if the problem is only with the profile settings tab, then copy the profile.php and profile folder from the location:
“plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/”
to the following location:
“themes/your-current-theme/members/single/”
This will correct the problem
[Edit] I forgot to mention that my site has around 80 people online at once. (Can’t edit with the edit topic link for some reason)
In future if anyone gets this issue, It was an issue with AJAX, I had to add this to my functions
require(‘ajax.php’);
Change the bit inside the inverted commas to the _inc/ajax.php if that is where it is
Some information on the dedicated server I’m running on:
Operating system CentOS Linux 5.6
Kernel and CPU Linux 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5PAE on i686
Processor information AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 250 Processor, 2 cores
Real memory 7.93 GB total, 512.88 MB used on average
Here are some stats of what my site was before activating buddypress plugin.
My site is running 36 plugin and it’s running wp super cache and wp minify. On average.a cache is generated in 0.7 second and the average RAM used is 512.88 MB. But after activating buddypress, my cache is generated in around 11 seconds and the RAM used is 1.68GB.
Actually many of the BP-plugins are not “passed” with the latest version of BP 1.5.
I actually dont know why but its true that if you have such “failed” or “bad” plugins installed (even though not activated), they simply cause a blank page or page-not-found.
It happened to me the same blank page when i had BP-ajax-chat with the latest BP 1.5
The best solution is to MOVE out all the BP-plugins (except the BuddyPress) to some backup folder from the plugin folder and test with all the BP-plugins one after one.
Correction. Buddypress uses a slug of “forums” and bbPress defaults to an Archive Slug of “forums” causing a potential conflict between the two. Oddly, the conflict manifests itself in a mystery sidebar being created. An incredibly strange event, to say the least.
i want to remove the multi level drop down and just keep it to single level. also remove the wordpress search and put in the buddypress search.
for CSS – I want to change the weight and background of the admin bar.
Network-Admin > BuddyPress > Settings page (wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=bp-settings) cannot be saved.

After clicking on ‘save settings’ button, it seems to work. The admin-bar is showing to the logoff users.
However after moving out of the Network-Admin > BuddyPress > Settings page to any other page in the dashboard or when logged out, the settings revert back to the previous state and there is no admin-bar showing to the logoff users.
I downloaded the buddypress (1.5) again and uploaded all the files to my site. The same problem still exists.
Is this a bug?
I disagree. You noticed it, right? bbPress even displays a warning that it may conflict with BuddyPress.
That aside, it’s the first version of BuddyPress that works with bbPress 2.0, which itself is a brand new plugin. Integration will only get smoother in the future.
This is not BuddyPress’ problem. Are you using S2 Member or registered-users-only-2 plugins? It’s one of those that you need to configure.
I fixed it.
You have a bug. Buddypress uses the word “forums” but so does bbPress. You get a conflict in the bbPress settings (something no-one would ever notice). I changed the name and saved and voila! No more sidebar.
Actually, have just fixed it using Platform theme – by downloading the BP template pack, following the instructions in there to move the 6 folders from bp-default into platform: https://buddypress.org/2011/09/boo-yah-buddypress-template-pack-1-2-is-bp-1-5-compatible/
They have now appeared as pages, so more to test, but they are no longer blank and alive with words and images – thank you Buddypress!
Hi, I’ve installed Buddypress with bbPress in a new WP installation, using PlatformPro as my theme. After considerable tweaking, I’ve been able to get it ALMOST looking as I want it. But, when I go to the forums page, I have a mystery sidebar showing up that doesn’t appear anywhere in my theme setup. It’s empty, however, no matter what I do, the div containing it remains in place. Even in Buddypress’ other pages, there is no instance of this happening.
I notice that Buddypress/bbPress seem to take absolute control over CSS and even with the options to let the site’s CSS control it, they insist on dominating the design. I can’t for example, change the font sizes or style things that should appear as labels (now showing as bullet points). Everything works great on the Buddypress Theme, BUT, the whole idea of having an option to let the site owner’s theme control CSS is just that.

HELP! I need to launch this by the 1st of October.
I cannot post updates on BuddyPress or favorite posts, My font colors are very bad right now but I can see something happens when I post an update but nothing shows up in the main activity section.
So if i were to post an update nothing would happen on the main activity section apart from the text being removed from the text box, but you can see a change at the top next to a profile picture but it does now show any text.
My website is http://www.utraz.com
Hi, I had blank pages after upgrading – at the time I had custom community theme. I uninstalled buddypress via ftp and dropped all the database tables. (I also uninstalled and reinstalled wordpress too at one point). I tried all of these as well https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/ , thanks to mercime, but unfortunately still got the same errors.
I tried bp default theme and was then able to see the dashboard but the front end pages were all blank. I have started using Elbee Elgee and was able to see dashboard and set up forums, groups ok on the front end (the only thing which doesn’t work so far – but I haven’t tested everything is create topic in forum).
I have just reinstalled wordpress and buddypress, a multisite web… everything works but entering at the main site screen http://www.sanrascouts.org I get the message “Only registered users can watch this site. Please register or login.”
and I want it to be visible.
I have checked everywhere, in wp-admin/network and in the main admin but nothing..
Can anyone help me with this please? I need it to be open

How I insert my own categories in Forums of my bp site…
@Lynn The issue with your sidebar on http://clandestinecakeclub.co.uk/ looks like widgets have just not been assigned to your left sidebar via your widget settings panel.
Image, title, and link of… what? Posts from your blog(s)? If so, that’s all standard WordPress theming and has nothing to do with BuddyPress making it any harder.
I think the first example at http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/13020/display-thumbnail-only-on-the-very-first-post-in-the-loop will get you started! 
This isn’t possible in the current version of BuddyPress, and I’ve not seen any plugins that do this. This sort of thing is something the core team is keeping in mind for future releases.
@bakelady The issue is with your custom theme (https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/bp-columns), not BuddyPress itself. @modemlooper, are you still supporintg bp-columns?
@DJPaul just noticed that it is correct – once the page refreshes the title is correct, “Remove Fav..”
It is a WPMU with BuddyPress which I set up a few months ago. It is still only a test site, so not live with lots users (who be a bit fed up by now).
I have the domain mapping plugin from wpmu installed, though none of my subdomains are being mapped at present. The problem is simply with pure subdomains on existing blogs created while previous version of BP was installed. And on new blogs created too.
Problem only exists while BuddYpress 1.5 is activated. I deactivate BP and all my subdomains are back.
Has anybody noticed the recent changes in facebook, it now has features similar to buddypress. it has buddypress Adminbar style. Facebook is now a copycat i think…lol
