You’d need to load the lightbox javascript of your choice and change the link info depending on which lightbox you want to use. It’s going to be different depending on which lightbox you choose to use. You may need to add additional Javascript.
I guess if you installed WP Featherlight then you should just need to add the featherlight attributes as specified in the plugin readme. This isn’t specifically a BuddyPress question, it’s a lightbox question and it’s not something I’ve ever done so you might be better off asking the WP Featherlight developer if you are struggling with their instructions.
Hi there, some answers:
1. You can change the layout of profiles by overloading the profile files and css, see: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/theme-compatibility-2/ it’s possibly a bit advanced for you right now but all the files in the plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/your-bp-theme/buddypress can be copied, modified and loaded from your child theme directory. Similarly you can overload the css to make styling and layout changes.
1b. The default is for horizontal navigation unless you’ve changed it in Customizer>>BuddyPress.
2. The BuddyPress extended profile is editable from the front end, and avatar too. It’s only the wordpress profile that’s enditable in admin and most BP sites don’t use that as t’s really set up for authors.
3. I recently posted the code to combine all the profile activity feeds into 1, https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-combine-activity-tabs-to-one/
4. https://wordpress.org/plugins/cb-change-mail-sender/
5+6 are bbPress questions, for the best answer you should post on their forum https://bbpress.org/forums/
7. Assuming you have set up the groups directory page and enabled group creation by users in Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options, users will have the option to create groups on the Groups directory page and also from the Groups menu of the WordPress toolbar ( top right hand side of the screen, hover over your avatar image, drop down will appear one option will be groups.
Which buddypress_functions.php file are you talking about? I’d have thought you’d put it in your themes functions.php file or a bp-custom.php file located in the plugins directory.
Also I’d load it in the action hook ‘bp_setup_nav’, not ‘wp’.
Well, I even tried to switch off Multisite installation of Buddypress and leave it in http://www.yucatanmercado.com but the problem still exist. Only one language can be displayed in English or Spanish.
Any solution?
Maybe there is any file to change it….
Unfortunately, there is still the same problem.
All bilingual pages work only the Buddypress bilingual pages do not work.
Nothing helped even the new installation, different changing of permalinks.
It is strange because all work properly on a single page installation.
If anyone can help, it would be great…….
Thank you very much for all your help……
Hi,
We’re working on launching a new membership site.
Themes: Boss / SocialLearner
Other main plugins:
BuddyPress (Version 4.2.0)
bbPress (Version 2.5.14)
LearnDash (Version 2.6.4)
Memberium (Version 2.84)
We migrated users into WordPress via the Rest API from another system.
I noticed that the nickname on the Extended Profile is being deleted and being copied over into the First Name field when we switch from the Extended Profile tab to the Profile tab when viewing the User in the WP Admin dashboard.
Here are the steps:
1. Open user’s Extended profile in new tab
2. Set Nickname and hit update, then verify it saved.
3. Click on the Profile tab.
4. Now the Nickname is overwritten in the First Name field (which it should not) and saved in the Nickname field on the Profile tab.
5. Click back to the Extended Profile tab.
6. Nickname is empty
7. Click back to the Profile tab
8. The original First Name is now visible in the First Name field and Nickname is still populated with the new nickname.
We can’t figure out what’s happening and need help please! Thank you for any assistance.
Hello,
Please be so kind and help me with my huge problem ( I hope that would be small for you )
1. I installed BuddyPress on my site. The page uses qTranslete X. All was almost good. The two versions were accessible. The Buddypress with Youzer worked quite good.
2. Then I created Multisite (folders)…………….and after 24 hours of hard work, I have only the English version, the Spanish pages are empty.
3. Please be so kind and tell me what shall I do to get the visibility of two language versions. The rest of the pages switch from English to Spanish……without problems.
4. The page name is http://www.yucatanmercado.com . The page work in Multisite enviroment.
Thank you very much for all your help……
Hi there, BuddyPress uses the WordPress login page, so it sounds like it’s working correctly. Unless I’m missing something?
Hi, @venutius.
Thank you for your response.
My problem is that the emails are delayed most of the times and sometimes I don’t receive them.
I tried everything you said above. I deactivated plugins, reinstalled BP Emails. But still, they are the same. Either delayed or not sent.
I am using SiteGround as a server. How can I get it fixed?
I figured this is the issue in BuddyPress from another user also. The activation email not being sent! Is it BuddyPress’s major issue?
Thanks!

Hello,
I have some trouble while configuring the login page with buddypress and wordpress latest version.
I added register and login page in my menu. Register works well, but once the user is registered he cannot connect to the website since the login button in my menu once clicked redirect the user to the wordpress login page. (forcing users to create a wordpress account).
Thanks for your help !
I think it would be possible yes. If you look at plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/your bp theme/buddypress/members/members-loop.php for example, you can see the link for the members avatar being created for the members directory page.
Most lightboxes use a data tag to identify that the link is to open in a light box, so you could overload this file and replace the href with the link to the full size avatar and add the data tag as required.
You’d then need to add the Javascript for the lightbox, probably in a plugin and together that should work.
There’s nothing off the shelf that does this though.
However that would stop the current default of clicking on the avatar taking you to the members profile. That might be a problem for you but I guess you could simple add another button to visit the members profile.
what is the face slap emoji ?
I have torn my site apart — reinstalling, deleting, researching, database row by row, 20 different SQL searches… completely and utterly defeated… I finally come to the conclusion that despite the site crashing during some settings changes, that maybe this isn’t really a conflict/data corruption buddypress issue… its a wordpress issue… so simple… it is hard to admit
Admin > Settings > Discussion > Show Avatars
(who knew ‘show avatars’ unchecked would remove the profile photo editor completely)
really…
We only do BuddyPress support here, for other plugins you should raise a request on their wordpress forum.
This uses the activity loop as an example, but the approach could be modified for the members loop.
Add custom filters to loops and enjoy them within your plugin
Have you got a link to your groups page?
Also, there should be a create groups option in the BuddyPress admin bar dropdown menu. – on your site, hover your mouse over your avatar on the top right side of the screen, a drop down menu should appear, in this list there should be a Groups option, this should open to include a Create Group option.
Since I had a computer crash I can no longer find where I create new groups.
I now created a menu from BuddyPress named Groups, but there is no option in front end to create groups.

Helloooo there BuddyPress! 🙂 🙂
I am new to BuddyPress and I am so excited to learn and use it.
Website: http://ceefworld.org/ – In development, it is not live yet.
Theme: Charity Is Hope: (https://themeforest.net/item/hope-nonprofit-charity-donations/18634753?s_rank=3)
WordPress version: 5.1.1
BuddyPress version: 4.2.0
I have installed BuddyPress and I cannot see any of the default fields on the Registration page or when a person is logged in I don’t see the defaults fields there either, where the can edit their profile or anything.
So, I guess what am I doing wrong? I set-up all settings I wanted but still don’t see them on the front end. What do I need to do?
Thank you for your support. I truly appreciate it,
Christine 🙂
this one will challenge the most experienced gurus
WP Multisite
Buddypress Network Activated
Working fine… until…
I somehow caused a perfect storm of conflicts
I’ll spare you details of all the missteps that went into this mess, but
the Profile Photo does not display on primary main site frontend or user extended edit page in both mainsite user admin or Network user admin – the edit box simply isn’t there in extended profile edit
what is crazy is Profile Photo displays fine on subsites including admin
I’ve done all the standard stuff from deactivating, deleting, clearing, repairing… everything I can think of to find where there might be a
setting that turns off the admin user profile photo
I’ve had a ton of plugins activated/deleted, so I’m thinking there is some legacy code lingering like a festering splinter in the database somewhere, but I can’t imagine where or what to look for
any ideas?
thanks for any help
I am running WordPress 5.1.1 with BuddyPress 4.2.0. On Site-Wide Activity users are able to post update just fine. However when attempting to comment on a post in site-wide activity the “post” button does nothing and will not allow someone to actually post a comment from site-wide activity. If they go to the users profile they can make a comment just fine there.
No I was responding to what wp.com said about it being the theme that could be causing the issue.
Anyway, no we know you can see the BuddyPress Pages Setting and know how to assign your groups page buddypress, you can check to see if you get the groups directory to show.
It’s s bit odd for sure, it’s not even asking you for your login details. the URL is the web address that the link will take you to, if you hover above it, the link will usually be displayed in the bottom left of your screen.
What I notice about it when I view your site is that it’s got a redirect attached, to your register page. This isn’t usual.
Ah, I’ve just clicked it, this is not the usual WordPress login screen, which is what BuddyPress uses. This is something specific to WordPress.com, they seem to be overloading the login page. I think you will have to raise this with WordPress.com support. I think it’s something more generic about their version of login. Like they’ve set it to remember who you are and automatically enter your details for you. So maybe this is standard for wordpress.com sites? Makes testing difficult though.
Why do I get this answer in my thread?
Theme’s don’t interfere with settings pages I’m afraid, You could try switching to the 2017 theme to test. Could you share a screenshot of the BuddyPress Settings page?, you should have four tabs, Components, Options, Pages and Credits. Do you have those?
‘Our sentries tell us that you should not be here’ That’s not a BuddyPress message, or one from WordPress either, could it me some security plugin you’ve added is doing this?
I’d deactivate all other plugins apart from BuddyPress and see if that fixes it. If it does, activate each plugin one by one until you find the one that’s doing it
Hi Anders,
No problem.
About 2 members and 3 members issue:- BuddyPress only lists users who have an active account and have logged in to your site atleast once after you activated BuddyPress.
Please login to your site with that user for 1 time and they will appear in the list.
Regards
Brajesh
