@r-a-y, I followed the instructions in [https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-developer-and-designer-information/#theme] and solved the problem. Tks.
The following are the procedures:
—
Member settings pages are blank
BuddyPress 1.5 comes with brand-new templates so you can style your member settings pages. However, if you’re using an older child theme, you will need to copy over these templates to your WP theme. To fix this problem, copy over the folder [/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/settings/] directly to your WP theme’s folder.
If I add BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG in my wp-config.php, then disable and re-enable buddypress will it create component pages for the rest of my sites, or will I have to create these manually?
No, I don’t have that statement currently, could you tell me more or possibly point me in the right direction?
Hey folks, I’m lost here. I have Fishbook installed with BuddyPress, and the only time I can see the admin bar (whatever menu name you want to give it, the one with My Account, Dashboard & Notifications) only shows up when I scroll down.

Currently, 0 plugins installed, I reinstalled WordPress, then BuddyPress then Fishbook, and the issue remains. I did the trick of moving the header.php file from the BP Default folder into the Fishbook folder (by the way the above file names are no longer correct since BP 1.5) but with or without the header file, the issue remains. I remember testing out BP several months ago, and I didn’t have this menu problem with Fishbook then. I vaguely remember having to install a plugin to customize the menu buttons, specifically for Fishbook, but I can no longer find that plugin.
Let me know your thoughts, thanks a lot.
Facecopy sounds more like it.
I’m on WP Multisite 3.2.1 with BuddyPress 1.5 (upgraded from 1.2.10)
All of my pages and directories worked in 1.2.10.
I’ve just been checking the links in my adminbar, and also in the navbar on the Activity page, and it seems that my “Settings” page/directory is missing.
Any ideas on how to fix?
I must upgrade wordpress and after buddypress…?
@Flora1234 Couldn’t you re-install your wordpress through http://yousite.com/wp-admin/update-core.php ??
If that’s what you want then you can just click on the re-install link. Also you won’t loss your plugin, but i do suggest you backup your database just in case.
Thanks @davidtcarson I was literally typing up my own response when you posted yours. –
Really quick question. In the v1.5 release notes I saw the statement ‘no more buddybar’ and I just watched John Jacoby’s presentation from Wordcamp, so I assumed that meant the admin bar would now look the same as the wp admin bar. I’ve installed a dev environment with bp1.5, bb2.0 and wp3.2.1 using the bpdefault theme and my buddypress admin bar looks the same as before.
My live site uses a custom function that I built, but I assumed I wouldn’t need to use this anymore. Both buddypress.org and testbp.org use the admin bar that I was expecting – could someone please confirm what I should be expecting?
I’ve noticed this on my WP Multisite when I post something to both the main blog along with posting in one of the subdomain blogs. I assumed that Buddypress was posting twice into the activity stream because it was in actuality seeing the post twice.
I am trying to figure out how to setup Buddypress to automatically email users that have been inactive for a certain amount of time (let’s say 1 week for example) and remind them to come back to the site. I haven’t been able to find any plugins that do this, and I don’t even know where to begin with it. Since the all the data is saved (Email address & last activity time), it should be possible. Anybody know how to do this? Thanks!
hello, the “my topics” link http://buddypress.org/support/topics/mine/ is still giving a 404 error. how do I find my old support posts
I would so much rather get dirty with code and create something wonderful than use something out of the box! I’m surprised more people don’t want to do this!
Yes, thank for the direction to that plugin. Usually I don’t like to use plugins when I can code, but I may just go for that one!
I did try and copy and paste the widget code into the buddybar
Of course I got a fatal error, but it’s good to be reassured that I was moving in the right direction! So thanks for that – it just means I have to focus a little more and do some code editing!
I was hoping that someone had done it before and could just pass along the edited code … wishful thinking!
In BP 1.5, you need these pages.
However, you can easily exclude pages from the main nav with a plugin like:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/

To customize the BuddyBar, unfortunately you’ll need to get your hands dirty with code:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/
The code for widgets can be found in:
/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php
You’ll need to extrapolate some of that code when building your custom entries in the BuddyBar.
Hope this is a good enough starting point!
It may be caused by one of the plugins you have installed. remove all the cache. if still does not work then move all the plugins except the buddypress to a backup folder and try bringing back one plugin after another.
I may have stumbled upon the problem. It appears only to be happening on the non-root-blog. Follow https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3622#comment:3 for details.
Following up on @frenx4u, is your theme a child theme of bp-default, or did you adapt it for BP use with the BuddyPress Template Pack? If the latter, you will probably have to do what frenx4u suggests.
Running WP Multisite 3.2.1 and upgrade to BuddyPress 1.5 (from 1.2.10). Using Upstart Blogger Futurosity Magazine Theme.
When I upgraded BuddyPress, it created about 7 pages that weren’t created with my first install of BuddyPress. This totally wrecked my header. So I stuck them under a fake hidden page for the moment. Yes, most of my BuddyPress features are not accessible this way, which is fine for the moment. But what I’d really like to do is to delete them, although I’m still trying to figure out what would happen if I did …
In any case, I would like all of the BuddyPress navigation to be included ONLY in the admin/buddybar for users who are logged in, including the widgets (Who’s Online, New Members, and Active Members), leaving the rest of the site’s user interface as designed.
Is anyone else doing this? It seems like it would be a really nice way to keep the buddypress functions from interfering with the site design.
I’ve been working on trying to configure this for two months now and am a little braindead with it mostly because I am not a programmer, just a hack – I just need to know what can be deleted and what snippets to put into bp-core-buddybar.php to make buddypress available to the site’s readers only from that bar.

@modemlooper and @djpaul for a non coder how would i place the code? Because this is like science to me.. I’m only good at copy and paste, lol. which line would i place it under etc, thanks.
Just sent updates to repo but who knows if it gets accepted or when. 
Facebook copies everyone. They copied the status update from Twitter and their timeline and new lists are a copy of Google+. The original Facebook was a stolen idea so it’s no surprise they are continuing to do so.
Ok, since I discovered Buddypress I’ve NEVER been able to get the built in forum software to work, always getting the infamous “there was an error topic could not be posted” blah blah blah
Looked into it, found way too many problems trying to fix it from other users experiences, so opted for a BBPress installation instead….
Though I get on alright with BBPress I must admit, the layout of the built in forums is alot neater and therefore I’d like to use them…. but can’t!
Is this an easy fix? is there a definite answer?
To my dismay even an upgrade to Buddypress 1.5 didn’t fix the problem….
Any advice?
In another post of yours, you said that you have such a problem with the profile tab also.
It seems that your theme is lacking some required buddypress components or some are not working.
Solution:
copy all the required components from the “plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/” to your current theme.
