Avatar upload have never been allowed on this site. The theme just needs updating to remove that option. To set a picture, use gravatar.com, as suggested above 
I suggest (via FTP or similar) that you go into your /plugins/ folder and rename all BuddyPress plugins. This should deactivate those plugins, allowing you back into the backend. You can then rename and reactivate those plugins.
I am new to BP and need to get the following functionality:
BP users need to be able to create and edit Projects and Companies (from frontend). BP users also should be able to add themselves as Project member on a Project or Employee of a Company. Additionally an admin for a Project or Company should be able to add other BP users as admin for that Project/Company (like Facebook with Business Pages).
Has anyone done something like this before? Any tips on how to integrate BP users with these Projects and Companies?
Thanks to @modemlooper for the awesome BuddyPress Mobile plugin. I have been using this while a site build was in development and upon launching the site we have just noticed that the switcher link in the footer of the desktop theme is no longer working. We’ve tested this on iPhones, Androids, and Chrome desktop using an agent switcher. BP Mobile recognizes a mobile browser and does use the mobile theme but if you choose to go to the desktop version, you can’t switch back. The link in the footer just reloads the same page in desktop theme. I deactivated WP Super Cache in case that was interfering. I’m not sure what else could be causing this. Is there a way of using domain mapping or have the footer link specifically link to the mobile theme? Something like ‘mydomain.com/mobile’ or something like that? I’m kinda stuck at this point. Thanks for any help.
You can change your avatar here using http://gravatar.com/
Ohhh, my bad. Good to know. Thanks! 
As I said, I’ve tried to desactivate all plugin except Buddypress.
Common plugins related to Buddypress on those site: BpDev Stealth Mode for Site admin, BP Group Management, BuddyPress Group Email Subscription, Events Manager, U BuddyPress Forum Attachment.
I only see one thing that may have made a difference: before I’ve reverted the primary field to its original state (Name), I was using a different name (Prénom et Nom). Usually this primary field was related to the WordPress field “Name to be displayed publicly” (or something like that). Can it make the data not beiing save because it can’t find the user’s related ID? (It is only speculation, I have no understanding of how it works) And if so, how can I reverted this primary field data value? Deleting it from the database and recreating it?
Thanks
@elgunvo, any news on this plugin?
Thanks
@funmi omoba:
At the top of members-loop.php replace the following code:
`
with: <?php /* My Custom Member Query to order alphabetical by default */
function my_query_filter_new ( $query_string ) {
$query_string .= ‘&per_page=15&type=alphabetical’;
return $query_string;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_ajax_querystring’, ‘my_query_filter_new’ );
?>
`
Note : you can change per page to any number you want
work like a charm

Alan, you don’t have to use the BP Default OR the other plugin to create your own theme. You can create whatever theme you want if you know how. Just tag your style.css with ‘buddypress’ and it will show as a buddypress ready theme. The assumption is that you’ll know how to build that template.
I would say that most people don’t really know how to go about building a template from scratch yet, but as Buddypress gets bigger and more documentation is available, then it will become more commonplace.
PJ we still don’t know what files you found to be an issue, Paul has applied a patch/fix for an issue where avatar paths are hardcoded to ‘http’ – as I suggested might be the issue or one of the issues – knowing exactly what files you had issue with would still help to confirm this is actually the problem.
If the baseurl is correctly set to ‘https’ then ‘http’ isn’t an issue, it’s only an issue at present as the secured page attempts to retrieve objects from a non secured protocol ‘http’
Paul’s links to a ticket where he’s added a patch for the avatar issue this – when included – would normally appear in the next release (1.6) could be ported back to 1.5 branch?, but you may need to add the workaround to your files for the moment.
Have you a link to this site? Is it possible for us to see the mixed content in action?
@mercime
I have contacted my host and checked and confirmed all the setting on the server can support BP.
I create a sub-folder named dev/ and manually installed WP 3.3.1. and then upload the WP-Content folder, and create a new DB and uploaded the DB files into my new DB. That was what i did.
I tried to create a group name under profile setting, But it can’t allow me to create one.
That’s so much i have done, but still cannot get the BP up and running.
I don;t know what else i can do…
PJParticipant
Hmm, I’m a bit confused.
So I have to change all instances of http in all of my files to https?
Even if avatars are forced to https why would http be an issue?
Paul, did you find a fix or do I have to wait for another version to come out?
I don’t think I follow. Unless you are using the default BP theme you have to use the other plugin also. Unless you are assuming 99% of users are using the default theme, why not just make one plugin instead of two?
This plugin works in thousands of sites. Re-reading your previous posts, have you checked whether you can add profile fields in BuddyPress > Profiles in base group? Have you contacted your host’s tech support and/or checked your forums re any issues about BuddyPress installations?
buddypress-links doesn’t appear to be compatible with bp versions 1.5+
Rename or delete the folder (via ftp or control panel) to de-activate the plugin.
See possible fix?
Just committed a fix for what I found.
ONce I updated the buddypress plugin, my entire site crashed and I can’t even login to the admin panel HELP please.. now I get this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_site_admin() in /home/content/08/8857008/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-links/bp-links-core.php on line 704
Hi,
I’m new to Buddypress development and I’m looking to add a button on the page that displays a list of topics within a forum. Creating the markup to create the button that jumps to the form at the bottom of the page is no problem, but I am struggling to find where to modify the template to add the button.
From what I understand, the forum pages use the default ‘page.php’ template from the active wordpress theme. Is there a way to detect when you are on this type of page using some sort of method from buddypress i.e. is_forum_page()?
If this method is not available, can someone point me in the direction of the code within the buddypress plugin that outputs the content, so that I can modify the output?
Apologies if this has already been covered or if I’m missing the point, but I’ve struggled to find an answer to this problem through the forums.
Thanks v much in advance.
I’m not sure what cause the problem but on two sites that use xprofile field (some just use minimal profil field) when some users try to edit and update their profil, nothing happen: no change and no message.
What makes me confuse is that on one site, I can make change as the administrator. On the other, I can’t. both use the lattest version of Buddypress (1.5.5) and I’ve tried to diseable other plugins for conflict, used the default theme and used the same name for the primary field (Name) and primary set of fields (base).
Any idea someone?
After spending an hour trying things, I’ve discovered that if you’re on https, the user avatar includes are always http.
EDIT: Made a ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4110
I have some groups that have got some id in their url.
do you know how to get rid of it?
I’m using buddypress 1.5.5
i upgraded it today but the problem were the before upgrading.
my site url with groups:
http://www.uppsalarollerderby.se/forum/grupper/
the two groups: “Föreningen” and “Webben” seem to have this problem.
I am working on a site for my employer and it is running WordPress 3.3.1 and BuddyPress 1.5.5. The issue we’re encountering is when a user registers they receive their email notification but the Admins of the site never receive an email.
We had been trying to use BuddyPress Registration Options plugin but that was not working either. The group sign up options would appear on the form but the user sign ups were not being moderated.
These two issues may go hand in hand.
I’ve disabled all of the plugins we installed and tried again with no luck. Is there an issue with multiple administrators?
Has anyone encountered this?
