@r-a-y thanks for the advice. This works but unfortunately the image size is still in place. I now have a 1 pixel x 1 pixel image stretched to 650px by 250px when a user doesn’t upload an avtar. This is still further than I was but not a very elegant solution.
Seems like there should be a way to write it so the avatar is only displayed if there was one uploaded. If not, nothing is displayed just like the extended profile field data “if bp_field_has_data”. Again, thanks for the help!
I have the same problem, that is the member registered and the display name (Full name) is overwritten by username. And also I cannot change it using edit profiles (I typed the new one but it is still overwritten. @r-a-y do you have any other solution? and for edit profile?
Wordpress is installed at the root domain.
I went through the upgrade process.
It’s a multi-site install.
It’s not the default theme; although the default theme has the same problems.
The /membership-information/ URLs are all pages.
I’ve tried changing the members page, slug, resaving permalinks, and so far nothing has worked. This only affects the members page. The activity, forums, and other buddypress features don’t show content on inappropriate pages.
The URLs load fine; but the content is always the buddypress membership information.
Hey @r-a-y , Thanks! I’ll look into that. Very helpful info!
I had a quick question…
I am on the newest upgrade of buddypress and like I mentioned above, I am trying to customize the registration page to have more like a 123 step process. In that I am trying to bring back the avatar upload on the third step. I got some code to get the user to select an avatar and then crop it correctly ( im using the code from the profile avatar page) . But I can not seem to bind the newly uploaded avatar to the user. Once I log in with the newly registered user he does not have the new avatar. Do I need to log the user in or something in order for this to work properly? But if I log him in it redirects me away from the register page, which makes sense but not what I want.
Thanks again.

Awesome plugins, but I have one tiny little remark (isn’t there always? 
. Buddyvents (my events plugin) is integrated with both Achievements and BP Moderation. Since the latest version I’m outputting some warnings if any of the plugins Buddyvents is integrated with hasn’t been tested with the current version. That’s where I have a slight problem. Achievements is currently at version 2.2, but the constant ACHIEVEMENTS_VERSION is still set to 2.0.6. Similar for BP Moderation. The current version is 0.1.6, but it’s still set to 0.1.5.
The next release, could you guys please update your version number?
Cheers!
Since you’re using:
`add_filter( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav’, ‘__return_true’ );`
You can also define your mystery man image with:

For LINKTOYOURIMAGE.gif, try making it a transparent GIF. That’s probably the best you can do at the moment.

Also, a ticket was just brought up to add CSS classes to avatars:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3922
Keep an eye on that one.
If you’re having trouble with autocomplete even with the friends component enabled, then there’s something wrong. I’m guessing you’re not using the bp-default theme?
Regarding the old snippet I posted, you don’t need that any more to get autocomplete working without the friends component.
Just add the following to your theme’s functions.php or /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:
`define( ‘BP_MESSAGES_AUTOCOMPLETE_ALL’, true );`
> I have a site that has an entire section where the URLs are /membership-information/
I had a quick go at recreating, but couldn’t. What type of content is membership-information, and the URLs underneath? Are they all pages?
It’s doable, @dnxpert and @djpaul.
When there’s an oEmbed item in the activity stream, there’s usually some accompanying meta saved in the activity meta table.
You’ll want to hook into the filters available in BP_Activity_Activity::get() (located in /bp-activitiy/bp-activity-classes.php)
Specifically, you’ll want to do a LEFT JOIN with the activity meta table (wp_bp_activity_meta) and do a search for “meta_key” that beings with “_oembed_”.
If I can get myself around to it, it will be in my oft-delayed oEmbed plugin update.
Also check out /plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-signup.php.
That’s where most of the refactored code is.
When I click on Members, it brings up a Member Directory page containing All Members and My Friends tabs. All Member details are displayed by default but when I click on My Friends, it displays an error message “Sorry, no members found” (and I definitely have friends added). When I click back on All Members, the same error message is displayed. The only time All Member or My Friends details are displayed is if I click on the Member navigation option or refresh the browser. It seems that a manual refresh needs to be done while the tab is selected, e.g., select My Friends tab and do a manual refresh displays the My Friends details.
The same issue is occuring in Groups (All Groups, My Groups), Forum (All Topics, My Topics) and Blog (renamed as Sites in my site – All Sites, My Sites).
I have a WPMU installation version WP 3.3.1, BuddyPress 1.5.3.1 and theme blogs-mu.
I would appreciate assistance to fix the issue.
@davidveldt updating DB info in bb-config.php along with wp-config.php is definitely something to remember when you migrate site from localhost.
@kingary – do you mean you also migrated from localhost and/or that you can’t get Group Forums going?
I’m having the same problem with a brand new install. All my config settings are correct, and I’ve activated forums.
I’m thinking about using it for instructional purposes, but until I can get the forums working, it’s relatively useless for that.
Okay well its the darndest thing…
I created a brand new group (the first I’ve created since updating bb-config.php) and successfully posted a topic. Everything appears to be working fine!
Osha, all of the above is my way of saying – check your bb-config.php file, located in your root folder. Make sure you have the correct `BBDB_NAME`, `BBDB_USER`, `BBDB_PASSWORD` and `BBDB_HOST` filled in. At least that’s where the solution was for me.
Okay, I solved half of the equation. I checked bb-config.php and realized I had never updated my database name, username, password or MySQL hostname, like I did for wp-config.php (funny, nobody ever mentioned that file for every migration tutorial I’ve seen).
I also made sure that the line `$bb->uri = ‘http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/’;` was correct.
Doing these, I can now post topics to groups that were existing before. I still can’t post to a brand new group. I still receive the “This group does not have a forum setup yet” error.
Hi,
I am currently using the striking theme with all updates and wp current etc. It seems that when i was replacing some of the buddypress template files (the ones that bp 3 step was referring for me to change) with the ‘page.php’ code, then replacing the page.php content with the buddypress templates content, some of the pages work and others don’t. i have currently reverted the .php files back to the regular buddypress template coding so that the buddypress plugins will work.
When i change all the required files to match the content from buddypress templates within my striking theme’s page,php content, some of the pages, for example the create group, just shows up blank – but within my template lol – just blank. It’s like the plugin pages don’t like me replacing the code. please help
website is: http://www.naturallyyouskincare.com
look under social media for the buddypress content.
I’m having this same problem and I have disabled all plugins and reverted to the bp-default theme – no luck. I also can’t find a solution to this anywhere.
Everything works fine on my localhost version, but things went haywire when I transferred the site and my database to the server. All my bugs up until now have been database-related, and considering my admin panel no longer had Forums for Groups activated at first (even though it was prior to transfer, and all my other settings were saved just fine), I think this might be as well.
Also, I only receive the “This group does not have a forum” error when I try to post a new topic to a new group I create, post-migration. If I try to post a new topic to an existing group, that I previously set up while on my localhost, I receive the error “There was an error when creating the topic.”
Deactivate the genesis plugins, change theme to Twenty Eleven, then activate BuddyPress, and change theme to bp-default theme. And if everything’s working well, activate your new theme (genesis i presume) and the other genesis plugins.
I did install into the root, not the folder members.
I did go through the install process.
I did not change the page slug for members.
Yes I am using the default buddypress theme.
Just to clarify, where did you install WordPress, at domain root http://yoursite.com/ or elsewhere?
If you did not install in root, did you install in subdirectory named members?
Did you go through the installation process?
Did you change the page slug for members?
Are you using the bp-default theme?
I had the same problem and so i deleted everything, did a fresh install and started over. When I was installing BuddyPress when it asks about the permalinks I chose the second one and continued and it now works EXCEPT for the EDIT PROFILE page, it is doing a 404 error. I noticed the link is removed the %20 in between the words for instance.
/members/CJ%20Gaul/profile/ is the profile link then when I click edit it goes to
/members/CJGaul/profile/edit/group/1
Not sure how to resolve this.
I’ve tried redoing permalinks etc. (I am using a multi-site setup.)
I have a site that has an entire section where the URLs are /membership-information/.
If the URL has ‘member’ in it anywhere; then buddypress is showing the member directory on every one of these pages instead of the page content.
Any ideas how to fix that?
Thank you.
