BuddyPress.org

WP/BP versions? What theme are you using and what plugins have you installed?

Have you tried basic troubleshooting by changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress?

BuddyPress.org doesn’t support avatar uploads. We ought to really remove that option.

Use testbp.org to see an out-of-the-box BuddyPress site.

No need to insert block/folder inside the duotive3 theme. That’s what the BP Template Pack is for.

What I see in your second screenshot is that the UL list styles are showing and the layout is not being contained within the div. The style modifications I linked to should be placed at the bottom of other styles in your stylesheet.

For example, the UL list styles should be preceded by UL no list styles because of the following BP Twenty Ten style modifications I linked to above:
`div#item-header ul {
list-style-type: none;
}

ul.item-list {
list-style-type: none;
margin-left: 0;
}

ul#members-list,
ul#groups-list {
list-style-type: none;
margin-left: 0;
}`

Since your site is not live, I can’t troubleshoot what’s going on directly. Use Firebug, a Firefox add-on, to see what’s overriding the modifications you’ve made or us Google Chrome and right click to Inspect Element.

dont look lke a buddypress driven site! specialy he profile fields!

To elaborate on what @DJPaul said – BP uses WP’s logout, which is handled by wp-login.php. In particular, a request is sent to wp-login.php?action=logout, with a redirect_to argument of the current BP page.

If you want to remove all HTML, this should work:

`function bbg_remove_activity_html( $content ) {
return strip_tags( $content );
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_content_body’, ‘bbg_remove_activity_html’, 1 );
add_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_content’, ‘bbg_remove_activity_html’, 1 );
add_filter( ‘bp_activity_content_before_save’, ‘bbg_remove_activity_html’, 1 );`

If you want to remove HTML tags more selectively, check out the filter at the end of this function, which will allow you to modify which tags are allowed: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-activity/bp-activity-filters.php#L90

I’m anxious to hear a response on this as well. I used bbpress for forums initially, but using that with BuddyPress it’s ugly as sin and there isn’t a forums directory page to display all the active forums (otherwise it did work). The interface for the forums inside BuddyPress looks very nice, but from sitewide forums, I couldn’t actually create any forums.

Options currently are:
a forum that works but is awful looking (bbpress)
a forum that looks nice but isn’t really working; at least ‘out of the box’ (BuddyPress)

Finally, this code probably won’t work all by itself, because `messages_get_unread_count()` assumes a logged-in user – but on an AJAX request, you’re not guaranteed to have that. So you may want to amend your ajax call and callback like so, to manually provide a user_id:

` jQuery.ajax({
….
user_id: ”,
….`

Check out the way that bp-default does AJAX (buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc – the files ajax.php (for the PHP callbacks) and global.js (for the scripts). Good luck!

The problem is that when you load message.php via AJAX, you’re not loading all of WordPress and BuddyPress, which means that the messages_get_unread_count() function is not defined.

Instead of using ‘message.php’ as your AJAX url, use the one that BP provides for you, and be sure to provide an ‘action’ parameter:
` jQuery.ajax({
url: ajaxurl,
action: ‘get_message_count’,
dataType….`

That’ll ensure that WP/BP is loaded on your AJAX call.

Then, you’ll need to make sure that you have a listener function in your functions.php, using the `wp_ajax_` syntax. (Read more here: http://w4dev.com/wp/wp_ajax/) Use `wp_ajax_` plus your chosen action name to define the hook:

`function bbg_messages_ajax_callback() {
echo messages_get_unread_count();
die();
}
add_action( ‘wp_ajax_get_message_count’, ‘bbg_messages_ajax_callback’ );`

Hi @takuya and @cyrille13 – Sorry for some of the miscommunications above. It was only after seeing the linked bug report that I was able recognize that what you were reporting was actually an instance of https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3725, which we’ve known about for a while, but which was very difficult to track down. (See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3725#comment:7 for all the gory details.) It has been fixed for the next version of BP. In the meantime, you can fix your installation either by manually applying https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5778, or by doing what @cyrille13 suggests: changing the name of your Full Name profile field at Dashboard > BuddyPress > Profile Fields.

Thanks for your patience.

Usually, those who use genesis or genesis child themes, also use the genesis connect plugin for BuddyPress compatibility. Having said that, looks like you’ve been successful using the BP Template Pack plugin.

You can use some or all of the style modifications used for BP Twenty Ten as posted in middle of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

WP/BP versions?

Have you:
1. re-run Settings > Permalinks and Set to something other than default permalink?
2. done basic troubleshooting like changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress?
3. deactivated bp-custom.php (if you have one) by renaming the file?

You’re welcome.
