@nnyorker Are you using a custom theme?

I think certain types of custom themes have to opt-in for cover image support. @imath will know 🙂

there has been some discussion of this here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bussdypress-title-and-seo-yoast-problem/#post-253510

and here:

https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/bp-meta-tite-description-for-groups-and-members-pages

and several other places including the suggestions / feedback area amongst others.

I’ve had it fixed a time or two but updates to either bp or themes have broken my fixes.
This is something that google’s webmaster tools screams at you as being bad, and hurts your site the more members you get.

so I added a noindex no follow to the robots.txt file to remove most of the bp pages from being indexed.

Just checked ..working fine on me..test with 2016 theme..or are you using any plugin for cover pic?

regarding title check the <title> tag in your themes header.php….also are you using any SEO plugin? if yes see what title tag is suggested to be used in header.php

and regarding the look and feel of your theme..is this a paid theme? if yes you need to check with the theme author

check your site with the wp 2016 theme…does the issue remain?

You’ll probably want to create a new page and then load a custom template.

In your custom template, you’ll need to create an Activity loop with the parameters that you want.

Sounds like this is your first time performing these tasks.
Give it a serious and thorough attempt and see how far you can get.
If you get stuck, use gist or pastebin to share the code in your custom template.

Please do not paste all the code on these forums.

To reveal if the issue is in your theme, try switching momentarily to a theme like WP 2013 and test again.

Hi,

You said you made some custom work. Review your work and search for WP_Widget occurence, there is probably a little error somewhere and the reason of the php notice. Culprit seems to come from your custom work. You have to debug ! 😉

Difficult to say exactly what’s going on and where. It could be a call to widget from within your theme, or a custom function you added or a plugin you use. That call is using an old method, or some old php coding. It can also be a JS conflict, which could explain why you don’t receive group activities or even a missing BP class or ID name.

Read here, perhaps you can get an idea.

And don’t panic, a php notice is not a hot security alert, just a tech message. You can live with it or try to repair (which would be better).

Which theme are you using? Do you see the problem if you activate Twenty Fifteen?

Hi @pulseorth,

do you see php messages when you enable wp_debug in wp-config while using the custom a la facebook install/theme ?

Hi @eutopia007,

you say nothing about the theme, which could be the culprit. Activate one of the default WordPress Twenty theme and see if the error remain.

In any case, a page named #gf_2 is not part of BuddyPress or WordPress. Check all your pages and their permalinks. If you find one using that, delete it. You should also clear your trash definetly as it could be you have that page in it.

WordPress use page which should be unique and have unique names.

For more information, read here.

you would need to manually edit/change the group widget php page of your theme

You should never hack core files, as you already said ,you will have to redo your customization after each update !

1) https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/

2) BP will be updated, and your custom work will remain intact, as long as you use a child-theme and bp-custom.php Child theme and bp-custom have priority when BP is loaded. Anything which is not in them will then be taken directly from BP or theme. Read about template hierarchy on codex.

All this is detailled on codex. If questions, seacch the forum, they’re many topics around this.

Most of bp files are in php, so i can’t answer for YOUR php file.

I you modify the register page, where xprofile fields are showing at first, the template file i’m talking about is in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php.

If you don’t know about template overload, read here first.

Or if you use a custom function to fire your work via an action hook, perhaps you could try to use bp-custom.php

I see the members list (http://www.hostinggeeks.net/members/) !
I see the site activity (http://www.hostinggeeks.net/activity/) !

You have to debug your site.

Use a Twenty theme while debuging and activate wp-debug in wp-config.php

The k-elements plugin is throwing many warnings. Deactivate it and ask evtl. for help on it’s support forum.

That’s unfortunately what i expected… GF is a third party premium plugin for which nobody can help you here, except if he/she use that plugin.

If you read here, it’s somehow explained in details.

What you already used (gform_field_value_linkuser), linkuser is a GF field name. If i’m right, see the advanced tab of that field and complete the name parameter.

Here a snippet which let you see how to link a username to his profile, when you’re outside of the member_loop. It will output the current user name on the site wide activity header. For test only.

Note that it use BuddyPress default Name field and that it comes from a BP form. As you use GF, you certainly need to find how to grab properly a GF field value.

Function goes to bp-cutom, may also work in theme’s functions.php

function bpfr_my_profile_link_on_SWA_header () {	
	$user_id = get_current_user_id();
	$profile_url = bp_loggedin_user_domain();

	if( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
		return;
	}

	echo '<br>Test userlink:&nbsp;'; 

	if ( !$data = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Name' ) ) : 

		echo xprofile_get_field_data( 'Name', bp_get_member_user_id() ) .'<a href="'. $profile_url .'">'. bp_core_get_username( $user_id ).'</a><br>';

	endif;		

}
add_action( 'bp_activity_type_tabs', 'bpfr_my_profile_link_on_SWA_header' ); 

Sorry, I can’t help you more.

Give details please: php version, theme name, used plugins.

Do you have the same issue when you use a Twenty something theme ?
