hi people, ihave the same problems, but i dont know with ajax enabled or without. i can’t reply nor favourite something. i can post only. i get 404 page for this kind of stuff. i’m not advanced and i have bpress for a while but never tried ro reply or favorite something. i just noticed this errors. now i have a lot sites indexed, if i would deactivate buddypress i would have a lot 404 pages and this is suboptimal for google. i used the codes and created reply.php under my themes activity section. i also put the code you gave me in the funtcions.php section in my theme folder. should i put this code on the main function.php or the one in my theme? or is this a solution for ajax issues only?now it redirects to the activity page when i reply but i don’t see any replies. i think it is a general issue and not only ajax for me. can you please help me out. i can not code, so please tell me in a beginner language? i also can not favorite something.
@FuriousCigars – Sorry, i end up making fun of comments when i get offended (i have anger-management issues and it’s my way of keeping it under control).Making a (well, what i thought sounded like a) smart alec comment about nobody caring because they didn’t immediately repy to previous postings of yours is offensive. We are ALL (except for one or two of the core developers who are hired by Automattic to ensure the project runs smoothly) volunteers here, I spend countless hours each day (and i know alot of others do too) voluntarily attempting to help people when i can. and when someone says i don’t care, it’s offensive. I’m sorry, like i said it’s my way of keeping my anger-management issues under control.
Anyways. Back to the topic: 404 errors. So that i’m not repeating what you have already tried… do you mind listing everything you have tried? it’s really difficult NOT repeating things when you dont know what has already been said…. or what the problem is.
I am using salutation theme from theme forest and I installed BuddyPress Version 1.5.3, and also I installed the Group Forums.. I’ve created a couple of topics and forums on the backend but it’s not showing up on the site and when I go to the frontend and click on create a topic nothing happens. There seems to be some sort of glitch.
here’s the site http://femininesoul.com/
@Chris If I could figure this out, I wouldn’t be here. I don’t have the skills to work this out on my own.
I did not make a “silly” comment, and you saying “not my problem” is hardly helpful, and only proves that my comment was not silly, but true. I don’t mean to give you attitude, you haven’t done anything to me. It just gets really frustrating when everyone asks you the same questions over and over again. I realize that you don’t know that I have been asked to deactivate plugins countless times, and for that I’m sorry.
I would just say if your going to take your time to try to help someone, having a laugh about their comments is the wrong way to start off.
Thanks for trying, and have a good night yourself.
Hi Guys,
Sorry if this is an easy one. I’ve googled for hours and hours but have had no luck.
I have a buddypress site that i want to have three different user types on. On the first registration page, there should be a few generic fields such as username, email and password. Then there should be an option at the bottom to be one of the three user types that i mentioned before.
Once registration has been completed, the user should then be directed to their profile page with the options to complete more fields, which are visible to anyone viewing the profile.
These additional profile fields should be unique, dependant on which of the three user types were chosen on the original registration page.
I have tried using the in built ‘profile fields’ options and various ‘role’ and ‘user type’ plugins but i cannot get anything to work.
Any help is hugely hugely appreciated.
Thank you guys.
in buddypress default theme, when user delete their avatar, their avatar will change to the default avatar (wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg) and avatar’s delete link is not disappear.
i think “delete link” should disappear when a user use a default avatar.
how to solve this problem ?
thank you.
Hello, i am trying to make my registration very simple and to allow better variety of usernames i wish to use the wp register system NOT the buddypress.
If i go to domain.com/wp-login.php?action=register
it redirects to domain.com/register… which is very annoying.
Any help?
@FuriousCigars – My apologies, i didn’t realize that me taking 10 minutes out of my time to try and help meant i couldn’t make a laugh out of a silly comment you made…
I am a buddypress user just like you. I post here and try and help others who are having trouble because i’d expect them to do the same for me. I didn’t need to attempt to help you and thus i dont appreciate you claiming that i post garbage. Thank You. It’s people with attitudes like yours that cause others not to help around here.
Have a good night. Hope you figure it out.
@chris I have already deactivated plugins, used default theme, and gone through countless posts on here trying fixes, including the permalink saving.
Also referring to your comment on my quote, …thats your problem……that’s precisely the garbage I’ve been seeing here that makes want to get rid of buddypress….I mean did you really need to quote my frustration. Thanks for the very helpful attitude.
@guap yes I have tried those things…thanks for trying to help
i get an error simlar to this when i try to use any activity stream functions
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_settings_slug() in /home/blockwor/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-messages/bp-messages-notifications.php on line 20
I’m not sure if this will help but today I started getting all 404 errors except on my home page. The blog posts, member pages, forum pages, etc all 404 errors. First I deactivated all my plugins and then checked that, still 404 errors so I reactivated them.
Then I changed the permalink structure I had set back to default. This fixed it. I then switched the permalink structure back again to my preference and what all my exiting links are (previous setting) and it is now working fine.
I don’t know why this happen but maybe doing that will help you as well. Good luck
1. from a quick firebugging it seems to be the overflow: hidden on your #container causing the damage. 
2. You may want to have a look at this – https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/
@FuriousCigars “I doubt anyone here is really worried about my one site” I’m worried. Not about you deactivating buddypress, that’s your problem… but i am worried about your site 
Firstly, have you read through the codex? https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/navigation-links-return-404-errors/
Secondly, are you running any other WordPress plugins? Their usually the common cause of 404 errors (in my experience). If you can, deactivate them all (except for buddypress) and see if the problem gets resolved. if it is resolved start reactivating them all one by one to find the culprit.
@DJpaul it is hooked into wordpress’ function, so yeah, nothing was missed (…i think)
lol
I was just curious as to why it exists in the first place as i was looking through the bp default theme and noticed it in the header.php file. is it just an old function from the golden days, or should buddypress themes use that function instead of get_bloginfo?
Hi,
Wordpress 3.3.1 updated from current last version
Buddypress 1.5.3.1 upgraded from the current last version
Host: Dreamhost
Server: Apache
Rewrite module is ON
Theme I’m Using: Mingle – a buddypress ready theme.
I have already gone over everything 404 related on here with no luck at getting help or a fix. I have already spoke to dreamhost and had them check everything on my site. They are telling me this issue is with wordpress/buddypress. I just found out about this issue from a site member a couple days ago. THis is on my live site.
If I can’t get help to get this resolved today, I am deleting buddypress. I doubt anyone here is really worried about my one site running your plugin due to all of the people that do use buddypress, I just don’t have the time to continuously hit forums all day, and get little to no response.
Some help would be nice.
What’s the chance of having a “Share This” option similar to Facebook, so that members can click on a share button that will then let them post content directly to a community group or groups?
Scribefire/twitter posting for buddypress…
@mercime,
I’ve verified that the BP files on our BlueHost server are in agreement with the table published following step 5 of the activation wizard outline.
Given this fact, do you suppose I might have a good BP install and simply need to work through the Genesis Child Theme tempate issues to get a good presentation outcome for BP?
Genesis Connect claims to make changes in the way log ins are handled and reports in the Genesis Connect support forum as follows:
**************Quote
Actually, GC *does* offer extra functionality, in addition to the required templates I mentioned in the other thread.
Custom registration llink to stop spammers, support for Simple Menus and Simple Sidebars, so you can have different menus and/or sidebars on the BuddyPress pages, and showing whether the user is logged in or not.
I’ve attached an image of the Settings page for GC.
If you do try out the BP template pack, be aware it physically places files and folders in your child theme. They *must* be removed before you use GenesisConnect, becasue they will override the plugin. ************* End of quote
In my case,support at StudioPress believes that a re-install may not be required.

Thanks for your further review. I’ll appreciate any further thoughts you might offer.

Hi Guys,
Few questions….. Sorry 
I have created a buddypress site on http://goo.gl/CZZ1j when I open it on Chrome, Safari and IE it is ok but when I open it on Firefox it goes to the right. Any idea why? I built my theme off using the Frisco one as a basis.
Also is there a way to build an activity stream that shows yourself and just your friends like on fb? So far I just have my friends my posts don’t show up
Any idea how to make the display picture enlarge when you click it so you can zoom in on the pic?
If I understand this correctly, Groups that I join, I get no notification that there is activity in it? I have to actually go to the group and check it? Why even join it then? And I only get email notifications? Is there anyway to get them sent to my buddypress account under notifications?
If I’m missing something, please let me know.
I installed the site wide forums on Buddy Press and they don’t seem to be working. I can create a new forum, but only the name and description of the forum shows up with no way to add a topic. You can see the forums I created here:
http://diabeticclub.com/forums/forums/fitness/
http://diabeticclub.com/forums/forums/diabetic-testing-equipment/
Also, it seems to have created the forums under a directory of forums/forums instead of forums. I can manually set the menu to match, but this seems weird.
The main forum page that was created is at http://diabeticclub.com/forums/ and has the bb press short code but doesn’t seem to work any better.
I tried creating another test page at http://diabeticclub.com/test-forums/ and added the forum short code of [bbp-forum-index] and it seems to display the forum better but when I click on one of the forums to post, it goes back to the first links above.
Any ideas? Thanks.

We’re a fan site for the video game studio Robot Entertainment.
We built the site using Buddypress and WordPress as it allows our authors to be able to easily edit content in an accessible WordPress CMS. While Buddypress allows us to leverage plugins to give us excellent features without too much coding over head. Yay for Buddypress!
Our site is: http://www.robotentertainmentfans.com
I’m trying to show content to members of a certain group in BuddyPress. Is there a function (or some way) to find out which groups the current user is a member of?
Thanks in advance!
