Hi. I have Buddypress installed on my dating site located at mmss-dating.com.
When I click on the search link in the menu, all my members are displayed in 3 columns.
In each member’s box that is displayed, I have also the Age, Gender, Marital status, city, and hopefully, the country displayed.
Unfortunately, that is all displayed on one line, and as a result, the information is lost to the right of the display box.
Is there a way that instead have the above data all displayed on one line, to have the data displayed on several lines.
Which php file is responsible for the display of the individual boxes so maybe I can edit the layout in there?
Hi @maciejatmyshca
There was a ticket where I did some tests, imaged were showing when not logged in for me:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9066
if it’s lazy loading I believe it’s mainly a WordPress thing as we do it in activity and for avatars only if I remember well.
Good afternoon 👋 When I want to send a message to a member on my Buddypress page and click on message, I always get 404. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance and greetings Toni
I’m also having a similar issue with the ‘members/profile/ pages. Yuzify plugin is not responding well to the new 12.0 version. Each of my site’s member profile pages such as https://beehighve.com/members/queenv/ is not rending right…however, https://beehighve.com/members/ displays fine…any page or url deriving from there is not displaying right.
Any idea what I need to set or change in the URL options of BuddyPress? I’m sure its related to that.
Thanks
Hello @ceraus
BuddyPress is overriding WordPress registration URL by default so that it is displayed into your theme instead of the wp-login.php file. From previous support topics on the same subject I’ve read some users were deleting the registration page BuddyPress was created to force the use of the WordPress registration page. This was a workaround that is not doing the trick anymore in BuddyPress 12.0.0.
Please see: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-12-0-0/page/8/#post-332709 for a way to disable the BP Registration flow.
For readers information: a ticket to track the above was opened here https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9066
Using BuddyPress 12.0 on a regular config of WordPress is not blocking images, there’s probably a plugin/theme/custom code conflicting with BuddyPress on your specific config.
From within the Forum section in the Member Profile under the ‘Favorites’ tab, the link behind the “X” is:
https://[site-url]/members/admin/forums/favorites/?action=bbp_favorite_remove&object_id=2133&redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2F[site-url]%2Fmembers%2Fadmin%2Fforums%2Ffavorites%2F&_wpnonce=d3c1b95e22
If I’m looking at the topic in Forums (bbPress), the link behind the ‘favorite’ link is:
https://[site_url]/discussions/topic/[topic-title]/?bbp-ajax=true&action=bbp_favorite_add&object_id=2133&_wpnonce=d3c1b95e22
Where:
[site-url] = the website url
[topic-title] = the topic’s title.
FYI, I am running the BuddyPress Classic plugin if this makes any difference.
NOTE: I understand that Favoriting an Activity post about a forum topic is different than Favoriting a Forum Topic. I know that you said:
To link “mark favorite” actions on bbPress topics to BuddyPress activities, you may need custom development or specific plugins, as it’s not a default feature.
but this is functionality that currently exists and just doesn’t work. I’m trying to provide you with as much information as I can.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Reinstalling BuddyPress can be necessary for various reasons, such as troubleshooting issues, updating to the latest version, or starting fresh with a clean installation.

Hello!
The only things on are Buddypress and BuddyX theme; everything else is default. When disabled the correct /wp-login.php?action=register works fine, when enabled it does not. The registration page is set to “None” in buddypress. All custom code was removed (bp-custom.php) not sure what else I can try.
Hello,
Hmm, unsure how to diagnose this; but have an issue w/ buddypress not displaying the correct registration page. When disabled, it works (the default wordpress registration form), so it is either a plugin dependent on buddypress or buddypress itself. I tried setting the register page to none, and to the register page with a “Page to Link” plugin that sets it to the correct url ending in /wp-login.php?action=register but it still will not, any idea how I can fix this? It was fine before but not sure why it just stopped, I did migrate it from a local install and deployed it online
Any help would be very much appreciated
Hi @roberthemsing
Making the BuddyPress registration flows « deactivable » is something we’ll think of during next major version. In the meantime using this gist I was able to disable it.
@imath – is it possible to just disable the registration page/slug completely? We’re using Formidable Forms as a registration form for people to sign up to the website and the WordPress user accounts are linked to the BuddyPress profile anyways. Right now – with the slug being /register/ – we’ve created an actual page with the slug /register/ that hosts the Formidable Form which seems to overwrite the BuddyPress sign-up form. If I change the BuddyPress register slug settings to /sign-up/ it creates a new sign-up form which just messes up our profiles/website access. Otherwise I’d have to change the Formidable Forms registration slug to /sign-up/ as well and we’d have to create a redirect from /registration/ to /sign-up/ because the /registration/ slug is in use across the site and on other third party channels too.
I am very new in WordPress. Could anyone help me to solve the problem of the BuddyPress Email? I have already set up the SMTP, but the bp emaill is still using the old version.
@roberthemsing
Ouch, pretty annoying! Thanks for reporting it. I’ll check it asap. In the meantime, what happens if you go to Settings > BuddyPress > URLs and change the slug for the Register panel to sign-in for example?
Hello,
I have BuddyPress (v 12.0.0) and BuddyPress Docs (v 2.2.1) installed on WordPress v. 6.4.2.
After the last update, I’m seeing an issue where BuddyPress Docs is not displaying contents from sub folders on the list table. This only happens to some of parent folders.
Ex. I have a Main folder “A”, and multiple sub folders that use “A” as their parent. When the table row “A” is clicked to expand on the Docs table, a spinner shows then the sub folders list is empty. I did an browser inspection, and the row was showing “There are no docs for this view.” msg.
However, when I go directly to the sub folders page of the “A”, I see all sub folders of “A”.
Ex. https://abcd.com/groups/samplegroup/docs/?folder=12201
So it’s not like sub folders are deleted or anything. They can be searched using the search function as well.
I tried changing a parent of a sub folder “B” from “A” to a different parent folder “C”. “B” did not appear under “C” as well.
I think this is a bug that was introduced with the latest plug-in update.
Is there a manual fix that I can apply, or are you already working on a fix for this?
Thanks.
Hi @beoogo
Sorry to read about your issue. If you get a blank page that’s probably due to a fatal error. Your host should give you access to the error log of your site to find the issue. My guess is one of your plugin is using a deprecated function. If you’re trying to activate version 12.0.0 of BuddyPress, you can try to first activate the BP Classic backwards compatibility add-on.
If it doesn’t solve the issue or if you’re using a previous version of BuddyPress, add this constant to your wp-config.php file:
define( 'BP_LOAD_DEPRECATED', true );
Hello everyone. My problem is with the reinstallation of the Buddypress plugin. Let me explain, a few days ago I downloaded buddypress from my wordpress admin panel, everything went well, it launched, I made my settings after installing the French translation of the plugin. Unfortunately, the problem is that it doesn’t integrate well with my blog’s design, since I’d checked “keep current theme” during configuration.
I did some research on the net and discovered the “buddypress template pack” plugin. I installed it and everything, but despite this plugin, buddypress didn’t integrate with my theme. I racked my brains all day and finally decided to uninstall these two plugins.
The next day, I’m still researching my problem, and miraculously I come across a download pack that lets me integrate buddypress with the theme I’m currently using. I test it locally, and it’s perfect. So I start reinstalling buddypress on my online site, but then it’s a disaster: as soon as I click on “activate” buddypress, I get a blank page, no error, nothing, and no access to my dashboard. So I uninstalled it via my ftp and everything worked again. I tried to install it via the dashboard, manually via my ftp but nothing happened. I’ve cleaned up my database, deleted the BP_ files but it’s still the same as soon as I try to reinstall this extension, no access to my site and I don’t understand why, despite all my research I can’t find it.
Sorry for this long-winded post, but does anyone have a solution to my problem?
Just for the record, the first installation worked fine and I haven’t made any changes to my files since.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help 🙂
I have been using the following code for the past several years to successfully change the profile URL for members to use the user_id number instead of their username/nicename. However, after updating the most recent version of BuddyPress and WordPress, the function is no longer working properly.
Does anyone know what needs to be changed?
Hi @Mathieu,
Any update on the previous issue?
Should the pagination issue be referred to bbPress, and can you repro the issue in the recent post display?
To debug here, disabled Litespeed, so working with only a few – Twenty Twenty Three, bbPress, BuddyPress, Cleantalk, and the bbp Style Pack.
Thanks.
I agree BuddyX is a great looking theme, it’s available on the Theme directory and actively maintained by great developers (who are contributing back to BuddyPress). We wrote a post on it on this website. Our BP Block Theme will also be available on the Theme directory and we’ll probably look at a way to feature nice BP Themes from end-users Dashboard a bit like we’re featuring BP Add-ons from it (Plugins > Add New > BP Add-ons tab).
Hi @windhillruss
I’ve just tested BuddyPress v12.0.0 with or without BP Classic and I wasn’t able to reproduce your issue. To me everything works fine, if you can clone your site on a local/staging environment, I advise you to disable all plugins but BuddyPress and BP Classic and use a bundled WordPress theme to see if the issue is still there (it shouldn’t), then activate one by one your plugins to see which is not behaving the right way.
Hello, you are using a fork of BuddyPress. Our code have diverged. Please contact this fork support. We cannot reply for them.
Hi @windhillruss
Thanks a lot for your feedback I’ll check this asap 👌
Hi @epgb101
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I agree we need to improve the front-end design. As I’ve explained here, we are very ambitious trying to integrate with any themes. In next major version (14.0.0, because 13 is a hard number), we’ll carry on on this road but we will also try something new: build a new BP Block Only Theme where we can control every part of the design (which is far from being the case with other themes). So I am confident we’ll reduce the gap you’re talking about and I’m very positive about the fact being able to use the WP Site Editor to organize the layout will attract (back) more people to use BuddyPress.
Hi @maciejatmyshca
Really sorry to read about your issue. I have no idea about why this is happening. Someone else shared about a similar issue in a previous reply to this topic. I have tested (again) with WordPress latest version + Twenty twenty four and only BuddyPress activated and I had no issues with images or styles.
I just created my first BuddyPress forum but I don’t want my username as Admin.
1. How do I change my forum Username?
2. If that’s possible, how do I select another user for Admin?
3. Can the forum Admin username be anonymous?
Thanks.
Where do I add my feedback on what Buddypress needs to be taken up by more websites?
Life’s too short – I’ll just write it here and be brutally honest as a semi-techie (most users?). I saw this; “I think the number one problem is the UI. Most people install BuddyPress on their or a default theme and the result is not pretty. This deters most people and makes them look for other solutions.” THIS is the problem. Its VERY VERY ugly out of the box and VERY hard to get looking anything like facebook or anything nice. Yet I know it’s great spftware / platform!!!! How frustrating is that?!! I tried many months to get it looking good – and EVENTUALLY found a great theme and it looks v good now – BOY was it hard and in the meantime I used Peepso – but all the while I WANTED TO USE Buddypress!! – as I much prefer the community around it and the fact it’s built by you wordpress folk. Pack it with one SINGLE graet theme – and it will rocket. My two cents.
