I am missing the buttons seen on this article https://codex.buddypress.org/administrator-guide/messages/
When I was working on it and trying it out, they popped up once, but I can’t get them to come up again.
I am using generatepress theme not sure why I would see them once but not again. How do I get those buttons back?
my website is inspireherpossibilities.com
I am using Buddypress Legacy.
Thank you for your reply.
I didn’t build this website. But I am trying to help track down the problem they are experiencing. That being said, I don’t believe there is custom code for Taxonamy implemented. however, they have BuddyPress running with Memberium and Learndash.
PHP: 8.0.3
Hello Forum,
how can you create a page, which only contains the user profile (from BuddyPress)?
Thank you for your help!
WordPress : 6.3.1
BuddyPress : 11.3.1
Youzify : 3.3.9
Dear users,
Since +/- 1 month the ‘Load More’ option on the activity page doesn’t work. On mobile (iOS and Android) nothing happens, and on Google Chrome first nothing happens and then a browser error occurs “The page doesn’t reply, would you like to wait or close”.
The “Load More” on other pages (user activity, etc.) works.
Using a lots of plugin which makes it hard for me with my knowledge to understand where it comes from. A new wordpress + buddypress + standard wp theme works fine.
My questions are:
– Is it possible to have pagination on the activity wall stream page but keep the other pages as they are for the timebeing?
– How can I debug where the error comes from?
Regards
Hi @teeboy4real
I believe most errors were notice errors as we deprecated a lot of functions in 12.0.0. I got in touch with @r-a-y he will review my PR soon https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-followers/pull/126 and we’ll work on making the plugin a new BuddyPress Add-on.
Hi @imath,
Thanks for that, and sorry to be a pain (although hopefully I am bringing up things that do need addressing and are not unique to my setup), but I have discovered something else that is not working as I expect, as follows:
If someone comments on an Activity post, on my existing (not test) setup, that comment has the options below it to either Reply, Edit or Delete; but the reply and edit options are missing in my test setup for non-admin users, and the reply one is missing for admin. I am still using the default theme on my existing site, whereas I am using Nouveau on the test site, so is this a Nouveau issue? I downgraded to the current non beta BP on my test site but no difference. I am going to also investigate if a plugin is causing it, but as I have the same plugins on both sites it seems unlikely. I deactivated one plugin that seemed the most likely culprit (Buddypress Edit Activity from Buddyboss – https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-edit-activity/) but it was still the same (except of course this plugin is what adds the edit button in the first place, but the reply one is still missing).
On a bit of a tangent, can I assume that this forum is running on bbpress? It’s just that I am thinking about adding a forum but am not finding this one very user friendly – for example the reply button is not visible until you hover over the post you want to reply to, and then it doesn’t automatically add the “@name” at the beginning, plus everything is written in a code box rather than normal input, just for starters. Font size could do with being larger too. Or is it just me?
Hello,
I am reaching out to report multiple critical PHP fatal errors that have been occurring on our website, specifically related to BuddyPress. These errors seem to be causing significant disruptions and I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving them.
Error Message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: array_merge(): Argument #2 must be of type array, WP_Error given.
File: /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-taxonomy.php
Line: 170
Wordpress Version: 6.3.1
BuddyPress Version: 11.3.1
Memberium Version: 2.207
Observations:
The errors seem to be originating from the BuddyPress plugin, specifically within the bp-core-taxonomy.php file.
The issue appears to be related to the array_merge() function where the second argument is not being recognized as an array but rather as a WP_Error.
The errors also seem to be interacting with another plugin, memberium2, as seen in the stack trace.
Given the critical nature of these errors and their potential impact on my website’s functionality and user experience, I kindly request your attention to this matter.
Please let me know if you need any additional information or access to assist in troubleshooting and resolving these issues.
Thank you for your assistance.
We encountered the exact same error… our elementor editor only works if we disable buddypress. We are an online learning platform and when we disable our buddypress, all of our students lose the ability to access their content. This is a major problem and if there is not a fix for this issue, we will have to use a substitute for buddypress that can work with elementor editor.
Any news regarding a fix would be great.
Hello, I am looking for a way to set a profile field that display multiple dates, that users choose in a dates selector without writing each of them manually. Each user has to give their availability for the month, thought of this way since an availability calendar plugin for Buddypress profile doesn’t exist yet.
Thank you
Hello @imath @vapvarun ,
I would like to seek advice and express my concern about a particular buddypress plugin (Buddypress Follow) in relation to the upcoming version of buddypress 12.0.0.
I decided to test buddypress 12.0.0 beta 1 & 2 and noticed that clicking the user navigation menu for following and followers tab triggers an error. The plugin is not compatible with the upcoming buddypress 12.0.0.
Honestly I believe this plugin should have been a part of the default buddypress component long time ago as an the option to select (connection type) would be awesome. Not every community can be built around friendship component.
For example my site has member types (business) and (organisation), it would not make sense for a business to add another business as friends only human entities should do that, using the follow component would be more appropriate.
My fear and frustration now is that ive built a community around this follow plugin with lots of already established follow connections. Upgrading to buddypress 12.0.0 would be almost impossible
The plugin author (ray) has not been responsive about maintaining this plugin, even the team at Buddydev are ready to help develop and maintain the plugin but the author has been silent see Brajesh’s request at https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-followers/issues/111
I also raised my issue at https://github.com/r-a-y/buddypress-followers/issues/125
But not feedback from the author.
Your help would be much appreciated in contacting ray
Thanks & regards
I’m back 2yrs later, trying with another build using buddypress. I thought I solved this question away from the support forums here, but don’t remember what I did at the moment. I want the members of private groups, to see private group activity in their main newsfeed. Non members should not see this activity, but members should. I don’t know if I found a code snippet or what, I need to fix this. I want an FB-like experience where you see any activity from any of your groups in your main newsfeed. If you aren’t a member of a private group, you won’t see it’s activity, but if you are a member of a private group, you will.
Wordpress version 6.3.1
BuddyPress version: 11.3.1
website: erindaletapestrystudio.com
Problem: While editing any page, cannot choose image in any image control when BuddyPress is enabled.
Disable BuddyPress and choose image works perfectly.
To replicate, install BuddyPress with Elementor Pro , create page, place image elemant on page, attempt to choose image. (fails) then disable BuddyPress, create page, place image element on page, attempt to choose image. (success)
Can this be fixed?
Thanks so much for your input
I have just updated to the beta 2 version, and I have just discovered something with regards to the issue with the Buddypress Member menu items I reported previously, where they would only appear when the user was actually on a Member page and not on any other page (i.e. Activity, Groups, Members or ordinary WP pages). I had the BP Classic plugin installed and activated, and when I deactivated it, the menus appeared as they should, so that is something to be aware of.
Just as an addendum, so far I have not run into any issues with third party BP plugins yet, but will obviously report any to the relevant plugin authors if I do, so hats off to you for that.
i used buddypress version 11.3.1
i used aardvark theme

Hello!
When I activate my activity feed element from buddypress, Suddenly, my profile edit page becomes the activity feed, and the there isn’t a way to edit my profile anymore.
Before:

After:

Is there a way to have activity feed, but still be able to show/edit the regular profile?
Hi again @vapvarun,
Sorry to say that BuddyX is a disappointment – it is nowhere near as flexible as Blocksy, for instance you can’t adjust sidebar width, you can’t have the sidebar at the top on smaller screens, you can’t move the menu, the header is also less useful and many more things that I have discovered in just a few hours. Also still the same issue with buttons not consistently styled, and no options to style forms, tabs etc. I honestly think it would be just as much work trying to get the consistent styling that I want as it is now with Blocksy, but with less flexibility in getting the design I want. The problem derives from Buddypress though rsather than either theme in terms of the styling because BP uses so many different classes for things that could be grouped. My only ultimate solution is to eventually grasp the nettle and completely rewrite all the relevant templates, but I simply don’t have time now, and with all the changes in the pipeline it might prove wasted effort as well.
Hi @vapvarun,
Thanks for the suggestion, I will look at it; however I am not using the Buddypress ‘member system’ directly, as I have a seperate membership plugin to allow me to have paid memberships using Stripe – do you know if this would be possible with BuddyX and BP? I also need to have a theme that is very customisable, and Blocksy fits that very nicely, plus I know it well and it has great support, so I am a little reluctant to change themes. I also have a lot of plugins and quite a lot of custom functions, and again I would be worried that another theme might have conflicts with those. It would inevitably be a big job changing themes even if it clears all the other hurdles, but I will investigate.
Hi @awol
I believe what you described about Post Type Activities is relative to this ticket: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8343. Unfortunately I won’t be able to give it some attention, so the issue will still exist in next major version.
My priority for the end of this 12.0 development cycle is to document the important change about the BP Rewrites API, hoping plugin authors will use it to make sure their plugins will be ready for this API.
About BP Template Packs, we do not have (unlike the BP Default theme) any plan to deprecate these for now and coming releases.
There will be a new BP standalone theme. It will be a Block only Theme, we’ll use it to make it possible to use the Site Editor to customize the BuddyPress area of the site. I believe we should release this theme out of the BuddyPress plugin and directly host it on the WordPress Theme directory.
For more information about it you can read these 2 posts:
What new features will be coming to BuddyPress?
How should back-end & front-end BuddyPress Interfaces evolve?
I can upload profile pictures from my computer but the image is always cropped in the top left corner of the picture. The crop image feature doesn’t work. I’m using WP v6.3.1 and BuddyPress Version 11.3.1.
How do I fix this issue?
Hi @jcknight,
Just to clarify, BP (BuddyPress?) does not have its own login pages. However, you can use the default wp-login page and customize it with a third-party plugin. There are also several plugins available that offer login shortcodes or widgets, which can help you create a login page. Hope this helps!
For the Private community, you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/lock-my-bp/ until it becomes part of BP v12.0.
Hi
I’ve having an issue when users try to register on the site. They get an error message telling them there is a critical error on this website. I have de-activated all the plugins as suggested and nothing seems to work. I checked the error logs and this is what comes up but I don’t understand any of it. Can anyone shed some light on what to do please? My website is mylocalcommunity.org

There has been a critical error on this website.
Hello, I installed WordPress without utilising Softaculus, a server-side programme, then Buddypress, and ‘boom,’ I was done. Nothing, not even 404 errors, anymore. I won’t ever again use server-side software to manage my WordPress, at least not that one! Now that we know it does cause issues, I hope other people are not using it with their hosting either. The problem is resolved. I appreciate your promptness and diligence in making an effort to take care of me.
I’m grateful.
Hello!
I’m currently in the middle of integrating a bbpress/buddypress site and this has come up;
I’m using groups to prevent access to some forums, but is there a way to do the same with some pages?
Like say page X is only available if you have user role Y?
Hey! I have a bilingual site that sends emails to users based on their activity. What I would like to do is that if someone uses the site in English mode, they will receive emails in English. And if you use the site in Italian, you will receive emails in Italian. Buddypress email. BBpress, Translatepress.
How can i do this?

Public messaging in BuddyPress refers to messages that can be seen by all users, regardless of whether they belong to a specific group or not. These messages are visible to the entire BuddyPress community and do not require the existence of a group for users to access them. This open accessibility fosters broader communication among users within the BuddyPress platform.
I hope this message is very helpful to you.
