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,
thanks ray I’ve detailed a code example of how I did this on my blog
@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:

Thats weird,I tested this on a fresh test site with just BuddyPress loaded. I’ll test it again
No “membership” anywhere, not on my site admin, not in no settings (no “general”).
Register and Activation Pages
I’m using wp 4.3.1 and twenty fifteen theme.
@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 don’t find any answer browsing the web…
Possible to add custom comment type to buddypress ?
thanks a lot

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.
hello,
I am running newstest versions of wordpress and buddy press and tried 2015 and 2013 themes but cant get profile tabs to work. the site in running locally in WAMP. With new BP install permalink structure is set to post name. Buddypress was installed through wordpress plugins and not ftp. Pages in buddy press setting are associated with correct pages but buddy press does not populate on member, groups, activity pages. im sure its a simple fix but im a newbie
So basically your not going to do a thing about it? Okay, I will just remove BuddyPress, and thanks for the support I wouldn’t expect. I doubt Tagdiv is going to do a thing about it. Since, I get told that I have to go to theme author to get the styling done for BuddyPress too. I might as well give up on the whole BuddyPress thing. As soon as I am done with this reply, I am removing BuddyPress.
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.
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!
BuddyPress 2.4 — probably due out this week — changes multi-line text area fields to use TinyMCE, like the WordPress post editor.
So I am getting my extra user data fields with a line like:
echo '<div style="position: absolute; left:150px;">' , bp_get_member_profile_data('field=Ovni model'),'</div>';
But I would like them to be search links as it is in an individual profile. I have achieved this with
echo '<div style="position: absolute; left:60px;"><a href=', $bp->pages->members, '?s=', bp_get_member_profile_data('field=Ovni model'),' rel="nofollow">' , bp_get_member_profile_data('field=Ovni model'),'</a></div>';
However, I am now also using the plugin Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress, which lets me set which profile fields should not be search links and also allows users to spilt their data up, so a profile field “[ocean] and [coast]” gets two separate search links, one for ‘ocean’ and another for ‘coast’. Neat. It seems to do this by adding a filter to bp_get_the_profile_field_value.
However, my manual addition of search links as above ignores these settings, and any [] in the fields comes through and are visible.
It occurs to me that, rather than fetching the fields with bp_get_member_profile_data(), I would do better to get the data however it is got for the individual profile display, as this method puts the search links in and obeys the options set in Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress. I have spent much of today trying to find how to call bp_get_the_profile_field_value. If I use
echo '<div style="position: absolute; left:150px;">' , bp_get_member_profile_value('field=Ovni model'),'</div>';
I get an invalid link. I suspect it need a data type argument to get a search link. I have tried to find how it is called to display the user profile, but failed to find it. In the BP Codex I have only found how to remove the filter that puts the links in.
If someone could enlighten me it would be most helpful. Thanks.
Hello @danbp
What would i do if i want to remove a tab? Please refer to my question
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hiding-groups-and-forums-from-members-page/
Thanks,
Parag
Is there a better looking bp comments plugin with some better styling?
I’m not aware of any. You could adjust or add css to change the styling.
…the bp activity stream will not pick up these comments.
You’ll need to use bp_actvity_add() to do that.
Your theme may have a hook you can use – ask them.
