Hello,
Yes theme/buddypress/css/ refers to a BP ready theme (Kleo).
styles written to the head of a document within style tags
Thx I didn’t know that.
Can we be clear what theme/buddypress/css/ refers to is this a reference to the core BP plugin or is this a BP ready theme that you are running a child theme from?
Cover image styles are loaded as ’embedded’ ( styles written to the head of a document within style tags) styles so not a mystery 🙂
Hello,
The profile cover image of my users disapear as soon as I copy the file buddypress.css from my theme/buddypress/css to my-child-theme/buddypress/css folder. Problem is the same whatever I copy the all directory structure.
I deactivated all my plugins except BP but the problem remains.
I supposed it is a problem with Javascript so I copy theme/buddypress/js folder to my child theme but still the image is not displayed.
When cover image is properly loaded this is what I have :
1./ CSS that display the image from a mystery inline file (line 74) :
body.buddypress div#item-header {
background-image: url("http://mysite.fr/wp-content/uploads/buddypress/members/1/cover-image/82b87ae9117b8a803c8a0da2af4ffbb2-bp-cover-image.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center center !important;
}
2./ CSS related to #item-header in buddypress.css :
.buddypress div#item-header {
background: transparent url("../../assets/img/heading.png") repeat-x scroll 0px 115px;
text-align: center;
transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out 0s;
position: relative;
padding-top: 40px;
padding-bottom: 40px;
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
}
These two sections of CSS code are not executed as soon as I copy the file buddypress.css into my child theme directory. What could be the reason for this ? Thank you
Hello,
Its a theme or buddypress problem ?
Hi, I also get this issue. We have random 404s that are difficult to recreate when trying to debug the problem, but occur randomly when users user the site. It is on non buddypress pages, and once a user gets a 404, non buddy press pages all 404 for a brief period. we have tried everything – disabling all persistent caches, changing themes, clearing caches, event switching hosting from linux to windows.
if anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
Hi,
I’ve created a welcome page on a WP page for my BuddyPress site as i didn’t want the activity page or homepage to be used by default. I have the icons i need, however i need to be able to create some dynamic links to user specific pages like Profile, groups, messages etc.
By searching i could only come across ways to add these items to a menu (which i’ve already done), however on certain pages i’d like to have links to those BP pages too. Can someone please help me how to do this?
Any other post seemed to link to plugins that have gone 2-3 years without updates which id’ be hesitant to use given all the updates that have happened to BP since.
Thanks in advance.
WP 4.4.1, Theme: Kleo.
@hnla Hi Hugo, thanks for your feedback.
I’ve updated the Stack Exchange question to better reflect what I’m looking to do. I also updated the answer with a second link to the Buddypress codex for those looking to do less specific Buddypress theming. Additionally, I added a disclaimer saying it is not the recommended method. Without any specific mistakes pointed out that’s about the best I can do for now.
As for removing it, I’m sure it will be put on hold soon enough, seems they don’t like Buddypress (third party plugin) questions over there.
Until then the answer solves my question and I can see it being useful for people looking to heavily customize things, I myself have been referring to it constantly. I would have been ecstatic to have found something like it 3 weeks ago when I began working on a buddypress theme.
Of course, my being a noob means that answer will not be perfect. I will however keep it updated as I learn more and if there’s someone willing to better answer it I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only appreciative one.
Apologies for hijacking this thread, wasn’t sure where better to reply.
Hello,
I would like to have a suggestion on the best way to add a payment section to buddypress registration form on my website.
I would like that a new user who registers himself on buddypress section,have to pay a fee.
I want a new section of payment via Ccard in buddypress register form.
Thanks
@hastig While it is genuinely appreciated that you are trying to help people, some of what you are describing as template files is a little confused and will mislead people into thinking they have to use the advanced taxonomy template hierarchy which isn’t necessarily the case.
I’d urge you check our codex pages again to best understand how overloading files works.
The stackoverflow page would be better removed or at least edited to better reflect how the BP template hierarchy works.

Hi @mjc82in Please provide more information about your installation so that we can help you find out how to resolve your issue. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/
This plugin may be of help to you..
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/
This plugin add more fields type to Buddypress extension: Xprofile. The fields type added are: Birthdate.. Image.. Number within min/max values..
You can post on the jobs forum.
Be sure to include some method of contacting you.
That’d work too. Thinking you’d need to reword it but that can be done through localisation. Ref: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/
I don’t know which theme you’re using so I can only offer some basic, general css advice.
The numbers are in a table column, each number is in a table cell. In the html the table cell is written as <td>
I’m not sure if you can or will want to remove the numbers column entirely, there may be some buddypress inserted code in there (#id’s, etc) that helps identify each row <tr> for a buddypress function.
What you can do is make that column narrower or possibly hide it from displaying on screen while keeping the (possibly) important code in place.
With Firefox or Chrome right click on a cell and choose ‘inspect element’.
This will show you the html code in that area.
You want to find the cell <td> that wraps around the numbers then identify its class. There may be a couple of different classes in each <td> that buddypress inserts.
To help find which class you want to work with add a background-color: red; to different classes til you find the right one that applies to all cells in the column.
(if you cant find a class that applies to only the numbers column you will need to get into a little more complex css using nth and similar methods)
Once you find the right one open your themes style.css file and place on the bottom of it the class with your new styles.
Try something like ..
.className {visibility: hidden;} to hide it
or
.className {width: 10%;} to adjust it’s width relative to the overall width. (would want to adjust the other columns cell widths to compensate. may also be some other elements within the cell with their own widths set.)
There are numerous ways to target those cells for styling and different things that may prevent the above ideas from working but I’d better leave it at that for now.
Thanks Henry! That was a good idea, and I actually found a group calendar on WPMUDev for BuddyPress groups. I forgot to add one important feature, however. We need multi-day events! Now that I look at it laid out like below, I am wondering if a project manager plugin that has a timeline might be a better solution????
Family 1: 3/1-14
Family 2: 3/1-10
Family 3: 3/5-10

@shanebp
I wish the simple way worked for me, nothing shows up if I use your method and it’s probably due to my fundamental misunderstanding of theming buddypress.
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-php-what-needs-to-be-in-it/
@wp_new_user
Keep it simple.
For example, to overload this file:
/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php
Copy it to here:
/yourtheme/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php
and make your changes.
Thanks Hastig for getting back to me. I’ve received a response from the Google Webmaster Product Forums that this is not a Buddypress issue but a Google Analytics content experiments issue. Have fixed the problem!
Thanks for your help nonetheless!
Cheers,
Hoi-Sze
@rlfstars So did you build the website yourself? If you did you should sort of be able to retrace some of the steps you took before Buddypress suddenly quit as you have described, can you explain what you mean a little better about Buddypress suddenly quiting? do you mean certain parts of Buddypress stopped working or didn’t work as it was before? or do you mean Buddypress somehow got deactivated? there must of been something that triggered what you are describing for it to happen in the first place, I am just finding it very strange the way you are describing Buddypress as suddenly quiting.
First off, try to ask yourself a few of these questions below and think back:
Did you install any new plugins after you had set Buddypress up and had it working?
Did you by any chance have Buddypress working with your current theme and plugin configuration or was it all working correctly when it was on another theme?
How much memory does your wordpress install have allocated to it?
Did you do a WordPress version update recently? the newer versions of WordPress since 4.0 are known to have broke quite a few older plugins that are outdated or don’t have much support. maybe this could be causing a clash…I dunno?
I know your site is live and you don’t want to mess things up and maybe you are worried about deactivating some of your plugins, but have you yet tried deactivating plugins one at a time and then with each deactivation tried to reactivate Buddypress?
In future it may be better for you to also have some form of testing environment too (preferably a local install), this will allow you to test as many different plugins/theme combinations and tweak things such as combining scripts etc before doing the changes to your live website. (This will ensure everything works how it should and nothing is broken). Also please note, I would not recommend you diving into the combining of JS and CSS files etc on a live site as you can often break things and it can be trial and error to get right depending on what plugins/features you are using (this is also a different issue than what you have, I only mentioned it to give you an heads up on the shear amount that your website loads on a per page basis whilst I was looking at your source).
Other than the above steps it really is hard to help out any more from this end without being able to check it out pal. Like shane said maybe you need to hire someone in to take a look at it all.
Just an idea: if you have no success finding a shared BuddyPress calendar, try searching for shared WordPress calendar. In BuddyPress, members are actually WordPress users so in theory things should work. You’ll need to test though, as always.
mcpeanut,thank you for your observations and insights. Buddypress was working fine, and then suddenly quit. i tried reactivating, but each time, it would crash the dashboard of wordpress. i had go daddy walk me through resetting it. since i couldnt get bp to work, i found peepso as a quick fix so that something was there. but i lost all the posts, groups etc.
i’m looking for a “web dude” lol, whose coding acumen can weave together the vision i have.
i’ll look into your suggestions based on the yslow report.
i don’t know how to do much of this, but am willing to learn.
thank you.
@rlfstars Hi mate, like shane has already mentioned, it would be really hard for anyone to troubleshoot this for you without having access to your account, you said you are the owner and not the ‘web dude’, so the question is why don’t you approach the ‘web dude’ who built the site for you to try take a look at it?
If you cannot get help from the ‘web dude’ then it may be worth doing some troubleshooting for yourself, what kind of hosting solution is your account using via godaddy? is it shared hosting with limited capabilities and server access? it could well be a memory issue and lack of resources if this is the case, because if you have over 300k users and 200k pending you must be getting lots of traffic and maybe its time for you to upgrade to either a VPS or dedicated server where you have full control over your resource allocation.
It could also be a plugin conflict, but like shane said without access no-one but you can really troubleshoot the cause.
Viewing your source code just now and analysing the page with yslow I can see you have some serious amount of JS and CSS loading on each page and I’m a little confused, you seem to be using another social networking plugin called peepso, have you uninstalled buddypress and are now using peepso? Or have you been trying to use these two plugins together at some point? To me this could cause allsorts of mixed results no doubt.
This is your yslow report and is an insane amount of scripts to be loading on any one page without doing some tweaking and combining of files.
This page has 75 external Javascript scripts. Try combining them into one.
This page has 37 external stylesheets. Try combining them into one.
This page has 18 external background images. Try combining them with CSS sprites.
Anyhows which ever way you decide to go all the best mate and hope you sort it out.
WordPress Version: 4.4.1
BuddyPress Version: 2.4.3.
Site link: still building it offline
For the website I’m working on I’ve chosen to go with WooThemes Canvas. It has turned out that some features of BuddyPress don’t work with the theme, but I do not know why. As I’m not familiar with coding, I’ll try to explain as good as possible.
Problem: in the BuddyPress group forums the forum title and topic title aren’t displayed. The links itself are there, but the text isn’t rendered. When inspecting in Chrome I can see the link is there, but the topic title between the <a> tags isn’t there.
What I assume is this line of code in loop-single-topic.php
<a class="bbp-topic-permalink" href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title(); ?></a>
shows as:
<a class="bbp-topic-permalink" href="http://mysite.com/community/groups/admins/forum/topic/instructions/"></a>
When I switch to one of the default WordPress theme it shows just fine.
I can add that another plugin (MyCred) that is supposed to show additional information in the BuddyPress profile header doesn’t perform what it’s supposed to do. Again when switching to a default theme it works.
Is the theme just incompatible and that’s that? Or are there steps I can take to get to the bottom of the issue?
I have the Buddypress Custom Profile Menu setup, what I want to happen, is when a user goes to their OWN profile, I want the default tab to be the friends activity tab(Since it’s useless to look at their own information when they go to the profile),
Onto more complicated things,
is there anyway to merge the personal activity tab and the profile tab so that they are the same tab? And then make this tab the default for when someone visits someone ELSE’S profile?
I think this would streamline engagement.
last, this is just something we used to have on an old platform that we miss, it would be awesome if we could find a way to get it here, in the upper right of all profile tabs, would it be possible to have a link to the members section of the site saying something like this,
“Browse all members (Current number of members)”
I understand if the last ones ot feasibly possible without hiring someone, can the first two be accomplished?
Hi,
I have been having this error for couple of months or more, have narrowed it down to being a buddypress error.
Error is
Whenever somebody posts comments, the comments go through (i.e it does get posted)
But as soon as user hits post button, it thinks for a min and gets forwarded to an error page(sometimes show duplicate comment).
Any idea to solve, This is becoming a very serious issue, have been talking with Automattic as well. Can somebody help me resolve this.
Thanks
Manoj
