Thanks Hugo, I tested it with all plugins deactivated except for BuddyPress and bbPress, and the problem persists. I’ll need to test it with the default theme as well, and possibly revert back to BuddyPress 1.6 to see if it still happens.
The only change I made recently was update to BuddyPress 1.7 and change from sitewide forums to group forms.
I’ll have another test and see what I can find. Thanks for putting me on the right path
This should have dealt with quite a few versions back so something may have crept back in. If you can ensure this isn’t some odd plugin issue and that this definitely wasn’t happening in 1.6 please open a ticket on http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org using your site credentials.
I will just add though that a quick test on a local install running trunk does NOT show any issue like this, so check carefully it isn’t plugin issue also scan through trac to see if there was a recent ticket and fix put in place.
Hi, loving the look of BP1.7.1 so far. Thanks!
I have WP 3.5.1 installed and BP 1.7.1, hosted by Bluehost.
Problem: new users cannot friend people or post updates. If they post an update, BP loads the front page of my site into the frame below, where it should take them back to the activity stream (which is confusing (and looks horrible). This problem existed before I upgraded to 1.7 and the upgrade did not fix it.
I run an annual challenge and the weird thing is last year’s members can post just fine. New members can join, activate their membership, post on the main blog’s comments. My forums imported perfectly to the new bbPress (as far as I can tell). They just can’t user the community features.
Additional Info: I changed my admin name in the database after the recent ‘admin’ hacking scare, and broke something before I discovered that you have to make an additional change in the database for multisite (sitemeta…). Is it possible there is something I didn’t change that is screwing up BP? Oh, and I have tried using the default theme with no joy. All plugins are up to date (just Buddypress, WPFootnotes, Premise, All In One SEO,
Thanks in advance for your help.
One general question: Are security reasons for updates always clearly listed in Changelog of a version? Cause you know, some will not always want to update. But of course if there is a security reason…
I’m using BuddyPress 1.7.1, and just noticed that discussions from private groups are appearing as updates in the activity stream.
This didn’t happen when I was using BuddyPress 1.6 and bbPress 2.3 sitewide forums. But I just noticed it started happening with the latest BuddyPress and group forums. A lot of my users aren’t pleased that their discussions, which they thought were private in their group, are now being displayed to other users on the site.
Is there a way to prevent private group discussions from leaking out into the public activity stream?
Nevermind what I said – I no longer believe it to be true. It works just fine on another child theme I just tested it on. My problem, I believe, concerns a parent theme that doesn’t use the style.css file in the traditional way – it’s likely that with more work on my child theme, I could get it to work with BuddyPress.
I am also experiencing this problem with a very simple child theme. It is my theory that with BuddyPress 1.7 – and with now the plugin doing all of the heavy lifting of applying BuddyPress styles on top of any theme – that it doesn’t work well with Child themes, whereas, when it loads an activated child theme, it chooses to load the parent / template theme only.
I hope I’m making sense. I don’t know where to begin looking in the BuddyPress code to see where the problem is coming from – but if it could be fixed, I’d sure appreciate it. Using child themes makes the world a better place and allows us to painlessly update our parent / template themes.
Otherwise, 1.7 is leaps ahead of where BP used to be and I’m looking forward to getting it working on my site. Soon.
Hello guys,
I’ve recently upgraded my BP from 1.6.5 to 1.7.1
Then i discovered that Group Forum is retired and tells me to use bbpress. After i installed bbpress, the Forum section no longer works. It shows a blank page with Edit Post link. Clicking on the link directs me to Post section of admin end. What’s happened? In 1.6.5, clicking on Forums link on dashboard used to direct me to Group Forum. Now it’s just the blank page. Am i doing something wrong or Buddypress has no longer forum section?
Thank you for any hint. I miss my forum 🙁
When Buddypress isn’t installed I can get to my dashboard area from the admin toolbar that appears at the top right hand corner of my screen by Howdy. Good thing.
When Buddypress is installed the dashboard link in the admin toolbar no longer takes me to profile.php or
It takes me to
members/admin/profile/edit/group/1/
How do I now access the dashboard from the toolbar?

Ah found this, might be useful for others:

Reverie loads jQuery 1.9.1 from Google. We load jCrop 0.9.10 from WordPress core, and it seems these versions don’t work with each other.
Upgrading to WP 3.6 trunk/beta 1 should resolve the issue, or you can just change Reverie to stop it loading jQuery from Google.
OK thanks, here is the link in case someone does know:

See:

You need to supply more info than just what version of BP and WP your using like theme, plugins, etc.
I had this issue once and it was a theme that conflicted with js so if your using anything other than twenty twelve or bp-default then activate one of those instead to test if the crop works and if so then you narrowed it down to a theme.
Hi
I’m running WordPress 3.5.1 and Buddypress 1.7
The crop avatar function is not working. Uploading the picture works, and previews the image, but there is no way to crop – the crop icons do not appear and dragging the image does nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ian
@aliceembroid
Can’t be certain about what would cause this but for starters your using a bunch of outdated plugins and an outdated theme that I believe @modemlooper removed from the repo. You are probably going to have get a theme that is isn’t outdated and uses standard wordpress template structures. With the new compatibility you really wont need the buddypress template pack. I would advise you to read the readme.txt that came with all those plugins as well and the ones that are outdated you need to deactivate each one using the process of elimination and test until you find the culprit, then ask the author for support. If that doesn’t get you any help then you may want to consider hiring a well skilled developer to sort it out for you.
Yep you can’t really copy bp-default theme index.php to a theme compat file. Your buddypress.php needs to be page.php complete with the WP loop (perhaps copying 2012 not a good choice as it calls a separate file for the WP loop) With a buddypress.php file complete with WP loop you’ll then need to replicate in it your themes essential parts that grab the site header and footer as seen in your themes page.php and any html markup that your theme uses.
This may be something you need to approach the theme author about, explain you’re trying to use BuddyPress but that you need a page.php with a structure that both supports the theme and uses a standard WP loop, or use pastebin to copy the contents of your themes page.php to and someone may be able to suggest how to modify.
But support for third party themes is going to be somewhat limited as it’s not the primary purpose of the forum.
thanks for the reply @chouf1!
this error is a virgin, last default wordpress/buddypress/bbpress installation there.
go through with the description, thank you.
hi @kukac7 !
with BP 1.6.5 some settings have changed while using forums and bbpres 2.2
Read here for specifics about this version and bbpress migration:

@fernon,
be more specific please !
i’ve seen in other topics that this is a bug in Buddypress. URL ?
Problem can be theme related. Which theme do you use ?
There’re only few tickets about timestamp bugs.

Hi Hugo,
I did tried using the page.php of the twenty-twelve but that wasn’t working.
So I copied the contents of the index.php in Buddypress default theme and replaced it with contents in the new buddypress.php and got this error. Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_dtheme_content_nav() in /home/content/05/10950405/html/wp-content/themes/belief-child/buddypress.php on line 14
So I deleted the code on line 14 which is <?php bp_dtheme_content_nav( 'nav-above' ); ?>
Now somehow, it seems to work but the whole page is somewhat distorted.
I guess if I can get assisance on configuring the buddypress.php. It should work.
I’ll be expecting your kind advise.
The link as it is still there. You may take a look to see how it is. fruitbearerschapel.org/community
Well your theme is running in BP theme compatibility mode as your loading the legacy stylesheet. Blank pages might mean your themes page.php which BP uses isn’t written in a way that BP can use, try copying page.php from twentytwelve to your theme and renaming it buddypress.php and see if that works to display BP screens, it won’t be the solution but might point to the issue and from there you might be able to further customize that copy with parts your theme may need.
hi,
last vanilla wordpress, buddypress, bbpress installation on localhost (mamp).
the group topic will not appear in the parent group forum.
I do not know the group admins to choose a group forum dropdown menu to set the board at a forum where the category.
if the “group forums” forum type, you can choose from but not saved.
this appears: “Network administrators can reconfigure which forum belongs to this group.”
is the set well.
I made based on the description, but we could not good:
if I create a group of threads, then the mysite.com/forums page does not appear in the “group forums”.
is it possible that a group topic in the wp admin > topics seeing?
thanks for your help!
I’ve thought about this for years and searched for the others Q&A on this (which are all dated rather a long time ago) so I’d like to ask, does buddypress now come with the necessary API’s for phone app developers to make apps that aren’t simply web pages?
Do we still depend on mobile themes ?
Is it possible to make up the necessary API’s via third party to enable a buddypress phone app?
Any feedback would be welcome, thank you
