please read the post above, they are/were having the same problem that I am having. Thanks.
Wow! Thanks for the incredibly thorough response.
This is indeed my first experience with BuddyPress, but not my first wordpress experience. In the past I have always worked with a designer / coder to create a custom experience but on wordpress. But the sophistication of today’s themes trumps what we’ve been doing.
I do have a question for you. What do you mean by:
I would suggest use 2012 or 2015 during the period you build the project.
??
Thanks!

Dan, I do think you are getting what my problem is. When I activate buddypress something is creating these pages with no titles, I will leave it for an hour and come back and have 50 pages with no titles and I am not creating these pages. If I deactivate buddypress the page creating stops. Do you see what I am saying? Those 36 pages that are in trash are all pages with no titles that I didn’t create, something is creating them. And this was after the buddypress update.
Do you see the pages with no titles, something is making them and its not me? That is what is happening after upgrading buddypress, but when I deactivate it this no pages are being created.
Problem is see is the green toolbar, containing wrong links, ie: profile button goes to your-site/members/admin/profile/ and your premium theme, for which we can’t help you, because we have no free access to it’s code.
Revert to 2015 theme and deactivate all plugins except BP.
Make it to work correctly. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/
Set pretty permalinks to what you want, except “by default”.
Ensure you have the Buddy menu showing on 2015. You should see at least: activity, members, groups. Test them and ensure you go to the right page.
On the top right Howdy menu, you should have all BP elements concerning your profile (friends, messages, notifications…), of course only if you activated these components.
Once it is working with 2015, you can activate your theme.
At this stage you will probably see some layout issues and will have to do some CSS adjustment.
Contact theme’s support to get help for that.
Sorry, but we are unable to help you with premium theme issues, as we have no free access to it.
Ask your theme support.
If you’re comfortable with HTML and CSS you can check page.php from one of WP’s default theme and compare to your theme page.php to get some of the custom div’s class or ID’s it use, so you can adjust them from inside of a child-theme.

Hi,
I updated buddypress 2 days ago and after that pages in my admin section are being produced by them self, sometimes the author is a registar. When I disable the buddypress plug in, this stops. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks for the help.
Re comment syncing: unfortunately, comment syncing is broken in BP 2.2.1 for custom post types.
See tickets 6306 and 6294 for more info.
Got a chance to revisit this…
Both versions are now components.
BuddyPress Simple Events in the WP repo.
BuddyPress Simple Events Pro now has options for an Attending button, list of attendees, and notifications. As well as image support and Group assignment options.
Re themes: the templates have been tested with included WP themes. If there is an issue with a particular theme, the templates can be overloaded and adjusted as necessary. The layouts are bare-bones, iow. very basic layouts.
Hi.
I am also using wordpress 4.1.1 and buddypress 2.2.1 and for all pages, which I need to map via the settings page I am getting a blank page: Groups, Members, Register and Activate. I am using the default theme. It is a multi-site setup, however buddypress is only used on the main site (first blog) and also only there activated.
I did only minor styling via the themes css and the header.php.
WP_Debug does not show any errors as well as the Apache log is empty.
It was working fine until i updated recently the connected bbpress for forum.
Besides that I am using following plugins:
bbP private groups
bbPress
bbPress Advanced Capabilities
BP Registration Options (DEACTIVATED CURRENTLY)
BuddyPress
BuddyPress Group Email Subscription
BuddyPress Like (DEACTIVATED CURRENTLY)
BuddyPress Multilingual
HookPress (DEACTIVATED CURRENTLY)
Nginx Helper (only on staging)
Page Builder by SiteOrigin (DEACTIVATED CURRENTLY)
Paid Memberships Pro
Paid Memberships Pro – bbPress Add On
Paid Memberships Pro – Register Helper Add On
Social Login
Network activated:
WordPress SEO
WPML Multilingual CMS
WPML String Translation
Events Manager
My dev environment is XAMPP on Mac and on the staging is a linode cloud server with Ubuntu on Nginx (I think). Both have the same issues.
It’s not a live site yet, just demo, therefore some of the plugins might get activated if I am back on track.
Tried it now to get it run for about 15 hours:
– I also deactivated all plugins except buddypress and still did not get any of those sites working.
– Actiavated / Deactivated the plugins
– Used the repair tools
– looked into all my codes and fixed file endings such as empty space after ?> in php files
– Reassigned all sites
– Researched a lot in million of forums
Any hint, idea, glimps or full stack solution is highly appreciated.
Thanks, Chris
Hi @itkid
Does buddypress support markdown?
Not currently. A markdown plugin would be great for BuddyPress activity posts and comments, private messages and so on, but to my knowledge there isn’t one available right now.
Is there a plugin or anything to enable markdown for buddypress?
I learned about a bbpress plugin doing a similar thing: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/integrate-with-jetpack-markdown/ ,so can we make it happen with buddypress? I mean, in groups, events and so on.
Add a post/page using your already created CPT to profile needs to add a tab and to handle some conditionnals for allowed usres to see it.
Here some related topics where you can see how you could do it. Note that it doesn’t explain how to made a CPT and how to handle user access. But will easy to find on Codex or this forum.

Hi @henrywright
It would be great, if buddypress plugins older than three years would be updated 😉
And I would like to see member profile stats
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-member-profile-stats/
and community stats
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-community-stats/
But is this the right place for plugin ideas?
Thanks
Matthias
Hi @danbp,
thanks for your explanation. I know, that this name field is required.
But I wish they quit it in one of the next buddypress versions.
When your using the mention feature on a buddypress install users have to be careful not to use the real name…
I would prefer the way wordpress does handle the real name. When there is no addtional info the username is the realname. When you define more, you can change your realname… That would be the better and easier way…
Thanks
Matthias
So I’m fairly new to both WordPress and BuddyPress, but I do have some general experience with php and other scripting and programming languages.
I want to do two things:
1) When a group is created: Execute some php script I have written to create and modify some text files.
2) Within the newly created group add some html and javascript code from the text files.
I’m honestly confused on how to do these two things, even after spending a couple of hours digging through information. Am I suppose to implement a do_action or apply_filters? Both of them are a little confusing to me…
Any direction is very much appreciated!
Thanks,
-Don
@matthias70,
these fields are required by the system.
WP ask for username, password and email. When BP is activated, he uses WP’s name option Public Name so he can rely to WP. This field called Name is the only one which is required by BP for that reason.
When you visit dashboard > users > your profile, you have a tabed page with profile options (the original WP user manager) and Extended profile (which belongs to BP) where you can edit your profile. On WP’s tab you see login, first name, last name and public displayed name. On BP’s tab there is only Name, which reflects what is in first and or last name.
In wp_users table, you have user_login, user_nicename and display_name
user_login and user_nicename have the same content
display_name contains first and/or last name (if exist from a previous WP install, before BP installation).
Depending what and where something needs a name to work (avatar, comment, notice, activity, etc), one or the other name option is fired.
If you don’t need/want real names on front end, you can use this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only/
Could it be you use a multilingual plugin ? Deactivate it and contact the author and also your theme support.
Same issue & same theme author mentionned here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/php-error-log/
Thanks for your reply, danbp!
I’m now through all of your steps and doublechecked all settings again and again. Finally I made a new installation from buddypress and repeated the steps one more time.
I haven’t activated bbpress yet as buddypress alone does’nt work already. Exact same issue as described above occurs: Can’t load any of the user profile pages (neither old members before nor newly added users after buddypress installation) while everything else is working.
Always great to see a new BuddyPress plugin! 🙂
