When I click, i redirect to Friends Tab => Request but it not show Friendship request. It only show You have no pending friendship requests.. Please tell me how to fix it. I’m using default theme of WordPress
Hi,
With the default theme like twenty-seventeen, I do not see the case, everything looks fine there.
Please check by changing the theme if it works fine for you then certainly your current theme is having the issue.
Thanks
I’d try it on a default theme first.
Using BuddyPress 3.2 and Pro theme.
When attempting to upload a photo into a group cover photo, it seems to upload perfectly. No errors, only the success message, however, the image doesn’t show at all. It does fine for member profiles, but not groups.
Not sure what information anyone would need to help, but you can see an example at https://htl.techwatch247.com/hometowns/nashua-nh/
Groups are being used to represent towns and cities near my area.
Did you try deactivating the other plugins and switching to a WP theme such as 2016?
Thanks.
After viewing I’ll talk to the theme creators.
I have all plugins except for BuddyPress disabled and also have switched out to a basic WordPress theme again but still am not getting any sort of confirmation messages/notices when I save a new password change. I’ve checked in my BuddyPress files as well (am running the Nouveau template but have tried switching between that and Legacy to see if it would fix anything) and both have the proper code you specified in it, but nothing’s showing up.
I have tried changing a test account’s password. I changed to a basic WordPress theme and it didn’t have that message at all. Any idea where that’s located?
Have you tried changing your password on the front end?
You should see this message, usually below the header and above the tabs:
Your settings have been saved.
Screenshot is from a test site using the WP 2015 theme.

I’m trying to find a way to have a confirmation/success message appear after a user changes their password in their settings. Right now it just refreshes the page once they click “save” and we’ve had users complain that they don’t know if their password change worked or not.
I’ve tried switching WordPress themes but none of them are making any sort of confirmation message appear, so I don’t think it’s built in. Any ideas on how to add one?
Have you tried switching momentarily to a WP theme like 2016?
If you do and the problems are resolved, then you know the issue is in your theme and you should speak to the theme creators.
BuddyPress does not add a random description or social icons.
You may also want to try deactivating plugins one at a time until you identify the source of the issue.
Then you can contact the developers for that plugin.
Thank you.
My first suggestion will be to try disabling the LH Private BuddyPress, if that does not solve it you should try deactivating Youzer and BP Force Profile photo(assuming bp-custom.php) and child theme’s functions.php does not have any redirection.
Please give it a try and let me know if any of the above resolves the issue?
…are you using any content restriction/redirection plugin?
wp super cache
youzer
title remover
short codes for buddypress
super pwa
lh private buddypress
gutenberg
font awesome 4 menus
child theme configurator
buddypress global search
buddypress activity autoloader
buddypress
bp force profile photo
Thank you for the details. No need to change the theme.
Can you please visit the Dashboard->Settings->BuddyPress and tell me which template pack is active? I will need one more detail after that to assist you.

@sbrajesh i am using the default theme twenty-seventeen. I cant find a buddypress folder on it. what do you suggest i do? what free theme do you recommend i use at this time?
Hi,
The way the activation link and the way input is filled changed in 3.0.
If you are using a custom theme or have a copy of activate.php in yourtheme/buddypress/members/, you will need to update it.
Please open the file yourtheme/buddypress/members/activate.php in an editor and look for a line like this
<input type="text" name="key" id="key" value="" />
Change it to
<input type="text" name="key" id="key" value="<?php echo esc_attr( bp_get_current_activation_key() ); ?>" />
That will auto fill the input key.
Hope it helps.
Regards
Brajesh
I am having the same problem though i am using default twenty-seventeen theme. It still isnt working till now, users are pilled up but cant verify their accounts.
It didn’t work. I have checked and rechecked it with the default twenty-seventeen theme, still, it doesn’t automatically put the code into the box.
Could it be a problem with the host?
What would it be for the CSS?
This down;t work:
.all-members {
display: none;
}
(because I am not using the Buddypress theme to do it his way).
My theme don’t show the user role, that is a script to show a badge ( if the user has a specific role).
This badge will confirm the certified profile.
Please use the code button when posting code.
BuddyPress does not show the user role on a user profile.
Can you find out if it is your theme or some plugin that is showing the role?
That would be the best place to make your change.
Hello,
I am having an issue with Activation Email not being sent. This is obviously a common problem.
My site is https://community.rewardmob.com/
Hosted on Azure
Buddypress 3.2
Theme is Kleo
WordPress 4.9.8
I have WP Mail SMTP installed and it is working. I checked with Check Email.
Accounts are created… just no Activation email account being sent so the account sits in Pending.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance,
Brad
Ok, I think I’ve managed to fix this by creating a new role in functions.php that has the bp_moderate capability.
The code looks like this in functions.php
$result = add_role( 'project_admin', __('Project Admin' ),
array(
'read' => true, // true allows this capability
'edit_posts' => true, // Allows user to edit their own posts
'edit_pages' => true, // Allows user to edit pages
'edit_others_posts' => true, // Allows user to edit others posts not just their own
'create_posts' => true, // Allows user to create new posts
'manage_categories' => true, // Allows user to manage post categories
'publish_posts' => true, // Allows the user to publish, otherwise posts stays in draft mode
'edit_themes' => false, // false denies this capability. User can’t edit your theme
'install_plugins' => false, // User cant add new plugins
'update_plugin' => false, // User can’t update any plugins
'update_core' => false, // user cant perform core updates
'edit_users' => true,
'create_users' => true,
'delete_users' => true,
'unfiltered_html' => true,
'bp_moderate' => true
)
);
@prashantvatsh thank you for the response <3
unfortunately i have since changed themes and deactivated plugins and…..still got the same result.
tbh it’s been a bothersome thing since i started using BP but i ignored it….when i make a shorter group description like i did above, it cuts off the majority of the description and adds the ellipsis in the group description when it’s seen in the groups directory.
is there any way to make an equivalent to the CSS ‘!important’ designation in PHP to override this bizarre, annoying ellipsis thing? whatever the source, there HAS to be a way to create a command that overrides the presence of the ellipsis in the site. i never will use it anywhere else….so if i could disable it site-wide i’d be fine with that.
thoughts?
