What version of BuddyPress are you running?

If you are not on v2.9.0, upgrade or upgrade on a test site if you need to before upgrading on your production site.

This is the BuddyPress support forum.
Have you tried asking on the bbPress support forum ?

The video showcases a plugin called BP-AUS, which is a 3rd-party plugin not officially affiliated with BuddyPress.

I cannot duplicate this report.

Can you test and see if this is due to a plugin conflict? Try disabling all plugins except BuddyPress to see if the problem still occurs.

Also try switching your theme.

You probably watched a video for a premium plugin.

BuddyPress doesn’t offer this functionality by default.

See:

Buddypress avatars are blurry for post authors

If this doesn’t fix the problem, let us know.

It might be the case that a plugin is overriding BuddyPress’ avatar URL, you could try the following in your theme’s functions.php or wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:

// Replace BP's avatar override filter at a higher priority:
remove_filter( 'get_avatar_url', 'bp_core_get_avatar_data_url_filter', 10 );
add_filter( 'get_avatar_url', 'bp_core_get_avatar_data_url_filter', 99, 3 );

different problem, but was told to post here:

When I try to create a group, I get to an error page (unlike you, I see the button). I figured there might be a problem with the link (It links to /groups/create).
I though it might be a problem with my permalinks, so I tried to update them, but nothing happens. Also, creation of new emails, for example, work without problems.
I installed the plugin as usual through the wordpress plugin directory. I’m running buddyPress 2.9.0 and Worpress 4.8.1

Hi,

Can you reply to this thread?

Users cant create groups

This is to prevent forking the discussion for a similar problem.

Thanks!

Edit: The link above has been updated. Pasted the wrong link before.

This is more of a WordPress question than something specific to BuddyPress. Try asking here https://wordpress.org/support/

This isn’t possible using BuddyPress by default but there are plugins that will help you do this.

¡Hola! Esta tarde tuve este mismo problema acerca de los comentarios en BuddyPress. Me llevó algunas horas dar con la solución, pero en parte gracias a este foro pude hacerlo. Escribí un artículo recopilando todas las soluciones que encontré y fuí aplicando. Espero que les sirva, el artículo es este: Cómo evitar que se muestren todos los comentarios de WordPress en las páginas de BuddyPress. Gracias por este maravilloso foro.

In your experience how compatible is buddyboss?

I’ve used a good number of BuddyBoss plugins and themes with BuddyPress without problems. If you do find an issue be sure to report it to them, their support is very good.

I use BuddyPress with Varnish and everything works fine.
You can set “Cache-Control” to 0 maybe for forums ?

<?php header("Cache-Control: max-age=0"); ?>

You might also want to view the following thread to see if it might be related to your problem:

Nobody responded because a fresh BuddyPress install does not exhibit this problem and you didn’t provide enough details.

You can try disabling all your plugins except BuddyPress or changing your theme to see if the problem is with a plugin or theme.

This is not a BuddyPress problem.

Try stripping down your install to just BuddyPress or disable any membership or authentication plugins you might have and try again.

If you do not want BP avatars, just remove BP’s avatar filter:

remove_filter( 'get_avatar_url', 'bp_core_get_avatar_data_url_filter', 10, 3 );

This is assuming you are using BuddyPress 2.9.

Thanks for the report.

If you are able to, can you see if the following will fix your problem?
