You can try this plugin which also has a premium version with more features. Not sure if it will meet your requirements but you can give it a try. Get it here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-custom-profile-menu/

Or try this method if your adventurous which I haven’t tested:

@themightymo @bphelp BP Devs are in the process of updating the site during free time. Thank you for your patience 🙂

Peace.

@dmd54 I can understand your frustration with a problematic installation and know that you want help asap. Remember though all who help out in the forums are volunteers from all over the world with different ways of responding to questions posted here. What’s kosher for some may be impudent to others. Moving on…

i have the register page set to my sign up page but nothing appears.

– You mean you created a blank page with title/slug for registration, and then assigned that page to Registration in Settings > BuddyPress > Pages, right?
– What do you mean when you say nothing appears? Is it white screen in front and no source view or do you just see the title Register (or slug you chose) and no registration forms below?
– Are you on MAMP, WAMP, or XAMPP?
– Are you using a custom theme or have you tried using Twenty Twelve theme or the BP Default theme?
– Yes Register page and Activate page are separate because each page has a different function.

@number_6 If you activated all of the components in Settings > BuddyPress > Components, 16 BP tables should be created in your site’s database as seen here.

BP interacts with most WP tables in database so you have to port it sitewide. Backup DB manually i.e., phpMyAdmin to computer hard drive, then use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ to help you move your DB. Btw, do not use webhost’s one-click WP installation, upload WP manually and install. You need to be in total control of your site if you want to activate BuddyPress.

@jkuzma
– Updated from what WP/BP version to what version?
– How does new registration “break” the site? White screen or 500 error? What shows up in your error logs?
– What random pages show up 404? Pages created in Pages > Add New or BuddyPress pages?
– How did you install WordPress – via webhost one-click install or did you upload WordPress manually? one-click WP install is buggy for BP sites as you need to have full control of your site when you use BuddyPress.

@dswd
In members-loop.php change this:
<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) ) ) : ?>
To This:
<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . '&type=alphabetical') ) : ?>

g14nc4n0 one post is enough 🙂 as mentioned in other post, BP Lead Devs know about this.
Closing this topic.

Confirmed. The BP Lead Devs know about this.

hi @danbpfr

does http://testbp.org/ still work?? … i can’t access 🙁 error 403 “forbidenn…”

@g14nc4rl0

it’s down for me as well……

I’m curious about the same thing. Jhinzo, you’d like for your custom post types to show up as tabs under a user (or a band in your case)?

I’ve been told this can’t be done. Can someone prove that statement wrong??

@themightymo
Your welcome! Maybe @mercime and @hnla could shed some light on this issue?

@themightymo
Just tested it out even though it is not a feature I use here but after I posted an activity update it went to a white screen with what appears to be a redirect loop that will not resolve. @mercime @hnla Do you guys have the same issue?

@dmd54

if someone could offer advice i would appreciate it.

You asked for advice and I gave it to you.

That was about the most useless response anyone could have provided.

Given your demeanor don’t expect anyone to spoon feed what you did wrong when you supplied little information to begin with and when someone offers friendly advice you make a rude comment. Search the forums for similar issues and study the codex.

Building a child theme and then switching shouldn’t be a problem. For a tutorial on how to create a child theme see the Codex

Apologies for my rant!
I managed to resolve this issue by creating all the member forums first from WP dashboard and then assigning them to the appropriate groups from the members forum setting page from the front end.
It appears the issue lies with BuddyPress when trying to create member forums from the front end using the ‘allow group to have its own forum’ setting.

I just checked your issue in BuddyPress Media version 2.15.3 and there’s no such error. Can you tell us in which version you are having this problem?
I tested it on this site: http://buddypress.aws.gagan.pro (my BuddyPress test site)

@patricksaad
I was just informing you of the release of the plugin which works perfectly in my test environment. If you can get your code working and integrated into the core great, if not there is a viable option already.

No I didnt try deactivating plugins since I was not sure which plugin is actually causing this error.

Having links showing up twice in Posts when you only posted it once is not normal for any BuddyPress or regular WordPress installation. It’s basic troubleshooting to deactivate plugins either one by one or by batch or all together (except BuddyPress) to find out which plugin is causing the error. Btw, you didn’t mention what theme you are using.

If I click on “add links” , it shows me add link here and then a preview button.

Is that “add links” coming from a plugin? What exactly do you preview after you click “add link”?
