Actually scratch that last post – it’s now displaying the avatars as the WordPress avatars in the back-end but not the front end

In that case, I think we’ve just crossed that bridge hehe. i.e the next step will be to replace all instances of bp_core_fetch_avatar() in your front-end templates with get_avatar()

Humm.. not helpful then. In that case we might have to try doing it manually. Perhaps try disabling the filter which replaces the WP avatars with BP avatars. For example, add this to your theme’s functions.php file:

remove_filter( 'get_avatar', 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter', 10, 5 );

I think you can disable the Gravatar fallback as well with this:

add_filter( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true' );

If that doesn’t work, you may need to replace all occurrences of bp_core_fetch_avatar() with get_avatar() in your templates. But cross that bridge when you come to it.

Hi @multimartin

I just tried searching the WP plugin repo and came across an old plugin that may be of some help. Take a look at Remove Avatars

Arigato @yoosuke san,

show results from only activity stream.

Stunning. It works for me. Did you tried with a specific word contained in a post, preferably one from the end of a long post, to be sure it is not registered as activity except ? Have you some plugins installed ? Deactivate all and see if you get a difference.

Also, activate the wordpress search widget and see if you get better result.
appearence > widgets, select “Search” – a search form for your site.

When BP is on, they’re several search module. So you can search members on the members directory ou groups on the group directory.

Side wide activities are some how generic, so the swa activity doesn’t contain his own search form, but only a select filter which let’s you show result by type.

I would be grateful is someone could suggest why the file is not contained within the folder.

Once upon a time, after very looooooong and ice cold winter, a wolf came out of the deep forest. He was so hungry that he eat the index file. Miam ! 🙄

Do not thank me. My pleasure. 😉

If you’re looking in buddypress/bp-activity/ folder, it’s normal that it doesn’t contain a index.php file. It’s a core folder who works internaly.

The index you search is in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/index.php
Note: this file is only the index for activities.

If it is not the case, don’t worry. Reload a fresh copy and pray that it is not corrupted during the FTP transfer.

Don’t know which tutorial you follow, but if you learn BP, read absolutely the Codex.
If, as i guess, your concern is theming, see here:

@fabius219,

bp_core_general_settings_before_submit is not a function but an action hook.

Hi @laxmanvel,

see here if this can help you a little.

Hi @laxmanvel

This functionality isn’t available in BuddyPress by default. You may have some luck searching the WP plugin repo although I haven’t seen anything like this myself. Let us know if you find anything!

I am assuming that you have bbpress installed on your wordpress. There are some bbpress widgets available for this purpose. Appearance>Widgets – look for those starting with (bbpress)
