BuddyPress.org

I changed the source code

It’s never a good idea to change the plugin’s source. You should revert that change. Any custom code snippets you might have should go into either your theme’s functions.php file or a bp-custom.php file (if you have one).

Suggestions in this post MAY be of some help.

I only say MAY because the user base is shared – once a user visits another network that user is added to the Members of that network.

However each network can have absolutely completely separate Activity Streams, Groups, Forums, and sites/blogs as well as separate plugin and theme structures.

I fully understand that this may not not be exactly what you are looking for but it certainly is a very good start.

Your best bet is to provide the theme author with some screenshots of the problem and hopefully they can issue a fix. It’s probably worth deactivating all plugins and custom code before taking the screengrabs, to be sure nothing is conflicting.

Hi Joe and Nat,

Can you provide some more details?

1. plugins used
2. theme used
3. WP and BP versions
4. any console errors or notices

@ldesherl I just see an error on your home page right now with the TGM plugin. Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress. Change to a WP Default Twenty-* theme then activate BuddyPress.

P.S. For forums, install bbPress which works very well with BuddyPress

The above is wrong – unless you are using the bp-default theme – not recommended.

‘Hide’ the Create a Group link by turning it off in Groups Settings > Group Creation
.../wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-settings

Create a template overload of this file and remove that code:

buddypress\bp-themes\bp-default\groups\index.php

Correction: This is wrong – see below.

BP doesn’t provide functionality for Events – groups or otherwise.
You are using another plugin or custom code for that.
The inability to restore Events is due to something in your code – possibly the theme.

You should let the theme author know there’s a problem, and hopefully they can issue a fix.

Disable starring messages with this snippet in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:

add_filter( 'bp_is_messages_star_active', '__return_false' );

To remove the ‘Delete’ link from the messages inbox, you’ll have to override the inbox template and remove the ‘Delete’ link.

Read the Overloading Template Compatibility theme files section of this codex article for more info.

The template you’ll want to copy over to your theme to override is this one:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.4.2/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/messages/messages-loop.php

Which theme are you using?
Does the issue persist if you switch to a WP theme such as 2013?

Are you using a caching plugin?
If so, are you caching objects? Don’t.

BP does not provide a ‘wall’ tab.
You are using a custom plugin or theme – perhaps BuddyBoss?
Have you tried asking them>

Could be a theme issue. Which theme are you using? Does the same thing happen if you use Twenty Fifteen or Twenty Sixteen?

You can’t ‘override/replace this function in my theme’s functions.php file’.

You can use the filter hook and write a function for use in theme/functions:
Something like:

function jturet_group_front_template( $template_names ) {

    $template_names[1] = // make your changes

    return $template_names;

}
add_filter( 'bp_groups_get_front_template', 'jturet_group_front_template' );

Are you sure those members are all subscribers?
Remove your mu plugin.
Try this in your theme/functions.php or plugins/bp-custom.php
Remember to remove it when done.

function mie_add_last_activity() {

  $subscribers =  get_users( 'fields=ID&role=subscriber' );
  
   foreach ( $subscribers as $user_id ) {
        bp_update_user_last_activity( $user_id, bp_core_current_time() );
   }

}
add_action('bp_init', 'mie_add_last_activity' );

@shweikiart WP/BP versions? Have you tried deactivating all other plugins except BuddyPress then change to the Twenty Fifteen theme?
