BuddyPress.org

I can set the size and default image from that article, but I’m still not sure how to display it in an img tag.

With the WordPress header image, you can display the admin header image in an img tag:

<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" />

Is there a Buddypress equivalent for the WordPress function header_image() ?

Thanks @shanebp. We tried this and a few other hooks and still have not been able to get the appropriate activity on the stream.

It does seem like the issue with this mu-plugin solution is that not every bit of activity is getting assigned the site id in the meta data. So the filter ends up filtering out most of the activity we should see. Ultimately we are seeking a way to limit activity stream data to the site you are visiting without using multi-network plugins.

We have a wordpress multisite network with buddypress NOT network activated but only activated on specific subsites.

Do you or anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve our goals?

I guess I mean all of the forums at this url: https://wordpress.org/support/bb-login.php. But the password works fine on BuddyPress. Thanks for responding.

@maelga,

thank you for your interest. But… which plugin do you mean ?

If Buddy Community Stats, consider that messaging in BuddyPress concern firstly friends. When you’re on your profile, you can access to YOUR messages count (separated in send and received). Handling this as a global stat is not relevant to site wide activity.
Imagine a community of hundreds of members where only a handfull of members take heavy contacts. This will increase the counter, but will indicate something absolutely false about you site activity – because it is a private members exchange).
To get this count, you could use Buddy Member stats. But this plugin plays only at the member level, and his counts are not grouped to be shown to site admin.

The aim of both plugins is to provide some basic counts for community members while remaining fast (if possible) and simple, not to bring extensive metrics, graphs or analytic stats about anything happening in BuddyPress. There are probably more sophisticated plugins who can do that.

Thanx Venutius,

I found my fix in this thread:

OK I raised https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6708

Thanks again for your help.

I’ve also tried re-installing WordPress and disabling all other plugins.

Then tried deleting all plug-ins and re-installing WordPress and BuddyPress only, and still the same issue.

How can I make their avatars to sync with buddypress?
I want them to see the avatar they have had for years now in their buddy press profile I am installing.

Currently their avatars show in regular wordpress pages but not on buddypress pages, for example in the profile page or in the activity page.

thank you for your help

The following code…

<?php

// Use this file to customize Buddy Press

// This section changes the default avatar to the picture of a box
// the picture is uploaded into WordPress
add_filter( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav','__return_true' );
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT’, ‘http://www.truesouthernmen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/0307152159-02-300×225.jpg&#8217; );
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT_THUMB’, ‘http://www.truesouthernmen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/0307152159-02-300×225.jpg&#8217; );

?>

Returns this error when loading the page…..
