BuddyPress.org

Hi,

you have to debug your install. It’s probably a theme conflict or a cache issue, related to a content.

Activate a twenty theme and deactivate all your plugins except BuddyPress and clear your cache. Test WP+BP+Theme. If ok, reactivate plugins one by one untill you find a culprit.

Please take advice from here.

You could try disabling some BuddyPress components that you could sacrifice using.

Go to “Settings > BuddyPress > Components” and uncheck one component. Then, go back to the “Emails” dashboard page to see if it will load. If that doesn’t work, repeat this process until the “Emails” page loads.

If it loads, make the changes you need to make. Then, re-enable the BuddyPress components you disabled.

I know bbPress has their own version of at-mentions. You should experiment by disabling the Activity Streams component from BuddyPress and testing an at-mention in a bbPress forum post to see what happens.

Hi @kory27,

checked your site and found that you haven’t setup correctly BP/WP.

The link to members page you use is:
../gamma.rabbitholeconsulting.com/index.php/activity/

Same path error for activities…

The path should be ../gamma.rabbitholeconsulting.com/members/ When you use this path you’ll see your members (actually 2)

I suggest that you read carefully WP’s install documentation.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Detailed_Instructions
and for BuddyPress

Configure BuddyPress

Hi @mosesyoon,

If you find the file that is creating the avatar picture, wrapping the avatar code in something like this might work:

<a href="<?php bp_displayed_user_link(); ?>"> AVATAR PICTURE FUNCTION/CODE HERE </a>

Example below is from the buddypress cover-image-header.php file. Once you have found the file, ensure that you copy it into your child theme before making modifications.

<div id="item-header-avatar">
	<a href="<?php bp_displayed_user_link(); ?>">
		<?php bp_displayed_user_avatar( 'type=full' ); ?>
	</a>
</div>

(not really familiar with the blog side as i don’t use it nor do i know your site setup, so this approach is more a shot in the dark)

Keep an eye on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6970

@bobbyredding Thank you for letting us know about this bug!

Hi,

which theme do you use ? The blue navigation menu is not a BP reference.

On a first install, you enable BP and all pages related to default activated components are created. These pages are not ordinary pages, but dynamical pages intended for internal use only. A kind of placeholders where BP applies a specific template, depending the context.

Out of the box you have 3 BP pages in BP’s settings: Members (mandatory), Site activities, Groups.

These pages and any other created later if you use other components in addition to defaults, should stay empty, without shortcodes, content or template sssignation, CPT’s or whatever.

Just a page and a title. Anything that should appear on such pages is handled by BP’s templates (bp-themes/bp-legacy/buddypress).

For now, delete the profile page you created and clear it from trash (important).

Profiles are handled by/on the mandatory Members page. No need to create an extra page for them.

Read the install documentation for more details.

Now the user profile link. This is a dynamic link who varies for each user. Something like (your_site/members/USERNAME/profile).

Read here how you can do that.

And as you’re trying to customize BP, read the documentation about child-theme first.

Since you are memory-restricted, you can try disabling all unnecessary plugins except BuddyPress to see if that helps.

Hello, I had this same problem and this is how I fixed it. It was mentioned in this thread
(https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bad-link-to-profile-edit/)
that there may be a problem in the database table “wp_bp_xprofile_groups”. For some reason the first item id there is not “1” but something else. As you change the id to 1, everything works. Then it also shows the Profile details side Name field (required) in the registration page.

Also there was a problem to edit profile, it went to “Page not found”. This gets fixed also now, now you can edit the fields.

This seems to be some kind of bug in the installing process in some circumstances. I tested this by removing the BuddyPress and also deleting the BuddyPress database tables. They must be deleted manually, they wont get out by deleting the plugin.

New installation put the first id number to “3” to “wp_bp_xprofile_groups” table. Even the group_id in the table “wp_bp_xprofile_fields” was “1” (after I activated some components in BuddyPress menu, before that the tables were empty) for the first field item. So now the field item and the group item never matched.

Hopefully this helps someone. It seems that there are a lot of discussion of this problem, and this is a very annoying problem if you are really using BuddyPress.

Basically the registering had a workaround for example by using plugin “Theme my login”. The registering also looks simpler as there is not that “extra” name field. It is however unknown how BuddyPress works without that name field. Well, but perhaps that is an another story.
