We have a different user type who signs up via our membership plugin, they work fine.

Well that would suggest an issue with your membership plugin really, check it is correctly setting user types, can your users login if you disable that plugin.

This issue is nearly always a caching one, have you been running a cache plugin?

Closing.

Make your ‘full’ image size larger than needed and then go through your templates setting the width/height prams on the avatar call, you can always reduce an image dimensions – within reason – and retain quality whereas you can’t increase without pixalation.

buddypress.php placed in the root of a newly created directory ‘buddypress/’ or ‘community/’ will act as the main template file for all BP screens whether directory or account screens, group screens, it’s the wrapper as it were that provides the main header, sidebar,footer includes and main markup your chosen theme needs, essentially it is a…[Read more]

The first thing to do is always check the BP Codex we write guides to try and help people with aspects like this.

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

And related pages under ‘Theming’

Template compatibility just runs under any theme you choose to run (in the majority of cases) you…[Read more]

@callumevans Running on BP trunk with WP 3.8 & 2012 theme I can not replicate this issue, a new signup can not login directly after signup and receives a warning that they must activate their account first, something must still be contrary to a pure standard install on your setup.

@henrywright if you have a minute might be worth jumping into irc and asking if anyone else can confirm that root profiles are safe, as for the edit I’m very perplexed by it, had thought I had done it in error 🙂 I worry about curating codex now though 🙂

As far as I can tell looking through core files there is no deprecated note on this constant, the article has an odd edit by user name not seen before who also does not figure in revision history, checking all the user revision history existing shows no one having added that so must be this mystery user & their last article edit. I’ve removed the…[Read more]

no nor quite a few others I spotted, sure there were in pre 1.2 versions but that is going back so far now that I doubt those are relevant in a backpat or curiosity sense.

🙂 not that I could, find but only keep local tags going back to 1.2 anything prior to that is simply too old to care about.

I fear looking at other references on that page that many are actually pre 1.2 so in general that whole page isn’t looking in good shape, toss up between going through one by one or pulling page and re-writing.

@henrywright ok given it caused me a bit of confusion trying to track down many of those and work out just how the page is a help, and your tacit agreement above I’m going to change page to draft for the moment. Thanks though for the heads up, as it were, it does help for attention to be brought to some pages that may be best removed until they…[Read more]

@henrywright I think you’re correct however that page and the action section in general needs a lot of scrutiny, my personal preference would be for removing that particular page entirely for the moment.

You don’t provide any detail as to the theme your using custom thirdparty, bp-legacy theme compatibility, bp-default.

The problems suggest a custom theme causing the issue, although you do state tha changing to bp-default does not correct problem, it may then lie with this role you have?

As for adding that code directly to a template you would…[Read more]

Ok what is not clear in that particular guide is the necessity of creating a new forum but selecting ‘category’ rather than ‘forum’ when you save/create it, this category is the groups forums parent and the slug that you would see appear in that select option, the one referenced ‘Groups Forum’ is simply an example name.

Have a read of this other…[Read more]

I take it you are working in a localhost, dev environment from your reference to Dreamweaver?

If that is the case your topic title was a little misleading and implying something that wasn’t the case – fyi it is considered bad form on lists, forums to use ‘Urgent’ or ‘Emergency’ in thread titles.

Dreamweaver can’t run dynamic sites of any…[Read more]

>What is version 1.9.2 supposed to fix anyway? I could not find any documentation
There’s very clear documentation, right there on the main blog!

If you want help, you’ll need to provide as much detailed info as possible on your setup, in particular your theme in use and it’s approach to working with BP.
