Looking at the Chrome source code ( f12 ) I can see something has gone wrong, as most of the header has dropped to the body section and instead an old version of jquery has been added as well as the current version added later. This is bound to cause problems.

The only other thing there is shareaholic-analytics.js being loaded. Does the same thing happen if you disable that plugin?

If not then you need to do basic troubleshooting such as checking with bp default theme or a known good theme such as twentytwelve. If that doesn’t work try disabling all plugins except buddypress and see if the error goes away, then re-enabling 1 by 1 until the problem occurs.

Have you checked the Codex Documentation ? I suggest you read the guides on theme templates as these will help your understanding and allow you to ask more detailed questions that we can help with.

I created the the buddypress-pages on full width and also changed the template-page in WordPress, but Buddypress is still using the standard-template. Someone knows the Problem?

I assume you mean the pages created in the setup routine for BP such as ‘activity’, ‘members’ etc these are placeholders only you can not do anything in them except set the page title.

‘<i>changed the template-page in WordPress</i>’
You need to be clearer on what you mean here!

‘<i>standard template</i>’
Again not sure to what you are referring here, BP in theme compatibility mode uses page.php, unless you provide other named templates but this is all explained in the template compatibility themeing guides written for users to help them out with just this sort of issue.

As for the loader gif it’s impossible to say, you haven’t told us the theme in use, linked to the site, or shown any code to work from thus it’s a complete guess as to what may be happening.

As always if there are issues first test is activate known good theme such as twentytwelve and see if things work in that theme then you know it’s a theme issue.

@jackreichert your a bloody genius Mr Jacoby, buddyPress just gets better & then some, thanks you mate!

Do you mind if I include your code in my “n00bish” wp plugin:

function redirect2profile(){
include_once( ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/plugin.php’ );
if($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] == ‘/profile/’ && is_plugin_active(‘buddypress/bp-loader.php’) && is_user_logged_in()){
global $current_user;
wp_redirect( get_bloginfo(‘url’) . ‘/members/’. $current_user->user_login . ‘/profile/’);
exit();
}
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘redirect2profile’);

I’m just beginning my journey into php & I’ve always wanted to write a toolbox for wp and buddy, you gotta start somewhere : )

PS:Do I credit you in the plugin as a contributor?

We’ve used WP FB Autoconnect on a lot of BuddyPress sites – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect/

There’s a functional free version, and just a few dollars extra for the pro version

While this may not fall into your category of ~$20, it seems like the best one that I’ve seen — if these are the types of features you need. It’s $30 for a membership, but you get access to all of the plugins on the site.

BuddyPress Facebook Connect+ – Discontinued

I cannot personally vouch for it, as I’ve never tried it. Seeing that it has the ability to import all sorts of Facebook data into your own BP fields looks great, though.

I use WordPress Social Login successfully for my BuddyPress site – free from the repo

It turned out to be an issue with my theme and not Buddypress. Even though the latest version of WordPress 3.6 is theme compatible, the Buddypress to Suffusion theme still required the Suffusion Buddypress Pack plugin and a child theme to make it work.
All fixed here.

Chrome works for me….

@benjancewicz

There are no ‘future events’ in buddypress itself so it would need a plugin or custom programming…..

https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/ supports buddypress but I haven’t used them together!

I am having the same problem. I am using Suffusion theme with the latest Buddypress 1.8.1 and WordPress 3.6. Specifically Widget Logic no longer works with Buddypress. When I uninstall Buddypress it works fine but when I reinstall the latest Buddypress the Widget logic no longer works.
I am ok to switch to a different plugin to control widget display if someone has tested one that works with the latest Buddypress.

Here’s what some BP Core Team members already said about scalability

Yes, I think one of the BP core developers worked at The Telegraph before his move to Automattic.

I would guess the number of active users should be the main metric to use. A site with 1m inactive users will test just how much data the server can hold whereas a site with 1m active users will test so much more.

See this response I found on Quora from @jjj:

Sounds like you are using an old / outdated plugin with a recent version of BuddyPress.

Looks like called wp-cache might be the problem — see if this link helps you https://wordpress.org/support/topic/advanced-cachephp-problems-on-upgrade

Line 1447 of the buddypress file global.js relates to the comments section….

see:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js?rev=7349#L1447
That line has changed from previous versions….

A simple google search with part of the 2nd line lead me to:

You’ll need to know the user_id for the teacher.

Then check the array for that id. If it’s found, remove it.

And tell the student why, something like:

bp_core_add_message( __( 'You cannot send a private message to the teacher.', 'buddypress' ), 'error' );

Do you know how to use filters?

Take a look at function send() in
\buddypress\bp-messages\bp-messages-classes.php

It has lots of filters.
I’d use the do_action_ref_array

I’m getting this same exact error as well, using the latest installs of WordPress, Buddypress and BBpress.

Anyone know how to fix it? Or rather… get it working? 🙂

Hello everyone, I have got a fix for this. Are you using WordPress SEO by Yoast? If you are using this plugin, go to Permalinks, and uncheck redirect ugly url to clean ones. That will fix the problem for you. It fixed mine! This note is from the plugin author: People make mistakes in their links towards you sometimes, or unwanted parameters are added to the end of your URLs, this allows you to redirect them all away. Please note that while this is a feature that is actively maintained, it is known to break several plugins, and should for that reason be the first feature you disable when you encounter issues after installing this plugin.

The BuddyPress team should be able to give you a better answer, but one thing I came across while deciding about whether to use BP or not was that in the UK the Daily Telegraph’s user section is based on a custom version of BuddyPress and, a year or so ago, was reported to have around 150,000 users, which at the time was thought to make it the biggest site in terms of active users.

Since then BuddyPress 1.7 re-engineered queries to make them much faster when working with large DBs.

I would have thought that if you get to a position where you are pushing the boundaries of what BuddyPress (and WordPress) are capable of, you should have the resources to invest in optimisation/customisation as required.

All this assuming, of course, you are doing everything else possible to improve performance and are not running your mega-site on some cheap shared hosting plan.
