Actually I was trying to keep it simple and I don’t know what theme you are using.

Copy footer.php from the parent theme directory to your new child theme direcory and change that line to what you want.

If you are using bp-default then that line is https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.8.1/bp-themes/bp-default/footer.php#L15 – just replace the text between the paragraph tags with a simple text line

( or even the whole line as the <p> </p> tags arent’t critical but help with styling )

@barboncaves

The main point of a child theme is that you can upgrade the parent theme and still keep your edits.

To create a child theme of bp default you need to create a new directory ie: /wp-content/themes/bp-child/

In that directory you need to create a style.css simple text file with a header at the top of the file ie:

/*
Theme Name: A BP Child Thene
Theme URI: http://buddypress.org
Description: A Buddypress child theme.
Version: 0.1
Author: Me
Author URI: http://example.com
Template: bp-default
Tags: buddypress
*/

The Template: bit is important. The /* and the */ ‘comment out’ what is between them so the browser doesn’t try to interpret as css.

After the header comes the style rules and properties such as were quoted above.

To follow through with an example from your other question using the bp-default theme.

First you need to copy footer.php from /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/ into the /bp-child/ theme directory.

In that file should be the following line 15:
<p><?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by <a href="%1$s">WordPress</a> and <a href="%2$s">BuddyPress</a>.', 'buddypress' ), 'http://wordpress.org', 'http://buddypress.org' ); ?></p>

Replace that line with something like:

<p>© <?php echo date('Y'); ?><a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ) ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home">
					<?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a>. </p>

Put what you want between the paragraph tags ( <p> and </p> ) – it could just be simple text. Use a text editor not a word-processor…

Then preview the bp-child theme and the footer text should have been changed.

I would suggest backing up your files and database before attempting to edit files….

Dears,

I have the same problem, registration is not working! No reaction at all after pressing the submit button (just the password fields become empty).
I did a fresh installation with only Buddypress installed & still the same problem! Anybody knows why?

Thanks in advance
Hope

today I did reinstall WP according this manual https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended
but the problem is the same …

maybe it is problem with database.

The easiest way would be to enable multi site and then use BuddyPress on a separate blog. Multi site uses same database.

It is either a plugin or a theme issue. Can you deactivate all plugins besides WordPress and BuddyPress and then if it is still there switch theme to twenty twelve.

@dsvay

Can you get into the site with ftp or a file navigator/explorer in your web hosting control panel?

Navigate to /wp-content/plugins/bp-group-tinychat-pro-1.2.1/ then delete or rename the /bp-group-tinychat-pro-1.2.1/ folder.

This should cause WordPress to de-activate the plugin.

@damien990

Can you get into the site with ftp or a file navigator/explorer in your web hosting control panel? Navigate to the bp-privacy folder ( /wp-content/plugins/bp-privacy/ ) and rename or delete it.

This should cause WordPress to de-activate the plugin.

@barboncaves
Have you tried disabling Show Avatars in WordPress Admin > Settings > Discussion? ( – the avatars section is lower down the page )

You might need to customise your child theme’s style sheet. Using bp-default the following might be useful:

.activity-list .activity-content {
    margin-left: 25px;
}

I haven’t checked anywhere else…

getting a freelancer from the buddypress/wordpress job board or odesk to do this would cost little (my guess $50-65) as long as you know exactly what you want done

@mercime, thank you for your help in trying to resolve this. I’m using WordPress 3.7.1 on a single site install with BuddyPress 1.8.1. I’m running WP in a root domain on a VPS. I’ve disabled all plugins except for BuddyPress. The first time I try to login via the sidebar it fails with the cookies error I referenced previously, and then prompts me to login via the center WP login panel. If I then try to log in there, or hit the back button and try again at the side panel, it logs in just fine.

@rameshkanakambr the Activity Plus plugin is specifically for the activity stream pages. Best place to get support for additional functions is at the plugin’s suppoprt forum at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-activity-plus

Do you mean something like Achievements by Paul Gibbs?

Hi there,
I know this issue was fixed for some people, but I still have this problem
I have BP 1.8.1 and WP 3.7.1

I checked the status of the patch here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4573
and using this modification I was able to fix the problem on the activity time, but the problem on comment time not yet.
When I write a status update, after apply the patch the activity time render fine, but if I write something in the comment of the activity, the time say that the comment was 4 hours ago.

The patch that I used, supposedly is already included in the latest version of BP, but it is not 🙁
Anyone know how can I apply any fix to the comments too?

Mine does the same thing. At the WP login, it states “ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.” However, if I go back to the BuddyPress login and use the same username and password it then logs in just fine.

Those emails are already sent by either WordPress or BuddyPress.

In BP, on your profile page there is a tab called ‘Settings’.
There you will find options to receive or not receive emails.

WP gives you the option to send emails re new post comments.
