BuddyPress.org

Check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/ to start off.

Sometimes emails end up in spam or junk directories/folders….

Some web-hosting providers might require you to install a wordpress plugin such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/ and/or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

wp-mail-smtp also has a useful debug feature and more settings…

Not a bug. It matches exactly how they work in WordPress posts. I think we’d need a good argument to change the behaviour.

@jmk10276 in buddypress 1.6 their will be Akismet integration built into buddypress, which will help kill the activity spam. https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/

Their isn’t really any spam protection plugins for buddypress available right now though,
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-labs/ is the plugin that the 1.6 core akismet-intergration is based on, but as the plugin page states “all experiments are in beta, and come with no guarantees.”

Another option might be to use a captcha plugin to kill them at the registration page – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/

== It’s set up for subfolders with multisite, not subdomains ==

My bad. But using /blog/ in permalinks with the subfolder structure is even worse. That’s why you need to change permalinks. See why: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network#Permalinks

(2) – You may want to see the Block activity types plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/

@heruputra – as @Mercime said, you can easily do it with CSS, removing the indent styles so that they appear to be seperate comments to the activity.

You could also use this code – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1870#comment:2
changing the depth to 1 will remove the ‘reply’ button on comments.

Check out how feeds are done in BuddyPress itself.

There are two things you need to do:
1) Create an action listener to tell BuddyPress that the URL you’re on is the feed
2) Next, tell BuddyPress what template file to use for the feed and create an activity loop to generate the feed.

For example, to see how BuddyPress generates the sitewide activity feed:

1) BP creates an action listener for the sitewide activity feed here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.3.1/bp-activity/bp-activity-actions.php#L359

2) BP uses the following template file referenced in step 1 to generate the sitewide activity feed:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.3.1/bp-activity/feeds/bp-activity-sitewide-feed.php#L1

See how that file structures the RSS feed? It uses an activity loop (bp_has_activities()) with specific arguments to sitewide activity.

—

To create an unreplied RSS feed, follow the steps above as a guide.

Instead of an activity loop in the RSS feed, you’ll probably need to use a forum topics loop with ‘type=unreplied’ as the argument.

Hope that gives you a few pointers.

Check out how activity RSS feeds are parsed in:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/feeds/

There are a few hooks you could potentially use to add additional content.

If you want to filter the item description, use the “bp_get_activity_feed_item_description” hook available in the bp_get_activity_feed_item_description() function.

Various other filters are available for the item title, etc. in bp-activity-template.php as well.

This is fixed in the trunk version of BuddyPress:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3682

Before anything else, I have updated sidebar-buddypress.php in post above to include necessary script for the register page near bottom of file.
