Solved – BP Group Activity Text Formatting

    @cmsplay

    Line beaks are not appearing properly on the BP Group Activity posts I’ve set up. They look fine before submitting, and then all the paragraphs get stuck together once the post is published..

    Is there a way of stopping return carriages from being corrupted in this way, and, (better still), is there a way to add a TinyMCE Editor to BP Group Activity posts?

    If this does not work, I might have to delete BP Groups altogether and just use bbPress instead.

    Hi @cmsplay,

    You can change the bottom margin of the paragraphs by adding the following style in your theme/child theme:

    .activity-list .activity-item .activity-content p {
        margin-bottom: 24px;  /* Or whatever size you want */
    }

    As for the forums, bbPress is compatible with BuddyPress. See https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

    mercime thank you so! much. IT WORKED! :-))

    Just need to find a way to make the font size in activity posts one size smaller though.

    Not really sure what the difference between BuddyPress Groups with Activity boards and bbPress – from what I’ve read they both seem to be methods to do the same thing and BP Groups uses bbPress for its own fora. Is there a key difference folks?

    Thanks again mercime.

    @cmsplay Glad it worked out for you 😀

    Re font size smaller, just add the following just under themargin-bottom: 24px; :
    font-size: 12px; // or whatever size you want

    In general, the key difference is the focused discussion and engagement found using Group Forums with the bbPress forums. Just like you see here in our support forums. The good thing is that bbPress plugin has the same lead developer and you can be assured of the seamless integration between BuddyPress and bbPress.

    BuddyPress Sitewide/Group Activity streams are automatically generated content on all actions happening sitewide/group like a new member joining the group, member status updates, new forum topics (if bbPress is activated) etc. See https://codex.buddypress.org/administrator-guide/activity-streams/ So while you can , favorite, delete, or comment on each generated activity update, you can see it’s miles different from having a forum in your site.

    I hope that helps you and good luck on your BuddyPress community!
