Try adding the below code to bp-custom.php if a logged out visitor tries to go to the activity page then they are redirected to login. For more info on bp-custom.php please see:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/bp-custom-php/

/* Prevent logged out users from accessing bp activity page */
function nonreg_visitor_redirect() {
global $bp;
  if ( bp_is_activity_component() ) {
    if(!is_user_logged_in()) { //just a visitor and not logged in
        wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php' );
    }
  }
}
add_filter('get_header','nonreg_visitor_redirect',1);

No, you’ll need to use something that’s can work with MySQL.

Hi there !

I was exposed to the same issue today, with BP 1.7.2 and WP 3.5.2.

Solved by checking the php version of the site, the php version should be 5.4 ( use the function <? phpinfo(); ?> to check that.

Other thing, like have said @baskers, ensure you have only lower caps in your url.

Hope my reply would help someone else ! 🙂

@resom WP/BP versions? Have you gone through basic troubleshooting like deactivating all plugins exept BuddyPress and changing to Twenty Twelve or BP Default theme?

@globalvagabond What exactly don’t you understand about using the shortcode? If that’s not what you want, since you would choose the topics manually, you can just copy the topic title you want and add a link to each topic.

e.g.
<a href="https://buddypress.org/support/topic/select-topics-to-show-on-frontpage/">Select topics to show on frontpage</a>

@applegateian

I’m not 100% sure this will resolve the issue but try deleting your avatar and then uploading a new one.

BuddyPress may have ‘crunched’ the image on upload (it may have created a full size image and also a much smaller thumb image). It is possible that it is still serving your old ‘very small’ thumbnail image at the bigger 192×192 size which will account for why it looks like it does.

@drhidragmailcom the theme you purchases is promoted to be BuddyPress-compatible. Looks like your theme needs to be updated. Bounce theme demo shows bp.css while your theme is showing bp-legacy stylesheet. Theme author should be able to provide support for making your theme compatible with latest BP 1.7.2 version.

@jimbaldwin1137yahoocom You’re welcome. Marking this issue as resolved.

You could always att this to bp-custom.php

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH', 192 );

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT', 192 );

Then use this in your post page

$author = get_the_author();
echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('ID'), 120, '', $author );

Not the ideal solution but it should work. Note that all you’ve really done is increased the default BuddyPress thumb size. As i say, not the ideal approach but i can’t see how you can use get_avatar() for your objective when BuddyPress filters it in the way it does.

I’ve just raised a BP Trac ticket for this
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5074

BuddyPress seems to attempt to filter get_avatar() – see bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter(). I did bring this issue up a while ago at WordPress Trac but the call was closed.

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/24596

Wonder if anyone thinks it’s worthy of a BP Trac ticket?

You might find google search better. Preface your query with site:buddypress.org to search this site only. ie site:buddypress.org change avatar

The gravatar upload works for me with bp 1.7.2. I can click on browse and then the upload button. Once uploaded I can crop the image.

Have you tried the usual troubleshooting of disabling all plugins and changing theme to either bp default or 2012 and see if it works. If so then re-enable individually until you find the culprit….

@64tees you can create your own members widget plugin with the modifications you want – see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.7.2/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php

@jimbaldwin1137yahoocom rename the BuddyPress folder in server e.g. wp-content/plugins/buddypress-xxx

@briz_dad there are different ways to go about it, one way -> http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/
