BuddyPress.org

.. after activating BP? In my last wordpress site I saw a widegt like that but now can’t recall where I got it from. I assume it should come with BP right out of the box, or am i confusing it with something else? I need a form to search for members based on their username. How can I get that? Thank you.

I administer two social sites and both are asking of there is any way to remove notifications of people joining the group and who made friends with whom… It is plugging up the group notification area and users are getting annoyed.
I have searched for appropriate plugins and found a few but all are depreciated and mess up the site.
Wordpress 4.7.3
Buddypress 2.8.2
Bbpress 2.5.12

I found a code hack for the functions.php but it can’t be used in the child “guideline” theme. When added to the child, I lose admin pages. code snippet below

// Remove (hide) various activities from streams.
function my_hidden_activities($a, $activities) {
//if admin we want to know
//if (is_site_admin())
// return $activities;

$nothanks = array(“new_blog_post”, “created_group”, “joined_group”, “new_member”, “friendship_created”, “activity_liked”);

foreach ($activities->activities as $key => $activity) {
if (in_array($activity->type, $nothanks, true)) {
unset($activities->activities[$key]);
$activities->activity_count = $activities->activity_count-1;
$activities->total_activity_count = $activities->total_activity_count-1;
$activities->pag_num = $activities->pag_num -1;
}
}

// Renumber the array keys to account for missing items.
$activities_new = array_values( $activities->activities );
$activities->activities = $activities_new;

return $activities;
}
add_action(‘bp_has_activities’, ‘my_hidden_activities’, 10, 2 );

The author suggests adding to functions.php but without using the child theme the code would be lost after an update. It also broke the site… Even after reverting the changes, the menu and page formatting was gone.

Is there any way that is up to date to filter what activity is reported on the group wall?

Hi there, this is a WordPress multisite set up.

It’s running the socialize theme purchased from GhostPool. The latest buddypress and bbPress is installed.

The issue I am facing is if a user uploads a cover image on his/her profile or on a group (Created by him/her), it shows up but it is not staying there. Others can’t see it and once the page itself is reloaded the Cover image disappears.I’ve spoken to GhostPool and theyve tried various things and have advised that the issue is with buddypress. We’ve disabled the plugins and reinstalled but it’s still not working. The site URL is https://inspiraonline.uk/inspirasocial/

I am a Greek who is building a Russian language web site in WordPress.

the site works very good in Russian language.

The login for every one is three Russian words but in the profile page of BuddyPress after the photo

shows @[ many ascii chars]   if it is in English shows @userlogin.

It is ok for me just to show the 1st Russian word.

I am using the plugin
WordPress Special Characters in Usernames
and I made user_login to 255, user_nicename to 255 , display_name to 255

any idea ?

What’s up Buddypress people?

I’m a former BBS sysop. Are any of you former or current BBS people?

I got into BBSign in the early 90s, and I’m still into it somewhat, but a couple years ago, a friend of mine recommended ditching the 80 column ascii scene for WordPress. I fought it for a while, but I eventually listened.

So, I’m now a Buddypress “Sysop.” That makes sense if you know where I’m coming from. I do it for fun, not business. I love WP & BP.

One thing that I couldn’t help but notice, is that people are extremely ungrateful when requesting help with their WP/BP projects. People offer help for free, and then people act like it’s your fault when “Client is unhappy!” or some crap like that. Like you owe them something. Such nonsense!

WP & BP should start a new slogan: “Write it yourself, ask politely, or kiss it!”

Thanks very much to all the people who have taken the time to help other people with their goals, even though you probably shouldn’t bother if their goals are “business related” or if they acted like asses when you offered to help for free.

If you’re a BP contributor, or an enthusiast like me, be advised that this is modern BBSing at it’s best, especially when combined with bbpress (or other, even better forum software.)

It’s ok to talk to each other like humans. That’s what my BP site is all about. Businesses
can kiss it.

Peace brothers.
