BuddyPress.org

@tayenewm there is a good chance this is down to your theme so reinstalling BuddyPress is most probably unnecessary.

If the developer has modified any of the markup in members-loop.php then there is a good chance the modifications are what has broken the sort feature. The sort feature is dependent on certain page elements so if any class names or IDs have been changed or removed then that will be the source of your problem.

As @hnla said, the way to resolve the issue is to revert to the default theme and work backwards, eliminating each customisation the developer has made as the source of the problem.

Can you get into the site with ftp or a file navigator/explorer in your web hosting control panel?

Navigate to /wp-content/plugins/bp-group-tinychat-pro-1.2.1/ then delete or rename the /bp-group-tinychat-pro-1.2.1/ folder.

This should cause WordPress to de-activate the plugin.

Hi I have the same problem at my site
I have WP 3.7.1 and BP 1.8.1 on sigle site instalation.

I can login to WP admin page, but I cant login as a user of buddypress (default theme).

Can you help me with this problem?

I keep thinking about this issue, mostly because it “bugs me” to change core files in a major plugin like BuddyPress. I opened a ticket at the recommended location and I can find no record of it so it has most likely been closed.

My question for the group here is this. Would the above modification applied to bp-custom.php overried the core template? If so, can someone tell me what to unhook and re-hook to make that work?

Thanks, in advance, for any replies that are helpful.

Take a look at bp_core_remove_subnav_item()

Or do a template over-ride of this file and put a message to the member in it.
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\profile\change-avatar.php

Have you followed @shanebp advice? it’s important to establish the cause of this and that means as suggested starting to look through your server log files – essentially all the answers you need or at least the clues to where to look further will be in log files. We can’t do this for you or provide much more by way of help until that’s done as well as ensuring you have performed a deactivation of all plugins to try and narrow things down.

As for this being a BP issue it’s not, BP does not have an issue like this it’s something doing this that interacts with BP.

Removing files at this point isn’t advisable, it’s curing the symptoms not the disease, however if it prevents the server crash in the shorterm while you investigate the true cause of this then go ahead but with the proviso that the root cause must be established and dealt with.

getting a freelancer from the buddypress/wordpress job board or odesk to do this would cost little (my guess $50-65) as long as you know exactly what you want done

@mercime, thank you for your help in trying to resolve this. I’m using WordPress 3.7.1 on a single site install with BuddyPress 1.8.1. I’m running WP in a root domain on a VPS. I’ve disabled all plugins except for BuddyPress. The first time I try to login via the sidebar it fails with the cookies error I referenced previously, and then prompts me to login via the center WP login panel. If I then try to log in there, or hit the back button and try again at the side panel, it logs in just fine.

@willandmae sorry, we prefer to keep the conversation here. As mentioned above, you can always delete or disable the throw-away account when the issue is resolved if not by me, by some other forum volunteer.

@willandmae Cleared cookies after I logged out. I log in using sidebar log in form easily. Something else is causing the issue with your log in.

Have you tried deactivating other plugins one by one as I mentioned above to identify possible conflict? I’d start off by deactivating BAW Login/Logout menu, clearing cache and then try to log in via sidebar form. You could also provide us with a throw-away username and password so we can check from our end. You can delete that throwaway account when you resolve the issue.

@rameshkanakambr the Activity Plus plugin is specifically for the activity stream pages. Best place to get support for additional functions is at the plugin’s suppoprt forum at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-activity-plus
