BuddyPress.org

How are you creating the custom taxonomy pages?

re: ‘We get this annoying error’ – yes it is annoying.
It also indicates that something is calling BuddyPress or a WP user function too early in the load process – usually via a hook.
Unfortunately, many themes and plugins do that and there is no warning – but BP will issue the warning.
Tracking down the culprit can be difficult.

That warning notice will not appear if you are only using WP and BP with a standard WP theme like 2015.

I just tested it and it works properly. [ Don’t use an ‘exit’. ]

function test() {
    echo "<br>test worked!<br>";
}
add_action('bp_after_registration_confirmed', 'test');

Are you using a custom register page?
If so, does it have the do_action hook you’re trying to use?

Also try it with a standard WP theme like 2015.

Hi,

this can be done by template overload and a child-theme.

After you register a user, do you see a message that starts with You have successfully created your account! ?

If you do, your function should work.

You could try putting it in the theme/functions.php

Putting code directly into a template is okay if you create a template overload.

The right way is to use a template overload.

Please, read a possible answer in this new codex article:

BuddyPress Cover Images

That is odd.
It’s difficult to suggest a solution when replicating the issue is nigh impossible.
But maybe more info about the issue can be generated…

Try using a WP theme like 2013, deactivating bbPress and turning debug on in wp-config.php
https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG

The file is getting uploaded to “wp-content/uploads/group-avatars/4/” but doesn’t appear on the group.

Does anything appear on the group? View source or use a browser code inspector to take a close look.

Hi,
You need to override this js function

 bp_legacy_theme_hide_comments(

There are many ways to do it. You can either put the following code in your theme’s js file

function bp_legacy_theme_hide_comments() {
	var comments_divs = jq('div.activity-comments'),
		parent_li, comment_lis, comment_count;
	
		var max_show = 2;
	
	if ( !comments_divs.length ) {
		return false;
	}

	comments_divs.each( function() {
		if ( jq(this).children('ul').children('li').length < max_show ) {
			return;
		}

		comments_div = jq(this);
		parent_li = comments_div.parents('#activity-stream > li');
		comment_lis = jq(this).children('ul').children('li');
		comment_count = ' ';

		if ( jq('#' + parent_li.attr('id') + ' a.acomment-reply span').length ) {
			comment_count = jq('#' + parent_li.attr('id') + ' a.acomment-reply span').html();
		}

		comment_lis.each( function(i) {
			/* Show the latest 5 root comments */
			if ( i < comment_lis.length - max_show ) {
				jq(this).addClass('hidden');
				jq(this).toggle();

				if ( !i ) {
					jq(this).before( '<li class="show-all"><a href="#' + parent_li.attr('id') + '/show-all/" title="' + BP_DTheme.show_all_comments + '">' + BP_DTheme.show_x_comments.replace( '%d', comment_count ) + '</a></li>' );
				}
			}
		});

	});
}

or you can put the following php code in your bp-custom.php/functions.php

function buddydev_override_legacy_theme_hide_comments_js() {
	?>
<script type="text/javascript">
function bp_legacy_theme_hide_comments() {
	var comments_divs = jq('div.activity-comments'),
		parent_li, comment_lis, comment_count;
	
		var max_show = 2;
	
	if ( !comments_divs.length ) {
		return false;
	}

	comments_divs.each( function() {
		if ( jq(this).children('ul').children('li').length < max_show ) {
			return;
		}

		comments_div = jq(this);
		parent_li = comments_div.parents('#activity-stream > li');
		comment_lis = jq(this).children('ul').children('li');
		comment_count = ' ';

		if ( jq('#' + parent_li.attr('id') + ' a.acomment-reply span').length ) {
			comment_count = jq('#' + parent_li.attr('id') + ' a.acomment-reply span').html();
		}

		comment_lis.each( function(i) {
			/* Show the latest 5 root comments */
			if ( i < comment_lis.length - max_show ) {
				jq(this).addClass('hidden');
				jq(this).toggle();

				if ( !i ) {
					jq(this).before( '<li class="show-all"><a href="#' + parent_li.attr('id') + '/show-all/" title="' + BP_DTheme.show_all_comments + '">' + BP_DTheme.show_x_comments.replace( '%d', comment_count ) + '</a></li>' );
				}
			}
		});

	});
}

</script>

<?php
	
}
add_action( 'bp_after_activity_loop', 'buddydev_override_legacy_theme_hide_comments_js' );

Both will work. you can change the max_show to any value. Hope that helps.

Now, there is a “Custom CSS” section in my Theme. Will pasting the modified code there work?

I’m not sure give it a try.

It looks like an issue with your theme.
To confirm – try switching to a WP theme like 2015 and see if the problem remains.

@konberg you probably did not create the child theme properly. Try pasting that code directly in “style.css” of your active theme and see if it works. Don’t paste it in child theme first.

I tested the code from my end and it worked.

It’s also likely that your web browser has cached your website. Try clearing the cache, restart your browser, and see if you notice the changes. If that does not work try visiting the website from another web browser such IE, Google Chrome, Firefox etc. You can even use a different computer to do so.

Unfortunately, this code did not work at all 🙁

Likely you’ll need to change the selector #buddypress .standard-form div.radio div label so that it’s appropriate for the theme you’re using.

…which I have uploaded to the root of the buddpress folder

It should go in the root of the plugins folder.

bp-custom.php

@RafVin Here’s how to hide “All Members” tab with CSS.

Find a file called “style.css” in the wordpress active theme, add the code below and re-upload the file.

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li.selected a {
    display: none !important;
}

Warning! When you update your theme, you’ll loose these CSS changes so try doing this in a child theme if you’d like to retain the changes when you update your theme.

Showing custom tasks under personal? Well that requires some custom PHP coding or probably a plugin. Hopefully, someone will help you with this.

@konberg find a file called “style.css” in the wordpress active theme, add the code below and reupload the file.

#buddypress .standard-form div.radio div label {
    text-transform: lowercase;
}

Warning! When you update your theme, you’ll loose these CSS changes so try doing this in a child theme if you’d like to retain the changes when you update your theme.

Let me know if that works.

I’m not sure what you mean by the “Top Tab Recipe”. If your theme is adding a custom post type, then you need to register that post type in order for it to populate the activity stream, and the user profile activity. BP should do exactly what you are looking to do once you do that: https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/post-types-activities/ Maybe your theme is doing this for you already if you are seeing activity generated when you post a recipe in the custom post type area.

Your alternative idea in the last paragraph would also certainly work. You don’t need multisite for that. Make every member of your community an Author on the main site: everything they publish will appear in the Custom Post Type “Recipes” archive, along with all the posts appearing on each users profile: this is their customized space, particularly once header profile images launch in BP 2.4. This would also give you more control over the experience. You could create a publishing checklist to make sure all the recipes are categories and tagged appropriately: https://github.com/danielbachhuber/Post-Checklist

Members need to be logged in before they can send a PM.
If you’d like to provide a user / pw, somebody might take a closer look.

You’re using a custom theme – does its member-header.php include
do_action( 'template_notices' ); ?
If not, the feedback messages will not appear.

i’ve discussed this with the theme creators and was told it was an issue with the plugin.

Try switching to a WP theme like 2015.
Do the warnings stop appearing?
If so, then the problem is caused by something in your preferred theme.
