hi @umagokhale,

thank you for this sharing ! 😉

How about adding some of these tips to the BP codex perhaps?

If you are going to leave links to your site please check those links are correct, also I would advise that you turn off PHP error reporting on a production server it’s really not very smart to announce to the world your server paths.

@chouf1 Ah right wasn’t aware of that prohibition on adding tips and code snippets, last time I looked there were a few. As long as they follow some form of best practise they ought to be ok.

On this basis “nor to learn how to customize it.” then to codex BP loops will need to be removed as they are technically customizations.

@umagokhale: hello, was wondering for last few days about the same, till now no luck. The code you provided is not working on my page. The page is not live yet so can not provide the link.

@ubernaut: Thank you very much for your response, What information do I need to provide you to check what is the issue ?

I made a new file with the name bp-custom.php with this code

<?php
// Code for: Don’t record activity by the site admins or show them as recently active
function my_admin_stealth_mode(){
if ( is_site_admin() ) {
global $bp;
remove_action(’wp_head’,’bp_core_record_activity’);
delete_user_meta($bp->loggedin_user->id, ’last_activity’);
}
}
add_action(’init’,’my_admin_stealth_mode’);
//Code for: Don’t record activity for a user or show them as recently active
function my_user_stealth_mode(){
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
if(is_user_logged_in()) {
if(’admin’ == $current_user->user_login) {
remove_action(’wp_head’,’bp_core_record_activity’);
delete_user_meta($current_user->ID, ’last_activity’);
}
}
}
add_action(’init’,’my_user_stealth_mode’);
?>

and placed it in plugin folder of the wp installation. It is not giving any error but admin activity is showing in the activity. One more thing I need to know, whether it will remove previous activity as well or not ? and do I need to change the account name to admin ?
Thanks a ton in advance.

@ubernaut: Thank you again for your prompt response, I tried this earlier but it this one is also not working, if I am not wrong then it must be the code provided on Brajesh Singh’s blog, buddydev. I am using Frisco Child theme for Buddypress, I tried placing both the codes in function-custom.php and as mentioned in plugins folder as well,but didn’t succeeded. :-(. Please help, what to do. I need to make the website live.

@ubernaut: yes, I did the same with the said parameters all correct, as I am using frisco theme then I can do the same thing by putting the code in function-custom.php. First I tried the bp-custom.php (placed in plugin folder) option , that didn’t worked out for me, so I tried the later, but that didn’t worked either. 🙁

@ubernaut: No problem, thank you very much. At least you tried to help. 🙂

there’s probably a term you can swap for is_site_admin() but i don’t know what it is, sorry.

this code is outdated and ineffecitve as of buddypress 2.0.2.
