BuddyPress.org

Does “your theme” here mean my theme twenty twelve? Or do they mean some other buddypress theme folder?

Template compatibility also runs a check to see if two directories or folders exist in a theme:

‘buddypress’
‘community’
If either of these two folders exist in your theme and they contain BP template files then those files will be used in preference to the bp plugins versions.

Edit this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php

If you have cover images enabled, edit this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\cover-image-header.php

Either way, you should be creating template overloads.

Hi there, let’s try to reply to one problem at a time!

Now the posts do appear in activity stream, but not the comments. If i comment on a post, the stream doesn’t show the comments, but if i comment on a post via activity stream, the comment is then seen on a post and on the activity stream.

I guess, this means the BuddyPress “Site Tracking” is active.

1/ WordPress Administration > BuddyPress Settings > Options Tab – Activity Settings section:
Setting ‘Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts’ is not checked. It means when a post or a comment is posted, then an activity will be generated, but it’s not possible to add an “Activity comment” to the generated activities. Just tested with latest WordPress and BuddyPress 2.5.2 and it works as expected:

2/ WordPress Administration > BuddyPress Settings > Options Tab – Activity Settings section:
Setting ‘Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts’ is checked. This means you chose to synchronize comments between the Post object and the corresponding activity object. So a comment on the activity about the post will generate a regular post comment and a regular post comment will generate an activity comment on the activity about the Post. Just tested with latest WordPress and BuddyPress 2.5.2 and it works as expected:

Now @cmavrikas is talking about something else i think. He wants the activity comments to also be displayed like regular activities: in stream mode.
I then advise to use another filter to avoid parsing args / checking the current object of the Ajax querystring:

function activity_comments_stream_mode( $args = array() ) {
	return array_merge( $args, array(
		'display_comments' => 'stream',
	) );
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_has_activities_parse_args', 'activity_comments_stream_mode', 20, 1 );

I just tested it, and again it’s working fine in latest WordPress / BuddyPress 2.5.2…

I advise you to deactivate plugins/come back to a default WordPress theme and do the opposite work to find the plugins or theme that prevents this regular behaviors.

what code should I place and where?

I’ve provided the code to use.
And explained that you need to find the code that displays the avatar on post pages – it’s somewhere in your theme.

There is no need to modify the member loop. You just have to add the function into one of the file i mentionned.

By doing this with bp-custom.php, you don’t need to alter your curent theme and by the way, it will also work in case you use another theme.

OK, so this is the code I have put into my child theme:

// COVER IMAGES

// Add css style for background cover images

function bp_legacy_theme_cover_image_css( $settings = array() ) {

$theme_handle = 'bp-child-css';

$settings['theme_handle'] = $theme_handle;

$settings['callback'] = 'bp_legacy_theme_cover_image';

return $settings;

}

function bp_legacy_theme_cover_image( $params = array() ) {

if ( empty( $params ) ) {

return;

}

return '

#buddypress #header-cover-image {

height: ' . $params["height"] . 'px;

background-image: url(' . $params['cover_image'] . ');

}

';

}

add_filter( 'bp_before_xprofile_cover_image_settings_parse_args', 'bp_legacy_theme_cover_image_css', 10, 1 );

add_filter( 'bp_before_groups_cover_image_settings_parse_args', 'bp_legacy_theme_cover_image_css', 10, 1 );

I get this error: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_legacy_theme_cover_image() (previously declared in /home3/xxx/public_html/mysite.com/wp-content/themes/valenti-child/functions.php:49) in /home3/xxx/public_html/mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress-functions.php on line 1928

Could someone point me in the right direction,…this is driving me nuts!

It works here.
You need to put it in a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\members-loop.php

Replace the update code with this:
<span class="update"><?php $args = array( 'length' => 50 ); bp_member_latest_update( $args ); ?></span>

It’ll be BuddyPress in conjunction with something else. What theme are you using? What other plugins are active?

Can you try adding this to your theme’s functions.php:

add_filter( 'bp_core_avatar_original_max_filesize', function() {
    return 5120000; // 5mb
} );

Unfortunately, that error message isn’t super-useful to pinpoint where the problem might be.
On my dev environment, I have no trouble running WP-CLI commands.

What theme are you using? What other plugins are active?

Can you post some information about your install?

• Active theme
• Plugins activated
• BuddyPress version
• WordPress version

Thanks!

Hey guys, I’m having same issue but I can’t seem to figure it out. I’ve tried messing with the code and implementing it into my child themes function.php but no luck. Can someone give me a sample of code I can try. @bertl11 how did you get it working?

Ola,

BP doesn’t handle login and has no captcha system. BP offers only a login widget. Do you use it ?

Apparently, some stylesheets aren’t loaded properly.
Deactivate Total cache and bwp-minify and see if it remains.
Once done, enable Twenty Fifteen or Sixteen and give a try.

If it works, you have to check the theme AND your child-theme.

The second ask — i can’t usefully contribute!

for the first ask

Assuming your new user fills in her/his profile fields on registration

Something like the following MIGHT work.

On FIRST login a user is redirected to say .$user -> user_login.’/profile/change-avatar/’;

then add something like this to the functions.php file of your theme

function alaiam(){

global $current_user, $wpdb, $bp;

get_currentuserinfo();

$user_id = get_current_user_id();

$firstname = xprofile_get_field_data( "First Name" ,$user_id);
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'first_name', $firstname);

$lastname = xprofile_get_field_data( "Last Name" ,$user_id);
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'last_name',$lastname);

$gender= xprofile_get_field_data( "Gender" ,$user_id);
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'gender',$gender);

$xdob= xprofile_get_field_data( "Date of Birth" ,$user_id);
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'dob',$xdob);

/*and so on.........*/

add_action('bp_before_profile_avatar_upload_content', 'alaiam', 10, 0);
