Have you tried changing the defaults on the BP Docs settings screen? It is available at WP Admin > Docs > Settings, or /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=bp_doc&page=bp-docs-settings

Hi, sorry, we can’t debug issues with BuddyBoss. Have you asked their team?

I should also add that https://localwp.com/ is a great tool for building test environments on your local machine.

BP Docs uses the site’s settings for this, so if you change the allowed file types and size, BP Docs will respect that. There are many plugin that can help you make changes to your media allowances, or you can use the filter hooks provided by WP and write something yourself.

It sounds like you have a good idea of what to test. If disabling the questionable plugins on your production site (even temporarily) is out of the question, then it sounds like you could use a development site to tinker with.

Is there a freely available theme that results in the same issue? Thanks!

Hmm, I’m not seeing your issue with BP 14. I sort of suspect a theme conflict. What theme are you using? Thanks!

Sure, you can change the navigation using BP navigation API: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/navigation-api/

Are you wanting to have Docs enabled for groups but not allow the group admins to manage the settings? I’m trying to understand your use case. Thanks!

This is an interesting question. We use wp_editor() to create the editor, so I’m not sure what the difference would be. I can take a look at bbPress, but I wouldn’t change the editor implementation lightly, so don’t be waiting on an imminent change.

Sure, you can delete folders using the “manage folders” interface. The link to Manage Folders appears above the doc directory when folders are enabled for your current view. For the folder you wish to delete, click “edit” then you’ll see a delete option in the edit pane for that folder.

Hi, it’s really going to depend on your theme and other local factors. You can see the BP Docs CSS file here, though, if that helps: https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs/tree/master/includes/css

Thanks for your report. What theme can I use to test this problem, to ensure my change fixes it? Thanks!

Sure, you can change the doc_created activity item output. Here’s the existing function: https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs/blob/master/includes/activity.php#L320

Here’s a note about setting activity actions in BP: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_activity_set_action/

Regarding your comment notifications, they should only be going out to the doc author. Check to see that there aren’t some other filters changing that behavior in one of your plugins. (It would be weird for a plugin to change the core WP comment notification behavior.)

Sure, you could send a custom email. Here’s a note on how to send a custom email in BuddyPress: https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/custom-emails/

You can use the bp_docs_doc_saved hook to only catch new docs at creation ($this->is_new_doc will be true, and $this->doc_id will be the ID of the new doc): https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs/blob/master/includes/query-builder.php#L648

That sounds like an issue with the BuddyBoss theme. Did you figure it out?
