@hypnoscribe @milenushka To be honest I deactivated and uninstalled Buddypress a few weeks ago. There was no response to this query and given it’s a key part of the BP experience I found that quite disappointing. Although at the same time, I do acknowledge the plugin is maintained by volunteers. I’m now using a different plugin for a community feature which expands on the default WordPress user accounts, and links nicely with the big social networks for good exposure. Sorry I can’t help in resolving this.

Hi @shanebp,

Thank you for your help. I found this article by @boonebgorges about adding the comments to custom posts to the activity feed. I actually have that working already, but the text is generic- “user commented on a post”. Is there a way to add a specific slug here too?

  function bbg_record_my_custom_post_type_comments( $post_types ) {
      $post_types[] = 'dolphin'; // Add your custom post type name to the array. If you have a post type called 'dolphin' then you have a weird plugin
      return $post_types;
  }
  add_filter( 'bp_blogs_record_comment_post_types', 'bbg_record_my_custom_post_type_comments' );

With kind regards,

M

Thanks for the quick answer.

That’s how you change the user NAME only.
Wordpress has the option to SHOW PUBLIC NAME of specific user and it give you a drop down with all the variables:

• Name Lastmame
• Name
• username
• Lastname Name

Is there a way to use this option in the front end?

Hello Henrywright,

Thanks you for your response.
I tried what you advise me, nothing works 🙁

When I sent with WP-Mail-SMTP, it’s what I have. Maybe that can give you more informations:

The result was:
bool(true)

Hi again,

I just found the problem and wasn’t the 4.0.1 version of WordPress.

Just for your info see here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-search-engine-visibility-causes-issue-in-displaying-bbpress-in-bp-activity/

Thank you!

Thank you @shanebp for checking it

In my case the problem occurred after updating WordPress to the 4.0.1. Everything was ok before that.

I didn’t change anything (e.g. plugins).

Any advice about what I could check?

Lol, probs for knowing many Dutch soccer players.

Well actually, the site I’m working on has 127 members and many of them have ‘van’, ‘de’, or ‘van der’ in their last name and the sorting is almost all fine. There are a few mis matches but that’s probably our own fault due to incorrect registration in the WordPress backend.

It also goes wrong when members have a double first name but I guess that also depends on the registration in the backend. But I still have to check this.
