BuddyPress.org

How would I be able to change settings and the design…

You can customize the layout ( design ) by following these instructions:
setup template files so that you can customize them.

Hi,

sorry, but you found the culprit: it’s your actual theme.
As you said, then I changed the theme to TwentySixteen and all worked fine and you reverted to Enigma and, bam, no gallery slider on the activity page.

Check theme’s settings, and eventually your js console for some errors.

Try the 2nd one first.
Put it in your theme/functions.php or in bp-custom.php – a file you may need to create.

Hi,

you need to use bbpress.po translation file, even if your site is in default english language.
Or if you only want to modify one word, you can use this snippet from inside your child-theme’s functions.php (will also work in bp-custom.php)

function bruce_change_name( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {
		
	if ( 'bbpress' !== $domain )  
	return $translated; 
	
	switch ( $original_text ) {
		
		case 'Forums':  // original word
		return 'Four Rhum'; // your custom word
		
		default:
		return $translated;
	}
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'bruce_change_name', 10, 3 );

WP reference: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/gettext/

The first one refers to bbPress.
And can be difficult to track down. It may be in the bbPress plugin or another plugin that calls bPress .

2. Something, not BuddyPress, is creating a Widget using a deprecated constructor method.

3. Is related to a JetPack module.

The first step to getting rid of those Notices is identifying the source, so:
– switch momentarily to a WP theme like 2013 and see if any persist
– turn off plugins one at a time and see if any persist

Time consuming…

Hi @bertl11, I suspect we were having similar issues. Try deleting the @ in the cover-image-header.php file instead of member-header.php because that worked for me. I have cover images turned on, I’m curious if you do too.

Hope that solves your issue!

I figured my issue out, it was with a plugin “Mojo Under Construction”

When I deactivated it I was able to upload through other roles other than admin.

some quick advice for anyone who finds their way to this thread..

• bp-custom.php – check to see that you don’t have any avatar related stuff in here
• functions.php to eliminate a function as a possibility switch to a default theme like 2015 to see if it works
• **when switching roles of a user remember to log that user out and back in before testing uploads in that role.
• disable all plugins (if youve had any in the past that altered, ermmm, user roles/persmissions? there could be some leftover stuff even after disabling/uninstalling, or so ive read)

Try this: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/loops-reference/the-activity-stream-loop/#filtering-examples

Copy the activity-loop.php file into your child theme and then update line 18 with the settings that suit you using the guide in the link to help.

If you use the TwentyFifteen theme and disable all plugins, do you still get the error?

Check the @ isn’t being added by your theme. If it is, then you can use the Template Hierarchy to override the relevant templates.

Could be theme-related or perhaps a plugin is conflicting. Try with TwentyFifteen and all plugins disabled.

Avoid editing core files and you should be fine. Instead, put your functions and code snippets in a bp-custom.php file or your child theme’s functions.php.

Also, check out the Template Hierarchy article for info on template editing.

If you’re experiencing some kind of redirect, then that’s likely coming from either a plugin, or your active theme.

Maybe it’s an easy thing, but I am really confused. Please advise me.

Well, if it’s easy we’re both dummies cuz I find it extremely confusing myself.

Take the template for a single members profile page as an example.

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/home.php

is to be copied and renamed to your theme, but first you have to rename it to index.php for some reason. like this..

/wp-content/themes/THEMEFOLDER/buddypress/members/single/index.php

Or this one which I forget is to either view the inbox or a message thread..

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/messages/single/view.php

would change to..

/wp-content/themes/THEMEFOLDER/buddypress/members/single/index-action-view.php

Some template files are turned into ‘actions’, some are to be ‘components’, some files get renamed, some names stay the same but go in different folders than the bp-legacy structure, and so on.

Here’s a page that can sort of help make sense of it..

Template Hierarchy

Unless you are explictly using the bp-default theme as your Theme,
always use these templates bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

Re your current activity/index file in your child theme – use the index.php from the bp-legacy location and move any changes you want into that file.

Which theme are you using?

Just to confirm it’s not a theme issue, please try switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2013 and see if the issue persists.

Try adding this to your theme/functions.php or bp-custom.php

add_filter('bp_get_send_public_message_button', '__return_false');

Have you tested with a twenty theme ?
