Hi @priyam1234
I’m aware of the issue, see: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-12-1-1-maintenance-security-release/
I’m currently working on it from https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9075. I need to make sure the fix is taking care of all possible cases, which means a lot of tests.
As soon as I have something solid I’ll package a new minor release. It will happen faster than 12.1.1 (which took a month). I hope I’ll make it happen early next week.
@ayayron sorry to read about it: please do participate to our beta testing period. We extended 12.0.0 to 5 months without receiving any issues from you or other Themeforest developers. It’s better to anticipate imho.
@roberthemsing I’m not sure, my guess is we’re not strict enough about the rewrite rule so I’ll need to review this asap.
I’m going to close this topic, please carry on giving us your feedbacks and issues from this topic:
BuddyPress 12.1.1 Maintenance & Security Release
I have found out from numberous users that BuddyPress version 12 doesn’t work very well, so far I’ve learned that 9 themes that are focused around having BuddyPress crash there sites now, and others who use buddypress with Wp Page Builder and Elementor and Elementor Pro are having error messages creating there websites from being useable. This is just one theme with many people leaving comments about this. https://themeforest.net/item/kleo-pro-community-focused-multipurpose-buddypress-theme/6776630/comments?page=1&filter=all#comment_30328819
I have also contacted my developer support person at Elementor Pro and they are having issues with it as well and it’s not there end with the issues. It’s going on 2 to 4 weeks for most of us.
Hi there,
We have built the custom website using the Divi theme with the BuddyPress plugin and it worked fine until we updated to the latest version 12.0.0 of the BuddyPress plugin. Divi theme dynamic CSS styles are not loading on the BuddyPress pages. Please advise.
Hi,
What is there a proper way to override the buddypress default block css’s?
For example, the main buddypress.css can be moved to child theme and edit whatever I want.
Is there a similar way for the block css too?
Thanks in advance!
I installed a fresh BuddyPress 12.0 on WPMU 6.4.2 main site https://member.vayhub.org with default theme (2024).
The https://member.vayhub.org/register page is nowhere to be found, even when I set the network setting to “Both sites and user accounts can be registered”. I also tried to invite new users to register, but the “Accept your invitation” link doesn’t work either.
Please help.
Thanks,

Hello,
I’m new to buddypress and trying to figure out to get it working. I installed Buddypress. I guess I configured it correctly as everything shows up in my menu as intended.
But from there on out I seem to hit a rock as the buddypress pages do not show correctly. My menubar shows vertically and nothing is displayed correctly.
I can’t even find a way to edit the Buddypress pages. I can’t find them between my pages and editing the on the pages itself is not possible is either.
What am I missing?
I use
WP Version 6.4.2
Divi Version: 4.23.4 with Child Theme: Molti Version: 1.2.1
BuddyPress Version 12.0.0
Paid Memberships Pro Version 2.12.7
Paid Memberships Pro – BuddyPress & BuddyBoss Add On Version 1.4.1
I am currently using Buddyx theme with Buddy Press. Can someone help me how to change the site logo url for buddypress logged in users?
Hello @ceraus
BuddyPress is overriding WordPress registration URL by default so that it is displayed into your theme instead of the wp-login.php file. From previous support topics on the same subject I’ve read some users were deleting the registration page BuddyPress was created to force the use of the WordPress registration page. This was a workaround that is not doing the trick anymore in BuddyPress 12.0.0.
Please see: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-12-0-0/page/8/#post-332709 for a way to disable the BP Registration flow.
For readers information: a ticket to track the above was opened here https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9066
Using BuddyPress 12.0 on a regular config of WordPress is not blocking images, there’s probably a plugin/theme/custom code conflicting with BuddyPress on your specific config.
Hello!
The only things on are Buddypress and BuddyX theme; everything else is default. When disabled the correct /wp-login.php?action=register works fine, when enabled it does not. The registration page is set to “None” in buddypress. All custom code was removed (bp-custom.php) not sure what else I can try.
Hi there,
We’re having an issue where since upgrading to 12.0.0 all slugs that include the word ‘register’ automatically redirect to the homepage. Even disabling the plugin or rolling back a version doesn’t revert the issue.
We’ve tested this with the 2024 theme and no other plugins active on a staging site. I can provide a screen recording of the steps we took in case that’s helpful and could provide a staging site. Not quite sure what we can do to change this on our end.
Hello everyone. My problem is with the reinstallation of the Buddypress plugin. Let me explain, a few days ago I downloaded buddypress from my wordpress admin panel, everything went well, it launched, I made my settings after installing the French translation of the plugin. Unfortunately, the problem is that it doesn’t integrate well with my blog’s design, since I’d checked “keep current theme” during configuration.
I did some research on the net and discovered the “buddypress template pack” plugin. I installed it and everything, but despite this plugin, buddypress didn’t integrate with my theme. I racked my brains all day and finally decided to uninstall these two plugins.
The next day, I’m still researching my problem, and miraculously I come across a download pack that lets me integrate buddypress with the theme I’m currently using. I test it locally, and it’s perfect. So I start reinstalling buddypress on my online site, but then it’s a disaster: as soon as I click on “activate” buddypress, I get a blank page, no error, nothing, and no access to my dashboard. So I uninstalled it via my ftp and everything worked again. I tried to install it via the dashboard, manually via my ftp but nothing happened. I’ve cleaned up my database, deleted the BP_ files but it’s still the same as soon as I try to reinstall this extension, no access to my site and I don’t understand why, despite all my research I can’t find it.
Sorry for this long-winded post, but does anyone have a solution to my problem?
Just for the record, the first installation worked fine and I haven’t made any changes to my files since.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help 🙂
I agree BuddyX is a great looking theme, it’s available on the Theme directory and actively maintained by great developers (who are contributing back to BuddyPress). We wrote a post on it on this website. Our BP Block Theme will also be available on the Theme directory and we’ll probably look at a way to feature nice BP Themes from end-users Dashboard a bit like we’re featuring BP Add-ons from it (Plugins > Add New > BP Add-ons tab).
Hi @windhillruss
I’ve just tested BuddyPress v12.0.0 with or without BP Classic and I wasn’t able to reproduce your issue. To me everything works fine, if you can clone your site on a local/staging environment, I advise you to disable all plugins but BuddyPress and BP Classic and use a bundled WordPress theme to see if the issue is still there (it shouldn’t), then activate one by one your plugins to see which is not behaving the right way.
Sure Mathieu sounds good – what about ‘simply’ (nothing is simple I know) bundling future BP release with BuddyX Theme installer – as you know, that is a great looking BP theme out of the box and FREE! – but I wager not everyone would find out about BuddyX until after they’ve tried and possibly failed to get a good look with the std WP themes. Thanks.
Hi @windhillruss
Thanks a lot for your feedback I’ll check this asap 👌
Hi @epgb101
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I agree we need to improve the front-end design. As I’ve explained here, we are very ambitious trying to integrate with any themes. In next major version (14.0.0, because 13 is a hard number), we’ll carry on on this road but we will also try something new: build a new BP Block Only Theme where we can control every part of the design (which is far from being the case with other themes). So I am confident we’ll reduce the gap you’re talking about and I’m very positive about the fact being able to use the WP Site Editor to organize the layout will attract (back) more people to use BuddyPress.
Hi @maciejatmyshca
Really sorry to read about your issue. I have no idea about why this is happening. Someone else shared about a similar issue in a previous reply to this topic. I have tested (again) with WordPress latest version + Twenty twenty four and only BuddyPress activated and I had no issues with images or styles.
Where do I add my feedback on what Buddypress needs to be taken up by more websites?
Life’s too short – I’ll just write it here and be brutally honest as a semi-techie (most users?). I saw this; “I think the number one problem is the UI. Most people install BuddyPress on their or a default theme and the result is not pretty. This deters most people and makes them look for other solutions.” THIS is the problem. Its VERY VERY ugly out of the box and VERY hard to get looking anything like facebook or anything nice. Yet I know it’s great spftware / platform!!!! How frustrating is that?!! I tried many months to get it looking good – and EVENTUALLY found a great theme and it looks v good now – BOY was it hard and in the meantime I used Peepso – but all the while I WANTED TO USE Buddypress!! – as I much prefer the community around it and the fact it’s built by you wordpress folk. Pack it with one SINGLE graet theme – and it will rocket. My two cents.
I tried it in the theme functions.php file, as multiple online tutorials recommended.
If there is a way to add it directly into the Buddypress plugin via plugin file editor, which Buddypress file should it be added to?
The password reset link on your website is functional. However, it should not lead to wp-logmein.php path. Please check your active plugins and themes for any code that may redirect to that path.
I’m using the free version of the BuddyX theme if that helps.
Hello @bermudastream
The fact this snippet is not working on your config is amazing to me, as I’ve tested it on my development env.
If you haven’t done so, could you add the code into a bp-custom.php file? See https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-custom-php/ for more info about this file.
Hi,
more or less the whole question was squeezed in the forum title. But to expand with more details.
I use a jobboard theme that has its own custom register and login page. I want to keep using that since it has everything I need (and also the option for users to choose employer or candidate role which is important).
However buddypress requires the name field to be entered in buddypress register form. Is it possible to somehow add that field to the themes register page?
I guess I am not lucky enough it so simple as to copy the name field code from buddypress register template in to the themes register template? I guess it has to save to correct database fields etc.
Anyone know how to do this correctly?
Best regards,
Flamuren
Hi @legiosmoke
I’ve just test Astra with BuddyPress 12.0, it works as expected, images are not disappearing, here’s a proof of it:
Hi @legiosmoke
Thanks for your feedback. I’ll test the Astra Theme version that is available on the Theme directory to see if all images are disappearing once BuddyPress is activated.
Hi Mathieu,
When i disable buddypress my site works fine. I tried every possible combination of disable plugins but still nothing works :/ I’m using Astra theme and whole site is up to date.
