BuddyPress.org

I think you need a child-theme and change the header.php to include your custom navigation, I have created a similar menu but did require a lot of work in the header.

When new messages the number of messages shows in the message-icon, links to profile page, also woocommerce integrated and a dashboard link for admin only.

The following is in my custom header.php

First code links to profile.
<li><a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain(); ?>" class="activitylink" title="My Account"><span class="dashicons dashicons-admin-users"></span></a></li>

This code deals with messages.

<li><a href="<?php global $current_user; echo home_url() . '/members/' . $current_user->user_login . '/messages/'; ?>"><span class="dashicons dashicons-admin-comments"></span><span class="commentcount"><?php if (bp_get_total_unread_messages_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) > 0 ) { ?> <?php bp_total_unread_messages_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ?><?php } ?></span></a>
</li>

Since I did not want too much in my nav I only used these buddypress features, more would clog up my website too much.

But where it comes down to is with a child-theme you can make it exactly as you like.

Good luck
P.H.

I guess the only way to achieve this is to create a child-theme and override the buddypress templates there, then your theme stays ok unless they make a major change with hooks etc.

Then in your entry.php file in your custom buddypress theme folder (located in wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress/activity/), replace the delete link code from this

<?php if ( bp_activity_user_can_delete() ) bp_activity_delete_link(); ?>

to this

<?php if ( bp_activity_user_can_delete() ) bp_activity_delete_link_aside(); ?>

Why not? What theme do you use?

Can you give me a link to a group page?

ive just noticed the same thing, its defo something with the theme inspirebook.

if i switch to a different theme it works, i can upload cover images to profile and group.

if i enable the theme again, i cant.

i have deleted the theme and uploaded it again and still nothing.

i have disabled all plugins except buddypress and still the same, so wondering what it could be

I too are in this vote but also i would like for profile updates, change their profile pictures to not show up on the sites activity feed. I have tried the code above but it does not appear to do nothing after adding to the child themes function.php. Please help very much appreciated.
Sorry it does remove the friendships made and blog posts from the drop down but not from the activity streams.

@needynoipe Unfortunately, we don’t have the source code of that premium theme to help you out. The best place to ask is at the theme owner’s support forums.

I have the same problem.
Look in the right column of my register page

When I change to Twenty Seventeen the duplicates disappear, though. Can you confirm, @aubreyw?

I use a child theme of GeneratePress. How can we correct this duplicate issue in our themes?

I have the same problem. Every plugins except Buddypress successfully send mails. ( woocommerce, WPForms… ) I tried disabling all plugins, default theme, tried default wp mail, tried smtp trough WP Mail SMTP, Postman…

Anyways. I’ll follow this thread too.

@grimbot – When you swapped out the header.php file for the original, did it fix the AJAX problem you’ve described here? It’s likely that it’s unrelated, but worth checking.

> Perhaps something with the .httaccess files?

Unlikely – mods to the .htaccess file might prevent the call from going through in the first place. This AJAX call is successfully hitting the server, but it’s returning something incorrect.

Given that the item is showing up in the database/Dashboard, it’s highly likely that your theme is the culprit. As a test, try switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme to see if that makes the problem go away.

If you have the ability to search your codebase, either via SSH or as a local copy, you should search it to find the string from the screenshot. That’s how I’d start debugging.

$ grep -nR "why\-does\-width" wp-content/themes/staticcolonies_ct

Can you share a screenshot? (Upload to https://postimg.org/ and share the URL to the screenshot.) Seeing how the fields are rendered may give a hint as to why this is happening.

It may also be worth switching to the Twenty Sixteen theme momentarily (or some other WP default theme) to see if it solves the problem. If so, you can narrow it down to your theme causing the problem. If that’s the case, please share details about your theme.

If you’re able, search your codebase for the string. It *must* be there somewhere. If you have SSH access:

$ grep -nR "Please upload your profile photo to start using this site" wp-content/plugins

Repeat for mu-plugins and themes.

lol, did not mean to break your head.

Do you have a child-theme?

If you add the following code to your functions.php your members should return to the page they logged-in from.

if ( (isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] != 'logout') || (isset($_POST['login_location']) && !empty($_POST['login_location'])) ) {
        add_filter('login_redirect', 'my_login_redirect', 10, 3);
        function my_login_redirect() {
                $location = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
                wp_safe_redirect($location);
                exit();
        }
}

In your child-themes function.php paste the following code:

add_action( 'init', 'blockusers_init' );
function blockusers_init() {
if ( is_admin() && ! current_user_can( 'administrator' ) &&
! ( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX ) ) {
wp_redirect( home_url() );
exit;
}
}

You could try using a different plugin for switching the login page. https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/login+page/ The one I’ve seen in use before is Theme My Login. Maybe it will work better with your setup.

Hi @thelovebridges –

BP doesn’t have any built-in tools for modifying the appearance of the page from the Dashboard.

This leaves you with two options:
1. Use custom CSS. You can probably accomplish much of what you want this way.
2. Override BP’s templates in your child theme. Only do this if you need to change markup.

If you can give more of an idea of what you’re trying to accomplish, we may be able to give more specific advice.

I’ve logged in and reproduced the error.

One of two things is happening here.

1. The item is being posted, but cannot be loaded for some reason. Check Dashboard > Activity to see if the item is listed there; if so, then it falls into this category.

2. The item is not being posted.

When I click ‘Read More’, I’m seeing something like this in the console: https://postimg.org/image/40weara5j/ This suggests to me that there’s some custom code on your server – maybe the theme, I’m unsure – that’s interfering with the AJAX call. Does this code look like something you wrote? If you switch back to Twenty Fourteen (instead of your child theme) does the problem persist?

These tabs are hardcoded into the theme template. So you have two options:

1. Override the theme template in your own theme (copy /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/index.php to /wp-content/themes/[your-theme]/buddypress/activity/index.php, open the copied template, and remove the tabs you don’t want.

2. Hide with CSS. Eg

body.activity.directory #activity-friends {
    display: none;
}
