Thanks Paul.

By the way, the theme I am using is Wild Community by Diablolique.

I didn’t have the bpgroup extras plugin during the second fail. I am emailing the theme creator for support also.

If there is anything more you can deduce from the code above – maybe how the theme is failing here if that is the problem – let me know.

Sorry I didn’t include the code for that. Yes, it is in the wp functions.php file, but it is relevant to bp theme. Here is the full function that line 100 is found in. Line 100 is the third to last, which starts with “add action”.

/**
 * Sets up theme defaults and registers support for various WordPress and BuddyPress features.
 *
 * Note that this function is hooked into the after_setup_theme hook, which runs
 * before the init hook. The init hook is too late for some features, such as indicating
 * support post thumbnails.
 *
 * To override bp_dtheme_setup() in a child theme, add your own bp_dtheme_setup to your child theme's
 * functions.php file.
 *
 * @global BuddyPress $bp The one true BuddyPress instance
 * @since BuddyPress (1.5)
 */
function bp_dtheme_setup() {

	// Load the AJAX functions for the theme
	require( get_template_directory() . '/_inc/ajax.php' );

	// This theme styles the visual editor with editor-style.css to match the theme style.
	add_editor_style();

	// This theme comes with all the BuddyPress goodies
	add_theme_support( 'buddypress' );

	// This theme uses post thumbnails
	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

	// Add default posts and comments RSS feed links to head
	add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' );

	if ( ! is_admin() || ( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX ) ) {
		// Register buttons for the relevant component templates
		// Friends button
		if ( bp_is_active( 'friends' ) )
			add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions',    'bp_add_friend_button',           5 );

		// Activity button
		if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) && bp_activity_do_mentions() )
			add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions',    'bp_send_public_message_button',  20 );

		// Messages button
		if ( bp_is_active( 'messages' ) )
			add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions',    'bp_send_private_message_button', 20 );

		// Group buttons
		if ( bp_is_active( 'groups' ) ) {
			add_action( 'bp_group_header_actions',     'bp_group_join_button',           5 );
			add_action( 'bp_directory_groups_actions', 'bp_group_join_button' );

		// Blog button
		if ( bp_is_active( 'blogs' ) )
			add_action( 'bp_directory_blogs_actions',  'bp_blogs_visit_blog_button' );
	}
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'bp_dtheme_setup' );
endif;

if ( !function_exists( 'bp_dtheme_enqueue_scripts' ) ) :

In the first install the failed bp had been installed and working for a few days. It suddenly gave errors when I edited a css color code on line 1211 in this file and uploaded it to the server by ftp. Yeah, I know you might say I made a mistake, but I know I did it correctly. And they you might say the file got corrupted in transfer, except that the second install on godaddy had no such changes or transfers and in short order – less than an hour of use with no other plugins or style changes – gave the same final error for line 100 when I changed my public name in the buddypress members listing, at which point neither the front nor back ends were accessible.

Looking forward to your insights.

Wow, so sorry. Thanks. I’m very relieved it works after all.

I have the same problem. Just installed today with wp 3.6.1 and the latest buddypress and bb press, all uploaded manually (via upload zip file functionality), with WildCommunity theme, and there is no admin area for groups. In the edit group area, all you can change is the name and description, add and manage members and some settings on the right.

On top of that, when I go to the group on the front end I get “page not found”. When I created the group i did see the add avatar option but skipped it as I didn’t have the image ready, and now I can’t find a way to add one.

This is not good at all. Please help. Thanks.

Says there’s supposed to be a place admins can change group avatars and do other things, but the functionality listed is nowhere to be found in the installation. What’s going on with this? If a user creates a group and doesn’t use their one chance to upload a group avatar there seems to be now way to change it.
