The first thing to do would be to deactivate all other plugins apart from BuddyPress and see if the fault remains. If it does then you need to check if you have overloaded the file by looking in wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/single/messages/compose.php, if this file exists then check permissions and file content, if it does not exist then check permissions of wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy or bp-nouveau/buddypress/members/single/messages/compose.php
Hello, we’re having issues with BuddyPress private messaging on our site https://www.lightstalking.com/
We’re using Version 4.1.0 of BuddyPress running on WP 4.9.8
This issues happens only with an admin account – it’s impossible to send new private messages from an admin account to other users of forum.
When we try to do that, we get an error message (I attached a screenshot of it) – https://www.screencast.com/t/XoU5ZLRaAtf
Let us know if there’s anything to do about this.
Best regards,
LightStalking team
PeepSo made a copy of BuddyPress and turned it commercial, as you pretty much describe.
Hello everyone,
I am facing issue on my website a lot of emails generate from buddy-press and email to users. I got the alert message from hosting to control these bulk emails that sent to users. I tried to use the wp mail logging plugin what that’s not record all the buddypresss generate email record.
I hope somebody help me to resolve this issue or guide me how to log all the email that generate by buddy-press so i can control the once that.
Thanks
i dont know why fields cant be duplicated in buddypress
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/home.php
This can take care of the top part at least, but not the page title. I’m still working on figuring that one out.
PS. I’m old school. I don’t use child themes.
On your profile, go to ‘Profile’.
You should see these tabs:
- View
- Edit
- Change Profile Photo
- Change Cover Image
The avatar is on the Change Profile Photo screen.
If you don’t see it, to narrow things down, try momentarily changing to a WP theme like 2016.
Also try changing the Template Pack in BuddyPress > Options
Solution found! It wasn’t a BuddyPress issue, it’s a wordpress issue!
I contacted WordPress and found a solution. I thought I’d post it in case it comes up with someone else again:
That should mean that single sign on is causing trouble. To test that, navigate to My Site –> Settings –> Security in your WordPress.com dashboard, and disable the ‘Allow sign in using WordPress.com accounts’ option
This means that you will no longer be able to access your wp-admin area with your WordPress.com login information though. We’ll need to make sure we set you up with an account for your wp-admin area.
We’ll need to set you up with a password for your username for wp-admin.
You’ll need to go to WP-Admin > Users and then select your username from the list.
The problem is that on WordPress.com the option to allow WordPress.com sign in replaces the regular registration form that BuddyPress uses to allow users to sign in. So we need to disable this option to let the user’s sign in using only their Buddy Press log in without a WordPress.com account.
Hope this helps someone else
You’ve got a plugin installed that’s doing that, on it’s own BuddyPress allows non logged in users to see the members directory.

That was an example. If you allow header images, look in cover-image-header.php.
If you use the Nouveau template pack, then look in bp-templates\bp-nouveau\buddypress\members\single\, etc.
In BP, for example, look at this bp_displayed_user_avatar() in this file
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php
buddypress verion is- Version 4.1.0 ,, wordpress WordPress 4.9.8
Hi Bradley,
My first thought is – what is ub_signup_password that does not look like it’s coming from WordPress or BuddyPress but it’s the root of the issue according to this trace.
@danbp bro, well you are hearing me right now ….i just updated buddypress few minutes ago it was working fine before update but now when i try to create anymore option select field it says: “The link you followed has expired.”
The fix is in this latest update.
BuddyPress 4.1.0 is now available:
BuddyPress 4.1.0 maintenance release
You can use any theme with BuddyPress.
There are some themes that place an emphasis on BuddyPress, for example BuddyBoss.
You can choose one of two template packs in wp-admin > Settings > BuddyPress > Options > Template Pack.
And you can customize the BP templates – if you know how to write code.
More info here.
Hi – having spoken with Nextend they believe the issue is with BuddyPress directly.
You’re referring to the About page on this site?
No, go to the websites or support sites for the plugins that you mentioned.
For example: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-xprofile-custom-field-types
btw – probably a good idea to update BuddyPress. V. 3.0 is old.
It’s here, see the bottom of the page:
BuddyPress
BuddyPress does not require a user to be logged in order to view a profile.
You have some code on your site ( in a plugin, your theme or some custom code ), that is doing the redirect. You’ll need to find and remove or adjust that code.
It looks like your request is for forums, BuddyPress uses bbPress forums so you should place your request there – https://bbpress.org/forums/
If that is all you need, then BuddyPress is probably overkill.
Look at the various ‘wiki’ plugins for WP.
afaik, bp_activity_add() is the call always used in BuddyPress – there may be exceptions that you’ll have to track down.
But other plugins, like bbPress, may use their own methods, or use bp_activity_add().
afaik, you’re looking in the wrong place – easy to do.
Look in the bbPress plugin:
...wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\extend\buddypress\activity.php
And they have their own forums.
