Just to note, I’m also experiencing buddypress using 1.5 eating memory. My site is terribly slow at the moment.
When I disable buddypress, my site becomes lightning fast again. Specifically, when I installed I get :
“The plugin generated 1 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.”
Did you have the same message echiomega?
Could you point me to the line of the code please enderandrew?
I’ve had a quick look in ‘header.php’ and can’t see it being called twice, but I may well have missed something.
Thanks
Yes i did tried it before without cache and it’s even slower without cache and minify on. Is it just because i’m using too much plugin or is it because of buddypress?
In my old theme where i’m not running buddypress everything loads fine without high load on server.
It looks like you’re loading jquery more than once.
Not a BuddyPress issue. You need to query a WordPress loop for that user and post type. Curious as to why you chose custom post type and not a BuddyPress component?
I think this in bp-custom.php (https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/):
`
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘make_clickable’, 8 );
`
Buddypress is very dynamic and hard to cache. Try turning off wp super cache and wp minify and see if that helps.
You can’t use two themes for same site.
Not a BuddyPress issue. You add widget areas to a theme just like you would to a plain WordPress theme.
Not a BuddyPress issue. You’ll have to search and find a plugin that works for you.
@Milo317 I had a similar problem – uploaded avatars were being chopped/ no crop function.
Check your javascript load order – I found out that a main script wasn’t being pulled in – updated AJAX and correctly referenced and it all started working again.
@twodeuces I’m trying to make it so when a user clicks “Join group” they are taking to the group’s page, instead of left on the directory. could you provide me with some clues on how to do that?
Fresh copy of buddypress&default theme installed, still no avatar showing up nowhere,
might be a subdomain problem?
Ok I gave it another chance as I didn’t have anything to lose really, and this time it’s turned out ok. I think what might’ve been doing it was that with my previous installation, there was an option to enable buddypress theming, forums and groups on all blogs, which I ticked and this time I didn’t.
Thanks for your help
The activity/post issue is known and has been fixed for BuddyPress 1.5.1 (not out yet). In the meantime, either do this https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5187/ or include the default theme’s javascript into your theme.
What did Brajesh say to fix the first problem?
For the 2nd, look at the two points under the Theme Information heading on https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/
You probably need a SMTP email plugin
When you say can’t send out emails are you on a server that has been set up to email? I ask this as you may not be.
Also what happens on activation does it just not send out?

hi again Paul. I’m using CosmicBuddy theme and I was able make the blog link work now as suggested by the creator of the theme.
So now I’m missing the member settings area. My wordpress is a single site and the subdir is bp/. The page is blank when i try to go to /bp/members/admin/settings and /bp/members/admin/forums. Thanks again for your help.
@acurran – This does not work for me. Please test.
Whoa, Just updated to 1.5 current version and this issue started to happen again 
I’ve checked and the file mentioned in https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4939 is “updated”, some clues on where can the error be? Thanks!
What theme are you using? Are you using multisite? What’s the name of the subdir that you’ve installed WordPress into?
