BuddyPress.org

Just a wild guess… I’ve had this issue once and the plugin ‘nextgen gallery’ turned out to be the cause. If you too have nextgen gallery active, try deactivating it. More info at https://buddypress.org/support/topic/user-cant-edit-profile-page/.

Thanks for the bug report, @wvmohzoibar.

Before I file a ticket about this, can you tell us how you triggered this bug?

We do some checks to ensure that the profile group ID is not blank before proceeding, so it would be nice to find out how you are encountering this error:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.4.0/src/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-functions.php?marks=241-244,258#L224

I was changing some settings in another plugin

What plugin were you using that caused this bug?

@functionmunchkin there is no shortcode for the registration form. Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to the Twenty Fifteen/Fourteen theme to check if you have theme/plugin conflict. As to membership option, visitors who register and activate their account become regular members of the site, so it would be more helpful if you are more specific about what kind of option you are looking for.

quick mention – I have the same problem – upgraded to buddypress Version 2.4.0 about 15min ago and now visibility settings when set to Enforce field visibility by admin is ignored on the front end.

before upgrade all base fields where set to “all members” and set to “Enforce field visibility” with no issues

after upgrade – no changes and been made to above settings, and are still applied – but members can change.

WordPress 4.3.1 running Kleo Child theme.

Cheers,

@ahmed-dogan – if you find this somewhere, I’d love to get some details on doing the same thing.

If you find someone that can code it I may be willing to split to cost or something..

Are you looking at hooking into the buddypress membership levels or using a separate membership thing like s2 member or something else?

FYI there’s a codex page you can read in case of problem. By default, the Cover Images feature is adding an inline style to bp-legacy-css, you can see it in the head tag of your pages:

I’ve just tested with a child theme, your problem should only happen if you are overriding buddypress.css within your child theme. In this case you’ll need some extra work as explained here:

BuddyPress Cover Images

@functionmunchkin

Thanks for the feedback. I’m assuming this is feedback regarding the BuddyPress forum, rather than the BuddyPress software. In your own forum, you can change the location of the new topic form by modifying your theme. See the Theme Compatibility article for more info. Any questions you may have feel free to ask on their support forum:

@freakyy85 – I’ve contacted the author of BuddyPress Activity Privacy with a fix.

In the meantime, to fix this manually, make the following change:

@thood32 – I’ve merged the two forum threads you created that were identical to each other.

Can you try deactivating all plugins on your WAMP install except for BuddyPress and see if the BuddyPress member pages work as expected?

Hi @josephz94

Users can upload profile pictures (in theory) however I was not able to upload a picture. I kept getting a http error.

Do you do anything like upload the media library onto Amazon S3 or some other cloud service?

-the Favorite button was unresponsive

It sounds you’ve got several button problems. Do you know how to look at your web browser’s Javascript error console, and see if there is any output? (On page load, and also when you try to click the button)

BuddyPress Activity Plus

Have you tested disabling this plugin to see if it had any affect?

Buddy press is activated on a per site basis in a multi-site, multi-network installation.

Multi-network is a pretty advanced configuration, so to cover bases, it would be interesting to know what you’ve done to enable multi-network in both WordPress and BuddyPress, please?

I’m really sorry to read this thread. I think we’ve done our best to prevent this kind of situation by including some easy ways to deactivate the cover images if the theme you are using haven’t upgraded to support it.

On september 3Oth, more than a month ago, we’ve posted on our blog to explain to everyone how the Cover Images could impact themes, see https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2015/09/30/buddypress-2-4-0-will-introduce-cover-images-for-members-groups/

At the end of this post i’ve insisted on this point :

If you are a theme designer or the author of a plugin managing Cover images, we recommend that you don’t forget to test that everything works fine for you during the 2.4.0 beta period.

Then, a month ago, we’ve added a codex page to explain to everyone how to implement cover images for specific themes : https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/buddypress-cover-images/

Then we published a beta and a release candidate to let people test it, to make sure everything was working fine.

I understand your frustration, but be sure we’re always trying to do our best. BuddyPress is free, open source and is maintained by volunteers like @r-a-y and me. We’ve been testing as much themes as we could, unfortunately your particular theme wasn’t available for us. I’m convinced the TagDiv team will soon implement the cover images feature into their themes, and if they have any question, i’ll be happy to help them.

Best wishes.

I tested the Graphene theme that is listed on wordpress.org:

Graphene

And it works for me:

What is the exact problem?

I just installed NewsMag and the profile tabs and cover image feature look fine on an unmodified install:

Again, we cannot account for every single variant of every available theme out there. If you have some CSS knowledge, you’ll have to adjust it yourself.

Uninstalling BuddyPress and reinstalling did nothing at all. Data repair did nothing. I disabled cover photos and it works fine. It is the cover photos enabled and I lose the whole tabs in profile.

Congrats imath!

A BuddyPress user is a WordPress user, so you should be able to use WordPress user API functions for this.

For BuddyPress groups, check out groups_create_group():

@djpaul – Wholy! Bleep!

So it may be easier for me to add two new buttons to the comment replies things all around buddypress in the near future?! IS the wordpress editor button API )think it came out like 3 versions ago?) going to flow through to this in BP?

So glad to see this!

@redgard
seems to be a similar question with a couple of intersting answers here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/html-or-wysiwyg-in-text-profile-fields/

BuddyPress 2.4 — probably due out this week — changes multi-line text area fields to use TinyMCE, like the WordPress post editor.
