I have a similar problem. I set all the pages, but when trying to open the registration page the system goes to the front page.
@asieger as hnla mentioned above, deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins. Can you register/activate an account with BP deactivated?
@cc-cailin
As @modemlooper stated you should not use that plugin. Please review:
Theme Compatibility & Template Files
You would build a theme like any standard WordPress theme.
@profc
You do not need to use BP Template Pack plugin with BuddyPress anymore! Please review:
Theme Compatibility & Template Files
That is probably why you are having this issue!
Hi, me and the the other users of my buddypress website have the same problem: we have some notification on the admin bar that never go away even if the messages are already read. Sometimes I can see a notification, but if I click on it it’s empty and I have redirect on a error page (This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?).
Many thanks,

Twenty eleven theme + BuddyPress Template Pack plugin
Hi there,
I’m using BuddyPress since no much long so may be my solution is not the coolest.
I’ll tell you what I’ve done to achieve my goal. (allow access to members directory to registered and non-registerd user.)
Go to CBOX theme options and have a look into BuddyPress options. There you’ll see this option ‘Turn this option on to restrict access to your BuddyPress components to members only’.
Turn it on. That way BuddyPress components will be restricted including members directory.
As a I want it to be public I edit a function… maybe_redirect(). There I added this “|| bp_is_current_component(‘members’ )” to the if coondition.
That way, I make members directory accesible for everyone.
Hope this help you, mate.
Okay, then how do I create my own theme?
You should not use that plugin. It does not need to be used with current BuddyPress
Thanks for your help @noizeburger.
I think I might be able to use the plugin ‘buddypress user account type’, set each type of user to a member level (s2 member for example) or create somekind of tag for each type and create a conditional menu (with perhaps ‘Menu Item Visibility Control’ plugin or s2member) for each type of user once logged in.
Each user would then see the link to ‘hosts’ directory or ‘volunteers’ directory depending on which type of use they are.
The only issue is can I restrict access to the ‘member’s directory’ loop as a whole if someone tried to access this via the url?
Okay… so this is really frustrating, but the link for the buddypress template pack plugin doesn’t work:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-template-pack/
Had to google my lungs out to find a place to download it, and ended up finding this page where I was able to get it:

Hi,
I have just installed Buddypress on my website, but the register page is totally disorganized. The layout is not proper. The page is at http://www.lancebot.com/register/
Please help me in fixing this layout. Also, I would like the sidebar to be removed but even though I set the page to fullwidth, the sidebar still shows…
Thanks
We want to add Subjects (say Basic Maths) to the schools (groups). The requirement is that students should be able to search for schools offering that ‘subject’.
@sakthi31 what you need would require a custom plugin/solution, like adding custom field/s for groups https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/how-to-edit-group-meta-tutorial/ Please double-check the code/plugin in a test install before using in a live site.
@zane
1) Reply button on what page exactly? Forum post or blog post? What theme are you using?
2) Group Forum posts do appear in that Group’s Activity Stream. If you want to disable forum/blog post commenting in the Activity Stream to prevent confusion and to have all the forum/blog post comments in one location, then go to Settings > BuddyPress > Settings – Activity Settings, and make sure that Blog & Forum Comments are not enabled (not checked).
I figured that was the case. Thank you!
Hi there
I am new here,and i want to know more about the Buddypress.I have a batch of image which need to be compressed.But my previous image SDK can only do the singel image compressing .So i want to know that can buddypress compress the multipage image at one time?
When I set the BuddyPress registration page as the static front page in WP admin I get to visit two pages:
example.com
example.com/register
I’m seeing duplicate content.
Should I still be able to view example.com/register or should I be redirected to example.com?
Note: I don’t see this problem when setting “about” or “contact” as the static front page.
I always use the files from
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress
And would put them in:
/wp-content/themes/BuddyEnglish/buddypress/
no. the secondary blog setup is only if you are running wp multisite
I just copied the entire members folder exactly as is into my child theme’s base folder.
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members
to
/wp-content/themes/Buddy English/members
All folders and files inside were not changed.
I’d consider free or premium (free if possible). i want the list of profile
characteristics such as: age, height, smoke, drink etc. criteria similar to match.com or eharmony.com
i want to minimize the customizing as much as possible. plug and play.
i’ve looked at some of the BuddyPress “dating” templates, but can’t seem to investigate them fully.
i’d love to talk to anyone by phone who is willing to give me a few minutes. some of the
template home pages look great!
ideally it would have something with support.
Just created a child theme for my Buddypress and when I copy the “Members” folder over (I want to style the user profile section) I lose all my Activity stream. If I remove the folder I lose all formatting but the Activity stream comes back again.

Thoughts?
This is my search form code:
<form action="<?php echo bp_search_form_action(); ?>" method="post" id="search-form">
<label for="search-terms" class="accessibly-hidden"><?php _e( 'Search for:', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>
<input type="text" id="search-terms" name="search-terms" value="<?php echo isset( $_REQUEST['s'] ) ? esc_attr( $_REQUEST['s'] ) : ''; ?>" />
<?php echo bp_search_form_type_select(); ?>
<input type="submit" name="search-submit" id="search-submit" value="<?php _e( 'Search', 'buddypress' ); ?>" />
<?php wp_nonce_field( 'bp_search_form' ); ?>
</form>
How do I remove “search these” text that appears next to the select dropdown?
You could also try Welcome Pack by Paul Gibbs – it allows you to send a welcome email and also customise the various more emails BuddyPress sends out:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/welcome-pack/
I experienced this exact same problem on a site I recently upgraded from an older version of buddypress/bbpress. Private group replies were available in users’ activity stream to non-logged in users even. I turned off all plugins with no affect.
