maybe try to create a new page (not a post!) – in the dashboard – call it “register-new” and another page (not a post!) called “activate-me”

then associate those pages in the buddypress config area ( https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/#settings-buddypress-pages )

not sure if that will fix your issue, I have not seen that one.. except when permalinks needed to be resaved due to an error that another plugin created. (had to disable the other bad plugin too)

@nfljets2002
Have you created a new page (not a post) called register?

have you associated that page in the BP settings as described here: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/

??

@marisams – disable ALL plugins, switch back to default theme like 2014.. reenable buddypress.. does it work?

Also check to see if you have anything in wp-content/mu-plugins/ or anything in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

@mrgoldfinder23
have you disabled all your other plugins to see if there is a conflict with plugins first?

Have you tried it with default 2014 theme to see if the issue is with just one theme or also defaults?

I just posted a little more detail on the same issue on the other thread similar (started by @griswolddad) here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/profile-pics/#post-233045

@griswolddad – disable all plugins except buddypress. Then go look around your site and see if you can find the ability to upload avatar. I find this fastest by hovering over the top right admin bar (when logged in already) (howdy admin_ – click edit profile.. then “change profile picture” is in the profile area..

If that works, then you know it is one of your plugins that you disabled causing a problem… so reactive them one by one until you find the problem pops up again..

if that doesn’t work – then it’s likely a theme issue..

Twenty Fifteen, meaning the theme? I’m currently using an updated Twenty Fourteen theme, which I prefer the look. Is it necessary to change? I’m on the updated wordpress version and the most update buddypress version.

It’s best to make your changes in the language file.

If you only want to change a label or two, you can use functions. The tricky part is knowing which filter hooks to use: gettext or gettext_with_context.

In your case, you need both:

function example_gettext_with_context( $translated, $text, $context, $domain ) {

    if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )
        return $translated;

     switch ( $text ) {

        case 'Friends':
            return 'Contacts';
            
        default:
            return $translated;
    }

}
add_filter( 'gettext_with_context', 'example_gettext_with_context', 11, 4 );

function example_gettext( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {

    if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )  
        return $translated;

    switch ( $original_text ) {
			
       case 'Friends <span class="%s">%s</span>';
            return 'Contacts <span class="%s">%s</span>';

        default:
            return $translated;
    }
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'example_gettext', 10, 3 );

@jerryroxas – welcome to the wonderful world of wp and bp!

Here is what you are likely to find out.. when asking for support in the bp forums people are going to ask if your problem exists when you switch to the default wp theme and turn off all plugins except bp.

If your problem does not exist in the default setup, then re-enable your other plugins one by one and see if the issue is caused when another plugin is activated. If the problem is caused by another plugin (in your case I am guessing the members plugin) – then you will likely be asked to go find the support forums for that plugin and ask them over there, as it’s not a bp problem, and you are unlikely to get (free) support here.

If your problem does not exist with all plugins, change your theme to what you were using and see if the problem exists. IF problem exists only with the non-default theme, then you need to ask for support with your theme designer.

If you come back here and say that you need such and such functionality and the other theme designers and plugin authors are not helping you, then you will likely be directed to the coders jobs board when you can offer cash for solutions. (And those solutions that you pay for will likely not be guaranteed to work, or work in the future when wp and bp have updates.)

I will add some extra light on your situation however, from what I have seen the next version of buddypress is supposed to have core functionality support for some kind of member levels thing.. see https://buddypress.org/2015/01/buddypress-2-2-beta-2/ –

whether or not that new function will work right at all, or work for the type of situation in which you are trying to create with the permissions / members plugin you are currently playing with, I don’t know. I myself have had some luck with using press-premit-core for some content restriction situations, but I have not looked to see if those affect activity stream registering.. I may play with that some and see.

Importer plugins are always welcome here at BuddyPress! 😀
