BuddyPress.org

That theme @fertilityblogs linked does have that which is why I’m asking if they are using an older version of the theme. In the last theme updates global.js has changes so not having latest would cause issues.

Are you using BuddyPress 1.5 if so have you checked to see if your theme is updated for that?

Absolutely amazing, the best Buddypress work i’ve ever seen!!!!
Contratulations @poolie !!!!

Try reuploading your buddypress plugin – I did and now it’s all fixed

Resolved this by reuploading the buddypress plugin, think something went wrong during upgrade!

I had exactly the same problem. The Javascript to create the submit button when you click into the what’s new field was missing from the generated HTML. I needed to add code to my functions.php file to enqueue _inc/global.js. Additionally, since I was developing the theme as a subtheme of a non-buddypress theme I needed to change get_template_directory_uri() to get_stylesheet_directory_uri() and copy the global.js file.

Ok so it’s probably a plugin that isn’t updated and as a result being an issue – that’s my best guess here.

I am disappointed that BuddyPress does not simply use and extend the WP profile fields. It complicates things.
And synching profiles with mailchimp plug-ins is now more complex – ok it doesn’t work – for me anyway.
BuddyPress is a WP plug-in, not a standalone system so it should plug in to WP, including profiles. Bp says it offers extended profiles, not different profiles.
Incidentally my users want Last name, First name, just to complicate things further.

That just prompted me to search my inbox for the problem so this is what I wrote a few months ago when I was having that problem :
====
If you’re using pretty permalinks then you have to start it with a numeric identifier like %post_id% or %hour% anything with a number in.

%postname% on its own is fine for small sites but wordpress has a bug which sends it into database mental town for big sites.

Just putting %post_id% in and updating all the links has reduced me from 1300queries to 37.

Maybe even WP3 has solved the problem, to be honest, I’m one of the people who forgets about things the minute they get sorted.

@echiomega My site has literally thousands of pages and the first time mine was eating memory it was due to a wordpress bug with the permalinks (various strange sql queries going into infinite loops) – try changing the format of your permalinks.

I’m not sure it’ll make a difference but worth a go?

If you can try 5 and find out 4 we may have some more information to judge with.

Have you updated to the latest theme version along with updating to BuddyPress 1.5?

Hmm first up a little more information about your set up would be good.

Are you running single or multisite WordPress?
Are you on the latest WordPress?
Have you checked the minimal server requirements for WordPress and that your server meets these?
Do you have a memory limit in your php.ini file (you may have to ask your host about this)?
Have you tried deactivating all other plugins then just trying BuddyPress with the default theme?

No need to link to your admin panel – make sure you don’t put private information also (just incase) on this forum as it’s a public forum.

O.K. I found the readme file, I’m embarrassed, and noticed you can theme and redirect. I’m not sure I want to redirect though because it defeats the BuddyPress feel. PostHaste seems to work with it if you don’t want to use the P2 theme. I guess I have to find a way to remove the two links that are showing up and include another link somewhere to the Blog Homepage for adding posts.

Thanks for your plugin

You need to update your theme. The upload during registration option was removed in BuddyPress 1.5’s default theme.

@dwenaus is building a comprehensive ratings plugin for everything BP related. So far has released the forum ratings part (called “BP rate forum posts”, find it here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-rate-forum-posts/). And is looking for a patron.
