Posts on the homepage…

[Martin]

Hello,

I wondered if it is possible to have the full text of posts displayed on the homepage as opposed to just the summary?

Many thanks,
Martin

@multimartin absolutely! First child theme tutorial if you are not using one: https://www.buddyboss.com/child-themes/

Copy content.php from your parent theme to child theme then edit line 56 from this:
the_excerpt()
to this:
the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'buddyboss' ) )

Thanks – that’s brilliant. It worked!

Could you also help me with another problem. I already have lots of avatars uploaded via WordPress but BuddyPress or the theme is over-riding them and displaying a ‘Mystery Man’ – is it possible to have BuddyBoss use the WordPress avatars?

@multimartin add this to your child theme functions.php file:
remove_filter( 'avatar_defaults', 'buddyboss_addgravatar' );

[Alyssa]

add this to remove the default BuddyBoss group avatar as well:

remove_filter( 'bp_get_group_avatar', 'buddyboss_default_group_avatar');
remove_filter( 'bp_get_new_group_avatar', 'buddyboss_default_group_avatar' );

Hello again,

That seems to have just made the ‘Mystery Man’ avatars appear in the back-end too. Previously the front-end showed the Mystery Man avatars and the back-end showed my custom avatars.

Any ideas?

Adding remove_filter( 'get_avatar', 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter', 10, 5 ); to the functions files means that my correct avatars display under ‘Users’ in the back-end but the avatar that displays on the front-end is the mystery man.

@multimartin the BuddyBoss Mystery Man is very similar to the WP version. Are you certain it is the same one?

[Martin]

I use a plug-in to make sure that Google Profile avatars are used as WordPress avatars. The plug-in sets these in WordPress as the accounts avatars – they display across all aspects of my WordPress MU site except the BuddyPress site – which displays the Mystery Man. I can change it to the BuddyBoss Mystery Man but it will still not display my of my WordPress avatars.

@multimartin this is the only needed code: remove_filter( 'avatar_defaults', 'buddyboss_addgravatar' ); If you continue to have issues you will need to contact the plugin owner as the above code will cause the BuddyBoss functions to not load.
