@kristian86 I’ve altered the title of this topic from “Altering the activity stream” to “Altering the activity stream page” per your post above. Major difference.
If you’re using a child theme of the bp-default theme, copy https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php , make revisions and upload file into wp-content/themes/yourchildthemefolder/activity/ folder. Some amount of HTML/CSS/PHP required.
Sorted the problem it wasnt to do with the upgrade rather to do with the configuration of the bb-config file i didnt know there was a seperate config file for contacting the database i would have thought the wp-config file should suffice for db connection, i had changed some details in the database name and user which i was aware of hence i made the changes in wp-config, i was about to scrap the whole lot and start again when i noticed the bp-config just saved bout 8 hours of work woop woop.
Its a newer version yes well the old db was on debian lenny the new one is debian squeeze, i have tested the server it appears to be working fine, ill test your theory ill use another server with the backups and old version, thanks for the point of view i hadnt thought of that 
Is your new DB the same version as your backup ?
If reinstalled linux, you probably also reinstalled php and perhaps a new apache engine too ?
First thing to do in such a brand new server reinstall is to test the server itself .
Did you ?
Do you know this plugin ? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddybar-widget/
Maybe for inspiration at least… 
This is working as intended. Please create an enhancement ticket on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org, using your username and password from this site, explaining this and why you think it should be changed.
No need to crosspost on both here and on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4458 — we read both.
I would say generally that whatever the behaviour should be, it ought to be consistent.
Ooh. Tricky. Does setting the attribute via javascript work?
If you submit this as an enhancement ticket to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org, using your username and password from this site, we can change the template in BuddyPress 1.7 for you. If you can attach a patch, that would be even better
Hi
http://polkadot-developers.co.za/ specialized in WordPress and Buddypress.
OK. Site is back. Upgraded WordPress. “Restore” did bring back BP 1.5.6. per above Not sure at this point if I will attempt BP upgrade to 1.6.1. But at least the site is working again.
Good guidance from portion of this forum focused on installation problems which reminded me to “activate” BP and then gave access to BP default theme!
Again, thanks for help.
Hello,
there is probably an error in the WP’s spanish translation. Or you use a plugin witch have an old version of tyniMCE.
Are your language settings correct ? View in wp-content and in the dashboard.
Are your plugins compatible with WP 3.4.1 and BP 1.5/1.6 ?
Debug by deactivating them exept BP and use bp-default theme during the tests.
If you find nothing, you have to search in plugins languages .po file with a text editor like notepad+ and track all special caracters and all html tags you will find in it. Sometimes > or < are forgotten by translators…
Begin pehaps by Achievements as you mentionned it in relation with profiles…
You can also try to reactivate the old BP admin bar to see if that you have the same error.
Put this in a bp-custom.php file into your plugins folder:
`add_filter( ‘bp_use_wp_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’ );`
You could use this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in
So on the page have this for example:
` <?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
//show other content or no content
} else {
//show content
}
?>`
Also you could just wrap entire page in:
` `
I would love to determine if anything I’m using is causing the problem, but we are using a very large theme framework and child theme that I have been developing for a good 4 months. For now we are just going to keep everything on one tab since we are pressed for time. I will keep this tread bookmarked in case I am able to determine where the problem lies.
@tdano per error, it’s due to the user registration aide plugin. In that plugin’s defense, there’s nothing in the plugin’s docs which state it is compatible with BuddyPress at all. Feel free to contact plugin dev at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-registration-aide/ Support tab
== I attempted to install a BP compatible theme ==
@bruce-hazard I see that you’re using Elbee Elgee theme which needs to be updated fpr BP 1.6 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-update-5?replies=18
If you find you need to modify core, then please report tickets to Trac about what you do, and why. At the least, we can add more actions or filters so you can implement your changes without having to modify the core files, and at best, it could be a change that other people might find beneficial that we could consider adding to core.
I cannot recreate your “display name” problem. Have you checked if it is being caused by any other plugin, or a theme, or any of the changes you’ve made to core?
On a side note, I don’t mind editing the buddypress core to keep this from happening. We keep notes on core modifications and update them on each new version of buddypress.
It looks like the problem if there is one is in xprofile_screen_edit_profile() function on bp-xprofile-screens.php.
1) Yes! Lots of development discussion happening on http://bpdevel.wordpress.com if you want to get involved, or just to read and stay up to date.
2) We only officially started work on 1.7 this last Wednesday (15th). Several months away.
This is what it says in the dashboard at the top.
You’ll need to activate a BuddyPress-compatible theme to take advantage of all of BuddyPress’s features. We’ve bundled a default theme, but you can always install some other compatible themes or update your existing WordPress theme.
I tried to do what you said but sadly it didn’t work.
They will not work together. They both override the theme when viewing on mobile. WP Touch does not have the template files for viewing BP content. BP Mobile shows any page you want you just need to add the pages to your mobile menu in the WordPress admin.
