I had the same problem. I disabled WP User Avatar which solved the problem.
This plugin is apparently not compatiple with BuddyPress. The FAQ for the plugin says:
Will WP User Avatar work with BuddyPress?
No, BuddyPress has its own custom avatar functions and WP User Avatar will override only some of them. It’s best to use BuddyPress without WP User Avatar.
You should be able to do that by overloading plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/members/single/profile.php, you can place your modified copy in themes/child-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile.php.
I’m using 5.1.1 in WordPress and latest Buddypress version (Nouveau template). It is currently in a subdomain (sandbox) for now. I’m also using a child theme to make adjustments. I would like to move the navigation on all pages to ABOVE the the cover image/avatar. Or just move the coverimage/avatar to below the navigation. Is this an easy adjustment?

Side note – Buddypress is impressive.
Hi there, WordPress and BuddyPress are predominately PHP applications. PHP requires a page load in order to view new content and this is what you are seeing – you click a menu item a new page loads and it starts from the top of the page again. There are tricks to bring the page focus back to where you were and BP uses these where appropriate, another trick is to use Javescript to fetch now content and again BP uses this, in the activity page for example. But when you are clicking a main link, an entire now page is going to be loaded to there’s not a reference of where you were in order to set the new page focus. So in short, it’s the way WordPress and BuddyPress have been written, yu’d need to do a significant rewrite to change it.
Hello @Venutius,
I’ve checked Buddypress options it shows Buddypress Legacy template.
Please find below the snap shot.

Hello! In the theme that I have installed I can only use Legacy Buddypress, is there any code where I can modify it? or css?
Thank you very much for the response!
Deactivate all other plugins apart from BuddyPress and see if it works.
You can see which BP Theme you are using by going to Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options
Have you looked at the BP Nouveau theme (Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options ) this allows you to set up vertical menus in Customizer.
Found a solution:
replaced line 61
in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/groups/single/cover-image-header.php
<?php bp_group_description(); ?>
by
<?php bp_nouveau_group_description_excerpt(); ?>
I do not know what you mean by your question. I use BuddyPress options for members profile
Se video:
Hi andhi,
Are you able to crop with just BuddyPress loaded and with a default theme such as 2017?
Thanks for sharing your solution. Shortening the filename worked for me too.
I’m going to search Buddypress Trac and see if the authors are aware of it. I’ll report it if it’s not in there.
You’ll need to use this filter:
apply_filters( 'bp_core_get_suggestions', $retval, $args );
For more info, find that filter in this file:
...wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-functions.php
How you retrieve the ‘denied’ users will depend on how they are handled by the other code or plugins.
If you do not know how to get an array of the denied user ids, you should ask the creators of that other code or plugins.
Have you deactivated user creation of groups in Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options?
Right now I can see it pointing to https://hagdahlseniorcenter.com/register but there’s no registration form there, the plugin should provide some way to add it”
Did you follow the instructions on how to set up a register page?
Register and Activation Pages
For now, click the ‘Log In’ link, then scroll down to ‘Create a new account’ and click it.
You don’t see a log in link on your site? Perhaps the term ‘log in’ is in swedish.
Deactivate the BuddyPress plugin and then try to register on your site.
If you do not understand how to to that, then please contact the support team at wordpress.com .
i do not understand.
When I click on Buddy Press plugin, it say
Our community have free support
https://buddypress.org/support/.
I get very confused!
And i do not understand your answer:
For now, click the ‘Log In’ link, then scroll down to ‘Create a new account’ and click it.
Hi there, another plugin to help you is https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/ this will allow you to restrict members from creating more than one group.
If I updated this to include a restriction based on the number of group membership then that would help.
Looking at the code you’d also need to restrict the group join button showing so that it only shows for members not already in a group. How you do this depends on the BP Theme you are using, Legacy or Nouveau.
These are the BuddyPress forums.
The bbpress forums are here.
Good day,
I currently working on my office project. which is a website for managing a hackathon event that occurs every year. Our users will be in teams of 3 people and will be able to post about their project live on our website.
Last year we did with hackerearth.com but this year our company hire me to build a website. Now I’ve used Buddypress for my website.
Please find below the brief description for the site.
1. The users cannot be part of two teams.
2. Group size should be 3 members. If the group filled with 3 members no other users can able to join in the group.
3. If a user already joined in a group he can’t able to create a group. If he left that group he can create a group.
4. If a user created a group he will not able to join a different group or create another group.
PS: For the second point I’ve used ‘BP Limit Members Per group’ it works fine. But still users can join multiple groups and I’ve also used youzer plugin.
Please help me to resolve this.
Hi,
I am using memberpress plugin for members login/profile with buddypress. And I am using New User approved plugin to approve members. So there are a number of denied users/members, which I don’t want to see in tagging option, as I described above.
Hi there, here’s the steps I would take:
Deactivate all other plugins.
Switch to 2017 theme and test
Check for changes to functions.php, wp-config.php, bp-custom.php ( if you have one ) basically any place where custom scripts could be hiding.
Try recreating your emails in the Tools>>BuddyPress admin page.
If they still don’t work
Enable WP-DEBUG, install Query Monitor plus an error log viewer. initiate some emails and see if you get any errors at the same time.
Hello,
I have been working on new registered users moderation for a while and tried different user approval plugins out. Finally I decided to go back to the origin BuddyPress settings – and I have faced an unexpected technical issue. BP emails are never received. Although all was working at the beginning.
At the moment, any of BP emails are not received. Not by administrators on new user’s registration nor by users when someone sends a private message or adds as a friend.
I deactivated all the moderation plugins I was trying before, so only BP itself is activated.
What may have caused this issue and how can it be solved?
Thank you in advance!
I took a look at that plugin, it no longer works. So I’ve refreshed it here. https://github.com/Venutius/buddypress-component-stats however a lot of the functions never originally worked as far as I can see. I’ll try and get it fixed.
There’s another old plugin but this one still works – https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-member-profile-stats/ possibly not what you are looking for.
