BuddyPress.org

I think I got it working although I didn’t quite get the result I expected based on the name “profile visibility”. I expected to see settings like “show my profile to group everyone/members/friends/logged in users”, “show me in the directory”, etc.

Instead the page that loaded shows the various Profile Fields and allows the use to toggle the visibility of each field. This seems very similar to the controls available when the user when editing their profile (where they can set these same visibility settings).

This file: …themes/ibuddy/buddypress/members/single/settings.php

was missing this

 case 'profile'        :
		bp_get_template_part( 'members/single/settings/profile'        );
		break;

@danbp Yes the plugin is network activated. Try visiting/clicking the links like Archives / Categories – Refresh and come back to the site home page.

If you have been unable to reproduce it will mean I am doing something weird or its a browser related problem ( I am using the very latest FF ).

This post is not meant to take up moderator time ( that time is really precious and since we have WP BP stuff scattered over so many sites) – I just posted to see if any user has similar issues and workarounds. This happens in Twenty Fifteen theme only, so there are other themes which I can use without any issues,

Thanks a lot for testing @danbp.

Hi @danbp Thanks.

Again when trying with

WP 4.1.1, BP 2.2.1 – default installs
define( ‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true );
define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
Registration Settings : Both sites and user accounts can be registered.
Using default Twenty-Fifteen theme
Using Apache server

I found some more things : see this picture

Now UserA signs up for both account and site.
When he visits the category “Uncategorized” –> Page not found
When he creates a post using say, Format: Gallery –> Clicking on ‘Gallery’ : Page not found
Now if he visits the UserA/wp-admin/options-permalink.php – just visits and does nothing, no saving – all the errors vanish. “Uncategorized”, link “Gallery” everything works.
Same for user B , user C …
No idea if this is normal and expected or not.
I am searching how to do this automatically without the user having to compulsorily visit the Permalinks page. Mind you, the Permalink is already set to ‘Day and name’ – which is not “Default”, thus Permalink is already otherwise okay.

If any user has time here, can try the above steps to reproduce, and if any clue/remedy can please share. Thanks.

Hi @shanebp
First of all, thank’s a lot for your fast answer. Now I have understood a lot of thinghs, but I have only two little questions more:
1. The solution using ACTIVITY.PHP, listing in the following topic , let administrator introduce comment from ADMINISTRATION PAGE (DASHBOARD)? Or neither user and administrator will can to do comments in the groups?
2. If I create a CHILD THEME, where I must introduce the file ACTIVITY.PHP ?
Maybe, I need create the followings folders GROUPS/SINGLE into the folder ENFOLD-CHILD? And introduce there ACTIVITY.PHP file into SINGLE folder? Is it so?
I am not informatic and I don’t undestand very well what I need to do.
Thank’s very very much for your answer.

Hi @shanebp
I have seen you have writed in the TOPIC “How to disable Group Activity updates?”(https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-disable-group-activity-updates/)
I need to do the same, but I need to let administrator to introduce comment in the groups.
I have ENFOLD THEME. ENFOLD is a theme compatible with BUDDYPRESS, but I think it is not a BUDDYPRESS THEME (I don’t find the folder named GROUP, so I think ENFOLD it is not a BUDDYPRESS THEME).

The question is: if ENFOLD is not a BUDDYPRESS THEME, how can I do in order to restinge activity in the groups and let only at the administrators to do comments?

Thanks very much for your support.
I hope your answer

Great! thank you, found the solution in https://buddypress.org/support/topic/change-the-default-activity-tab/.

Here’s the solution by @paulhastings0 and it also works with the Buddypress Follow plugin:

1. Make sure that you’re working on a child theme of the BP Default theme.
2. Copy/paste the contents of bp-default/activity/index.php into your child theme’s activity/index.php folder
3. Find the line <li class=”selected” id=”activity-all”> and delete class=”selected”
4. Scroll down a few lines further to <li id=”activity-friends”> and insert class=”selected” just after id=”activity-friends”

🙂

@ubernaut

hmmm… so I missed some info 🙁
WP 4.1.1 Multisite, Buddypress 2.2.1, Bp-checkins.1.2.2 – plain, simple, default install, nothing else, Theme is default Twenty Fifteen

Steps to reproduce ( you can test it in localhost in 3 seconds flat)
Install WP 4.1.1, enable Multisite, BP 2.2.1
Enable Bp-checkins.1.2.2 – some links in sidebar as shown in the above picture vanishes
Disable Bp-checkins.1.2.2 – they come back
Most funny is Mr. WordPress on Hello World! – Hello World! disappears but Mr. WordPress remains 🙂

Thanks

I’m using a child of the bp-default theme, and I haven’t overridden the activity template.

A search of the files in the buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default folder turns up nothing, so I’m guessing not.

Went down to zero plugins, except BuddyPress. Changed to the BuddyBoss parent theme and Twenty Fifteen.

@hnla – Thanks Hugo. Yeah I’m generally ok with the BuddyPress templates, but I keep forgetting to look in bp-templates instead of bp-themes. Bad habits!

@hnla – I was looking in the bp-themes directory not the bp-templates directory. Facepalm.
