BuddyPress.org

OK I’ve done a little further investigation and this seems to be an issue with Buddypress Legacy only.

If your theme allows you to switch to Buddypress Nouveau (go to Settings – Buddypress – Options) this should fix the problem.

If for some reason you can’t switch to Nouveau, the clue is in the difference between the two versions but I’ll need to do some further investigation to see exactly what’s happening and/or how to make the filter work as expected in Buddypress Legacy.

I’ve tried a fresh install of Buddypress with a standard wordpress theme and can’t replicate your issue.

The following code still works for both the bp legacy and bp nouveau templates.

add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' );

Perhaps you have something else bugging it somewhere in your theme or plugins.

Otherwise it might be best just hiding it through plain css for the time being, e.g.

.buddypress #activity-mentions-personal-li,
.buddypress #activity-mentions,
.buddypress .user-nicename {
	display:none!important
}

Hi Aditideo,

If you change to the twenty twenty theme or similar do you then see the toolbar and notification bar?

Hello i have the same problem

I use “Blake” theme

if I go to the default theme, the problem persists

and disabling plugins is the same

You can use the following codes inside child theme functions.php or using code snippet plugin.

You’d have to ask your theme developer, Buddypress doesn’t have dark mode nor slideshow images.

Perhaps there’s something your theme hiding it or maybe you haven’t created the pages for the components yet?

Register and Activation Pages

Start with the basics, did you change your theme to see if the issue is theme based?

Did you turn off your other plugins to see if its another plugin is interfering?

There are two different notification pages inside the members area, are they both blank?

you-website.com/members/user-name/notifications/
you-website.com/members/user-name/notifications/read/

Go through each step and narrow down your search to locate the bug.

You can either find where the sidebar is being called in your theme, override the buddypress group templates to not have the sidebar or just hide it through plain css.

.buddypress.sd .sd-sidebar {
    display:none
}
.buddypress.sd .entry-content.sidebar-active {
    width: 100%;
}

I assume you’re talking about the group listing when referring to ‘clicking the group’. In that case I believe you’d want to customize the groups/groups-loop.php template by copying it into your own theme and conditionally remove the links if the current user isn’t a member.
Here’s docs on the template hierarchy in Buddypress – https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/

That should allow you to control that list of groups and suppress links depending on role.
As to the request access form if for some off chance they make it to that screen, if you want to suppress the form with a blocking message when they’re a member you can use the same template replacement concept to replace groups/single/home.php

Or potentially this plugin by @imath may be more appropriate as you could just make the groups private/hidden;

@clancel groups pages already do the same eg https://demo.buddyxtheme.com/groups/

I also need this, and this code also does not work, I add it to the Functions.php theme function file, right?

@bluesweet it will depend upon your theme.
You can inspect the element and can hide with custom CSS.

Your piece of code have saved my day. Thank you so much!

I guess you have solved your problem, after four months. Basically, you have to copy the memmbers/index.php, either from bp-legacy or bp-noveau (depending which you are using), to your theme buddypress/members directory, and modify the order of the options in the select element.
