BuddyPress.org

The search facility is not working on the site, well it kind of does, but only shows blog entries. what I do is use the tags and get the closest word to your problem and click on it and see what comes up. Of course first ask on the support forum, but I find, on my questions anyway, that only about 20% are answered. On the email notification, again I dont think it works, so to get over this, I will make some comment on a post I am interested in or want to find a problem on. Then when I return to the BP site, I log in and go to my activity page, and that shows all the posts I have being involved with, so I am able to follow it that way.

There is a few bugs with BP own site, another one is my username is shown as “deleted user”, while my username is B1gft. I posted about it and again they said they have seen a lot of members that had this problem, again they said they knew about it, but again it was not fixed.

Or, create an achievement with negative points (i.e. how many you want to get rid of). Then award yourself it, then delete the achievement.

You have to do this directly in the database. Go into the wp_usermeta table, and look for meta_key of something like ‘dpa_points’ or ‘achievements_points’. Find the user_id that you want to change, and edit the meta_value column.

@goviral Closed your other thread with basically the same questions.

1. To remove commenting (and comment button) in activity stream,

Just add this to your theme’s functions.php file

`// Do not allow commenting in activity stream
add_filter(‘bp_activity_can_comment’,’__return_false’);`

2. is there any way I can change other buttons/icons through the child theme?

Simplest way is to use text-indent to the specific button and add the image background. For example, for the Activity Favorite button, you’d add something like this in your theme’s style.css file

`#activity-stream .activity-meta .fav {
background: #000 url(“images/myfavoriteimage.png”) 0 0 no-repeat;
text-indent: -9999px;
}`

then change background color or image when you hover over the favorite link. Use Firefox add-on Firebug or use Chrome developer to identify selectors to change styles/values for in your stylesheet.

I’m not spending time building CSS/HTML for you, but the templates you need to edit are in the /achievements/templates/ plugin folder. Copy the directory inside the /achievements/templates/ folder into your theme, and edit those files.

The directory template is the ‘index.php’ file in the achievements subfolder above.

Achievements only supports group forums at the moment.

See Registration -> BuddyPress isn’t sending out emails (eg. activation emails, email notifications) https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/

https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory – old style and cannot be used for multisite nor BuddyPress

If you’re trying to load members-overview.php as a separate page, take a look at this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/allow-php-in-posts-and-pages/

If not, then use the bp-custom approach I mentioned above – you’ll need to learn it anyway.

Basically, you need to ask better questions, ie. what, where – exactly, why etc.
Use http://pastie.org/ and show your code.

1. No, you don’t need to install bbPress plugin aka Sitewide Forums as well if you don’t need it in your specific installation. Having said that, know that per roadmap, come BP 1.6, group forums will be migrated into Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin). For installation of Group/Sitewide Forums https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

2. BuddyPress is a WP plugin, so no problem there at all. I test on XAMPP so I don’t know what challenges you face on a WAMP server, maybe someone can chime in on this one.

Did you check out BP Codex – to start off:

I saw the same question at stackexchange and it’s answered there

@pawriter you need to post these types of questions to the respective plugin groups to get support:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-multi-group-remove/

Hello,

Most likely you have installed a plugin for adding posts ( one click post Maybe)

Here is how to get rid of that error.

1-open you PHPMyadmin ( your MySQL database from your hosting control )
2-Look up a table called “wp_bp_notifications”
3-in that table look under the column “component_name”, delete the entire row of any field you find empty under that column

This should fix your problem, please let me know if you have any questions
