This appears to be a duplicate topic thus closing this topic.

See User Profile Cover Image Upload Not Working on iPhone.

I was able to locate someone with an iPhone and I wasn’t able to duplicate the issue you described:

With:

• WordPress 6.9
• BuddyPress 14.4.0
• Twenty Eleven theme
• iPhone 16 Pro
• ios 26.2 <- Safari browser

Steps:
Pressing the “Select your file” button produces the following selections:

• Photo Library
• Take Photo or Video
• Choose file

Selected and uploaded a photo from the “Photo Library” which uploaded successfully, i.e., “Your new cover image was uploaded successfully”.

You appear to be double posting, see User Profile Cover Image not uploading in the Iphone Safari Browser.

The difference is the other topic specifies the Safari browser. Is this isolated to the Safari browser or do other installable browsers have this same issue as well? Additionally, what theme is being used on the website?

Just so you know, I don’t have an Iphone, so I’ll have to check and see if someone on the team has one and can duplicate this issue.

The standard message for BuddyPress (BP) is “Sorry, that username already exists!” which appears to differ from what you’ve indicated, perhaps you elaborate as to why there is a difference. Furthermore, additional info would be helpful, such as:

• Is this is “single site” or “multisite” installation?
• Is this the “standard” or “membership requests” registration process?
• Can the assumption be made that BP 14.4.0 is currently installed?

Is this a plugin (featured group) that is separate from BuddyPress?

For reference on “Caps lock is on” warning – see trac ticket 9324.

The “Caps lock is on” message and the large “top arrow” indicates that the file containing the CSS rule for the warning has not been enqueued. This feature was first introduced in WordPress 6.9 and can be duplicated when the BP Nouveau template pack is active, however, this should not prevent the registration of new members.

When time allows, I’ll open a ticket to address the issue of “Caps lock is on” and large icon showing when the registration page is first displayed/rendered when the BP Nouveau template pack is active/enabled. The workaround, for now, is to perform one of the following:

• Click anywhere on the page to dismiss the warning message and icon. Note: the warning message & associated icon will reappear if “Caps lock” is enabled on a new registrant’s keyboard
• Temporarily switch to the BP Legacy template pack until a fix has been implemented in a new BuddyPress release.
• Roll back to WordPress version 6.8.x (current version of the WordPress 6.8 branch) until a fix has been implemented in a new BuddyPress release.

As to “Can’t register new users”, you will have to provide additional info/details as to what part of the registration flow is preventing the completion for new registrations.

Hi! We have tested the soon-to-be released BuddyPress 14.5.0 with WordPress 6.9 and haven’t found any issue yet. I personally tested with the Astra theme too.

“There has been a critical error on this website.”

Could you share the error you see? That will help me try to identify the issue.

For reference, the Topic Owner (TO) has opened Trac Ticket #9322 (Bug report at the core for the members loop).

If you are referring to the “built-in” search form on the Members directory page, it searches all xprofile fields that have entries in the bp_xprofile_data table, as well as, the “users table” (“user_login” or “user_nicename”) for the given search term. Additionally, the query is based on the “Like” operator with a “wildcard” (%) in front and after the search term, e.g., LIKE '%" . $searh_term . "%'".

In essence, a word such as “usable” will return as a hit for a search term of “usa”. So, what you will, most likely, want is a more advanced search capability of which you can:

• Code it yourself – see flexibility in members loop, caveat: this is old information but it provides insight as to how to go about it, sans a search form.
• Give the BP Profile Search plugin a try to see if it fits your needs.

Other than the above examples, there are available commercial plugins that you should be able to find on you own.

Interesting, I didnt know that and already thought about designing my own suspend/warn plugin.
Nevertheless buddypress has no blocking feature so if you want that users are able to block other users if they get intrusive then you need to chose one of the described plugins or code your own one.

I am using this plugin but I wanna get rid of it in the future because it seems that it is not more maintained. Currently it throws a lot of warnings which not getting fixed.
An alternative could be a similar plugin from buddydev. But today I red that he wants to start his own community plugin, so I wonder if he will still maintain his buddypress plugins in future. And its a paid plugin.

The only alternative for me if I switch to buddydev and then have the same lack on maintenance, build my own plugin or fork the bp tookit plugin. But be aware that this plugin also installs freemius which grabs data from your website which the buddydev one does not.

Hope that helps.

Typically, when a block theme is in use, there won’t be a “Menus” option/section under “Appearance”. For a block theme, WordPress has some basic information about creating menu items at the following:

Site Editor navigation

Additionally, there is some limited info located at the following, as it pertains to BuddyPress menu items:

Site Editor Navigation <- BuddyPress menus

You will have to provide additional information, so let’s start with a few questions and see where that leads:

• What was the previous version of BuddyPress before you upgraded to 14.4.0?
• What does the error log reveal?
• What steps have you taken to troubleshoot this situation?
