I’m not sure what’s causing this problem, but it started happening when I upgraded to latest version of Buddypress. As you can see in the pic below, the buttons disappeared and were replaced with /*Upload/*]]>* which appears to be broken codes.
Wordpress version: 4.6.1
My website is Astralmeta.com
Hi @dcavins
Following up after my last reply. I added your code to the specified directory. I receive this error in all my Buddypress interfaces (i.e. members, forums, etc.)
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/swiftbus/public_html/5firemen.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/classes/class-bp-groups-member.php on line 1314
I just get a white screen with that error in it.
After deleting your code from the file directory above, the problem went away.
However, the original Groups Header issue still persists.
Hope that helps! 🙂
I used this plugin to achieve a personal and business version of my user registration based on conditional settings: https://buddydev.com/plugins/conditional-profile-fields-for-buddypress/ but now when I’m logged in as the user and want to go into my account and edit the profile fields..I cannot get see all of the fields that I want to edit.
How can I let my users edit their profile pictures and cover image and any other info without seeing the backend of my site to do so? I also don’t want the buddypress users to see a toolbar when logged in.
Hi on my buddypress registration page (integrated with the GeoDirectory plugin) I see that I get a message after submission that says: ‘You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address.’
But I’m not sure where I can edit this message to say that it is pending approval instead. There is no redirect after sign up so I cannot see a page that would be the cause of the verbiage. Any solutions on how to easily change this without messing with the hard code?
It says only registered members can see buddypress pages. we want anyone to see our members page but we have wordpress pages we want only members to see. with buddypress registration, it registers them but they can login and see member area just not profile pages.
Trying to get a theme to support BP can be a bit of a challenge, if it were me I’d start with adding the register and login links in the menu then hide them for logged in users to keep it tidy, you can do that using WPFront User Role Editor. I run a few sites with theme’s that don’t support BP, it is possible but often you find yourself having to make css changes in order to display parts of the site correctly.
I’ve set up a site, which is about setting up BuddyPress, you might want to take a look, it might give you some ideas. http://buddyuser.com
People try to upload very large images all the time. There are limits.
read here about increasing limits https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
Hi there!
I noticed that after the latest update of buddypress, I could not create groups anymore.
After investigating a bit, I realized that my user didn’t have ALTER permissions on the database and some database tables were altered in the latest release including the groups table.
The situation now is that I have the latest version of buddypress but I’m not able to align the tables to what they should be now.
This is how the table looks now:
mysql> desc wp_23bp_groups;
+————–+————–+——+—–+———+—————-+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+————–+————–+——+—–+———+—————-+
| id | bigint(20) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| creator_id | bigint(20) | NO | MUL | NULL | |
| name | varchar(100) | NO | | NULL | |
| slug | varchar(200) | NO | | NULL | |
| description | longtext | NO | | NULL | |
| status | varchar(10) | NO | MUL | public | |
| enable_forum | tinyint(1) | NO | | 1 | |
| date_created | datetime | NO | | NULL | |
+————–+————–+——+—–+———+—————-+
8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql>
but there should be a “parent_id” column there and that’s the reason I cannot create groups.
Is there a way that I can repair the database? I tried to remove and reinstall the plugin but it didn’t help.
Thanks a lot!
Details:
Theme: Kleo (Parent and Child) Latest version
WP: Latest Version
BP: Latest Version
Having the same issue and have reported it in Buddypress Trac, Buddypress Support forums (here) and discussed it at length with Seventh Queen (theme developer).
Tried it with all themes…parent, child, and default 2016. Problems exist in all themes
Turned off all plugins. Problem persists regardless.
Cleaned all caches, including host, and Cloudflare.
Can’t seem to find a solution. Any ideas?
Thanks.
You’re on the BuddyPress forum.
To get answers, try better bbPress support.
I’m not sure if this is still of interest – but BuddyBoss has developed a premium theme Social Marketplace that could probably do what you’re looking for:
Social MarketPlace
Yes, you would also need WordPress (free) and BuddyPress (free) and WooCommerce (free) to get it running. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but I’m currently working on a site using Social Portfolio by BuddyBoss and I must say they did a great job. It can be quite demanding to get everything working, but so far I have no complaints. Cheers!
Have you guys every heard of buddypress looking great on a non-friendly buddy press theme i.e. a theme NOT designed for BP? I was hoping to find a free plugin that would help BP function better on a premium theme.
Hi @ruoge2007,
use code button to insert code into topic, thx.
Code suggestion or BP improvement cant be made on Trac. Devs don’t frequent the forum in depth.

Hi @fakurkr,
the other solution is to use the existing action hooks existing in each BP template.
Templates are the files stored in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/ directory.
For example if you read the code in buddypress/members/single/member-header.php, you will find not less than 6 action hooks, only for the profile header. This means 6 potential places where to add something like a message.
Th other avantage of this method is that you don’t need to modify any template and that you stay independant from any theme, because you will use a function from bp-custom.php
In your case, adding a message on user’s profile with help of a function like this:
function bpfr_my_message_on_profile () {
echo 'Your custom text with HTML code or whatever';
add_action( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'bpfr_my_message_on_profile' );
And because it is only fired on a profile header, you don’t need the conditional (my_profile). You can of course add other conditions. Sky is the limit !
@empressdianna,
please use the code button to insert code into topics ! Thx.
You use PMPro and share code related to it. That’s nice and kind, but it is probably more difficult for the most of use who don’t use that plugin to discuss with you.
It can help you, here a great ressource to find anything inside BuddyPress: ie. search result for “N”
What are the buddyPress login error codes
Action=bpnoaccess
What are the other ones?
Hi @danbp
Me again.
First look at this:
// Add Count Near Nav Menu
function my_counter_nav_menu($menu) {
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
return $menu;
}
$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
$user_url = bp_loggedin_user_domain();
$notify_url = $user_url . bp_get_notifications_slug() . '/';
ob_start();
?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $notify_url ?>">Notificaciones <span class="my_bubble"> <?php echo bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( $user_id );?></span> </a></li>
<?php
$menu_items = ob_get_clean();
$menu = $menu . $menu_items;
return $menu;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_counter_nav_menu' );
This is a modification of your code for show notifications bubbles in Main Menu.
Okey, it works but, I dont want this line: <?php echo $notify_url ?>”>Notificaciones
I want to get bubbles for Buddypress-Nav-Menu. You know, Dashboard / Menus / Buddypress. Here you have buddypress links: profile, messages, etc. but, if you add “messages”, appear without counter. So, I want counter for these…
Have you tried setting the forum to Private? Or Hidden?
Go to wp-admin > Forums > Forum Name > Edit > Visibility
btw – these are the BuddyPress forums.
For support for bbPress you should use their forums.
Try this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddydrive/
Google this: buddypress file sharing
Depending on your ability as a coder, you could adapt some code or write it from scratch.
Hi all,
I’m running the latest version of Buddypress and I’m setting up a new site. When going to the users profile and going to the Activity tab, there are subtabs that show up (Personal, Mentions, Floowing, Favorites, etc…) How do I go about hiding these?
…you are losing people and ultimately future profits and benefits
BP is free open source code. There are no direct profits.

There is no promise, explicit or otherwise, that you will get an answer.
How does someone who does not constantly do coding for a living really get BuddyPress to function?
The primary intended audience for users of the BuddyPress codebase: Site Builders and WordPress Developers.
The widgets and shortcodes you tried ( BuddyPress Sitewide Activity ? ) probably do not include the images because widgets generally output a compressed view and images can take a lot of screen area. It would be relatively simple to tweak such a widget to include activity images.
If you don’t know how to code, you can post a job here.
The activity feed has logged several test images as part of the test set up. The primary feed shows the images, but when placed on the front static page only the text appears. One plug in (post to pages) showed image space, so dropped that, went to BuddyPress widget plugin, and also shortcode for “BuddyPress Sitewide Activity” tried with all sorts of themes, other plugins, no help no images. Also tried viewing on other devices, browsers, size and post types.
How, where can I find the ideal way to simply put the activity feed or at least the first few posts on the front page, and keep all the info attached? There seems to be tons of minutia detail which does not directly answer this probably common issue. Is there some clear tutorial /or article, that goes just a tad beyond opening set up (lots good to that point) and into the practical big picture application without getting lost in overt and likely outdated minutia?
All new and updated versions, present Theme Spacious and tried on numerous themes with no improvements or apparent solutions (to me). ((Host-ipage, reinstalled WP, reinstalled Buddypress, deactivated all plugins, all with no improvements-Probably 40 hours of rework here!))
Have searched the forums, and some stuff is unanswered and 4 yrs old. Really the structure of this forum format is really, pretty vague, and unclear (what am I missing?)- and this format does your concern no service at all, you are losing people and ultimately future profits and benefits. How does someone who does not constantly do coding for a living really get BuddyPress to function… or is this a lost cause? I mean it truthfully and humbly… (if not BuddyPress will probably end up in the ash heap only a few years from now, becuase people are putting up less and less with not-ready-for-public consumption apps in favor of things like easy video editing on smartphones, quick posting to many sources, and instant results for almost any function). Please is there some good answer, I hate to see this thing die. I don’t want to give up on this.
Site at issue PrayersforPets1.org also same name as a FB 3000+ member page but was planning hoping to expand.
Thank you,
Victor
