I am admin for a fairly comprehensive site, still under construction.
I’m in the process of setting up the various sidebar widgets. They all work well except Sitewide notices, which has been set to be at the top of the right-hand sidebar, but it only displays a blank widget area, no title.
The widget setup screen/right-hand sidebar/’sitewide…[Read more]

I’ve asked for support several times in the past and have had no support, not very encouraging.

Pressing the My Groups tab in Groups only changes the avatars respectively. ‘https://****schoolalumni.uk/build/members/admin/groups/my-groups/’ shows at the bottom left of the screen but the following do not show:

Hitting the ‘My Groups’ ‘https://elmfieldschoolalumni.uk/build/members/me/groups/’ tab in ‘Groups’goes nowhere but after deactivating javascript in Chrome it works ok and goes to the ‘My Groups’ page.

Anyone please.
My Groups page does not display after pressing the My Groups tab in Groups.
Can anyone help please.
Changing themes, deactivating plugins and clearing cache makes no difference.
I’ve even tried co pletely deleting Buddypress from the database and reinstalling but to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is it possible to add ‘notification counters’ to the relevant tabs ie: Groups, Members, Activity, Friends, Notifications etc in a Buddypress secondary menu. They appear in the default Buddypress menu but are not replicated in a secondary menu.

I’ve tried using:

Just wondering if a date has been set for the release of the long-awaited BP version 3.0 including the new Nouveau template.
I believe the first quarter of 2018 has been mentioned but an exact date would be fantastic, if one has been set.
Can’t wait!

I have tried 2012, 2013 & the BP default theme. They all report ‘Page not found’.

Just to add to my message above, there are no other Plugins installed. I have also uninstalled BP including db entries and reinstalled but to no avail.

@modemlooper & Henry, thanks for your help so far.
Ok . . . . . I have just done a fresh install of WP and BP in a sub domain and not in a separate folder as it was before. So the address is now ‘cyc.manorway.org.uk’ All the HTTPS’s have gone (there were a lot of them looking at the browser source code!).

Further details:
BP works ok on another 2 temporary sites on the same server
It also works ok on my home local host server.
It is just this 1 site that gives the problem, maybe I should try a complete reinstall including the database!

The correct URL still returns a 404 Page not found error.

As it is a completely new installation I have only BuddyPress installed. Even Askimet has not been activated.
