Hello BP community,
I have been having trouble with certain aspects of Buddypress on my website. One reoccurring problem is a blank page when users try to “create a group” from the toolbar.
I understand that it may be a theme compatibility issue, but am pretty tied to my current theme (Nature 2.0 by SMthemes.com). Can anyone please help me out about how I can make my theme completely compatible with BP?
I have limited coding skills, but could find someone to help me out.
I’m using BP 1.8.1 and WordPress 3.6.1.
My website is: http://www.thefreeair.com
Thanks in advance,
Josh
Greetings!
I am attempting to install BuddyPress 1.8.1 on my local machine and having issues with its activation.
When you click activate, the page will not load. From the browser messages I assume the script is causing a 500 error to occur but I cant figure out why as all other scripts work.
The Error Messages
In Chrome it says “This webpage is not available”
In IE it says “This page can’t be displayed”
In FireFox it says “The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.”
In Safari it says “Safari can’t open the page”
The URL in question
http://localhost/uni/wp-admin/plugins.php?action=activate&plugin=buddypress%2Fbp-loader.php&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s&_wpnonce=1a83d64615
My Environment
– WAMP Server 2.2
– Apache 2.2.21
– mod_rewrite enabled
– PHP 5.3.9
– MySQL 5.5.20
– WordPress 3.6.1
What I have tried
– Pretty permalinks are setup and functioning correctly
– Deactivated all plugins, switched to Twenty Thirteen Theme
– Tried installing from the repo inside wordpress and manual install
Can anyone offer some insight into why this may be happening?
Thank you!
A client’s website is using the (Buddypress) Groups widget. Under the “active” tab, we assumed it would show the 3 most active groups by which group has the most recent activity. However, groups that have more recent activity than the three shown are not displaying.
We’re wondering what the criteria is for how the 3 most active groups are determined. Thanks in advance!

I am trying to achieve something that looks like this screenshot, but at the moment it is more like a dogs dinner! http://wpmu.org/top-3-ways-to-build-a-social-network-with-wordpress/
Many thanks
So I’m trying to figure this out on my own and I got as far as finding out that since BuddyPress 1.7 there’s a new class: BP_User_Query – which should be similar to the standard wordpress WP_User_Query
However the official BuddyPress documentation page for the class is just a holding page (argh!) – https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/class-reference/bp_user_query/
Does anyone have a basic ‘Hello World’ example they could give me for pulling in a list of users based on a custom profile field?
I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks
Hi Guys, we like to get some support on our buddypress. When someone register, we can see them in the admin user area, but not in the member area of buddypress?
Please Help, Thanks

I’ve set up a BuddyPress site (currently a test site) with the intention of anyone worldwide registering. I have a Pending Activations plugin active, and when any UK users register they immediately appear in the Pending Activations list, but when my friend in the USA registers she doesn’t appear in WordPress Users or Pending Activations. She isn’t prevented from registering, and she receives no notification that there is a problem with her registration. I have the site on a Centos VPS, and I’m using WordPress 3.6.1 with an Elbee Elgee Child Theme. All my plugins are up to date. I have no plugins that I have set to block any IP addresses, where do you think I should look to resolve this issue, please?
sorry but actually i finally found the correct plugin, here is the link for those who need it :
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-sitewide-activity-widget/installation/
cheers,
I’m having this same problem. Anyone know of a way to shrink images in the activity stream? I’m also using Buddypress Activity Plus… Any suggestions? Or do I need to contact author directly? Any insight is much appreciated.
thanks

This would be easy using just BuddyPress Xprofile fields:
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/
You could create a dropdown menu and make it required and only allow the selection from say 21 to 120 years of age (“Not like most of us will live that long anyway unfortunately”) But also have a check box that is required that all information entered to join the site is true etc.
have you checked out rt/buddypress media?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/
not really sure if it does what you want but just throwing it out there.

What theme are you using as well as plugins? Sounds kinda like you may have got a theme from somewhere other than a reputable place and maybe it has some java-script that is causing this. Have you tried switching themes to Twenty Twelve or bp-default and deactivated all plugins other than BuddyPress?
The way I would show posts on a BuddyPress profile would be like this:
$args = array( 'author' => bp_displayed_user_id(),
'post_type' => 'post'
);
query_posts( $args );
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
// do something amazing
endwhile; else:
// no posts found so do something less amazing
endif;
wp_reset_postdata();
This topic says resolved but I am not able to get posts to show on the profile. After reading the above thread multiple times here is what I did:
1. Downloaded an updated version of BP Posts on Profile revised by @azchipka called “TCH-BuddyPress-Posts-On-Profile”, installed, and activated it.
2. Added the code offered by @anywherebuthollywood to the functions.php file in my child theme.
The “My Profile” tab does appear but if I click on it I get the same empty blog page with “Members” in the header and whichever logged in user showing up as a link to the logged in author’s page.
Did I miss a step or is this not resolved after all?
I am new to buddypress which I have installed and am trying to follow the instructions for enabling the components as only 2 are activated and the bottom 2 are compulsory.
Example I want to enable the private messaging which I can see I need to check the box but there is no save, when I leave the screen it does not save?
Hello guys,
I’ve been some issues in my buddypress site. In the profile page, every link is broken, missing part of the link.
Here is: http://i.imgur.com/nI7tPIf.png
If you guys look, the “members” or “membros” (in pt-br) is missing! Someone know what is going on?
My WordPress version is: 3.5.1
My Buddypress version is: 1.8.1
What I did:
– Reinstalled the buddypress
– Reinstalled the whole wordpress
Thanks!
this is actually a problem with the latest version of bbpress it going to be fixed in the next update. you should be able to downgrade to 2.3.2 to temporarily fix the problem until 2.4.1 comes out.
Any help would be appreciated.
After reading through prob. over 100 topics on this same problem I have not found a solution that works. I am running WP 3.6.1, BuddyPress 1.8.1 and the Function theme from Woothemes. I have installed BP and it seems as if everything works except the registration page is blank. YES I have checked “anyone can register” as has been suggested in 50 different other topics, I have changed the theme to the default 2012 theme from wordpress, I have even used the default theme that comes with BP and all still leads to a blank registration page. I have deactivated all of the plugins and still same problem. My theme folder did not have the folder “registration” in it so I added it as well as the register.php and activate.php files. I am totally frustrated and stuck. WordPress is installed within a /wordpress folder in the root. Help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
on some Buddypress pages, for example on the groups page I see “create group”/>” at the top of page. It looks quite ugly.
Any idea how I can get rid of this?
