I use a custom template to present BuddyPRess elements on the front page. I have a widget space where the Users I Follow widget loads and I display the most recent feed items.
Previously, the correct CSS for these was loaded and everything was fine. Now that CSS does not enqueue as needed.
Is there a new or changed init function I need to call?
Hi @varadkk
The new way to customize URLs or directory titles is happening in Settings > BuddyPress then click on the URLs tab. More info about it here: https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/blob/master/docs/user/administration/settings/urls.md
If for some reason (compatibility with a 3rd party BP plugin) you need to get this page back, you can use the BP Classic add-on.
@weathermadness with so few information I guess something is wrong with a potential third party BP plugin, have you activated the BP Classic plugin ?
Hi there! in the latest 12.0 update, I can’t see a way to set pages to buddypress core functionalities like – members, activity streams, register and activate. Is there a new way of doing these things? Thanks
Morning, sorry I couldn’t find the start a new topic button in the main forum.
I have a problem where If I send out invitations for people to join my buddypress site – the invitation email goes straight to people’s spam folders
Is there a way to fix that?
Two ways to use your BP profile pic as your WordPress avatar:
1. Plugins:
Install and activate a plugin like “BuddyPress Default Avatar” or “BuddyPress Avatar Sync.”
These plugins automatically sync your BP profile photo with your WordPress avatar, making it a simple and hands-off solution.
2. Custom code:
If you prefer a more technical approach, you can add code to your theme’s functions.php file.
This code snippet will enable syncing of the two avatars:
PHP
function bp_avatar_sync($user_id) {
// Get BP profile picture URL
$bp_avatar_url = bp_core_fetch_avatar(array(‘item_id’ => $user_id, ‘type’ => ‘full’));
// Update WordPress avatar URL
update_user_meta($user_id, ‘user_avatar’, $bp_avatar_url);
}
add_action(‘bp_core_avatar_uploaded’, ‘bp_avatar_sync’);
Remember, both methods achieve the same result. Choose the method that best suits your technical skills and preferences.
this issue could stem from a configuration problem with BuddyPress, a plugin conflict (even though it works on your staging version), or a persistent caching issue.
The Codex mentions here that there is a page in Settings > Email but I don’t see it.
So I have 2 questions : by default, does sending a notice as an admin to all users triggers a mail to be sent?
And if so where do I configure/disable it? With 40000 users I’d like to be able to notify users but not send a load of email spam.
Dear Buddypress,
I have been using your plugin for a while now but still couldn’t figure out how how to remove this text from the registration field: By Creating An Account You Agree To Our Terms And Conditions And Our Privacy Policy. Because I cannot set the links for it they are pointless and confusing. Can you help me with that?
Is there a way to setup capabilities conditions to certain roles?
Inspecting BuddyPress I found some references to capabilities like bp_members_send_invitation or functions like bp_user_can_create_groups but is there a recommended way to implement restrictions on features?
For example if I only want to allow authors or above to use private messaging but not subscribers-role level users ?
I’ve done what you want to do like this:
$user_compose_url = get_site_url() . '/members/' . get_user_by('id', get_current_user_id())->user_nicename . '/messages/compose';
/* or when Buddypress 12.0 will be released */
$user_compose_url = bp_loggedin_user_url( bp_members_get_path_chunks( array( bp_get_messages_slug(), 'compose' ) ) );
$url = wp_nonce_url(
add_query_arg(
'r',
get_user_by('id', $user_id)->user_nicename,
$user_compose_url
)
);
This way you’ll have the nonce.
You’ll need to adapt the code to where you want to display the button though.
Hey! Newbie here and my idea is to create clean forum, but as I see there is forum and groups. Do i need groups for anything, if I only want forum section? And if the groups are not needed, how I disable it and remove all groups related things? I tryed to deactivate it from settings->BuddyPress-> Deactivating this “User Groups
Groups allow your users to organize themselves into specific public, private or hidden sections with separate activity streams and member listings.” but after doing this my homepage freezes on pc..
I am just thinking that these groups things could be too much as I want simple and clean + easy to use forum.
I am using the latest BuddyPress bundled with Kleo and child theme. The site is corrobex.com. Login works as it should. However, when someone tries to register the Sign Up Page (register) opens and they are immediately confronted with 2 error messages: ERROR: The username field is empty. and Error: The password field is empty.
Completing the fields of the form it then behaves as it should.
However, as the BP registration is set to manually approve applications the text on the response screen needs to be changed advising that their application will be considered and they will be advised it has been accepted or denied.
How/Where do I change the text to a more appropriate response?
It’s possible that the issue stems from BuddyPress configuration, plugin conflicts, or caching problems. Given the complexity and restricted access to the site, hiring an expert on a salary basis could provide dedicated support.
Their expertise can efficiently troubleshoot and resolve the problem, ensuring a smooth and tailored solution for your specific needs.
To allow any logged-in user to post in your bbPress forum within a specific BuddyPress group, go to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Forums > [Your Forum], and adjust the forum’s settings. Look for permissions or access settings and set them to “Logged In Users” rather than restricting it to group members only.
@imath I was running this test with both BuddyPress 12.00-beta4 and previous 11 version too.
I’ve not tried to include the patch you link to me, I’ll try it.
I understand that it could be a bbPress issue. Both bbPress and BuddyPress seem to have been answering on issues that it’s the other plugin that needs to patch. The issue was reported 11 years ago and again 4-5 years ago with the same response on both side.
I don’t know both codebases enough (dug into both of them for the first time last week) to conclude if in the end it’s bbPress or BuddyPress that need patching but in the end there’s been an incompatibility on and off for 10 years… that even happen on Buddypress.org profiles.
I’ll try with the latest BuddyPress patch for bbpress and let you know. Is it implemented on this very website though? Because as I pointed out, this bug is affecting the website here too.
Hi @jgasba
If it’s bbPress pagination, my first guess would be it’s a bbPress issue. Have you tried BuddyPress 12.0.0-beta4 & latest bbPress patched with the patch I’ve attached to this ticket https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3576 ?
There is a very long running issue about that, it seems, on bbpress trac here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3355#comment:4
if you have any more info on that, please share.
Either wait for a bbPress update (it seems that it is in a slow pace lately), or maybe include a function hooking to bbp_get_replies_pagination_base filter (for replies as an example) to fix it on buddyPress side? (or on theme/plugins dev side but then it would probably be a good thing to include it in the docs somewhere?)
(I just typed a response and it does not show. Moderated because of links or bug on my part?)
Shorter version: pagination on your own profile work, but on other people profiles don’t.
@imath if you visit your own profile on this very website you’ll notice that the pagination links link to buddypress .org/page/2/ instead of /members/imath/forums/replies/page/2/
After conducting local test it appears to be a problem on the v.11 too… is it a known issue? Is there a way we can help fix this?
I have some feedback for the beta4: I stumbled upon this issue on my big site config but in troubleshooting mode with only default WP theme 2024 + BuddyPress (Heritage template but Nouveau has same problem) + bbpress I have this issue: in the /members/forums/ tabs of a member page, when I click on the different pages they do not display different content, only first page’s one.
Could this be a problem with BuddyPress or is this only bbpress?
I’m trying to use BuddyPress with a pjax based theme (Waveme) and it does not work.
When I click on “Messages” on a members page nothing appears other than the nav and subnav. Clicking the tabs do not display any content.
Only when I do a hard refresh does it display the Messages and allows the user to switch tabs to see sentbox, messages, or compose form.
When I use Heritage template page the content is displayed. Stylesheet does not seem to load but content is displayed. When using Nouveau, the page stays empty and no content is loaded at all.
Does anyone have any tips on how to solve this? Is there any action or script I have to call on page load so that it initiates BuddyPress when in the members page?
for context:
WP: 6.4.1
BuddyPress: Version 12.0.0-beta4
BuddyPress template: Nouveau
Theme: Waveme. the theme is music based, and it uses pjax so that the currently played music does not stop while navigating.
✅ checked with only theme + BuddyPress enabled in troubleshoot mode: problem still happening
✅ tested on default plugin/core/theme files. No template overload.
🐛 Console or PHP do not return any error.
ps: I have tried more complex things but after troubleshooting it in depth I realized it was a root problem between theme and buddypress.
@africanfoods Let’s discuss about it in another topic, this one is dedicated to testing BuddyPress 12.0 and BP Classic. Just imagine how you would feel if someone would interrupt a discussion you’re having about a topic with something that is not directly related to it.
Please open a new topic, describe your configuration in it: WordPress version, BuddyPress version, PHP version, name of your theme, name of the active BP Template Pack, list of active plugin names as well as active BP Components, whether there is a bp-custom.php file into your plugins directory or any other file into a mu-plugins directory, etc. We’ve sticked this topic to the forum to help you and others have a reply to their troubles, follow these steps, then ask for support. I can’t help you with so few information.
Hello,
we use BuddyPress Version 11.4.0 with WordPress 6.4.1.
Users should register here: https://www.campusaktiv.de/registrieren/
Actually there’s the problem that the page only reloads after pressing the submit button (“Registrierung abschließen”). Nothing happens, no forwarding to activation page or system message.
Can someone help us please?
Kind regards,

Ok, I’m not just able to find templates/index.html in my theme or buddypress directory. Maybe a guide to this path @gingerbooch
due to a bug in the BuddyPress plugin. The plugin is keeping track of the number of friend requests in the database, but it’s not displaying the correct number in the notification bar.
