What is BuddyBoss Wall?

[MIKE]

What will this plugin do for my BuddyPress site? What capabilities does it give me? How do I implement it?

[Alyssa]

@rmsegroves Welcome to the BuddyBoss community! The BuddyBoss Wall allows for interactive wall posting (just like Facebook). The ability to like activities. As well as view the news feed of all your friends. This plugin edits the default feed and provides activity only related to you and your friends. Simply purchase the plugin and download from BuddyBoss.com then upload to your site and enable it. No additional settings required.

I’m using the latest plugin and theme.

The entire site activity shows up fine at:
http://mysite.com/activity/

However, when I click the link entitled “My Friends”, I’m getting a 404 instead of the stream that I expected at: http://mysite.com/members/member-name/activity/friends/

@appalachian do you experience the same issue when you switch to the 2015 WP theme?

[David]

@appalachian @tjchester yes this happens to me too. I have the Boss theme installed. On my global activity, http://hope361.com/activity, the Friends tab and Mentions tab both go to a 404 error.

Friends tab points to http://hope361.com/community/andymcdonald/activity/friends/ and “Mentions” points to http://hope361.com/community/andymcdonald/activity/mentions/. When you click on Likes it points to http://hope361.com/community/andymcdonald/activity/favorites/.

Do I need to go into the boss code and change the Friends tab to redirect to /news-feed instead of /friends?

[David]

For now I went to the file buddypress/activity/index.php and changed the “Friends” code to manually direct to /news-feed.

<li id="activity-friends"><a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_activity_slug() . '/news-feed/'; ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'The activity of my friends only.', 'boss' ); ?>"><?php printf( __( 'My Friends <span>%s</span>', 'boss' ), bp_get_total_friend_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ); ?></a></li>

@appalachian @andy8mcdonalds are you redirected to a new page or does the 404 not found appear under the tab? You may want to check for ajax plugin conflicts. Disable plugins to determine if there is a conflict.

Thanks TJ. We love the themes… & Boss. and so much in development on our end also, but we seem to be getting past these issues. Thanks again! I did such a manual modification and not sure if it’s been corrected in the new theme, but I’ll look out for it, for now, the issue was solved. Thanks!

Thanks for the update Tony!
