BuddyPress.org

No problem @leahkoerper 🙂 The issue will be fixed in BuddyPress 9.0.0. FYI: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/13017

I found the solution. As in Buddypress also the normal wordpress posts are published you only have to edit this file searchform.php in your themes folder (add there /activity/ behind home_url ) to:

<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url( '/activity/' ); ?>">
	
	<div class="input-group">
		<input name="s" id="s" autocomplete="off" type="text" class="ajax_s form-control input-sm" value="<?php echo get_search_query(); ?>">
		<span class="input-group-btn">
            <input type="submit" value="<?php _e("Search");?>" id="searchsubmit" class="button">
		</span>
	</div>

</form>

Update: This was totally the moderation settings. Other users can now post things.

This brings up an additional question about BuddyPress:

Is there an activity moderation queue? I never could find the failed activity feed items.

And, where are the comment moderation settings cached? It took forever to reflect this update.

Thank you for any help!

Thank you very much for your answer.

Are there any other similar pages in BuddyPress like Groups where no content area is available? Which pages are they?

(so I will know to avoid edit them with Elementor and will know that this is not a debug issue)

Is there any intention to allow editing BuddyPress mapped pages with Elementor in the near future?

Thanks

That is Elementor’s answer:

The Group Directory page of Buddypress does not seem to a normal page, it’s more like an Archive template. I can see the issue does not persist on other static pages.

As we have no control over coding for third-party plugins nor themes, we highly recommend that you report this issue to the support team for this plugin so they may further troubleshoot and provide any recommendation (or possible fix) to resolve this issue.

I think I figured out the answer. I believe the checkbox is hidden based on the CSS code. I’m still searching for an answer why the log in page is redirecting to the wp-login.php page for wordpress instead of the BuddyPress platform???
