Hello
I’m using 2.6.0 BuddyPress and 5.5.1 WordPress
I CAN NOT upload profile photos – extended profile.
The EDIT PROFILE PHOTO link will not open.
Code looks like this:
<
a href=”#TB_inline?width=800pxpx&inlineId=bp-members-avatar-editor&width=641&height=526″>Edit Profile Photo<
/a>
Urgent assistance appreciated.

Hello Mirko. Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer to your question. However, I wanted to reach out because I am looking into adding video conferencing functionality to a site I am working on. I was looking at using BuddyMeet with BuddyPress as well. So, I am curious if you were able to get this sorted out? I am also curious about your feedback on the use of BuddyMeet? Is it working for you? Are there any other video conferencing plugins you’ve looked into? Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I’m having horrendous issues too from the last Buddypress update. Every single time someone creates an account with my website they receive a ‘fatal error’ message. When I manually activate a new account, I also receive a ‘fatal error’ message and an email advising that there’s a technical issue with my website. The email confirms that there’s an error with the Buddypress plugin.
For years now, when someone clicks the activation link in my emails they are no longer taken to their user dashboard (which is what used to happen), now they are taken to a screen with a pre-populated box containing an activation link. This confuses them and I end up getting an email asking why they can’t access their account.
As a user for the last 3 years I’d really appreciate some valuable feedback (and action!) on the above major issues.
Thanks,
Anita
Hello there,
As we install BuddyPress, regardless of the theme, two new widget areas appear namely:
BuddyPress Member’s Home, and
BuddyPress Group’s Home.
For me, no widget placed in these widget areas appears.
WordPress, BuddyPress and GeneratePress (theme) are all updated to latest versions.
Please help.
Best Regards.
Latest versions:
WordPress
BuddyPress
Twenty Seventeen theme
Is there a way of adding a label or badge to users avatars according to their member types so when avatars are in a list you can see form their badge what member tyoe they are. Like the image below…

Hi there,
I have 8 private groups, each with their own private forum. Is there any way I can display forum activities like replies and created topics in the group activity stream? I would like to use ‘BuddyPress Group Email Subscription’ plugin to notify group members on forum activity relevant to their group.
WordPress version: 5.5.1
BuddyPress version: 6.2.0
bbPress version: 2.6.5
Thanks!
now i found out how to make it work in my child theme (created directory: ‘buddypress’ – ‘members’ and placed the changed kopy of the template in there).
now i’m just searching for the individual user data…
Hi again,
i found the loop-template.
if i have made my changes, where do i store this individual template?
if i put it in my child theme folder, it isn’t working, even if i rebuild the exact path of the buddypress directories.
and i still didn’t find the individual user data…
thanks!
Ok, thanks!
I’m using BuddyPress and the BeTheme
Do i have to search the members loop template in the BuddyPress plugin directory or in the theme directory?
could you tell me how the loop template is named?
and where do i find the profile data?
thanks!
Thanks for the reply but our product is based on buddypress and we are using bp_send_email function to send various custom registered emails.
The issue is that our customers are getting this error and we cannot recommend end user to apply patches .
So I request to release a small update for this fix so that we can ask our users to simply update buddypress plugin
I realized that I need to use the SCREEN OPTIONS pulldown at the top of MENU SETUP to enable the BuddyPress menu elements. Thanks.
Are you using BuddyPress or BuddyBoss ?
Are you using some theme that shows the members in a grid?
You need to find the members loop template and use or add a hook in that template so that you can generate the display of profile data in that area.
Hi, I’m looking for a suitable group plug-in for a website so hope you can help. I’m very new to Buddypress so apologies if this question has already been answered.
Is it possible to download documents (particularly interested in PDF, Word and Excel) from a Group page/wall using Buddypress? The examples I’ve seen so far do not have any examples of this unfortunately.
Thanks in advance,
Luke
Does anyone know how to update the time format for BuddyPress? I’d like to change the format from the default.
20 seconds ago. I’d like to it to read a few seconds ago.
1 day, 7 hours ago. I’d like it to read 1 day ago.
1 week, 2 days ago. I’d like it to read 1 week ago.
2 weeks, 3 days ago. I’d like it to read 2 weeks ago.
And so on..
Does anyone actually know how to achieve this without telling me to look at function bp_core_time_since?
I confirm the OP’s description of the issue.
I have opened a ticket.
When composing a message to more than one user, we get an immediate error message that says “There has been a critical error on your website”. The message will still be sent and you can find it in your sent folder. However, it does not send the copy to the user’s personal email. Sending a message to one single user works fine (with no error message and a copy sent to the user’s personal email).
Everything was working fine until we updated to BuddyPress 6.2.0 and WordPress 5.5. We also run a highend theme.
Advice please.
Hello!
Could someone perhaps help me adapt this code? Currently it shows a copy of all blog comments in the activity feed. I want it to rather show copies of learndash lesson comments to their associated course group. There is a plugin that does this, but it’s glorified with many other features, and the feature that I would like for doesn’t work as it should anyways.
/* Post Comments in Buddypress Activity */
function bca_record_activity($comment_id, $approval) {
if($approval == 1) {
$comment = get_comment($comment_id);
$userlink = bp_core_get_userlink($comment->user_id);
$postlink = '<a href="' . get_permalink($comment->comment_post_ID) . '">'
. get_the_title($comment->comment_post_ID) . '</a>';
bp_activity_add(array(
'action' => sprintf( __( '%1$s commented on the lesson: %2$s', 'buddypress' ),
$userlink, $postlink),
'content' => $comment->comment_content,
'component' => 'bp_plugin',
'user_id' => $comment->user_id,
'type' => 'new_blog_comment',
));
}
}
//comment_post is triggered "just after a comment is saved in the database".
add_action('comment_post', 'bca_record_activity', 10, 2);
// We want activity entries of blog comments to be shown as "mini"-entries
function bca_minify_activity($array) {
$array[] = 'new_blog_comment';
return $array;
}
add_filter('bp_activity_mini_activity_types', 'bca_minify_activity');
// Disables comments on this type of activity entry
function bca_remove_commenting($can_comment) {
if($can_comment == true) {
$can_comment = ! ('new_blog_comment' == bp_get_activity_action_name());
}
return $can_comment;
}
add_filter('bp_activity_can_comment', 'bca_remove_commenting');
Plugin I reference: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-learndash/
Your time and support is greatly appreciated!
I have forgotten where a particular page is in Buddypress. When you first register, you fill out the required and optional profile fields. You also get to choose a visibility to assign to each profile field. Where do I go to edit the visibility choices that were originally made? Thanks.
hi @olamyklebost
I believe the best in this case is to download BuddyPress again and replace the one you have on your server with this downloaded version.
@warrencat,
I have been hoping for a solution to this since 2017. I had to find excuses to force users to hit the save button. The issues that I’m not even importing some large user database in which this limitation becomes more problematic. I’m talking about brand new installation with new users. There is no reason that a new user should have to do this before visibility settings can be applied. It makes absolutely no sense. It’s ironic since Admins’ settings are subservient to a user’s interaction.
And I thought this was a sensitive enough issue that it would have been resolved by now. I’m surprised that more people have not made noise. Apparently it has existed since at least 2013 (https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-x-profile-visibility-doesnt-work/)!
Then another user brought this up prompting the creation of a ticket in the trac system which can be found here:https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8093
This ticket does provide a patch that fixes the issue for the profile details. However, in my case, a user’s last name is supposed to be private but since the last name shows up in more places than in the profile details (i.e. title tag), you are still left with a half-baked solution. But the moment you save, it works flawlessly.
The issue is set to be fixed in version 7. Let’s pray.
Is there a simple way to ensure that users cannot see each others’ BP profiles?
…For example to set BP so that users can only see their own profiles (while admin can see all profiles).
Hello! I’m having a hard time finding a solution to this issue. When I create a subnav tab, the new post/comment box is missing. Any help is appreciated!
Apparently I don’t know how to attach images.
