BuddyPress.org

@mbonner considering it’s a brand new site then root profiles will be disabled (that is the default) so it can’t be related to that problem.

Try updating BP to 1.9.2 (released yesterday) and deactivate WooCommerce. There shouldn’t be any conflict with bbPress and BuddyPress. However, WooCommerce is third party so there might be a conflict there.

I’m going to post this thread in BuddyPress forums to see if they are aware of what’s going on but any help here would be greatly appreciated.

This is the BuddyPress forum?

Regarding root profiles, there may be a problem with certain logic working in 1.9.2 if root profiles are enabled. Root profiles are enabled if your links look like this:

example.com/username

rather than:

example.com/members/username

>What is version 1.9.2 supposed to fix anyway? I could not find any documentation
There’s very clear documentation, right there on the main blog!

If you want help, you’ll need to provide as much detailed info as possible on your setup, in particular your theme in use and it’s approach to working with BP.

Hello I BuddyPress is gone now I only have 2 blank pages in the network and groups http://fanphone.altervista.org page “attività and groups”

Are you using root profiles?

Your problem may be related to a change which went live in 1.9.2. Have a read this ticket from comment 10 onwards:

Maybe this will help?

I finally got down to make a ticket out of it, if people have similar problems: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5372

I’ve created a ticket here now, for those with similar issues like me: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5372

check out the following page towards the bottom:

Is there any help for this? Other topics on the subject are 3-4 years old and refer to obsolete plugins. BuddyPress completes the First Name field just great, but a field named Last Name does not map through. Is there a solution please?

They don’t exist until you create them.

🙂 I’ll go and fish out all the codex guides that have been written on the subject of templating/themeing

Also remember you can use conditional logic to wrap the sidebar in your bp template so if you wanted the sidebar just for user account screens you could do:

`
if( bp_is_user() ) :

endif;
`

The two guides to read are:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

Template Hierarchy

@hnla hi again hugo i think it might be better if i tell you exactly why i want to use the bp-default theme, you know when someone creates a new post when using the bp-default theme and next to that post it shows the users avatar and a link with there name? well when you click there name it takes you straight to that users activity/profile , well i really need that as part of my theme and i dont know how to recreate it in another theme otherwise i would implement it in my own theme, i have attached an image below so you can see what i mean, this gives you an idea of what i need my buddypress to work like, this is the most important thing i need from using bp-default. it may explain to you why im so keen to use bp-default

@hnla ok ty again hugo for responding, still figuring this out, so your saying if i copy all of the above files and add this code to my functions.php i can then run my child theme as a full theme and edit it to my hearts content without worrying about future updates of buddypress effecting my theme??

also just to clarify that i will be copying the correct folders over i need to ask if i am copying the correct folders with all the files needed via ftp, so if i ftp and go to wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/ i then come to a folder called bp-legacy is this the folder i should copy and add to my chid theme or should i copy the folders or files within this folder as it contains all the files above you mentioned, then i would add a functions.php to my child theme and add the code you gave? am i correct?
im sorry if this is a pain for you to explain to me, its just i am intent on learning all this stuff and unless i get this bit right first i wont be able to progress, i am one of those people who finds it easier to sit and learn things visually in the sense that if i see it done once it all becomes clear to me, everything i learn the majority of the time is through video tuts.

i do read alot too but sometimes get stuck picturing exactly what is being explained, if you remember a while back when i had a problem removing my header from buddypress pages only i knew what it was i should of been doing and had the right idea of where i should of been doing it but couldn’t visualise it until modemlooper helped me see it clearly, then it just clicked and i went and did it because of his help, my stronger points you see are css and design and as long as i can get this bit right to start working on my theme and researching what functions etc i want to change in my theme i cant change anything 🙂

Hi!

I have WordPress 3.8.1 and Buddypress 1.8.1.

I had the same issue above where the notifications menu shows up twice.

This was with WordPress 3.8 and when I updated to Buddypress 1.9.1.

I went back to Buddypress 1.8.1 after this.

I haven’t tried it again since I updated to WordPress 3.8.1…

Perhaps I should??

Also, Buddy theme, but not updated recently as have modified the original theme a bit.

Hello !
Actually, if you don’t have a child theme, the only thing you should do is update your buddypress for 1.9.1… I guess !
Now I didn’t experience your particular situation, I can’t be sure.

What are your versions (BP and WP) and what is your theme ?
