The most recent version of BuddyPress should work with the most recent version of WordPress. Can you describe the problem you’re seeing?

The BuddyPress template hierarchy will help you customise your site’s pages. Check out this article:

Try asking on the BP Profile Search support forum. Support is very good.

Deleting BuddyPress

I suspect that this is the result of me editing the resgiter.php file, but I’m not sure.

That could be the issue. Can you try reverting to the standard register.php file and see if the problem still happens?

Can you provide a link?

That’s definitely not normal. Are you running any plugins, custom code? Which theme are you using?

This isn’t possible by default. You will need to find a plugin or add some custom code to get this done. Try looking here first to see if something is already available:

This can’t be done with BuddyPress by default. You’ll need to find a plugin. Try looking through the Plugin Directory to see if anything is available:

Do you have anything in your error log?

Also, how about front-end console errors?

If I leave the registration and activation pages blank I get a warning all the time in the backend.

The warning won’t cause harm but I agree you should be able to dismiss it. You could open a ticket on Trac for the core developers to take a look at?

Not sure you need that custom for loop. Also, an alternative to using the modulo operator is to reset the counter. Take a look at this as an example:

// Init the counter.
$i = 0;

I see what you mean. You need username etc to be editable? That’s not possible out-of-the-box. It would require some custom coding or perhaps a plugin if you can find one.

The link you posted takes me to a login page?

Users need to be active in order to appear in the member directory. My guess is only 18 of the 26 have logged in since registering.

You should be able to log in to the WordPress admin area > Users > Profile Fields and then drag the Account Profile fields to the Account Details group.

@simon1970 glad you got this working. You may at some point come across text in core files that you need to change. That’s where localisation comes in handy, but for now it looks like you’re sorted 🙂

I’ve tested BuddyPress on Twenty Fifteen and Twenty Sixteen recently, both work great. Outside of those 2 themes you’ll have many choices but my best advice would be to set up a testing site and try out before you go live.

Hope this helps.
