Thank you for your comment, @boonebgorges

Yes, I use several bp-related plugins, but all of them were already used with BP 1.2.6.
Since the proplem began surfacing right after BP was upgraded to 1.2.7, I thought it would be a bug in 1.2.7.

I will once again test 1.2.7 with bp-related plugins deactivated.

Because I know the field name or id for datebox, and I use onlye one datebox for birthday, I changed as following just for myself:

At around line 40 of profile-loop.php located in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/profile

[ Original ]
<?php bp_the_profile_field_value() ?>

[ Changed ]
<?php
if (bp_get_the_profile_field_name() == ‘FIELD NAME’) {
echo date(‘DATE FORMAT’,xprofile_get_field_data(“FIELD NAME or FIELD ID”));
}
else {
bp_the_profile_field_value();
}
?>
Note that DATE FORMAT, FIELD NAME and FIELD ID are to be replaced with the true value.

Once again, this is just only temporary fix, and I still wait until someone comments to this post. Currently, I am wandering if I post to http://trac.buddypress.org.

Though I tried both “https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2947&#8221; and “https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2240&#8221;, the problem prolongs.

The reason why 1970 January 1st is always displayed is that bp_the_profile_field_value and/or related functions always return “0” ignorring the true value.

I need to use date(‘Y/m/d’) instead of bp_the_profile_field_value for “datebox” for the time being…

Anybody has any idea?

@Paul Gibbs Crazy as I, I see! I do not see an opportunity to “re-run the forum setup in wp-admin” nor a place to “pick existing install.” If I activate bbPress Forums my site crashes and I get this error “Fatal error: Class ‘BB_Query’ not found in /home/lockednd/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums.php on line 354”

NEVERMIND! hahaha I followed your guidance, held my breath while I let the site be crashed for a bit, clicked “Forum Setup” and selected “existing install.” and everything came back to normal.

For now. Thank you!

@Djsteve Did we jump off the happy truck today? My site is using WP+WPMultiSite+BuddyPress and a dozen or so plugins and, personally, everything seems to be running rather smoothly. Yes, there are a few disconnected pieces here and there – but I have PAID for scripts and plugins that ended up having as many problems if not more.
And yes, user management and no connection to Akismet or an ability to put CAPTCHA into the signup form seems like an obvious gaffe but …
I wish users would remember to check spam/junk folders but that’s a people issue outside of our control.
I am fairly certain that Akismet will be connected in v1.3.
@mateko No. At this time it is NOT possible to resend activation emails to BP members and nor can admins manually activate members from the console.
I have not tried it yet, but you may try deleting a member from admin and telling them to re-register and watch the junk folder.
Hopefully these issues will be addressed in v1.3

@techguy Thank you for your reply. Yes I indeed did bbpress enable. Unfortunately the back end seems to work but in terms of user navigation and experience it is still not ultimate yet.

I changed the version from 1.2.6 to 1.3, as it is still awaiting review.
