Ok, I’m the first to admit that I did not do my research before upgrading to the new version of bbpress. I’m fairly knowledgeable and I’m stuck. After upgrading, my front page does not show my activity stream or recent blog posts, no matter which selection I use. Under, “Settings -> Reading”, I’ve tried “Front page displays”, “Your latest Posts” as well as “A static Page, Activity”. Where it says, “Associate a WordPress Page with each BuddyPress component directory”, I’ve set Activity Streams to Activity, still nothing. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Tim
I have upgraded to the new version of Buddypress. During the registration process a new avatar can be uploaded – however, when I go to upload a new image the system automatically takes me back to the signup page with username and password. Can you help?
I think i found it in “/buddypress/bp-activity/feeds/bp-activity-sitewide-feed.php”
but when i edit it, it doesn’t do anything
I am aware of where the functions that actually do the saving are. That isn’t the issue. The issue is figuring HOW they do the saving…?
Hi,
I installed Groupblog on WordPress 3.2.1 & BuddyPress 1.5 using the BuddyPress default theme. It seems to be working except that I don’t see an easy way to post to it. I activated it network-wide then enabled the blog through the group admin. It created a Blog tab in the group page which displays posts. If I use the Dashboard -> New Post link in the BuddyPress admin bar, it takes me to the site blog rather than the group blog. There are two links on the Groupblog page; one is to the Sample page that WordPress comes with and the other to Events which is a page for the EventsManager plugin.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Thanks for your reply, and here are the links below.

All the wordpress pages look like the members page.
Hello, I was gonna try to play with the new BuddyPress on a per site install of multisite but the plugin is not showing in the plugins list of individual sites,it only shows up on the network admins plugins page.
Is this a know issue?
Thanx
@kshirtcliffe yes i’ve tried buddypress when it was at version 1.2 before and thought it was cause of a bug that it’s slow but even in 1.5 the plugin is still lagging up the whole site.
Tomorrow I’ll post a plugin or code to allow admins to add user links to the BuddyPress nav menu.
I am wondering about this same topic. I saw this related post: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/forgot-password-link/ , but the answer is to go to the take you to the “lost password” section of wp-login.php. If my users are only logging into BP, they won’t have WP logins, correct? Can someone help?
there is a link called NOTIFICATIONS in buddypress admin bar… after loging in, when i click that- broser will take me to following link ” http://community.sofisdelicia.com/members/admin/ ” … now when i make a custom menu, i cant see any page called ” notification” or ” friends “ or anything else like that… what should i do now??? if i have to make a new CUSTOM LINK for this, what all changes should i make in this ” http://community.sofisdelicia.com/members/admin/ ” ???? instead of ADMIN in the link, what should i give???? so that it will change automatically for different users…
First, if you want to customize the BuddyPress Default theme, please build a child theme so your customizations won’t be wiped out when you upgrade BuddyPress:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
Secondly, once you’ve created your child theme, copy over /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/home.php to your theme’s folder.
Make sure you preserve the folder structure:
/wp-content/themes/MYCHILDTHEME/members/single/home.php
Then, you can add a regular posts loop from WordPress in your /members/single/home.php:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts
After upgrade to 1.5 i have this error log:
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘activity’ in ‘where clause’]
SELECT wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.ID = activity AND wp_posts.post_type = ‘page’ ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC
I have only plugin buddypress active with default theme.
I suppose wp_posts.ID = activity don’t have ‘avtivity” and i suppose problem is on buddypress code.
But i not found the section to modify.
It is a possible bug or error?
Please help the site is out. tnx
BuddyPress is a volunteer project; other than the lead developer who has a portion of his time dedicated to developing and managing BuddyPress, no one else is paid to code it. The project heavily relies on the contributions of others.
That being said, it is not too hard to code a blog avatars plugin for BuddyPress, someone just needs to find the time out of their schedule to code it. Be it for a client or for free.
Just the delete the paragraph line:
`
<?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by WordPress and BuddyPress.’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘http://wordpress.org’, ‘http://buddypress.org' ) ?>
`
`
`
I notice that when you take out the above code. The sidebar disappears. I want to delete the Proudly Powered by…. reference… please help.

I’m good with wordpress but haven’t used buddypress yet,
buddypress seems like the perfect thing for my new project but it all depends
on one thing:
Can i change the category ‘Groups’ to something else like ‘Teams’??
Thanks
Daniel
Thank you so so much @modemlooper… but I still get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring() (previously declared in /home/resource/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php:17) in /home/resource/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php on line 81
Would it help to look at it?

Bump. @kateM82 code worked fine for me until I updated BuddyPress 1.5. Now when I click the favorite button it only says “the page was not found.” Any help for fixing this?
They both should be created with plugins. A BuddyPress component is a sitewide content type that would have a directory structure, like members or groups.
The skeleton plugin is being updated, current version on github.

Delete _inc folder from child theme and make sure BuddyPress template pack plugin is not installed
Hi – I have the _inc folder in the bp-default folder and in my child-theme folder containing ajax.php, global.js, and the css and images folders. I get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring() (previously declared in /home/resource/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php:17) in /home/resource/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php on line 81
Unless I delete the contents of the ajax.php in the default theme. Then my site will load but the AJAX doesn’t work (no add friends, favorite, posting from sidebar etc etc). I have disabled all of my plugins and my WP and BP are the latest versions. My site is on a subdomain.
Any help appreciated – I’ve run out of places to look, things to try.
Safari browser can use the gps API on an iPhone, I’m not sure about Android. You could create code that attaches user meta to a logged in user and save the gps coordinates then filter members list by distance.
There are a couple location plugins but those are address based in which you enter address into profile fields. They do not update your current info.
So yes it’s doable but no plugin currently exists.
