Hi @gomle
Thanks a lot for your feedback. About Notifications, I believe using the Notification Web API can improve your “pulling the user to the site” need.
Hi @oumz99
I agree we should look into import/export. To comply with GDPR, users can export the data they created on the site from their profile settings. But a more global tool would be great to easily develop BuddyPress themes or move community generated content to another site.
See & contribute to it there: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1058
Hi @bclaim
So do I! I totally agree with you. We need to rethink the Private Messages component/feature with the goal:
1. to make it a chat like system for member(s) to member(s) discussions as well as between group members discussions. What are channels in Slack could be groups in BuddyPress Private Messages. I’m looking carefully to the Block Editor live collaboration system as it may help us to reach this goal.
2. to move the Community wide notice feature outside of it.
@priyam1234
It should be the case. So it’s not an evolution to me but more a bug. I’ll look into it.
@everyone:
I’ll make sure to talk about it with other members of the BP Core Developers team during our next development meeting.
Here’s my 2 main wishes for 14.0.0:
– Review our different registration flows and allow Administrators to easily disable these BuddyPress registration flows.
– Build new BP Blocks along with a new BP Blocks only Theme to start using the WP Site Editor to customize our community area.
Dear Team,
I trust this message finds you well. I am encountering a compatibility issue between BuddyPress and my website, particularly on pages built using Divi (Ally theme). While other sections of the website function smoothly, the BuddyPress-integrated pages are experiencing disruptions, notably at the URL: https://kiero.tempurl.host/activity/.
Here are the relevant details:
WordPress Version: 6.4.2
BuddyPress Version: 12.2.0
Paid Memberships Pro – bbPress Add On Version: 1.7.4
RegistrationMagic Version: 5.2.5.9
WooCommerce Version: 8.5.2
Divi – Ally Child ThemeVersion: 1.5
I’ve tried troubleshooting independently, but the issue persists. It’s imperative to resolve this promptly to ensure seamless user interactions and community features.
Your expertise in addressing this specific compatibility issue between BuddyPress and Divi (Ally theme) would be greatly appreciated. Any guidance, updates, or troubleshooting steps you can provide are invaluable.
Thank you sincerely for your swift attention and assistance.
Best regards,

Aloha honored Buddypress Forum,
I have been trying for some time to implement a function in Buddypress to enable my users to create channels as well as normal groups.
In the channels only administrators and moderators should be able to publish posts but for example the chat should remain available for the users. The idea is that users can follow a channel that shares specific information but should not be hidden or closed.
Unfortunately, all attempts to write a custom plugin as an extension have so far only triggered a fatal error.
Maybe you have a solution for me.
Best regards

Hello
I have buddypress version 12.2.0 and WP version 6.4.3
I noticed the problem couple of days ago. It is taking several seconds, probably like 30 seconds to show member activity on their profile page. So it is delayed display.
Thanks for the response! I installed classic but no change.
No change when I de-activate the ‘Buddy Press for Learndash’ by BuddyBoss plugin. (https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-learndash/)
I checked with LearnDash and this is still the plugin they advise to use – even though it hasn’t been updated in 4 years. We may just abandon the functionality – it doesn’t offer much value to us if it’s not connected to the online course. I suspect the BuddyBoss plugin is the issue.
Will this help customise the whole look of the page? A plugin, Youzify, I believe may already allow to edit fields.
I’d like to customise all pages, register, change password, complete registration, etc.
It’s odd that Buddypress doesn’t allow that. How do people who use this plugin do it exactly? I’ve heard of people using the provided shortcodes, for people who use Ultimate Member.
What can someone using Buddypress do?
Hello,
I am new to BuddyPress and I am trying to handle a very similar situation: a “niche community” in which parents of caregivers would create profiles of their children to share with teachers or other specialist staff. May I ask you if you were able to use BuddyPress successfully for your project?
My first approach was Moodle, i.e. a teaching platform. However, for the purposes of my project, the roles are “reversed”: parents would become “teachers”, and teachers would become “learners”. I was quite successful in setting this up in Moodle, but the project did not go live, because users will be facing Moodle with its sheer complexity and I would prefer to have a simpler solution that any end user can handle easily.
So, to conclude, I would be happy if you could share your experience with me in using BuddyPress for your project. Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Greeting from Germany,
Armin
Hi Varun,
I cannot protect them using a custom post-type – I have found the new option “BuddyPress Directories” inside the dropdown menu inside the restriction section. Exactly there were the BuddyPress linked to the very first pages which have been removed from the Dashboard > Pages when I updated to BuddyPress 12 and which did not return when I installed BP Classic. I have no access to this very first pages but they seem to be still somewhere in the system.
What would happen, if I deinstall the Buddypress 12 and BP Classic and install BP 12 again without BP Classic and start from scratch? What would happen to the other BuddyPress plugins which I have already configured. Would I have to delete and install them too? Would the Plugins crash down?
As I am still developing the Buddypress I don’t have any activities of members, only a lot of configurations in different third party Buddypress plugins. Would I have to delete them too?
Best wishes

@yatesa01 If this is a fresh installation, you can choose to keep the BuddyPress Classic plugin deactivated. This plugin is designed to provide support for legacy versions of the BP plugin that have not been updated or if you have custom development that uses deprecated codes.
There seems to be a bug in the expected behaviour of the sorting of friendship lists and friendship request lists. When a user visits their friendship list or request list, even though the drop down sort menu shows that it is set to “alphabetical” the actual sorting is “last active.”
To switch it to “Alphabetical” the user must first change it to “last active” before changing it back to “alphabetical.” But this is only a temporary fix–after a reload of the page, it goes back to sorting to “last active” regardless of what the drop down menu says it is doing.
I don’t know if this has been an issue for a while, or if I’m just noticing it. I have BuddyPress 12.2.0 installed on WordPress 6.4.2, along with the BuddyPress Classic plugin activated. I am using BuddyPress Nouveau with the Astra theme.
Today while trying to solve a different issue, I used the BuddyPress tools, “Repair total members count.” and “Repair member “last activity” data” which then reset everyone last activity status to “Not Recently Active.” I thought everything was fine, but then within an hour or two we started getting reports from our members about them not being able to see their friends list or find friendship requests.
As I said, it is possible that this has been the case for a while, but since it was a newer install, everyone who was requesting or accepting friendship connections was by definition recently active. Now that their last active status has been reset, though, it has become quite apparent and is causing a great deal of confusion as people try to find their friends or can’t figure out why they aren’t seeing their friendship requests.
Hello,
My wish is for BuddyPress to have a chat like private messaging system with only one thread allowed between users. Or maybe have a feature where we can enable a periodical delete of older messages so threads don’t get really large and slow.
Is there a way to set the activity feed page to show only up to so many word and thumbnais? right now everything i post is shown 100%, the stream is messy.
TIA,
Latest version of wordpress and buddypress, using generatepress as a theme.
I have tried using a different plugin with Buddy Press before, Paid Member Subscriptions (by Cozmoslabs), and it did not integrate well. In fact, the problems that were caused by trying to integrate PMS and BuddyPress and MailPoet are the reason why I need to start my site over, redesigned, and I’m looking for a simple solution. The paid membership plugins do not allow me to collect snail mail addresses automatically upon registration (and we send things out by regular mail, so that’s important), and they also don’t really integrate into the whole newsletter thing (we have a newsletter that goes out monthly to paid members only)… And all of that doesn’t really integrate into the Member Galleries of BuddyPress. BuddyPress doesn’t make it easy to export data, either. So…
I think I may need to go with Ultimate Member, which integrates with my mail system and now has photo galleries available for individual members (so, something similar to BuddyPress’s galleries), much as I love the idea of BuddyPress.
I guess I am gun-shy, even though maybe integration with Paid Membership Pro could be better; the whole experience of trying to make BP and other plugins work together has been very trying. And we have limited money to spend on solutions.
@erisf it’s more like template driven; you can add additional fields to the registration field
Signup Fields
You can find the ref for template override here https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/
Will suggest checking for BuddyPress themes to avoid excessive work for template override and custom CSS
@giszech, you can protect them using a custom post-type approach instead of pages.
inside the restriction section, you will find a new option inside the dropdown
like Post, Pages, BuddyPress Directories
I’m thinking about creating a BuddyPress plugin and was wondering if the documentation in the Codex is up to date?
Please make sure you have enabled the following option for BuddyPress Settings >> Options.
Activity auto-refresh >> Automatically check for new items while viewing the activity stream
Hi Varun,
Thank you for your answer – but I cannot delete the pages “under construction” they are not visibly but they are still linked in the WooCommerce Membership Tool.
What would happen, if I deinstall the Buddypress 12 and BP Classic and install BP 12 again? Would the Plugins which I have already configured crash down?
As I am still developing the Buddypress I don’t have any activities of members, only a lot of configurations in different third party Buddypress plugins. Would I have to delete them too?
Best wishes

@giszech Delete old BuddyPress pages with “under construction” subtitle to avoid conflicts with the new setup after activating BP Classic. You can deactivate BP Classic after that.
in BP v12, these pages are not required anymore.
Hi there, and welcome to the world of BuddyPress! Don’t worry; the 500 error can be daunting for beginners, but we’ll work together.
I’ve seen this issue reported before with the Lambda theme and BuddyPress, and it boils down to a compatibility issue with the navigation functions. Here’s how we can tackle it:
1. Debug Mode Explained:
Good job enabling debug mode! The error message you shared (“Call to a member function get_primary() on null”) points to line 2558 in bp-core-functions.php. This line attempts to access a navigation menu item that’s not available, causing the 500 error.
2. Don’t Modify Core Files:
While removing the problematic line might seem tempting, avoiding modifying core BuddyPress files directly is crucial. This can cause conflicts and instability down the line.
3. Theme Compatibility Fix:
Instead, let’s explore theme compatibility options:
Theme Update: Check if an updated version of Lambda is available. Developers often fix compatibility issues in newer versions.
Theme-Specific Navigation Hook: Some themes, like Lambda, provide custom hooks for modifying the navigation. Research Lambda’s documentation or contact their support team to see if such a hook exists. You can then use this hook to customize the BuddyPress navigation without touching core files.
Alternate Theme: Unfortunately, if compatibility solutions are unavailable, switching to a different theme that plays well with BuddyPress might be necessary. Popular choices include BuddyPress-compatible themes like BuddyBoss, BuddyPress Theme, and Total.
4. Community Resources:
Don’t hesitate to tap into the wider BuddyPress community for support:
BuddyPress Forums: Head over to the BuddyPress forums and search for similar issues related to Lambda and navigation. You might find existing solutions or helpful advice from other users.
BuddyPress Slack: Join the BuddyPress Slack community to chat with developers and experienced users in real-time.
5. Next Steps:
Based on your preference and technical comfort level, please choose one of the suggested solutions and try it out. If you need further assistance with specific configurations or troubleshooting, please share more details, and we can delve deeper together.
Remember, the BuddyPress community is friendly and supportive, so don’t hesitate to ask for help. Good luck, and I hope you get your BuddyPress site up and running smoothly soon!
Hi BuddyPress Team,
I had installed Buddypress 11.4 > I have created the community Page and wrote in the Subtitle “page is under construction” and published the site to monitor myself how it works> Then came the update to Buddypress 12. > I could not see the pages any longer in the “dashboard > pages”. But I wanted to edit the page and remove the “under construction”. As the page were not visible I created a new one and linked Buddypress Community on this link. – But the very first page with the “under construction” info was still displayed.
Then I installed BP Classic to keep the pages editable.
I use AVADA theme and WooCommerce Membership – all last update and WP 6.4.2. When I want to restrict the content in WooCommerce Membership I cannot assign the new pages but only the very first with the “under construction” subtitle.
What would happen, if I deinstall the Buddypress 12 and BP Classic and install BP 12 again?.
As I am still developing the Buddypress I don’t have any activities of members, only a lot of configurations in different third party Buddypress plugins.
Best regards
Gisela
Can you explain this to me? I am building a membership site that needs to accept money subscriptions; but I also want the functionality of BuddyPress galleries for our members, and the facebook-like interface that lets people chat with one another.
Do I need to scrap BuddyPress and do UltimateMember only?
