@david_1 BP has registration and activation (account) pages. Ability for users to upload their own avatars is already built-in BP. Allowing members to post information about themselves is possible since xProfile component is activated.

@bibliata did you by any chance, create a Page titled BuddyPress then made it the parent page for Activity, Members, etc. ?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

@bryandpi this could be an issue with your page selection in admin menu Settings > BuddyPress > Pages or with your theme.

Check if the Pages you selected in BuddyPress > Pages are named as you want them to be e.g. Members == Members page, Activity == Activity page, etc. If they are correct, determine whether it is a theme issue by changing your theme to Twenty Twelve and check if issue is resolved.

@bibliata please clarify, you updated from which BP version to BP 1.7? If you’re on BP 1.7, make sure that your theme and plugins are compatible with that version. You might also want to check your .htaccess file.

@irabelle site url?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

@chathuranga What theme are you using? Change to Twenty Twelve theme and check if issue is resolved.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

@cupid4 add the following to your child theme’s functions.php file –

EDIT – updated code http://pastebin.com/iKcPpM0L

@mlakritz BuddyPress is compatible with nearly all WordPress themes. The few which are not fully compatible are those which have proprietary templating systems. Before continuing, change to Twenty Twelve theme and check if issue is resolved. If so, then it’s a theme issue. There are some solutions https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/template-hierarchy/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

What BP version are you using? I recall the issue fixed in BP 1.7x

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

Upgrade to BP 1.8.1 and check if issue is resolved

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

@edvandun upgrade to BP 1.8.1

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

volvo_owmer sounds like a plan 😉

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

But nothing changes

@drrr did you upload the revised member-header.php file into your theme folder in server e.g. wp-content/themes/thesis/buddypress/members/single/ per https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/template-hierarchy/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

@danstriker I see you’d found out by now that applying 50px width for .entry-content img is not the way to go. Recommend that you add the following in your stylesheet for some of the avatars in the bbPress forums

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-freshness-author img.avatar,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-template-notice info img.avatar,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-started-by img.avatar {
width: 20px;
height: auto;
}

@aidnotes you’d need to provide more information about your installation. WP/BP version? What BuddyPress components/features are activated in Settings > BuddyPress > Components? Theme used? Plugins installed?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

@hitkid the first post you linked is way too old – 3 years ago, we were using the BuddyPress internal forums. BP 1.7 onwards, bbPress plugin is the way to go and if you activate the bbPress plugin, you should find the following bbPress widgets https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/ under Appearance > Widgets

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

@wpobs upgrade to BuddyPress 1.8.1, clear cache and check if issue is resolved.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

@joesell89 WP/BP versions? Theme used? https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

You can look how it’s done in https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-user-account-type-lite/

@barronlau
– localhost is XAMPP, WAMP, MAMP?
– As for avatar in localhost, choose something other than the default mystery man for those without Gravatars.
– If you installed BP subsite, did you follow instructions at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/ ?
– I suggest that you test BP install first using BP Default or Twenty Twelve/Thirteen theme.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

@iconimagery pretty sure it’s not BP. Change to Twenty Twelve theme and deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress in your test platform.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 2 months ago]

@mstell4hotmailcom glad you resolved this on your own and for posting back what the issue was 🙂
