@vus firstly you should not re-open threads that are old especially ones that are two years old it is very unlikely they will be relevant to your issue – especially where code is concerned.
Please start your own thread on your issue – rather than tagging on to end of another – even if similar to your issue.
In the new thread describe and detail your present install in as much as possible, theme in use plugins etc.
The aim is to identify why the issue is occurring as it shouldn’t so you do not want to be throwing code into the template files at this stage so remove the code you have added for the moment, until members can have a think and make a few suggestions to resolving your issue.
I’m closing this thread as it should by now be read only really.
Hi
I seem to have the same problem, not able to create groups.
I followed the steps above and now have a piece of code that looks like this.
` <a class="button" href="”>`
This, however, only results in a 404 on the groups part of buddypress. Does anybody have an idea of what I did wrong?

So you are also using ‘BuddyPress Multilingual’ plugin?
Yes it is. There is a multilangual tool for buddypress also.
@aronprins Cool. What’s the link?
@mercime, Hey!
Ive converted the Division theme by Templatic for BP – how do i add my link to your page? 
Cheers,
Aron
Following link shows you the steps of the BP template pack – compatibility process. Near the bottom of the link, you’ll find the list of WP theme’s we’ve “template-packed” so far. Check if your WP theme is listed there. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
Wow, perfect! So simple and works @ChrisClayton! Thanks a bunch guys!
Cheers
`function my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen333_content() {
global $bp;
query_posts( ‘author=’ . $bp->displayed_user->id );
// the Loop
if (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content( ‘Read the full post »’ );
endif;
}
`
If you don’t tell it to use the global data, then it will assume you have defined it inside the function (and since you haven’t defined it, returns it false)
But, as @hnla said – you can just use the function (which will do the same thing as the above, with less code and easier to use)
`function my_profile_page_function_to_show_screen333_content() {
query_posts( ‘author=’ . bp_displayed_user_id() );
// the Loop
if (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content( ‘Read the full post »’ );
endif;
}
`
Have you registered the buttons in your theme?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L125
`add_action( ‘bp_group_header_actions’, ‘bp_group_join_button’, 5 );`
have no idea i googled “bp_is_member” cause i knew this would probably be the main reason that it wouldn’t work. found a site called http://phpxref.ftwr.co.uk/buddypress/nav.html?_functions/index.html
went to my cpanel of the location it gave me and just changed it in the optionsbar.php.
past picture was from a previous install but with this new installation i had the same issue until i changed it to user.

Is WPML compatible with BuddyPress? Have you asked its authors?
aha thanks Hugo. took a look at plugins/buddypress/bp-core/deprecated/1.5.php tried changing bp_is_member to bp_is_user and it works now. I only hope this is the right way to do it. oO
Hmmm, buddypress won’t let me post the code. Telling me I already posted it… Here is my child-theme’s full functions.php code: http://pastebin.com/ADbF82xL
Can you clarify which files you mean when you say “the settings folder from the core BP files”? Do you mean the following:
`buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/settings/`
If so, these files *should* be getting copied over at the same time that the entire `members` directory is copied, during the BP Template Pack setup process. It could be that there is a bug in that plugin causing the problem.
Ok, I believe I am on a bp screen. Here is my full code. This is the “functions.php” in my child theme. It displays 3 custom tabs and in the last tab is where y code struggle is. I think @ChrisClayton is right, I just need to have global $bp; inside the function. I just don’t know how I could code that. I appreciate the help guys, this has literally kept me up 5 hours of last night!
with buddypress 1.5.5, there are two options once buddypress is installed. the left option to install group forums and the option on the right to install sitewide(global) forums. i first installed the group forums. i then returned to the dashboard to install the sitewide forums via the second option that buddypress provided. however, the solution you provided fixed my problem and i appreciate your help and quick response!
@ChrisClayton I’m not so hot with php.. What exactly would my global code be in functions?
guys i already posted the job to find a freelancer… honestly this is way above my level and I don’t have time to work on this
i am not a programmer by the way, i am an accountant! having learned to create wordpress sites and install plugins, I have come far.
@yanodnoralov – You do have `global $bp;` inside the function, right? (Just checking, sometimes it’s the simplest things that get overlooked)
