You misunderstood me:
[…] if it uses the same template why would it work on the Members page but not the Profile.
I said the same page, not the same template. Members directory has his own template and a profile has some other template. Directory and profiles are using the same page: members. And not at least, this is only a page name. Technicaly, BP use page.php

See template hierarchy on Codex to understand how it works.

Now, why is the sidebar not showing widgets despite the sidebar code is in the page source ? No idea… Seems to me you use a lot of parts which are not from WordPress and some unusual settings to show your site…

If you use custom sidebars from your theme, you have to try those bars.
Activate 2015 and see how to get widgets to appear on that theme first. Then reactivate Wellness and see what you get.
Or ask your theme support.

Sorry, but i can’t help you much more because you’re using a premium theme.
And as you don’t give details about your install, you can’t expect more for now.

Members and profile use he same page, members, with contextual templates.

Ensure first that the member page is empty, without any setting, parent page or aattached template. BP component pages must be blank.

After this it depends of the theme. Does he use some extra settings for widgets ? A custom sidebar ?…

Look at this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\index.php

Note the 3 action hooks near the top.
Use one of them to add your image.
For example:

function sstan_add_img() { 
   echo '<img src="url to your image">';
}
add_action( 'bp_before_directory_groups', 'sstan_add_img' );

Do you want this picture as group logo ? Or to just display it on a group page ?

BP components pages should stay blank, without any page setting like normal WP pages.
It works on bbp because it’s a “real” static page which let you also handle bbp output with shortcodes. BP pages don’t work like this.

There was also a kind of experimental plugin in the past:

@mcuk,
well done! Your request is under consideration.

Wait and see… 😉

They are several places where change-avatar is used and i recommend you to not change this.

Open eventually an enhancement ticket and see what the dev’s think about.

Use same login credentials as for here.

Please use the codex first for basic questions around WordPress or BuddyPress.

BuddyPress comes with a login widget you can use on every existing theme who accept widgets.

BuddyPress Widgets

To style a button, you use CSS. This is common to any modern CMS software.

It is not Buddypress that is causing the error, but reflecting that a comment has been submitted that should be moderated because it looks like spam.

If you want all the links to go thru, go to the Dashboard/Settings/Discussion/Comment Moderation
and change the number of links it allows to 0. (Or maybe just up it to what you are comfortable with.)

My opinion ? Install BuddyPress !

Yes, if you know how to code a custom function into BuddyPress.

If you need forums with your BuddyPress Groups you have to install bbPress.

Hallo,

Hey @mcpeanut!

The pandemonium is rarely related to WordPress core or BuddyPress core (the core devs usually issue a fix before we even know there’s a problem). So it’s a great idea to keep up to date as you’ve already mentioned.

The tricky part arrives when we look at plugins. Whilst WordPress does everything it can to make plugin developers aware of security issues, fixes are ultimately down to the plugin author. It’s always a good idea to use plugins that are activity maintained and supported. The same could be said for themes actually.

I think it does that by default yeah (i say ‘think’ because I’ve been customizing for a little while now and can’t remember 100% what is default). But I’m fairly sure, 95%, that what you are describing is default.

I’ve basically started from zero knowledge on Buddypress and used the forum & Codex for help to progress. Other users and moderators have usually posted relevant stuff and have helped me out on things too. So no php skills shouldn’t hurt unless you want to customize heavily. Lots of code is scattered around the forums.

hi @phloo,

see
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-shortcode-to-show-number-of-members/

I’m waiting for the imminent upcoming BuddyPress Survey to know the percentage of user searching on forums and on Codex. 2014 was a bit disapointing about that…

@cowens8

give details about your config, php version and memory_limit
