BuddyPress.org

I installed WP Crontrol and saw nothing out of the ordinary:

ws_plugin__s2member_auto_eot_system__schedule
_cron_zencache_cleanup
bp_activity_akismet_delete_old_metadata
wp_maybe_auto_update
wp_version_check
wp_update_plugins
wp_update_themes
akismet_scheduled_delete
wp_scheduled_delete
wp_scheduled_auto_draft_delete

Earlier today I added the following to my functions.php file:

add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' );

No @mention emails were generated since then. As soon as I commented that code out, within 5-10 minutes thirteen @mention email notifications went out – all with links to content that is years old (pre-import).

I’ve therefore put the filter back into functions.php and can only assume I’ll have to do without the @mention functionality of buddypress.

I appreciate everyone’s help up to this point.

are you saying I should try to apply that on class-bp-messages-message.php

Never touch core files.
Place the code in your theme/functions.php.

Preferred not to hack each site’s theme or the bp plugin.

Removes the bp section as well. Can set by role or capability

Creating a child theme is not necessary. I figured out that if you create template files using the //Template Name you can go to the pages that BuddyPress makes and assign template pages to those pages. So you can create a file named activity.php and make it a template file and add the activity loop inside of that file. Once you have assigned that template to the Activity page in the WordPress dashboard you can then go to the BuddyPress settings and make sure that your Activity page is set up under the Activity drop down and save changes and it will work. I didn’t want to add unnecesary steps to making a single theme that did everything I needed. I will work on compiling a tutorial series on how to work with BuddyPress and then contribute it to the codex. Thank you for the response. Also if you look at the code in the BuddyPress plugin on the codebase you will see that bp-legacy is completely deprecated. There is compatibility code to not break old themes, but it is not the best way to do things.

I just figured that out. I have the activity folder added to the twentyfifteen theme. I am trying to modify the file, but it really doesn’t look like it should. I am logged in and I dont see any activity nor do i see the message Sorry, there was no activity found, Please try a different folder.

I am so confused and frustrated. I am pretty competent with wordpress as well as php, and i don’t feel like this should be so difficult.

I found the answer myself. BuddyPress uses specific folders for the default pages (Activity, Groups, Forums, etc.) located at wp-content/plugins/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress. In each folder found here are the corresponding default templates. These can be added to a folder you create in your theme. The folder you add to your theme must be named community or buddypress.

So I found this page, which says I can make a directory named buddypress or community. However, it doesn’t say the name of any of the files I can override. What files can I override and what do they do?

I am going to try a similar, but different theme with the new BBPress/Buddypress plugins, now using older version from earlier this year.

Just to play around with the code, not doing it for much more then laughs at the moment.

I’m using the 7.2 theme. I’ve tested it on Twenty Fifteen and it displays again in basic format. When logged in as a new member there is a join now button at least, but the styling is still very plain compared to the documentation screenshot – no avatars or colour – as per my previous screenshot of my site.

The page is also called titled ‘Groups’ rather than ‘Groups directory’ – but i’m sure i could always change the name in WP settings.

I’ve also got a problem with Activation emails but i’ll need to create a new thread for that.

Figured it out!:)
Went into the File Manager on my Website Hosting.
Located the file: /SocialNetwork/wp-content/themes/woffice/framework-customizations/extensions/woffice-birthdays

Once I did that I renamed it, it seems to be working fine now!

Thanks for the reply Ray..

Yes I am using the WOffice theme!

I get this code under the Birthday plugin:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function xprofile_get_field_data() in /home/dtente5/public_html/SocialNetwork/wp-content/themes/woffice/framework-customizations/extensions/woffice-birthdays/class-fw-extension-woffice-birthdays.php on line 31

Any ideas?

So i’ve had some success trying to change the profile links with this code:

function _bp_core_get_user_domain($domain) {
	$url = get_home_url();
	$user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
	if (empty($user_id)) {
		$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();
	}
	if (empty($user_id)) {
		//$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
	}
	$user_info = get_userdata($user_id);
	$link = $user_info->display_name;
	$domain = '' . $url . '/profiles/' . $link . '';
	return $domain;
    }
add_filter('bp_core_get_user_domain', '_bp_core_get_user_domain', 10, 4);
apply_filters( 'bp_get_activity_user_link', '_bp_core_get_user_domain', 15, 1);

This seems to work on every profile link except the one in the activity header section. This link is being changed but just to /profiles/. The display name is not being added to the end… so looking at my code this means i’m not retrieving the user id in the activity. Strangely enough though the user avatar next to the post has the correct link applied to it with the above filter! Any ideas?

My other option is to use the buddypress member profile location but replace it with my profile templates. I tried to implement this by creaing a members/single/home.php in my wordpress custom theme folder… but the profile loads inside another page, i get a page within a page type effect with the username above the inner page… not sure what is going on there? If anyone can help with either of these solutions i’d really appreciate it!

So it looks like i found a fix but dont know root cause

Ended up deactivating all plugins

Updated the theme which DID have an update

Reactivated all plugins one by one

Reinstalled BP

So far no issues at this point – did have to copy the old css file over to the new theme folder but that seemed insignifigant.

If it appears that the problem comes with the latest update (sahifa). When changing theme fails me. Thank you
