My present theme is incompatible. Switching to twenty eleven theme on my locally hosted site worked. Was having this same problem on locally hosted testing website too.
Hi, I have the latest version of wordpress and all other plugins. Buddypress was working fine with all these other plugins and theme before till Sunday! It has happened only in the last 5 days or so. I deactivated all plugins except buddypress and still its not working. It was working with BP 1.7 so I will try and revert back.
That is strange and not default BP behavior so you need to supply more info on your setup. I see you have already stated using BP 1.7.1 so what version of WP? What plugins and theme are you using? Have you tried the basic troubleshooting procedures by deactivating all plugins other that BP and reverting to bp-default or twenty twelve theme to see if the same issue persists?
Hi bp-help,
Thanks so much for replying! My default setting was contributor (roles – add/edit posts, participate in forums, and BP activity). Because of spams I changed it to Subscriber (Only BP activity, no adding posts). The profile fields I am talking about are in the base/primary field only. Even the base fields are not showing up – even name and email! Nothing, just blank. I had to add my own sign-up form using a shortcode to that page to at least show the name and email fields, and that is not working either.
Many Thanks
Sonia

By default new users are set to subscriber’s so why did you have to set it?
Is the profile fields you want for registration placed in the base profile which shows up automatically on registration? If you added those fields to a new field group which is secondary then it only shows after the user has activated and logged in to their account and go’s to edit their profile in this secondary field you may have created.
Hi,
I recently updated Buddypress to 1.7.1 and users are having sign-up problems.
1. because of lots of spam registrations, before upgrading to 1.7.1 i had set new user as Subscriber from General Settings.
2. After upgrading Buddypress to 1.7.1 the “My Profile” Fields are not showing on the Sign-Up page.
3. So, I changed new user registration to Contributer in the settings.
4. After doing this also, the sign-up page is blank. I tried to change to a new page, that also was blank.
5. I have put a sign-up form provided by my theme, but no email and password is being sent to a new user.
Please help and Thanks in Advance!

@ebraxton30 know that we are all volunteers here living in different time zones.
What have you done so far to troubleshoot the problem? Have you checked whether your theme has been updated for BP 1.7+? Did you change to Twenty Twelve theme or the BP Default theme to see if issue is the same or resolved? Or possibly checking if it’s a plugin conflict?
the test profiles are working. Just not the ones filled in.
Not quite sure what you mean. Filled in profile fields are not showing up? Site url?
These plugins should help 😉
This one is used for members to choose the group they want on registration.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-roles-at-registration/
This plugin assigns specific profile groups to the roles you want.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-xprofiles-acl/
These both work great together, and I am using them on the most recent WordPress and BuddyPress versions.
Can anyone help with this? I have listed all of the information you requested but I’m still waiting for some assistance here.
Thanks so much.
If you only want urls you can use profile fields then pull each through to show where you want on the profile.
Once you’ve set up the profile fields in your admin dashboard you can then output like this:
<?php bp_profile_field_data( array('user_id'=>$user_id,'field'=>'twitter' )); ?>
This assumes a profile field called Twitter. You may have to set the $user_id depending on if you are outputting on profile or somewhere else.
Should you want to use different types of fields such as date pickers and so on you can use: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/
ok, i have asked several questions on this support forum and this is the first time i was directed to this site. here you go…
1. i am up to date on wordpress, 3.5.1
2. WordPress was installed as a directory, not a subdomain
3. Root
4. WordPress was installed at 3.5.1, not upgraded
5. yes
6. 1.7.1
7. I did not upgrade Buddypress, I installed this version
8. Bowe Codes, ADJE Event Cal, Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields, Gravity Forms, Gravity Forms user Registration Add-on, Members, Uber Login Logo, WordPress Font Uploader, WordPress Uploader
9. I am using the Salutation theme
10. No
11. no
12. n/a
13. none
14. bluehost
15. Linux
Again…the test profiles are working. Just not the ones filled in.
i am using buddypress 1.7
it was a direct install, not an upgrade
For some reason, the last few fields of my user’s extended profile isn’t showing up on their profile page. Is there a way to go to the second page of a profile…
Or, can you extend the number of characters visible in a user’s profile. In my test profiles, everything is visible, however, when the user really elaborated in each field, the bottom fields disappear.
Is this a quick fix or should I cap the number of characters per field?
@praisehim
For the sake of convenience I made a super light weight plugin wrapped in a class that may enable you to use the Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type plugin along with the plugin I made to get rid of the profile links. Give it a try and give some feedback if this resolves the conflict! Get the plugin here:
https://github.com/bphelp/bp-remove-profile-links
@bphelp
I ended up not using the plugin, however, I did make a post in their support forum asking them to resolve it. It seemed like the default profile fields sufficed for me anyway.
Thank you for your help!
@bphelp
It’s funny, but the plugin used to creat the custom fields Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type 1.5.5.5 is what is causing the links to appear. I’m very confused as to what to do. I disabled all plugins and the current theme, and the links didn’t appear, however, as soon as I re-enabled the Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type 1.5.5.5, then the links appear.
What should I do now please 🙁
so im pretty new to buddypress and wordpress… so is anyone willing to explain to me how profile k pics work/are handled? there isn’t an option currently in my “signup” fields. also, i want to embed profile pic/info in one of my sidebars… kinda facebookish.. is this possible as well? any help would be great!
@walid3
That sounds like a great idea that maybe you should open a ticket on this.
No, sure I didn’t mean inserting countries or cities, I was talking about adding a field in profile fields that open a box where you can paste a list of names and it populate as drop down select box, can come in handy adding every kind of lists.
@walid3
Glad I could help but realistically that would take a huge amount of effort for the BP Dev team to integrate every country, every state, and every city in the world into BP so I don’t think they would look too seriously at something of this nature. But then again that is just my opinion.
Thanks so much for your help 🙂 also, I think about suggesting this as a feature in buddypress trac if that is available, it will be so much better adding all those kind of lists fields through admin panel. I will add the cities list for now, thank you again 🙂
@walid3
Not sure about the translation but add the code in the link below to bp-custom.php
http://pastebin.com/asjAAcru
I would be thankful for that, here is the list of cities I need to add at the moment:

@walid3
If you can supply a link with a list to your countries cities then I will try to help you out.
Thank you so much guys but I think it will still be time consuming to add each mark before and after every city name ( or is there a way to add them automatically too? )
I think adding a feature like that to buddypress core would be fantastic, like an option to add a list of names instead of one by one.
