You can throw in the following code in your /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file:
`function my_group_avatar_default() {
global $bp;
// change ‘identicon’ to anything listed here:
// http://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/images/#default-image
$bp->grav_default->group = ‘identicon’;
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘my_group_avatar_default’ );`
Very strange. Is *any* of the javascript on your BP 1.5 installation working? Places to check: requesting friendships/group memberships from directories; replying to private messages; the “read more” link that appears when you have a very long forum post.
Hi Boone,
Global.js is being loaded.
When I open Firebug I get no errors when I try clicking on things.
Javascript is enabled in my browser.
BP 1.2.10 works fine, as does this site. (I’m speculating that this is a 1.5 install of bp?) So I’m unsure as to whether the problem lies in my browsers but having said that, no-one else seems to be reporting the issue so who knows?
Is there a way to reinstall the interpreter in my browser/on my PC?
(I’m guessing that Javascript is interpreted).
I can give you access to my site but there doesn’t seem much point seeing as I’ve gone back to 1.2.10.
Thanks,
Paul.
It’s difficult to troubleshoot any issues without access to your site. Things to check:
– is global.js being loaded in your document’s head?
– when you open a javascript console (like in Firebug), do you get any errors when you try clicking on things?
– is Javascript enabled in your browser?
@boonebgorges Thanks for the info.
@derekbolden I know that the integration of bbp and bp isn’t 100%, but I’m sure stuff like that will be sorted in new updates.
@DarrenMooney
Thanks for your post! I was really getting frustrated with the forums setup, but your post helped. Now my only concern is the forum posts etc. showing up in my activity stream. Right now they aren’t. Is anyone else experiencing this and is there a work around?
In my version 1.2.10 it’s under general settings for buddypress.
my 1.5 installation fell over so I’m not sure where it is in 1.5 but if I can get 1.5 up and running I’ll re post and tell you the location.
I had Identicon avatars running on 1.5 so I know there is a setting, I just can’t remember where it is in 1.5

Hi Boone, thanks for the reply.
I’ve tried with 2 different FF profiles (latest version) and google chrome, all running on the same computer.
I don’t have another computer to try it on.
I rolled back to bp 1.2.10 (fresh install).
Everything worked fine in 1.2.5 but the automated install to 1.5 failed so I started again from scratch.
How would I go about fixing my javasscript issues if it turns out to be that?
I’m willing to reinstall bp 1.5 and try it again if I can get it to work.
Many thanks,
Paul.
It sounds like BuddyPress’s javascript is not loading properly in your browser. Do you have javascript enabled? Can you give more details on the browser you are using? Can you try with another browser or from another computer?
Also, Custom Profile Filters seems to be working fine with BP 1.5 / WP 3.2.1.
BP User Profile Map seems to be working nicely on BP 1.5 / WP 3.2.1. See in action here
I should have mentioned, I am using the default buddypress theme and I have no other plugins installed.
@angslycke
`What about commercial projects, will you consider a paid version with support and updates so that it’s attractive as a long term solution for BuddyPress projects?`
At this point, no. I’ll consider it if there is enough interest.
@angslycke Yes, 100% free. It has been submitted to the WP theme repository and should be available soon. I will post another message once that’s up. The version submitted to the repository has some minor updates from the github version currently available. So it’s a good idea to wait for the theme repository version for a live site.
First up can we clarify a few things:
1. Is this the drop down search ie; term and you select where you search for it?
2. Is this using the default theme for BuddyPress 1.5 and if you do use that (if haven’t) do you get the same issues?
Thank you boone that worked and that was all i wanted to know and learn it’s a learning curve .I respect that there are volunteers i actually don’t like bumping so trust my i apologize for that. Out of frustration i think you’d understand. Anyways you’re a lifesaver and i won’t bump threads anymore .I know the core team etc, are working hard to get things working. I am now a happy soldier!! 
@darrenmooney
`Its unfortunate that BuddyPress was set up this way`
I agree. We’re working toward a solution that will allow for both sitewide forums and group-specific forums. This solution has been delayed by the impending release of bbPress 2.0 and the long BP 1.5 dev cycle. Now that both of these milestones have passed, we will be able to work toward a more flexible forum solution. You can follow that development on tickets like https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598
The problem with this code is that it hooks to ‘wp’ instead of ‘bp_setup_nav’. Use
`add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘CubePoints_List_Menu’ );`
No need to bump more than once a day. We are all volunteers!
