I am using the following:
Wordpress 4.7.2
Buddypress 2.8.0
with the Socialize theme.
My site is http://www.sagedrops.com
I have created the following pages that Buddypress tells you to create initially: Members, Activate, Register, Activity. When I click on preview for each of these pages, it just displays the title of the page (members, etc), not the actual content that is supposed to be there. Am I missing something basic or is there a problem that is preventing these pages from showing the actual content?
Thank you,
Jody
When you are on frontend, your profile tab, you should see follwing menu items under the buddy nav bar:
View | Edit | Change Profile Photo | Change Cover Image
and the same items under your user menu (below Howdy), in the top right corner on the Toolbar, as submenu of the Profile item.
If it isn’t case, some common issues can be:
– you omitted to save your BP options
– you use a cache and see the site content from before BP installation
– there is a weird bug in a file
– your theme isn’t taylored for BuddyPress
– there is a conflict with another plugin
What you could try:
– double check your settings
– clear the cache
– reload a fresh copy of BP via FTP
– test with a Twenty theme
– you have to debug
Note also that you can only load ONE avatar or ONE cover image at a time and that you have definitely only one picture for each bundled with your account.
I use the BP PROFILE SEARCH plugin (mandatory for members search form i think… because if Deactivate it search form deseapered)
and SuitePlugins – Advanced XProfile Fields for BuddyPress
Hi!
I am using WP 4.7.2 with BuddyPress 2.8.0. Under ‘settings’ > ‘buddypress’ the option “profile photo uploads” is enabled, but the frontend does not show this option. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!
@johanna75 – very interesting – I wonder if this happens with the other buddypress search plugins as well. I assume you are using the standard bp members search not one of the add on profile search plugins?
Hi,
The BuddyPress plugin has started recently to cause a white screen only when I login to admin and then View Site. The site is not displayable. When I logout I can see the site again.
This started not too long ago. The site has been live and working OK for a few months but it just started the other day. I’ve disabled all plugins to find out it was BuddyPress being the cause.
This may be due to an update/upgrade so I’m presuming it’s happening to a lot of clients using the BuddyPress engine.
Can you please help me sort it as the site is live and I have registered members who cannot use it when they login?
Appreciated.

I am using buddypress plugin , once I login, i click members , it is displaying member page but it is showing (cancel friendship) improperly. Please help me.
I am moving my current guild forums from PHPbb to buddypress/bbpress in wordpress. But there is one thing I cant seem to find, and Ive been looking around and it seems im not the only one looking.
Looking for application plugin
Here is what im looking for, user registers and then applys for a specific group by going to a page with the php form and on submission the post is made in a specified forum.
Here is the addon that I use with phpbb PHPBB Forum Plugin Here are some screenshots of it in its current use
Front end application

Then it creates a new post with New Application from %username

Then in the output view it has it in its own post

Has anyone seen ANYTHING from bbpress or buddy press that can do this?
Thank you for any information you may have available,

Hi danbp, thank you for your response. Unfortunately I’m not sure how I can get this to work.
Can you please show me a loop that will show all activity for say a group with ID 2. Or even with a slug, say ‘group_slug’.
Here is the loop I am using:
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . "&primary_id=2" ) ) : ?>
<?php while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity(); ?>
<?php locate_template( array( 'buddypress/activity/entry.php' ), true, false ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
I tried both to incorporate your code into the activity loop but it didn’t work.
I want display this activty not on a buddypress page. I want it to go on homepage. I can already get the group ID I just want to be able to make a loop that displays the activity of a curtain groupusing the group ID.
If you could show me a whole complete loop that would work I would be really greatful.
Thanks
You have already asked for this in the past 2 weeks!
How to add a tab or content (like user’s post) on a profile is explained in many topics if you would take a little while to search the forum.
You want to use a third party plugin, but we can’t help you for this as we are all volonteers here, who have enough to do with BuddyPress. It is to you to read the software documentation and built it in your site.
This topic is closed as duplicate. Conversation continues here.
Hi,
you have to use a group_id and to ensure you’re in an appropriate loop (activity or group)
To get a group id, you can for ex. do:
// check for a group ID
if( bp_has_groups() ) {
// Grab current group ID
bp_the_group();
$group_id = bp_get_group_ID();
}
// apply our changes only to this group ID's
// conditionnal action
if ( $group_id == 22 OR $group_id == 8 ) {
… and so on!
You may also use bp_parse_args, depending where you use your custom work. In other words, you can create a complete new activity loop on a distinct page template for only one group.

@malaruban – did you search the forum for this? It’s answered like very month since the beginning I think..
everyone has different suggestions..
1 many suggest “wp spamshield”
2 I like “good question” plugin on one site, but use “buddypress humanity” on another..
one I’ve considered replacing those wit his “user registration aid”
3 I also use ip geo block – biggest help on most sites.
4 strongly suggest getting the “shield” firewall plugin and going into lockdown menu and disabling xmlrpc and rest api – but your situation may vary.
I use all four plus more on various sites (just one of them from step 2)
page titles for member profile pages and group pages are not easy to change up – I posted some info I got a while back on this, but before I go digging for that info, I wonder if you really mean groups like buddypress groups.. since your url fragment there has “forum” in it – you may be refering to page title for the forums which I think is more of a bbpress issue (?) –
There are so many possibilities with Buddypress as it is but there many ways it can be improved. I know it’s a fact of life that we must rely on plugin developers to make our sites unique so I will focus on features already in Buddypress core that could be improved.
User management and profiles: This really should be developed further for easy user management. I understand many of these have plugin options available but adding to core would be a major improvement for managing large scale sites.
1. All user management columns should be sortable.
2. IP address and country should be built in without a plugin.
3. Add User ID to admin column.
4. Add ability to moderate with suspend and ban with a period of time and notice.
5. Add ability to core to easily change member types.
6. Add last login to core
7. Add ability for members to block other members.
8. Add ability to hide profile.
9. Add ability to block domains from signing up.
10. Add more privacy settings allowing members to control all aspects of their content.
Notifications:
1. Add instant notifications.
2. Send email on notifications to increase site engagement.
3. Add user thumbnail image along with notification.
4. Show day or date on the notification.
I realize many of these can be accomplished with plugins but some of these really need to be built in core to improve performance and security.
Random suggestions would be to add more basic features similar to Facebook and Twitter and bring Buddypress up as the go to social network builder. Mentions, search, favorites, likes, autocomplete are in need of an update to be modern.
It’s my opinion not fact. 🙂
Thanks! I actually figured it out with the BuddyPress plugin. Another plugin was blocking me from adding the BuddyPress Login to the widgets once that was allowed it fixed itself.
I had to add this code to my functions.php file to get rid of it.
/* Remove errors if any */
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE);
/* End remove Errors */
It just removes the warning, but doesn’t solve the problem that causes it. I wasn’t able to find a resolution to that and may need for my plugins to update in order to solve it. Mine was being caused by a conflict between BuddyPress and W3 Total Cache.
I didn’t know that BuddyPress didn’t have a login page so my bad. What other details do I need to include?
BuddyPress doesn’t use “a login page”. If you have a radio button for the “remember me” option, it is certainly because you’re using a third party plugin or theme or widget.
But you don’t give any detail about your config, so it is just impossible to tell you more!
Hi,
please try to search a little before asking such basic question! Ie, you would have found this one:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/create-dynamic-user-links-to-end-users-wallprofile-etc/
Hey,
This sounds really basic but for some reason I cant add a link to the users profile in my menu. I would like to have it on the right side of page with the login / logout but cant seem to get it there. Ive used BuddyPress before and I had links in my Appearance > Menus for “Profile” and that was perfect. I know this would be my link /members/admin/ but every profile changes per account. I saw some forms that had a php code but I have no idea where I would add that.
Thank you for the help!
Currently the ‘Remember Me’ option on the login page displays as a radio button. How would I change it to a checkbox?
Can you give an example of what you tried and tell us where you did that change ?
Also, you should test BuddyPress with one of WP’s default Twenty theme before activating any other theme.
And more generally, giving some details can help too.
This field is visible by default.

If not, so the problem might be with your theme.
