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

Hello, im going to tell you a quick easy way to do step number 1.
Create a field called School or w.e you want to make it and make a drop down field of all the schools that you can think of.

I would also download buddyprress-better-directory ( it may not scale well with your theme depending on what theme you are using )

so now onto question number 2. As I said for your answer for number one, using the drop down menu for the schools will make it easier to search rather then having the members type in their school. as far as searching for UNC and University of North Carolina, Im sure the search would list all the UNC first, then list the University of North Carolina,

I would also suggest installing s2Members (plugin) and follow the steps to help make your buddypress/wordpress more secure,

Best of Luck,
Ps, this is just a suggestion and it really isn’t a FULL answer to your questions.

Not familiar with bp-sidbar plugin as the requirements for adding sidebars and or widget regions with or without page checking is a relatively simple one.

Not sure what you have done incorrectly then if you have tried creating a new sidebar region, added it as a call in the sidebar.php. It’s one of those questions that is impossible to answer without seeing the code really.

All your requirements seem to revolve around creating specific widget regions and adding them to sidebar.php and correctly wrapping the block in an if ( bp_is_members_component() ) or bp_current_action() or something similar.

@cicakchanson Marking this as resolved. Start a new topic if you have new questions.

Ole!

Deactivate BuddyPress. Is activation email sent/received if you deactivate BuddyPress?
