Exposing every aspect as an option is untenable.
You need to adjust a template file.
The file in question depends on which BP template pack you are using.
Go to wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress > Options and note the setting for the Template Pack option.
If you are using Nouveau, then this is the file:
wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-nouveau\buddypress\activity\index.php

In that file, find this: <?php bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' ); ?>
And change it to this:

<?php 
     if ( ! bp_is_user() ) {
         bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' ); 
     }
?>

Note: it is recommended that you do not edit the template files in the BuddyPress plugin.
Your changes will be wiped out when you update the plugin on a new release.
Instead, create a template overload and then edit that file.
More info re template overloads:.

You can change it yourself through CSS, if you right click on the picture and choose inspect element you can see the name and specifications of the element to change.

Here’s some good links from another forum helper on it.

Otherwise you could probably get help from the Aardvark theme developers or RTmedia.

Your theme’s grimlock-buddypress plugin set style of the BuddyPress select form with no wiggle room for the font-size they set on the select options. Following is a quick fix. You should ask your premium theme author where you should add the style fix as we have no access to the paid theme. The theme author should provide you with free support for the premium theme.

#buddypress .standard-form select {
        padding: .3rem 1.25rem;
}

@chuck141 and what did the theme dev say? As @iamthewebb mentioned above, those do no show up for users who are not logged in. If you change to Twenty Twenty theme, do the buttons still show up when you’re logged out?

> how to get the excerpt from a blog post to appear in the BuddyPress activity stream without displaying the Divi Shortcode.

@angelajean Excerpts of published blog posts do appear in the BP activity stream naturally in any theme, and any blog URL you post in the status update in the activity stream has a very nice excerpt as well, so not sure why you would need a plugin for showing blog excerpts using Divi. .
Unfortunately, Divi’s a premium theme that we don’t have access to so I would have to refer you back to that theme’s support forums where you could ask them why you need to add/buy a plugin to show a normal blog excerpt in your activity stream.

Cannot say with just your screenshot whether it’s the theme or the plugin that’s causing the issue. Here are some links which can help you identify the CSS selector to adjust line-height and/or margin of your select fields.

Those buttons don’t normally appear for logged out users. Have you tested with the default themes?

@robbyyy21 You will have to override your theme’s styles on the input fields via child theme or Additional CSS field (if any) in your theme

@swalky it might be some 3rd party js specific conflict or theme js itself. You can follow the following steps to isolate the issue

Hi

Please revert this

I basically reordered the options in the php file. and It worked to some extent.

and put the following code in your bp-custom.php file or child theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'bp_nouveau_get_groups_filters', function( $filters, $context ){
	return array_reverse( $filters, true );
},10,2);

I hope this will help you.

function ps_mine_activity_args( $args ) {
 
    if ( ! bp_is_activity_directory() || ! is_user_logged_in() || ! empty( $args['scope'] ) ) {
        return $args;
    }
 
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
 
    $args['user_id'] = $user_id;
 
    return $args;

}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'ps_mine_activity_args' );

Please put the above given code in your bp-custom.php file or in your child theme’s functions.php file.

Hope that it will show only logged-in user’s activities in the sitewide activity stream.

Hi shonty

Unfortunately I have the same problem with the theme I’m currently using but I tested my theory by switching to the Twenty Twenty theme and then changing to Nouveau and sure enough, the filter is showing correctly.

I’m going to need to find a better fix myself so will continue to investigate further and report back.
