– Is this a new installation? Did you go through the Installation Wizard? Did you set Permalinks to other than default i.e., “pretty permalinks”?
– What theme are you using? If you change to BP Default theme, are you able to access your messages?
– Were you able to view messages before? If so, what changes did you make recently in your installation?
@kebecweb What do you mean by front-end dashboard? Please be more specific about your issue. WP/BP versions? What did you see where and what steps did you take? URL’s welcome
You mentioned you changed themes and the media button is still missing. What theme did you change to? BP Default or Twenty Twelve theme? Has to be either of BP/WP Default themes to make sure it’s not a theme issue. Have you tried deactivating jetpack and/or other plugins to troubleshoot the issue?
@pjfbncil You mean Add Media in the Pages > Add New panel or the Posts > Add New panel? BuddyPress does not remove Add Media button or functionality at all.
What plugins are activated in your installation? What theme are you using?
Unfortunately the support for my theme is almost non-existent.
@bennygill Hugo was trying to help you out. You install the BP Template Pack plugin and run Appearance > BP Compatibility if the theme author added that in the theme’s install instructions. Some don’t. Were you instructed to do so?
Did you check in wp-content/themes/skematik/ if the /members/, /groups/, and other BP folders are there?
Have you tried re-uploading your theme manually, i.e., via s/FTP etc. to see if issue is resolved?
@ted_myers By default, there is one BuddyPress instance in a multisite installation. So even if you enable multiblog, while you can now have e.g. subdomain.example.com/members in your install, what you can post to and see there is that of BP in the main site.
If you want to have multiple instances of BuddyPress in your Multisite installation, there are two available plugins for that
1. ​https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/
and
2. ​http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-multi-network/
@patrykos360 check if your theme has a full-width page template and post the code in pastebin.com
e.g. full-width.php or page-fullwidth.php or template-fullwidth.php etc.
Groups can also have their own blogs (in subsites) which can be made private. So for each grade or each school organization, teacher/admin can create posts and students can have discussions via post comments. No forum, no problema.
@fpats Only plugin needed is BuddyPress. Join group button should be at Groups Directory page as well as in single group’s page. All’s well with BP Default theme. What theme are you using? Could be that you need to upgrade your theme or JS was not enqueued or something else.
Just thinking of the worst scenario 🙂 Could just be that their internet service providers are not up to speed (no pun intended). Or, they need to free up memory space in their computers. So many possibilities.
