Activity stream updates support oEmbed for popular sites you can see supported sites here https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds#Okay.2C_So_What_Sites_Can_I_Embed_From.3F

If you want direct uploading on the activity stream there are a few plugin choices that exist. I think one is called RTMedia and there is also one from BuddyBoss.

With regard to activity posts going to the top on older items. I can’t help you with that at the moment, maybe someone else will come along.

Hi,
if nothing made sense of what you already read, i doubt i can help you as i would certainly repeat the same things… 😉

Nickname doesn’t exist in WordPress. On a WP install, a new user is only asked for a username(generally it’s a nickname like creatorsite), an email and a password. That’s all!

By convinience, a WP user can add his first and last name to his profile, but it is not an obligation.

When BP is added, he adds a mandatory field called Name which can by filled with first and last name or whatever else. Only the field is mandatory, not the content. And you can change his nale to what you want. Eg. Your dogs name. An other difference for this field is that it let you enter uppercase and space, what the WP username field doesn’t allow. BP use this field to synchronize members from WP and those registered once BP is activated.

Users are handled by WP, not by BP which is only a plugin, btw. both use the same DB user table.

Here a complete description of WP’s database, and read attentively the part related to wp_users.

Nickname = username. Your question is related to username vs. display_name.

Read here for a solution.

ps: your picture mention that nicknames can eliminate a security issue. Which one exactly ? i’m curious to learn how over 200 000 active BP sites are threatened by hackers seaking for usernames in 2016 !

Hi @angrygerman

FYI

will the buddypress be compatible with php7?

Hi @gilbert2015,

what do you call top posts ? Blog posts or aupdates ?

You can add a widget area to your homepage template and use such a widget there.They’re many on the plugin repo, if those shiped with WP are not enough.

It does, of course. But you haven’t to convience me. 😉 Another option could be to use BP Group Blog.

hi @javierllinas

You can use something like this (add to bp-custom.php or child theme’s functions.php)

BuddyPress usermenu usage: remove_node(‘$id-$nav-$subnav’)

/* remove items from Toolbar Usermenu (top-right) */
function bpex_admin_bar_remove_this(){
global $wp_admin_bar;
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-forums-favorites');
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-messages-starred');
        // etc...
}
add_action('wp_before_admin_bar_render','bpex_admin_bar_remove_this');

Reference

You’re right, i never read what i send to users asking for help.

Haven’t you seen “Support” on the plugin page ? Can’t you click ? You definitely not read !
Let’s try this:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-xprofile-wp-user-sync

before closing this unrelated to BuddyPress topic.

At the moment, when I click on “Groups” he redirect to /members/(name)/groups

That is the path used for “Groups” button on a profile.

If you use the WP Menu builder, you can add “Groups” to your theme menu. In this case, it will lead to the Groups directory (which is what you want to do).

To see BuddyPress options for menus, you have to activate “buddypress” in the screen options first.

BuddyPress Links in WordPress Menus

What else ?

Magic start here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=ip

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/register-ip-multisite

Restricted Site Access

couple of wordpress plugins which would allow registration from a single IP…search them

Sorry for you!… When it is so easy to avoid such situation by reading BP’s Codex…

BuddyPress Links in WordPress Menus

You can use BuddyPress Member Types Generator plugin to create members types.

Or use BuddyPress Member Types plugin, they have a bit different functionality. The 2nd one seems to have more features.

Different “Types of feeds” is not easily achievable, only with custom coding.

Custom login and registration pages – lots of solutions for custom login. Custom registration page is limited to BuddyPress, there is no plugin, that can do anything with it. You will need to dive into templating and custom styles.

The reason that it doesn’t work – it requires to be placed on a user BuddyPress profile page.
It uses bp_displayed_user_domain() function to generate the link, as there is no user on your custom page (it’s not BuddyPress or even WordPress) – bp_get_members_component_link function produces nothing.

There is no easy fix. You will need to create that link manually by retrieving somehow user domain (link to profile) of a desired user.

So far BuddyPress doesn’t support this out of the box and I don’t know such plugins.
But this is a good feature request, and I’m pretty sure that this will implemented eventually. Because we already have similar thing on Activity directory page.

Here is the ticket that I created with this request.

PS Update to the latest BuddyPress 2.6.1.1 🙂

I personally use Hueman theme on my site, and it has an ability to redefine or clean the footer credits: http://take.ms/8y2CP
And it looks good with BuddyPress, and has interesting settings for WordPress itself.

The content property is run through KSES and the permitted HTML tags are set here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/bp-activity/bp-activity-filters.php#L206

You COULD unhook this function from the filter (see: lines 16-25, same file) but I would not recommend it, because other people will use this to inject malicious markup. Instead, consider using the bp_activity_filter_kses filter and whitelist a few extra HTML funtions that you need (i.e. just the paragraph tag).
