Buddypress 1.2.7. Wrong non-latin slugs – Fix

February 3, 2011 lenasterg1 Comment

If you get wrong links of blog post in activity page of buddypress the reason is that in the database in wp_bp_activity table the field primary_link is too short. Try to change it into varchar(300).
See http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2066 for possible better solution

January 17, 2011January 17, 2011 lenasterg1 Comment

Are you having troubles in activity feed for buddypress and the feed titles aret displaying with false encoding ( see picture below) ?

you can fix it with 2 ways.

1st Way and best

Use the plugin http://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-rss-character-fixer/

2nd way

By changing in the file /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.php and in function bp_get_activity_feed_item_title () the line (~line 1030)
$title = trim( strip_tags( html_entity_decode( utf8_encode( $content[0] ) ) ) );

to this
$title = trim( strip_tags( html_entity_decode( $content[0] ) ) ) ;
