I just upgraded to the new BP and while the text box is there for me to enter text into the “what’s new” activity box, there is no “submit” button or way for me to have that text posted.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Have you updated to the latest theme version along with updating to BuddyPress 1.5?

I had exactly the same problem. The Javascript to create the submit button when you click into the what’s new field was missing from the generated HTML. I needed to add code to my functions.php file to enqueue _inc/global.js. Additionally, since I was developing the theme as a subtheme of a non-buddypress theme I needed to change get_template_directory_uri() to get_stylesheet_directory_uri() and copy the global.js file.

That theme @fertilityblogs linked does have that which is why I’m asking if they are using an older version of the theme. In the last theme updates global.js has changes so not having latest would cause issues.
