus 2.0.9. Site: http://www.tafaforum.com/
I’m frustrated with the permalinks or slugs that show up when sharing links from our groups. We have an active private Facebook group where I often post links to the groups on where our members should do such and such, but the links all look the same.
For example:
Accessories Group’s permalink: http://www.tafaforum.com/user-groups/accessories/Accessories Group’s Forum link: http://www.tafaforum.com/user-groups/accessories/forum/
The forum is a bbpress function, right?
A forum topic in the accessories group: http://www.tafaforum.com/user-groups/accessories/forum/topic/tutorials/
Those all look very nice and fine. But, if you go into the edit mode of the page, the permlink for the group is: http://www.tafaforum.com/user-groups/
It is the same for all of the groups. Why? It’s very hard to share info and not have it pull snippets like normal web pages.
I looked for a plugin that would fix this and did not find anything. Any tips? I do have the SEO by Yoast plugin installed and could change the permalink for each group manually, but what about all of the topics and new info posted? That would be a major pain to try to control.
