Hey,
I’m assuming you’ve enabled groups in Components and have you tried going to http://yoursite/groups ? There should be a link from Dashboard -> Settings -> BuddyPress -> Pages
I’ve just tested a fresh install of WP, BP 6 and Hueman and all was working.
Today, I tried to install BuddyPress the first time. But I still too stupid to get to running.
First, I tried the actual stable version 5.2.0 without luck. After this, I tried it with 6.0.0RC2 with the same result.
My problem is: I don’t find out, how to create new topics or manage groups.
Is there any special URL doing this?
WordPress: 4.9.13
PHP: 7.3.x
Database: MariaDB 10.4.11
Theme: Hueman 3.5.3
In BuddyPress 5.2, the pages for Members, Activity, Activation and Registering were created automatically. In BP 6 not and the Repair Tool does not create them automatically.
All of these pages are empty for me.
But inside the AdminBar, I see the “0” and I can use the several private pages.
How can I configure the groups, where I can open topics and how do I do this?
Sorry, but it seems I’m too stupid for BP… 🙁
Which settings page are you referring to?
You cannot create a group from the BuddyPress settings page.
If you are the site admin, you should see a ‘Create’ button on this page:
Groups
Hi,
thank you for your answer.
However, I found this solution :
<p class="plist">Pour me tagguer dans un message, veuillez saisir : <strong>@<?php echo bp_member_user_nicename(); ?></strong><br />
<strong>Je suis : </strong><?php echo bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Présentation personnelle' ); ?><br />
<strong>Je représente : </strong><?php echo bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Nom de la structure que je représente et ville pour les bibliothèques et les établissements scolaires' ); ?></p>
And I’ve put that in both members-loop.php from
plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/members/members-loop.php
and
/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/groups/single/members-loop.php
and that works just fine.
thank you for your answer.
I just wonder, I haven’t understand what xprofile is.

Hi there Mercime.
My site is more than six months old. So it is not new. My theme is the same age. I have not imported any forums.
Please try to supply answers to the following questions.
Wordpress Version – 5.4.1
Buddypress Version – 5.1.2
bbPress Version – 2.6.4
Host – Wordplus
I dont know how long the problem has been there as I never noticed it.
As mentioned above I can give access to a staging site for you to see. Even if anyone knows how to hide the duplicates I would be grateful.
Thank you
@shonty Is this a new installation or is this an old install where you changed from another theme or imported forums from e.g. phpbb to bbPress, etc.?
Just like shanebp, I cannot replicate the issue as well.
Do provide more info about your installation – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/
@rootcr8r Could be caused by a variety of reasons. Have you tried changing your theme to the Twenty Nineteen theme to see if issue is resolved? If not, then have you tried disabling all plugins except BuddyPress while on the Twenty Nineteen theme?
@n33d See WordPress 4-year old ticket re updating to jQuery 3+ will cause breaking changes https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/37110
When WP core upgrades, so will BuddyPress. In the meantime, we have to use what’s in WP core.

This is three questions in one, looking for 1-3 plugins that work together to accomplish these things? I can insert code if I’m told exactly how/where to put it, but I’m very much not a coder so I’d prefer to use plugins if I can. lol
1. Can I have multiple Users assigned to one profile (like a business, the owner and an admin person). For example a Business owner sets up a business profile but allows the manager or supervisor access to post jobs or advertising through it?
2. Can I create two different profiles (that have different profile fields upon registration) like a person vs a business under the same site?
3. Can there be profile parents like if a company has 3 locations – a main company profile and 3 child profiles – one for each location so the managers can logon and manage their own accounts with job ads and advertising? And the parent can do the same for the headquarters?
Hi @cmsplay,
You can change the bottom margin of the paragraphs by adding the following style in your theme/child theme:
.activity-list .activity-item .activity-content p {
margin-bottom: 24px; /* Or whatever size you want */
}
As for the forums, bbPress is compatible with BuddyPress. See https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
I’ve taken the files from bp-default, placed them in my child theme in a folder called “buddypress”.
(screenshot from cpanel of folder configurations, dalaran is my theme name https://i.imgur.com/UiFSEln.png)
Things to note:
– Child theme is activated
– bbpress works, as well as my edits to the bbpress HTML
– I’ve tried to reinstall buddypress, and the child template
I’ve followed the guides, although severely outdated, made a working Frankenstein’s monster from it.
Can you visually see anything I could be missing?
Have you assigned the pages under BP settings?
Refreshed your permalinks after making sure they are set correctly?
Check your error logs and browser inspector console.
Have you read: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/blank-pages/
All the BuddyPress tables are restored & can’t detect any BP entries in WP Options Table.
Am I missing something?
Hi guys,
I migrated my site to another domain a while ago. Now I am getting blank pages when I visit the member and activity pages in Buddypress.
I deleted all the BuddyPress WordPress Tables and did a fresh install of Buddypress.
Still get blank pages.
The server error message is:
WordPress database error Table ‘members_healwithdiet.wp_cw_widgets_options’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT * FROM wp_cw_widgets_options WHERE `widget
You can check the error logs your self from the hosting panel, here’s an article to guide you:
https://wpxhosting.com/knowledgebase/article/110/how-to-access-your-error-logs/
The members_healwithdiet is my old site and my new site is at members.riggie.com.
Would appreciate it if someone can tell me how I can fix the above problem.
As I have an existing membership site, I can’t simply do a brand new install.
Thanks,
Riggie
Jobs and businesses are not in the buddypress coding.
If you meant business as in a user profile administrating different capabilities like regular posts, custom posts and Buddypress groups, then WordPress itself has the means.
You can upgrade any user account as a site administrator to become, for example, an editor or author with more capabilities than a normal account.
In a Buddypress group you can manage who’s the groups administrator inside the group under “manage”.
Read about the WordPress roles here: https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/
Read about the Buddypress capabilities here: https://codex.buddypress.org/administrator-guide/groups/

Can Businesses have multiple users that have access and can control their jobs, posts, groups, etc.?
Look at the bp-templates as pre-made themes for Buddypress pages. You can figure out what you’re currently using through your WordPress dashboard > settings > buddypress > options > template pack.
Legacy was the old templating system for Buddypress and a lot of websites still use it. Other new Buddypress installations use Nouveau which is now the default.
So in short, they’re not removing legacy due to many sites still using it, bp-default is there as a fallback should the other two fail and Nouveau is the current templating system for Buddypress.
Edit doesn’t work, so I guess I’ll reply to my own post. Apparently the change I’m looking for resides in cover-image-header.php. Making edits there works fine. This still doesn’t answer why there are so many templates and themes inside of buddypress or why there’s such redundancy in code between files or why the documentation is so poor.
Then again, the Edit link on your own website doesn’t work, so I’m just going to chalk it all up to “BuddyPress being BuddyPress”.
I know the answer to this is probably very simple, so please bear with me.
I’m attempting to override how member-header.php displays using a child theme I made of Customizr.
The problem I’m having is that everything I search online seems to conflict or just not work.
For example there’s a member-header.php file inside of the buddypress plugin, at:
- buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php
- buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php
- buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php
The instructions I’ve found online, of other people trying to do this, say to simply create a folder structure like this: /wp-content/themes/mytheme/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php
I attempted to do this and make edits, but they were never reflected back to the page. If it did work, which of the three above files would I use as my base? Why are there even three locations for this?
On the actual buddypress documentation site, this isn’t really mentioned and instead the 1.8 documentation talks about overriding specific user ids, groups, or using an index.php. The 1.7 documentation does mention overriding via folder structure but the examples aren’t in-depth.
Should I just abandon this and instead do everything via hook overrides? I’m just really confused as to what the modern solution is because I’ve done this back in the day and it wasn’t such a hassle. I feel like I’m missing something simple and I’d sincerely appreciate it if anyone could shed light on the problem.
You can find some answers here:
update group activities just for admins
Keep in mind you’re using Youzer which is overriding a lot of the standard buddypress plugin’s templates, so you’d probably be better off asking in the Youzer forum.
Unless you have a theme or another custom plugin already overriding it somewhere else, here’s where you’ll find it inside the Buddypress plugin.
Legacy
buddypress > bp-templates > bp-legacy > buddypress > groups > single > members.php
Nouveau
buddypress > bp-templates > bp-nouveau >buddypress >groups > single > members-loop.php
profile field
<?php echo xprofile_get_field_data( 'profile field name', bp_get_member_user_id() ); ?>
Remember to override the template with your own in your theme so plugin updates doesn’t override your changes.
I would like for my users to see my posts and be able to comment and like them, but not post themselves. ??

Thanks for the feedback, @vapvarun
I made your suggestion to copy page.php as buddupress.php within my theme.
But it stayed the same.
Then I did the following, included in the buddypress.php file the code below for the widget:
<? php
while (have_posts ()): the_post ();
get_template_part (‘content’, ‘page’);
get_sidebar (‘buddypress’); /* HERE!!! */
endwhile;
?>
Now the widgets appear, but are below the content of the page.
I would like them to stay to the right. Do you know how I should do this?
@joaopaulodr copy page.php as buddypress.php inside the child theme.
