I already test on new wp + bp install.
These code not work! 🙁

// MODIFY GROUP NAME TABS
$bp->bp_options_nav['groups']['home']['name'] = 'Group Activity'; //NOT WORK
$bp->bp_nav['groups']['home']['name'] = 'Member Activity 2'; //NOT WORK

//REMOVE SPECIFIC GROUP TAB
bp_core_remove_subnav_item($bp->groups->slug, 'send-invites');

taken from: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/14469/remove-tabs-from-buddypress-groups-and-members-pages >> It’s not work anymore in latest BP 2.2.1

I’m using latest WordPress 4.1.1 and latest Buddypress 2.2.1
So.. how to exactly modified Group Tabs in single group page?

anybody? Please help. stuck in 3 days for this.
Thank you.

Good questions. First of all let me correct you, the price is $89 or $90 for single site users. $200 is for 5 sites. Also, there is no option that is $250. That said, price aside, I would pay $250 for EasySocial any day. It is fantastic.

To answer your questions, Feature wise, it is incredibly feature rich, and they work very hard to push more features all the time. It is a young project, and it already has all the features you really need for a Social Network. All in one package. It is on a whole other level.

There is way more backend control, user control, profile control, performance tweaking control etc.

In terms of performance, it is way ahead of BuddyPress and JomSocial. In tests BuddyPress and JomSocial load significantly slower on a highly populated site than on EasySocial. Especially when hosted on a LEMP Stack running Nginx, Php5-fpm, MariaDB and ngx_pagespeed on Debian.

I could answer any specific question about my experiences using EasySocial and JomSocial over the years. But I do recommend that developers take the time to get inspired by EasySocial.

I do understand that the business model is different, but I have seen many incredible open source projects over the years, and that is no excuse. That said, maybe BuddyPress should consider a much more complete version for premium subscription or something.

Hi @shanebp
First of all, thank’s a lot for your fast answer. Now I have understood a lot of thinghs, but I have only two little questions more:
1. The solution using ACTIVITY.PHP, listing in the following topic , let administrator introduce comment from ADMINISTRATION PAGE (DASHBOARD)? Or neither user and administrator will can to do comments in the groups?
2. If I create a CHILD THEME, where I must introduce the file ACTIVITY.PHP ?
Maybe, I need create the followings folders GROUPS/SINGLE into the folder ENFOLD-CHILD? And introduce there ACTIVITY.PHP file into SINGLE folder? Is it so?
I am not informatic and I don’t undestand very well what I need to do.
Thank’s very very much for your answer.

Hey @danbp

Thanks for the feedback. Before I answer your question, I just want to point you to question 4 in the plugin’s FAQ

Why is it that some members don’t have an identicon?
An identicon is used as a member’s avatar only if a profile photo hasn’t been uploaded. After activating the plugin, all new members will be allocated an identicon. Existing members will need to log in to get their identicon.

The reason existing users have to log in to get their identicon is simple. Imagine if a site had 100,000 existing users. At the point the website owner activated the plugin, there’s no way 100,000 fresh identicons could be created. It’d crash their server immediately. I needed a way of staggering the creation of identicons for existing users. The approach I decided on was to create existing user’s identicons on their next login.

Now, to answer your questions 😀

– first time i activated BI, all users showed the mystery man. And plugin works, as i see the border.

Great! That’s expected.

– changed profile photo of admin: custom picture appeared.
– removed the picture: identicon appeared on the admin account.
-tried to do same thing with a dummy user. Nothing happened.

The reason nothing happened for the dummy user is because you’re still logged in as admin. You will need to log in as the dummy user for his/her identicon to be created.

– create a new user from back office, with gmail address, identicon showed up

Great, that’s a new user created. Identicons are created for all new users so that’s expected.

– manually created a identicons folder in /uploads/

There’s no need to manually create folders. The plugin takes care of that for you automatically 🙂

– modified all dummy user mail address. Mystery man still showing.
– applied a custom picture to one, ok, then removed. Mystery man again.

Again, if you’re doing this logged in as admin, then nothing will happen. The actual dummy user will need to log-in in order for their identicon to be created.

– tried global settings to “empty avatar”. Nada ! Reverted to default MM setting and still no identicon.

Global settings aren’t taken into account by design. If you want to disable identicons, simply disable the plugin. Want them back? Re-enable it 🙂

On a dev site, using this plugin would really help to avoid calling an external avatar service.
Would also be true for a prod site, where specially gravatars are mentionned to be optimized as they slow down page speed.

That was one of the driving factors behind creating the plugin. The beauty of it (in my opinion) is there’s no need to make requests to an external service. Everything is stored locally which should improve page load speed.

Hope this info helps to clear up any confusion. If you need any more info then just give me a shout, and feel free to open a support ticket on the plugin’s forum if you find a bug.

@danbp Thanks! And apologies, my questions may appear to be too basic. This is partly because I am a newbie and, I guess, partly because our documentation needs further improvement.

I am slowly getting a hang of what happens when something goes in functions.php/bp-custom.php.

But still I am not able to achieve something that appears to be simple. May be, I will need to ask a better question. Which I will do, in a separate thread.

My questions might have been too complicated. To put it simple, that’s the kind of website I am looking for:

– Homepage: public
– Pages 2 to 8: public
– Page 9 including subpages: members only

How do you set this up with BuddyPress? Is WP Network (Multisite) necessary?

Thanks Henry! I’ll get to work on that. I have so many questions about BuddyPress!

sorry but see resolved? Questions still not answered!
