BuddyPress.org

Hey @professornate! Thanks for posting in the forums!

The issue you are seeing here is a result of some BuddyPress assets not loading. The site is throwing a Javascript error and that is preventing the page from loading.

First thing to try here is to deactivate and reactivate the BuddyPress plugin. If the issue persists, try changing your theme to one of the default WordPress themes (say, twentytwelve). I’m virtually certain that one of those steps will fix the issue. Let me know if it doesn’t.

If the issue is fixed by switching the theme to twentytwelve, try switching it back to your current theme. If the issue comes back, then there is something up with the theme and you should try re-installing it.

More fun with “bp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly.” I tracked it down to the plugin Buddypress Wall in our site. See: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dashboard-warning-and-fix-bp_setup_current_user

Hi @robertosalemi

Check out these:

• https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-component-stats/
• https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-member-profile-stats/

Note: I haven’t used them myself, but they look popular.

@julia_b Nope, I have no connection to flox.io. I only know that the plugin author is the project lead of BuddyPress so I have no hesitation recommending it 🙂 There’s a link to contact the author at the footer of that site if you have any question. Good luck.

but I want to create a graphic UI

You could add a class to each menu link (including BP links) in Appearance > Menus and add the graphics via stylesheet. Just click on the “Screen Options” tab on the upper right hand area of the Menus panel and check “CSS Classes” so you’ll see the class input area for each menu link added.

@markou Have you tried changing to the Twenty Fourteen theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress? If that doesn’t work, facilitate troubleshooting of issue/s by providing more information about your installation https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

A standard installation of BuddyPress does not do the things you describe.

Try deactivating any other plugins you have running and see it that stops your issues.

Create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php

And put what you want into it, such as a link to wp-admin/user/profile.php

For example:

if( bp_is_my_profile() ) { 
   global $current_user;
   get_currentuserinfo();
   $login_name = $current_user->user_login;
   echo '<a href="' . site_url() . '/wp-admin/' . $login_name . '/profile.php">Edit Your Profile</a>';
}

Hi @ddt

This isn’t a problem I’ve come across myself. Can you provide some links to where you’ve read about BuddyPress not liking WordPress in its own directory (as opposed to the root dir)?

@milenushka
BuddyPress 2.1.1
Wordpress latest

Perhaps those styles are no longer being used ?

You can download older versions of BP here.

Make a backup of your database.

Then deactivate the BP plugin.
Then upload another version of BP and activate.

@style960
ok then how can someone insert anything at these pages before the content that BuddyPress inserts?

@milenushka This behaviour isn’t limited to Activity. Any page you set Buddypress to utilize – Groups, Members etc. won’t be available to edit. I’ll have to plead ignorance on this one though – just installed BP 1.81 and while the same pages are available to edit, those changes don’t show on the front-end. I’m not sure what you’ve been able to do with these pages in the past? I suspect the edit link has now been removed to avoid confusion rather than anything else.

Unless you are specifically use the BP default theme, BP will use the files in
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\

Are you sure that your theme or child-theme is not overloading those files?
