@uncooluser you will also have subtabs under friends
1) Friendships
2) Requests
With Request subtab, you can always find all pending friend requests
For Avatar image, you can set default Avatar size https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/guides/customizing-buddypress-avatars/
Hello everyone, I am new to BuddyPress, but I got it set up really fast and had it going.
Friends requests are shotty, if the user gets a notification for the friends request, and they hit “read” it will just remove the request entirely and make it impossible send, request,accept, or deny friendship and it remains in limbo.
Not sure how to repair those or make them revert or whatever to resolve the error but that’s one problem I am having.
The other problem is I am not able to upload an image to my profile without the image being ultra tiny and impossible to crop. You always end up with something weird, especially when using selfies.
Cover photos, also some trouble of their own, I would like to allow the cropping of those to happen rather than just having it but I think that’s on the other dev, not you guys.
Side question, how to I allow my members to upload custom background pictures to their profiles for the background of their feed and allow them to change the colors of their “activity blocks” so it doesn’t leave them with limited options of backgrounds?
Cheers!
Mostly the friends request thing is what I need help with.
Well from buddydpress 3.0.0 there are not activation email are being imported even upon re-installing emails from wp-admin -> tools -> buddypress .
any fix or solution for this?
@vegebond BuddyPress is free and it does not have any pro version.
You can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/invite-anyone/ for your workflow
@cyberjulie you can download the previous version at https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.2.9.4.zip
@abracarambar patch is working fine, you only need to modify
Line 395 inside plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-activity.php
( ! groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group_id ) || ! groups_is_user_banned( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group_id ) )
with
( ! groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group_id ) || groups_is_user_banned( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group_id ) )
Hi. I need help with my registration page. I have the latest WP (version 4.9.6) and the new BP (Version 3.0.0). And Im using this theme > KLEO
Question 1
My profile groups that I made is not showing up on the registration page. I get this error 
Question 2
How do I edit the registration page, so that fields can be placed next to each other? Im comfortable editing the CSS.
Here’s how I want it to work.
1. David registers at my site.
2. David creates a private group.
3. David emails a group invitation to Stephen.
4. Stephen follows the link, where he is prompted to register at the site, assuming he has not already done so.
5. Stephen logs in, and submits the invitation to join David’s group.
6. Stephen receives a confirmation email, using the email address by which David mailed the invitation. This may or may not be the email address Stephen used when registering at the site.
I am using the free version of BuddyPress for the time being. Even when I upgrade to pro, I don’t believe it is going to give me all of this functionality.
No worries! I fixed the issue.
This is what I did. I located the activate.php file in the theme files and then edited the lines using this link > https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/11766/trunk/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/activate.php
thanks everyone!! You make close this topic 🙂
If you are using BP Legacy its at wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress...
@zaheedmanuelI will suggest waiting for Kleo update, and meanwhile, you can rollback to the previous version of BuddyPress.
Assigning Roles at registration disables the ability to “activate” users from the “pending” users dashboard
-Essentially because I am assigning new roles at signup, it seems users are no longer assigned to “pending Role” and are correctly being placed into the selected role from sign up page…
This is all good EXCEPT I lost the ability to resend Activation email as well as LOST ability to ACTIVATE manually from the dashboard.
if they have issues, I have no options to help, I can only delete the user and tell them to register again 🙁
any and all help is greatly appreciated. thanks!!
Theme: I am using REHub for MultiVednor site.
Plugins: WooCommerce, WC vendors PRO, BPWC Vendors, BP4WC
Specific relevant plugins for this issue: BuddyPress, BuddyForms Pro, BuddyForms Members Pro, BuddyPress Member Types Pro
It sounds like your theme needs to be updated.

Sounds like there is a javascript conflict on your site.
Please follow some debug info that I wrote to another user in another thread:

Hi Everyone.
Im busy developing a website. Its still a work in progress. I have the latest WP (version 4.9.6) and the new BP (Version 3.0.0). And Im using this theme > KLEO
When a new user register:
1. they receive the activation email
2. click and it redirects to the activate page sucessfully
3. But there is no activation key in the field. its blank
4. When I copy and paste the key from the URL, then the account is activated successfully.
My problem is the user cant see the activation key on the activate page. That field is blank.
I did the following already:
1. De-activated all plugins except BP
2. Re-installed the theme
3. When I use the default WP theme, then I can see the activation key
4. Contacted the theme support, they say its a BP issue.
PLEASE HELP!
If you are encountering problems with the group activity stream not showing the Comment button, then this is a reported bug with a fix here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/comment-button-and-reply-not-showing/#post-273325
I cannot duplicate the problem with the login widget.
OK, I setup a new page called Register and linked it to BP, I logged uut to look at it and it had all of your fields, you just need to add it to your BuddyPress menu, replacing the current page. That should do it.
This is a volunteer only operation, theres a jobs board to post invites.
Maybe you should check my site BuddyPressUser dot com, I wrote a lot of articles aimed at the begineer, that should be of help.
I’m not sure what setup you have got but if you set it up running the 2017 theme, only BuddyPress running, do you still not see those extra fields?
First thing I’d check is if you are running a separate mobile theme, which could be configured to use a different activity page. If that were the case then it’s likely that theres an overloaded activity theme file in the child-themes/buddypress directory. It’s also possible to write a plugin to do the same though – serve a different set of options to mobile pages.
Thanks for the reports everyone.
The following patch should fix this problem:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7854/7854.01.patch
All you need to do is to change one line in the bp-groups\bp-groups-activity.php file.
This will be apart of v3.1.0 when it is released after other bugs are fixed.
Hi everyone – it looks like I solved this. I needed to delete the lines in home.php in both in my theme buddypress template under members>single and groups that refers to the ‘forum’.
This is now showing up on the staging site notifications page:
