Haven’t looked, where can I find the error logs?
Depends on your hosting service. Usually found in Control Panel or Plesk or in root folder.
But you didn’t mention whether anything is shown on screen when the activation link is clicked.
You might also want to verify that your hosting meets the minimum requirements if you haven’t already. No idea if that’s what’s causing your issue but can’t hurt to check.

It’s always easiest to troubleshoot core functionality (new users, new forum posts, new groups, upload avatar, new blog posts, etc.) before you start adding plugins or customizing anything. If you come up empty in error logs, I’d recommend a clean install so that you can better troubleshoot the issue. Otherwise, you might end up chasing your tail.
I only have BuddyPress installed on the sub-domain and not on the main site
The legacy message is for backwards compatibility. It’s totally meant to be there in some situations, so it’s not a problem.
How exactly are the widgets “not working”?
Is there any message shown on screen or in error logs when you attempt to activate?
No. Haven’t looked, where can I find the error logs?
Were you ever able to activate a user on your install before now?
No. This is a brand new install, and these are the results from the first time testing.
Are you using the bp-default theme?
Yes. Theme: BuddyPress Default
Do you have BuddyPress activated network-wide, or only on one of the sites?
Hi mercime
Thanks for responding. The thing is this, I updated the plugin to 1.6. So the buddypress plugin is 1.6. That’s why i don’t understand why I was getting that legacy error because I had updated the plugin. I also uninstalled the plugin and installed it back as well and its still causing the same problem.
My server is running PHP version 5.3.15 and MYSQL 5.5.23. I have WordPress installed on the root of my Subdomain. When I install the plugin I am able to go into the settings and save changes but I am missing all of the additional functionality that I need in the installation wizard. Please help.
Great. It will not resurrect the old activities but will start “recording” your activities now.
== i need this plugin in order to make a community out of it. HELP!! ==
@business31 You need to follow up with the plugin author to update the plugin to be compatible with BP 1.6.1. Which plugin is it?
@perywinkle
I followed your awesome tutorial here: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/excluding-roles-from-the-member-loop/
I was able to keep subscribers out, but I am using Woocommerce which also adds a “customer” role. I can’t seem to exclude that. Is this possible or am I not doing it right? I added it like this…
if ( $user->roles[0] != 'subscriber,customer' ) : ?>
I updated my buddypress plugin to1.6 and now its messing with my other widgets. When I deactivate the buddypress 1.6 then my other widgets starts working, but when I activate the plugin then the widgets will not move.
I don’t understand because I have wordpress 3.4.1.
Also I’m seeing this as well in my back office: Don’t worry! We’ve moved the BuddyPress options into more convenient and easier to find locations. You’re seeing this page because you are running a legacy BuddyPress plugin which has not been updated.
i need this plugin in order to make a community out of it. HELP!!
Actually I even went ahead and deactivated bbpress, and still no luck. If i deactivate BuddyPress, the registration is not even applicable
Sorry, that may have been misleading. I disabled all of them except the bbPress and BuddyPress plugins, which are necessary to have most of the site itself work.
Nope, If i go to Forums/Topics Started or replies it still comes up blank.
Ok I did that, I’ll see if it works.
Hi All, am having problem with users saying that they cannot create new groups. I logged in to site and created a group now problem. I then registered a new user, and logged in and tried to create a new group.. and what happens is when loading the first step, a browser alert box with nothing but the site url pops up and when you close it it redirects you to the the site landing page.
I am running WordPress 3.4.2 with BuddyPress 1.6.1 on multi site (this occurs on main site). Plugins that might have bearing here being BP Group Management and BP Group Hierarchy, also Membership Premium from WPMUDEV,
All members are automatically assigned Subscriber status ( I tried Contributor as well) and assigned a “Free Membership” level in Membership Premium. I have checked and double checked all access rights to all pages and posts, menu’s etc and as a test gave registered members full access to every option in membership Premium, but that changed nothing
In BP Settings have enabled “Enable group creation for all users “, also set the amount of groups and forums a user can create to 3. “Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums ” is ticked as ON and lastly in CubePoints set “Enter how many points a member must have before they have access to create a tribe.” to ….. and as i am typing this i realize, and i realize….. and yes, i set that down to zero and all works again, and i just obviously needed to talk to a few professionals …
thanks for listening
@shanebp,
Could you provide a reference of that plugin implemented for a BuddyPress site? I don’t see any examples (on their site) that specifically illustrate a BuddyPress implementation.
@verteus,
If all you’re looking for is a WordPress event plugin, here’s another you may want to research: http://eventespresso.com
hello, there
i also face same problem and i follow your method but can’t success !!!
i also deactivate and reactivate plugin of buddypress
what i do next ???????
Right paul,
How can I correct this?
Wanna look at the code?
Are you saying if you set a BuddyPress page as the page-on-front, your code doesn’t work?
== My header-buddypress.php: starts with include ( ‘header.php’ ); then some html tag, no php ==
And therein lays the answer to the strange behavior. What hnla said above. header.php is a special template file which is not meant to be included in another file except via get_header call. To resolve your issue, create header-buddypress.php the way I mentioned above. Do the same for your footer-buddypress.php, footer.php is another special file which should only be called via get_footer()
MAN U ROCK HARD
You’re a guru. I don’t know how to thank you for your help and precious time, I don’t doubt, you dedicated to fixing my problem. You sincerely deserve a standing applause for your effort. Thank you a million for your kind consideration, I really, sincerely appreciate it.
Btw, if I want to get rid of the sidebar, other than modifying my css for sidebar{display:none;}, is there a way to exclude it from the code you compiled? SOrry, am merely a designer not a programmer. I also want to list the members like an album view sort like (in rows and columns – grid like). Can you also help?
‘header’ does not generally call header a second time. Duplicate code shouldn’t be an issue, the point of’-buddypress’ suffix is so you can call different versions of a header file – header.php or header-buddypress.php
I think you need to show copies of your main files so it’s clear what you have done use pastebin to show copies of header, footer, a general page and a BP directory index.
my header-buddypress.php:
starts with `include ( ‘header.php’ );` then some html tag, no php
rather than copying the contents of header.php and have duplicate code I thought it’s better to use include
same for footer-buddypress.php, I first close the html tags I had openend in header-buddypress.php then include the footer.php
there shouldn’t be duplicates of `wp_head()`; either I type `wp_head()` or `include( ‘header.php’ )` where `wp_head()` is called once, what would be the difference?
however, I just noticed that the members page / activity page is ok; what is not ok are the individual member profile pages
