Unfortunately, this very important plugin is no longer updated with the latest version of BP and crashes the system. It would be helpful if it was updated and if possible integrated directly into the BP core, as Buddyboss has already done.
Hello @varunkamani
I already gave you a few options to choose from, so in the end it’s up to you.
1. Ignore error and keep plugin
Keep the plugin and accept the fact that it comes with some issues and risks.
The risk itself is pretty low when it comes to the XSS since this is pretty common.
Like mentioned before, old and unsupported plugins do come with some risk.
2. Find a different plugin
Find a different plugin that is updated that can provide you with the features you need/want.
You can search on both WordPress.Org or other sites like Google, CodeCanyon etc.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/
3. Use a third party security plugin
Download and install a third party security plugin that can help prevent the XSS attacks on your site. This could be either free or paid/premium depending on your budget and needs.
4. Get a developer to help you update current plugin
If you insist on keeping the BuddyPress Global Search and you want it updated to fix its current issues, you’d need to pay a developer to help you update the plugin itself. This might not be the best solution long term, and I would also assume BuddyBoss themselves would update this if they felt it was necessary. The fact that they talked about updating it for the past 3 years and now left it abandoned tells me that it’s not a priority for them.
From a quick search on the forums, this topic has been up several times before for the past many years, so don’t expect an easy or “free” solution for this.
Hope it helps! š
I’m no longer using BuddyPRess or bbPress. I switched to BuddyBoss and gave up on trying to get BuddyPress to work the way I wanted.
I think you have used BuddyPress and BuddyBoss themes. You can try deactivating the BuddyBoss theme temporarily to see if the issue persists, which will help determine whether the problem is related to the theme or BuddyPress itself.
I need Buddypress as I use Buddyboss and memberpress, so I need the plugin that connects them.
I have migrated my website to a new host and since moving it, re activating buddypress causes a critical error. I have tried deleting and reinstalling it and still get a critical error on activation.
Can anyone help, I am on wordpress 6.6.2

Weāre talking about Profile -> Messages -> Compose, right?
Yes, this is exactly what I am talking about.
@emaralive
Thank you for this suggestion and interesting insight. I am not a developer so I have no idea how to write a script that does this, but I found this code here. Would you/does anyone know if this is the right thing to use, and if so, how I can modify it to apply only to the “compose a message” page? And I am guessing I need to put it in the bp-custom.php file?
Thank you
After updating the plugin to the lattes version (14.0.0), a notification message is stacked at the top of my WordPress admin dashbored as follows:
(For BuddyPress Multilingual to work you must enable WPML together with BuddyPress or BuddyBoss.)
—————————————-
and there is no close icon to close this notification, noting that the WPML and BuddyPres are already active and working since long time with no issues.
please advise how to get rid of this notification as it is annoying.

Buddyboss got sold to awesome motive. More competition for buddypress. We are currently at a declining rate sitting at 2016 levels.
We are not Buddyboss support
Hello,
We are using the buddyboss platform.
However, Users couldn’t register. After they submit the registration, the system always gets stuck.
How can I fix the problem?
Ability to create posts within groups with tags? Then allow members of groups searchbytagtoo? Making posts in groups for buddyboss or buddypress
Hi. So the member if he/she tries creating a group with the same name that already exists, the member is told āGroup name exists, cannot makeā, and stops group creation. Can you send how to implement this on buddyboss budypress? If you can also force a format type for words so no duplicates are ever made this way in input group-name ID input field, would also be great. Say you want to make a group for each flower that exists. 3 different users right now can make a group for Rose, Rse, Roseee, but these are in essence duplicates, and can be created. What is the workaround here or can you send some code to help with this?
Is there a way to hide the visibility of certain parts of a user’s profile in the front end according to user roles, so that only certain user roles can see those parts? For example, I have a directory of members and they can post things about themselves in the profile, including their contact details. Obviously I would prefer that their contact details are not visible publicly to just anyone in general – to see their contact details, I would like the user to sign up as a a specific user role, log in, and then be able to see them. For example, you have to have User Role A to see the phone number of everyone in the directory, people who have User Role B cannot see them, instead they might see the field with a message saying “register as a User A to see their phone number/email address[or whatever the field might be]”.
I am using BuddyPress 12.4.1 (but am on the BuddyBoss platform right now if that makes a difference)
The parent theme is missing. Please install the “buddypress/buddyboss” parent theme.
I do have installed buddypress plugin into my the7 theme, shall i install buddyboss too?
Think you’d need to ask BuddyBoss about that. BP does not interact with those pages, and presumably the login page is theirs also.
Hello everyone. Having an issue on a couple of my pages. My privacy policy page and also terms and conditions.
They show up fine when logged into the site but when users are not logged in its just a white page with white text.
Also this is happening on the forgot password page
I tried adding code to fix this but that did not work either.
Anyone have a solution
Elementor compatibility and a good documentation like BuddyBoss has.
This has been an issue since the beginning – when I post an internal link on my News Feed (so thatās a link thatās protected within the Memberpress rules) it wonāt show a preview on the feed. Instead it shows a preview of what I call the āOOpsā page – the page non-members are redirected to by Memberpress if they try to access a members only page.
I have tried turning off all the plugins and it didnāt fix the issue.
Iām using latest versions of all – WP 6.4.3 and BuddyBoss Platform 2.5.31, BuddyBoss Platform Pro 2.4.60
Thanks for the response! I installed classic but no change.
No change when I de-activate the ‘Buddy Press for Learndash’ by BuddyBoss plugin. (https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-learndash/)
I checked with LearnDash and this is still the plugin they advise to use – even though it hasn’t been updated in 4 years. We may just abandon the functionality – it doesn’t offer much value to us if it’s not connected to the online course. I suspect the BuddyBoss plugin is the issue.
Hi there, and welcome to the world of BuddyPress! Don’t worry; the 500 error can be daunting for beginners, but we’ll work together.
I’ve seen this issue reported before with the Lambda theme and BuddyPress, and it boils down to a compatibility issue with the navigation functions. Here’s how we can tackle it:
1. Debug Mode Explained:
Good job enabling debug mode! The error message you shared (“Call to a member function get_primary() on null”) points to line 2558 in bp-core-functions.php. This line attempts to access a navigation menu item that’s not available, causing the 500 error.
2. Don’t Modify Core Files:
While removing the problematic line might seem tempting, avoiding modifying core BuddyPress files directly is crucial. This can cause conflicts and instability down the line.
3. Theme Compatibility Fix:
Instead, let’s explore theme compatibility options:
Theme Update: Check if an updated version of Lambda is available. Developers often fix compatibility issues in newer versions.
Theme-Specific Navigation Hook: Some themes, like Lambda, provide custom hooks for modifying the navigation. Research Lambda’s documentation or contact their support team to see if such a hook exists. You can then use this hook to customize the BuddyPress navigation without touching core files.
Alternate Theme: Unfortunately, if compatibility solutions are unavailable, switching to a different theme that plays well with BuddyPress might be necessary. Popular choices include BuddyPress-compatible themes like BuddyBoss, BuddyPress Theme, and Total.
4. Community Resources:
Don’t hesitate to tap into the wider BuddyPress community for support:
BuddyPress Forums: Head over to the BuddyPress forums and search for similar issues related to Lambda and navigation. You might find existing solutions or helpful advice from other users.
BuddyPress Slack: Join the BuddyPress Slack community to chat with developers and experienced users in real-time.
5. Next Steps:
Based on your preference and technical comfort level, please choose one of the suggested solutions and try it out. If you need further assistance with specific configurations or troubleshooting, please share more details, and we can delve deeper together.
Remember, the BuddyPress community is friendly and supportive, so don’t hesitate to ask for help. Good luck, and I hope you get your BuddyPress site up and running smoothly soon!
If it helps, I just disabled the BB Classic plugin (which I need until MediaPress updates to BB12 compatible. With BB Classic disabled, I get a 404 error when I click the Favorites or Subscriptions tab in the Forum section of BuddyPress Profile. I have a funny feeling that the problem with Unfavoriting and Unsubscribing has something to do with BuddyPress trying to create a URL with a redirect for bbPress.
Also, I did this test after updating to BuddyBoss 12.1.1 today. The URL to Unfavorite within the BuddyPress Profile is still with BB Classic enabled:
https://[site-url]/members/admin/forums/favorites/?action=bbp_favorite_remove&object_id=55&redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2F[site-url]%2Fmembers%2Fadmin%2Fforums%2Ffavorites%2F&_wpnonce=f9336f0991
Hello,
I’m new to buddypress and trying to figure out to get it working. I installed Buddypress. I guess I configured it correctly as everything shows up in my menu as intended.
But from there on out I seem to hit a rock as the buddypress pages do not show correctly. My menubar shows vertically and nothing is displayed correctly.
I can’t even find a way to edit the Buddypress pages. I can’t find them between my pages and editing the on the pages itself is not possible is either.
What am I missing?
I use
WP Version 6.4.2
Divi Version: 4.23.4 with Child Theme: Molti Version: 1.2.1
BuddyPress Version 12.0.0
Paid Memberships Pro Version 2.12.7
Paid Memberships Pro – BuddyPress & BuddyBoss Add On Version 1.4.1
Sorry if this has already been answered. I tried searching quite a bit before I posted a new topic.
I’m using the BuddyBoss Theme and have the latest versions of WP and BuddyBoss installed.
I’ve got a signup form with extended profile fields added. I need to filter the profile values before they are displayed when viewing or editing the user profile in both the front and back ends. I’ve used the filter bp_get_the_profile_field_value to successfully retrieve all signup fields including the extended profile fields. However, bp_get_the_profile_field_edit_value only seems to affect and return the three default signup fields: first name, last name, and username. Neither of these filters is triggered at all when attempting to edit a user profile on the backend (wp-admin/users.php?page=bp-profile-edit.)
Is there another filter I can use for editing values as well as pre-filtering field values in admin? Maybe another idea altogether?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Within your BuddyBoss custom theme, navigate to the templates related to the BuddyPress activity feed. You’ll likely find relevant files in the buddyboss-child-theme/buddypress/activity directory.
Look for the file responsible for rendering the activity feed and its items. You’ll want to customize this file to include a “Reply” button for each discussion.
2. Customizing the Activity Feed:
a. Locate the template file (e.g., activity/entry.php or similar) where the activity feed items are displayed.
b. Identify the section responsible for displaying BuddyPress activities related to discussions or forum posts.
c. Within this section, add a “Reply” button for each discussion using HTML and BuddyPress functions. Use the BuddyPress functions to generate a reply form or link.
