It could be a theme issue as well. What happens if you switch the theme to BuddyPress Default? Does the crop box work properly? If so, check the CSS in your custom theme to see if you’re modifying the crop box.
Check your WP theme for a folder called “registration” and a file called “register.php” inside this folder.
If you don’t have this folder and file, copy it over from /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/. See if that fixes your problems.
If you have the register.php template, open it up and customize the layout; you’ll need a tiny bit of experience with HTML and CSS to do this.
The only way to import generated profile fields at the moment is to do a straight database export of the xprofile field tables and then import them into your new site. (These database tables are “wp_bp_xprofile_fields” and “wp_bp_xprofile_groups” by default.)
The codex is basically a WordPress blog. I believe everyone who has an account with buddypress.org should be able to login at codex.wordpress.org/wp-admin/ and post something. Though, your post might be held as a draft until someone with higher permissions can look at it.
If you have ideas for codex articles, please feel free to post them. If you encounter problems, let us know.
There isn’t a single document to reference for documentation. I don’t believe WordPress has a document like that available on their codex. (I could be wrong though!)
> You need to convert that .pot into a .mo file.
I think that you also need to change the file name so that it includes a text domain, and then specify that textdomain in your config file. Eg, buddypress-BBG.mo, and `define( ‘WPLANG’, ‘BBG’ );` (I think.)
I did this thinking that it would work like a child theme, but nothing seems to change… so I am assuming this is just for “storage”… ?
wp-content/languages/buddypress.pot
I’ve made a couple of changes in the language file but don’t see them on the site. No caching used.
I am tying Buddypress into a Digital Access Pass (DAP) installation for a membership site. I need to hide the Buddypress login so only DAP logins are allowed. DAP will then sync the BP login.
How do I hide the login form?
Thanks in advance for the help.
I tested out what’s causing my problem. I created a brand new WordPress site with version 3.2.1, installed a brand new BuddyPress v 1.5.1 into it. Went to my site, clicked on the members page, changed my avatar, the cropping tool worked fine. Then I went to my wordpress Users page, clicked “My profile” changed my nickname into “Name Surname” went to try changing my avatar again, cropping tool had vanished. I urge you to try this yourself and see that this is a bug. Buddypress functions CRASH when you’re editing the information from admin panel instead of buddypress own profile changing page. This needs a fix.
For now, I have no idea how to get the cropping tool back again, I tried changing my name back and forth from the buddypress profile page or admin panel, but the tool just won’t come back. I have to literally delete the whole database, create the new site from scratch again to get the cropping tool back when just deleting buddypress doesn’t fix the problem, what gives? Even changing the theme back to “Twenty Eleven” then trying to use the header cropping tool, even that one disappeared. I tried looking up reasonable explanations for this problem, but everyone seems to have their own mix of this problem which is related to jquery. I made this post specifically for the developers so they can take a look at this problem, it’s easy to reproduce.
Any thoughts and tips regarding this issue are warmly welcome.
I, too, am looking for documentation. I found the BuddyPress codex [1]. However, I find it somewhat lacking. Is it a wiki like the WordPress Codex[2]? If so, I may add what I learn to help others.
Ideally, I am looking for a single-document version of the documentation. I would like to print it and have it as a reference as I work. Has that been done before? What would it take to write a script to combine the existing docs at [1] into a single document (HTML, PDF, etc.)?
@mercime, I am specifically looking for information about user profile fields: I’d like to import an existing set of user fields. I haven’t searched the plugins yet; I’m still trying to get oriented to the BuddyPress support system. As for “submitting articles,” where do the articles live? How do I submit one?
Thanks!

Hi @nicolez, have you found a solution yet?
i would really like to know more about this…….i m very new to wordpress and buddypress…..this is my site http://theainet.net…i have added more fields on registration page but i could nt found it on dashboard.,,,
a member of one of my sites joined over a year ago. since then, i’ve changed this users name to just the person’s initials. buddypress somehow found the person’s full real name and that’s the member slug and the person’s full name is displaying in their profile.
can you tell me how to make modifications to the member profiles including changing their slug (url)?
sincerely,
dainis w michel
Pagination on Members Directory is working for me.
The problem that I see is that your left sidebar dropped down to below content and comments div in your BP pages. Make sure you follow the instructions in Step 3 of the BP Template Pack compatibility process.
nanchante2 – no need to post twice.
We know there are have been, and continue to be, issues with bp.org. Work is being done on a redesign.
Howdy,
Just wanted to find out if there are any plugins that do any of the following (as searches just aren’t doing anything for me at the moment):
Widget to display newest members
Widget to rate members, that also shows top rated members
Widget that shows most popular groups and most recent comments for that group
Plugin that disallows group creation in Root but rather in specific categories (without having to actually make a group for that category; without use of Heirarchy plugin)
Plugin that only shows categories on Groups page and doesn’t show groups unless they have clicked a specific category
I’ve found a few plugins but most haven’t been updated in over a year and has a “Warning: This plugin has not been tested with the latest version of BuddyPress” message.
Any help would be appreciated. 
but the download link http://mydev.dz-tchat.com/buddypress-notifications-manager-bpnm.html is not available now !! Is there a new link ?
Thanks in advance!
You might what to look at something like this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bowe-codes/ to help you easily post that information in multiple areas.
@namzar – screenshot of the problem or better yet, URL to specific page would be welcome.
Same problem here. I temporarily solved by using remove_all_filters('upload_dir'); in my theme. I hope for a better solution in the next buddypress core update.
hi @mercime,
i am using the same theme as misterbdon (instyle theme) and followed your instructions. almost there, but buddypress is extending past the theme’s sidebar on the right side of the page still. why? can u explain more “The Sample Page made it all clear. I have revised all codes added to the bottom of header-buddypress.php and at the top and bottom of sidebar-buddypress.php in this post. ” u posted? really appreciate you help!
ditto… there are heaps of issues on this site still…. I thought it was just me.
