I’ve noticed when folks post in a forums on our BP site, and it loads on our “Site Wide Activity” some of the code gets posted with it.

For instance one of the posts that just was seen by everyone on the site wide activity link was

“[p]Good suggestion Mike. We definitely need to tap into the local chapters for exposure (National Association of Church Business Administrators).[/p]”

Including the p’s.

Any idea what could be causing this?

I’m running WPMU 2.7.1 and BP Trunk

Bump

Yes, I’ve got this problem as well.

Forum posts in Side wide activity include the [p] [/p] code like Will says.

Does anyone have a clue where the problem lies?

Everything else works fine, including all other side wide activities.

I’m using WPMU 2.7.1 BP 1.0.1 and BBPress 1.0-alpha-6

Just realised the testbp.org site also has this bug – html tags are displayed in the forum excerpts of the side-wide activity widget.

If its tough to fix, is there a way to stop the forum activity from showing in the site-wide activity widget?

There are several threads already about this. The answer is, is that it is a known issue and last I knew Andy Peatling had plans to fix this.

thanks Paul! I’d searched for previous threads honestly but didn’t find anything.

[@willpcg Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

Thanks, I had looked around too and didn’t see anything.

Is it in trac? Discussing it here is great. Everybody knows it’s an issue and perhaps someone will track down the bug and submit a ticket with a patch. It doesn’t get remembered if it’s not in trac.

Upgrade to BuddyPress 1.0.2, and read this post: https://buddypress.org/blog/news/buddypress-102/#comment-1173.

It will not correct any existing items in your Site Wide Activity, but new items will be fixed.
