BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress does not provide a media directory, never has. My best guess, is that your theme has an integration with a media plugin, probably rtMedia, and if you install the right one, you’ll get options to make your own galleries. but it still would not include your activity post media in there as BuddyPress is in control of those items.

Looks like a plugin to me, what theme are you using?

Switching to a new platform like BuddyPress can be a great way to improve your website’s user interface and experience, but it is important to make sure the transition is as smooth as possible to avoid any negative impact on your website’s traffic and ranking. Here are some steps you can take to make sure the migration process goes smoothly:

Back up your website: Before making any major changes to your website, it is important to back up all of your content and data. This will ensure that you have a copy of your website in case anything goes wrong during the migration process.

Choose a reliable migration tool: There are many migration tools available that can help you transfer your website’s content from WordPress to BuddyPress. Look for a tool that is reliable, easy to use, and has good reviews from other users.

Test the migration tool: Before migrating your entire website, it is a good idea to test the migration tool on a small portion of your content. This will help you identify any issues or errors that may occur during the migration process.

Customize your BuddyPress theme: Once you have migrated your content to BuddyPress, you will need to customize your theme to match the look and feel of your original website. This may involve tweaking the layout, color scheme, fonts, and other design elements to create a cohesive and user-friendly interface.

Test your new website: Once you have customized your BuddyPress theme, it is important to test your new website to make sure everything is working properly. Check for broken links, missing images, and other issues that may affect your website’s user experience.

Redirect your old URLs: If you have changed the URLs of your website’s pages during the migration process, it is important to set up redirects to ensure that users are directed to the correct pages. This will help maintain your website’s traffic and ranking.

Overall, switching to a new platform like BuddyPress can be a great way to improve your website’s user experience, but it is important to approach the migration process carefully to avoid any negative impact on your website’s traffic and ranking. By following these steps and being diligent in your testing and customization, you can ensure a smooth transition and a successful launch of your new website.

I’m having issues too. I contacted Elementor for support. They confirmed the conflict between Buddypress and Elementor but refused to fix it saying it was an third party (Buddypress) problem and not theirs. (I already submitted a ticket to BP but haven’t had a response yet.)

And just like you – it doesn’t matter which theme I use because my Elementor built Buddypress login/registration template/page still won’t work as long as Buddypress is enabled. I can’t even open the template to edit it as long as Buddypress is enabled.

I’m following your ticket here to see it will help bring attention to BP devs to fix this problem.

This might be a bug in the BuddyPress Docs plugin which adds collaborative workspaces to your BuddyPress community. You can try to deactivate and delete the plugin from your WordPress dashboard and see if that solves the problem.

Alternatively, you can also try to completely delete, reset or reinstall BuddyPress by following these steps:

1/ Change to another theme than BuddyPress. 2/ Deactivate BuddyPress plugin. 3/ Delete it from Network admin (and make sure it exists no more in the directory). 4/ Deleting wp-bp tables.

@katehobson, after several years of using Elementor, I’ve found that they tend to have an elitist attitude towards any theme or plugin that conflicts with theirs and always expect the third party to conform to their plugin as opposed to vice versa. Their suggestion to me was to contact Buddypress for support instead since they viewed it as a Buddypress problem and not an Elementor problem. I knew that was likely going to be their response and now I’m kicking myself for wasting over 24 hours waiting on them to forward my ticket to their Tier 2 team for the Tier 2 team only to tell me that they weren’t going to help me. I should have just contacted Buddypress immediately with my problem – not that BP is fast to respond at all. Case in point, I submitted a ticket to the BP support forum 6 months ago that still hasn’t been replied to. If this next ticket doesn’t get resolution much faster, I may be searching for an alternative to BP since this is hurting my website and is bad for business. I need something that works more consistently with better customer service. SMH… This may be one of those cases where you get what you pay for.

Thanks for this info, @coralbeauty. That’s interesting. I also use Elementor and have noticed it behaving oddly lately (taking a long time to load pages to edit or not loading at all). However, if i leave Elementor active and change theme, my members profile pages and registration page appear again (suggesting that for me it is an Astra problem). I’m pretty sure i tried deactivating Elementor and the problem remained with the newer version of Astra.

Did Elementor offer any solutions from their side?

I have issues with Buddypress not working on my site as well. I also have Astra Pro and use Elementor to build my pages. After troubleshooting, the conflict was definitely between Buddypress and Elementor and not Astra. It didn’t matter which theme I switched to, when only Buddypress and Elementor were the only two plugins activated, my custom built Elementor login page would break. When Buddypress was deactivated, the page was editable again. I confirmed this with Tier 2 support at Elementor today. I hope that info helps others here!
