I first installed BuddyPress on our site a couple years ago and all worked as expected. However, it was decided we wouldn’t pursue BuddyPress as part of our solution at the time. Earlier this year, we decided to re-instate it, which is when I noticed this new behavior…
There have been a lot of updates in WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress during this time, so I’m guessing something somewhere along the line, but may not have been addressed yet. I haven’t found any fixes online for it, which is why I have posted here.
Just to clarify, HIDDEN FORUMS appear for Keymasters and Moderators, but not to members of them who haven’t been assigned to either of these roles. They can, however, access the forum if they have the URL for it. So, at the moment, I am having to make all members of hidden forums be moderators in order to keep my site navigation clean.
Perhaps @bphelp could shed some light?
Sorry but your pasted code is wrong.
See source.

@henrywright can you help out please ?
Hi,
I’m using GeoDirectory plugin with BuddyPress. I have created a child theme for GeoDirectory Framework theme, which is working fine. I’m trying to modify the member page– I have copied home.php file from “single” directory to “community” directory I created in my child theme directory. I tested if the copied theme was overriding the original template by adding “text” to the top of the file, but it doesn’t show up. But if I add that to the original home.php, it does show up.
I’m using the most recent versions of WordPress and BuddyPress.
I’d appreciate your help.
Jaeeun
I’m using: WordPress 4.1.2, BuddyPress 2.2.3.1, SelfHelp.on.ca
Ran into an obstacle. I am at the step of installing Group & Sitewide Forums. No. 7 of the instruction has me stuck. I stopped after adding the Forums page with the code in it to, to the menu. There is a picture to the right of the instruction depicting how step 7 should go, but I don’t ever see that screen when I try to do step 7. I even tried adding a new page called Group Forums and I don’t even see the option to change from ‘forum’ to ‘category’. See instructions below
• Create a new Forum as the “parent forum” for all of your Group Forums.
• Go to Forums > Add New
• Add Title, e.g. Group Forums
• Change Forum Attribute Type from “Forum” to “Category”
The avatars only works when I’m in BuddyPress pages.
I want to make it work around the site by adding the following code passing the user ID I found searching for:
<? php
$ Userid = bp_loggedin_user_id ();
echo bp_core_fetch_avatar (array ('item_id' => $ id user));
?>
But in which .phpeu add file this code?
Please, don’t double post. Answers are not coming faster by doing this. Thx.

Hi, I would like to have a message on the homepage saying, “Your account is now activated. Please login here” when a user clicks on the activation link. Does anyone know how this would be implemented?
Have searched but not found anything of use. Thanks

Homepage:
Members area:
Your homepage contains an error:
ob_end_flush(): failed to send buffer of zlib output compression (1) in ../../wp-includes/functions.php on line 3269
Which kind of avatar should appear on the homepage ? It’s the default blog page and there is no avatar on this page.
You have to setup buddypress correctly at first before trying to modify your site.
Check that any BP component has his page and setup pretty permalinks.
Configure BuddyPress
Hi There …
I’m noticing this too – But I’m new to Buddypress, has this always been the case?
Crucially, I think someone who is a member of a group, should see the forums/topics from the group forums they are members of on the Forum Index.
‘Hidden’ should only apply to non-members
Does anyone know if this is correct behaviour/ how it’s always been?
Thanks
Here is the link to my site:
http://hsseek2.esy.es/
you can log in and see:
username: test
password: test
Avatars not appear on pages outside of BuddyPress, as the home page for example. In BuddyPress pages appear in the web page does not appear.
The profile name is ranking, used the gender variable because adapted from another code and not changed.
My theme is Twnty Fifteen
OK.
Have you setup pretty permalinks to something other as “default” ?
When BP is setup correctly, activities and members directory should be (by default), your-site/members/ and your-site/activities/
You actually have your-site/?page_id=5 for activities.
Check that you assigned a page to any activated BP component – ensure also they exist in page directory. These page should be blank and without any parent template or model. Just a title, nothing else.
More setup details on Codex.
Yes, it’s a knowed bbPress bug (at least 2 mounth ago). But bbPress was updated since… So i guess it’s also related to your theme and the way he calls page…
See here please, and apply the patch. (if not already in latest bbp ?)
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/weird-error-after-updating-buddypress/#post-234299
Activate first 2015 or 2013 while testing, so you will be sure it’s your theme in case of the test is successfull. And also all other plugins except BP and bbP.
I used this code in function.php:
wpse_49216_my_new_avatar_url function () {
$gender = xprofile_get_field_data ('ranking', bp_get_member_user_id ());
if ($gender == "Top 25") {
return 'http://hsseek2.esy.es/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/25.png';
}
if ($gender == "Top 24") {
return 'http://hsseek2.esy.es/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/24.png';
}
}
add_filter ('bp_core_fetch_avatar_url', 'wpse_49216_my_new_avatar_url');
function wpse_49216_filter_bp_avatar ($html) {
return preg_replace ('/src=".+?"/', 'src =' 'wpse_49216_my_new_avatar_url ()..' "', $ html);
}
add_filter ('bp_core_fetch_avatar', 'wpse_49216_filter_bp_avatar');
The avatar will not appear outside buddypress page, on any other page it appears. I read on the internet that I must pass the id of the User with bp_loggedin_user_id (). How do I implement this in my code?
Thanks so much Dan, at least know I know where to look for!
Activated debug, it seems like there is a conflict with bbpress, correct?
Strict Standards: Declaration of BBP_Forums_Group_Extension::display() should be compatible with BP_Group_Extension::display($group_id = NULL) in /home7/ealthblo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/groups.php on line 28
Sure thing, let me get all the info (warning, I am mildly tech savvy, so sometimes I struggle a bit to do get onto more elaborate tasks – eh!)

I am afraid that things like local install will require a bit of learning on my side, but point taken I’ll make a note to have a look into it 🙂
The page just misses the BP part.
Really dummy question, how do I go about enabling wp_debug in wp-config?
Do I have to go through my cPanel through my hosting?
Don’t panic ! Something went wrong after WP update. OK.
And two BP pages are now blank.
But at this time, it’s difficult to tell you what happened to your install.
Can you provide a site URL ? And a list of all your activated plugins ?
It’s also a good practice to have a local install, mirrored to your production site, where you can make some test. This is particulary usefull in situation like yours.
When you’re on group and members page, is the screen blank or only missing the BP part ?
Please enable wp_debug in wp-config, and see if you get some error mesaage ?
FYI, here a similar discussion, so you can have a little overview about page issues.
Hi @edutech2015,
depends your theme, and needs preferably the usage of a child-thme.
the forum plugin is bbPress. This plugin use the same technique as BuddyPress to adjust CSS.
See bbPress documentation here.
And follow for BP from here.
Hi Dan,
I tried all the above, and nothing seems to be working. Now, as you will understand for ‘BuddyPress Support’ Theme I find it odd to have such a big bug after having re-activated and everything. I am resistant at completely reinstalling unless it’s the last straw, but I am also quite demotivated as the theme just sent me this answer:
“This is not a theme issue, as you have updated only the wordpress. Also updating wordpress will not delete any records in your DB. Please contact buddpress support team regarding the issue.”
Hence, it’s not them or the theme, but it’s something within BuddyPress. I’d rather not have to change plugin options with 400+ users on my platform, as I really like the flexibility BuddyPress gives me. Hope you understand.
Best,
Fab
Hi,
I am quite new to wordpress and buddypress. I have installed WP 4.2.1 and BP 2.2.3.1 on a subdomain. I have also installed the buddyboss theme. When users click to register i get a “internal server error”
I have tried deactivating the Buddyboss theme but this error still occurs. But when i deactivate Buddypress users can register with no issues at all. I can also create users from wp-admin without any issues.

Thanks in advance
I want to avoid my users from sending private messages with html codes.
Currently, users can send html tags such as <a> and <span> and receivers of
messages receive them as html tag.
All I want to know is a way to display messages as they are typed.
@caniwigirl
I personally would choose to add it to bp-custom.php this is the best approach in case you decide to change themes down the road because if you place it in your themes functions.php or in a child theme of that themes functions.php then you will loose that functionality if you do change themes. The bp-custom.php acts more or less as a plugin independent from the theme you may use. Good luck!
Hi All…
Looking for recommendations for both group chat and video chat that will work well with BuddyPress. For group chat one key feature is the ability for chats to be saved preferably on server and accessible by people in charge of groups/forums. We’re going to be using the social network as a development platform for the Planet Earthlings project and we want to be able to document all chats.
Thanks,
Greg

you have to add a scope in bp_get_stuff function.
if ( bp_has_activities( $activity_id . '&scope=favorites,mentions&max=5' ) ) :
Thought you have to uncomment some of array values too. (component and item_id)
Reference: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/loops-reference/the-activity-stream-loop/
Hi all,
I’m attempting to have nav tabs in the standard buddybar that displays the feed/loop for Favorites and Mentions, as seen in the pic on this page:
Activity dropdown filters in templates
1. I’ve managed to duplicate the activity loop on a tab with the code below, but the CSS is wrong. I’ve fiddled with the code a little as it was originally setup for blog posts and i think this is the reason the CSS i’ve written for activity loop isn’t being called. Is the hook my_profile_post() where the issue lies?
2. I’m fine with setting up the navs and subnavs as desired, but I’m still being unsuccessful in loading a user favorites and user mentions feed/loop (want to duplicate what is shown on the subnav tabs under the default activity tab). Looked through the Buddypress code files and found and tried various things but none have worked. Any help/directions?
