it’s not a function itself… it’s a call to the do_action() function, passing ‘bp_after_sidebar_me’ as the parameter. The call is being made in sidebar.php in the bp-default template folder.

You can find these things by searching through a buddypress install in any good code editor / development environment.

do_action() itself is defined in the core WordPress files. In this case, do_action() will invoke any functions that you hook onto the bp_after_sidebar_me action.

@frank13 — there is no specific script for a do_action ( ‘abc123’ );

You have to register functions (hooks) that are invoked by the do_action — check out these pages from the WordPress Codex for more information on programming actions: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API

== I’ve since researched and have found the fix by moving the settings from buddypress member folder to the theme member folder. ==

@matthewmsexton what theme are you using? Default BP installation does not require moving any settings to “theme member folder”. Change to bp-default theme to set up and explore BP components/features.

== When I undelete the six folders the problem solved ==

Note that I said to delete the six BP folders in wp-content/themes/complete only If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your complete theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process. If you did not make any revisions, then you do not have to delete the BP folders. Also, if you did delete the BP folders, then per instruction above, then run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files..

Not clear where the blank pages are. Even so, check out https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/

@caderial looks like you’ve fixed the issue. I see only 4 unique groups. What was the culprit?

@ploupas On the theme end, Mystique is version 2.5.7 in the WP theme repo. https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/mystique. Based on scan of its current page.php, my instructions above still hold.

@damler

First you need to activate the BuddyPress plugin.

Second, you need to install the BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility

Third, realign BP template files, see https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/easel-theme-buddypress-alignment-problem/

== I can’t seem to save/change the Page Attributes of the BuddyPress created pages. ==

It’s because you can’t do that at this time @blinkybill01.
BP pages are using the BP template files transferred during the compatibility process, the very same files we’re going to revise here.

== Also, I’ve noticed that with the most recent WordPress update, I’ve been getting more and more 406 errors. Is this something I should contact my hosting company about? ==

Haven’t encountered those errors yet. Yes, you should contact your webhost since 406 errors are usually related to suhosin security extension or Apache mod_security and the like.

If you only want sitewide forums (not group forums as well):

In wp-admin in BuddyPress > Components, disable the “Forums” component. Go to the Pages menu in wp-admin, and if you have a page called “forums”, delete it (you don’t need it any more).
In wp-admin, go to Plugins > Add New, and search for and install and activate the “bbPress” plugin. You should see something like version 2.1 of that plugin.

Once done, you should be able to start using bbPress for sitewide forums. If you have specific questions about how to make bbPress do non-BuddyPress things, the best place to ask is on bbpress.org.

Don’t post duplicates.

If you don’t understand, or are unable to carry out the advice given, please say so on the original thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/dob-problem-on-registration-form/

BuddyPress profile fields do show by default when you visit a profile. So, it sounds like either your theme, or a plugin is causing the problem.

Did you create your profile fields from the BuddyPress menus in wp-admin?

The most likely candidate for the problem sounds like the plugin you are using to add buttons and maps to the user profiles.

Try deactivating that plugin – do the profile fields show?

Try switching to bp-default theme – do the profile fields show?

If they are still not showing — deactivate all your plugins except BuddyPress, use the default theme, and go to the Profile Fields section in wp-admin … are they definitely set up correctly in there? Are privacy settings correct? Do the profile fields show now in the front end?

By breaking your search down for a solution step by step like this, you’ll be able to determine what is causing the problem (your theme or one of your plugins).

To change text in BuddyPress you need to create a language file. You don’t have to translate to another language you can still use english. It’s a way to change words without fear of upgrading and loosing changes later on.

You can also try increasing your PHP memory (as indicated by the error message you’ve received)… you should then be able to run BuddyPress without problem on your site.

There are many ways to increase PHP memory (including some specific to WordPress)… please have a Google to find those.

@likeitordont

It sounds like you want to create a directory page for all the pages on your site… is that correct?

The BuddyPress directories only exist for BuddyPress components like groups, members, etc.

The pages on your site are just standard WordPress pages. If you want to create a directory page that lists them all, you would need to write your own template file with a custom WP_Query loop that just returns pages, or perhaps use a WordPress API function to return all pages.

For more information on how to do this, you should visit the documentation on WordPress: https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

@hedak @mercime

Did this end well? Are we talking about Mystique version 3+ or the 2.something version?

With these instructions i get eg: domain.com/register full load of theme but empty page/post page or domain.com/index.php/register stripped CSS version but registration of BP appears

(checked nginx rules, also default BP theme works like a charm)

delete the BuddyPress folder from plugins to get to admin
