    Currently user blog posts are displaying only with the title, featured image, author and date. I would like to show either the full content as well, or perhaps even just an excerpt. Is this something that is currently possible within BuddyBlog Pro? I couldn’t find any settings that would make it work.

    Or, is there something that I can/need to do with regards to a post archive file or something like that?

    Thanks!

    Hello Nick,

    Sorry for the inconvenience. BuddyBlog Pro by default does show a post’s excerpt on the user’s post screen. Is there any chance you have override the BuddyBlog posts template?. If not please let me know which posttype you are dealing with.

    Regards
    Ravi

    Not your fault! It is entirely possible that I overrode it… How would I restore it or reset everything to defaults?

    Hi Nick,
    Thank you for the reply.

    If you are using BuddyBoss, You can copy “wp-content/plugins/buddyblog-pro/templates/buddyboss/default/entry-content.php to your child-theme/buddyblog/buddyboss/default/entry-content.php and override.

    This entry content is same as BuddyBoss’s default entry file except it contains 3 links(edit,delete, view) from us.

    You can override other templates as needed.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Can you please confirm what the paths should be?

    child-theme/buddyblog/buddyboss/default/entry-content.php is a different path from the /plugins/ path you provided (missing the /templates/ folder, and has /buddyblog/ vs /buddyblog-pro/).

    Also, my existing /plugins/ path does not match what you described

    what you listed:
    wp-content/plugins/buddyblog-pro/templates/buddyboss/default/entry-content.php

    mine:
    wp-content/plugins/buddyblog-pro/templates/buddyblog/buddyboss/default/entry-content.php

    Anyway, I copied the entry-content.php file from where it was to the following path, so as to mirror it perfectly.

    wp-content/themes/buddyboss-theme-child/buddyblog-pro/templates/buddyblog/buddyboss/default/entry-content.php

    Nothing happened. Do I need to activate it somewhere?

    Thanks!

    Hi Nick,
    Thank you.

    It should be in your theme at the following path

    
wp-content/themes/buddyboss-theme-child/buddyblog/buddyboss/default/entry-content.php

    I should also add that I just reset my website using the WP Reset plugin (I wanted to clean up lots of extraneous tables, post types etc…) and the problem persists.

    I have put it in the directory you confirmed and it still doesn’t work. I can confirm that it appears in the Theme Editor window, alongside functions.php, etc…

    I know it is a different mechanism, but in my timeline/newsfeed the post shows up appropriately saying

    admin posted a new post, Test

    excerpt text

    Hi Nick,
    If you are using BuddyBoss child theme, then any change in the above file will reflect. Please try that. This entry is used on the profile/Posts tab.

    Your other issue seems to be related to time offset. You may want to update it in General settings of WordPress.
