BuddyPress.org

Which plugins do you have active and which theme are you using?

I cannot duplicate your issue using a standard WP theme, like 2015, and no custom code other than the filter discussed in this thread.

I suspect an issue with your customized version of the members loop or some custom function re members and / or friendships.

Hi @mosesyoon,

If you find the file that is creating the avatar picture, wrapping the avatar code in something like this might work:

<a href="<?php bp_displayed_user_link(); ?>"> AVATAR PICTURE FUNCTION/CODE HERE </a>

Example below is from the buddypress cover-image-header.php file. Once you have found the file, ensure that you copy it into your child theme before making modifications.

<div id="item-header-avatar">
	<a href="<?php bp_displayed_user_link(); ?>">
		<?php bp_displayed_user_avatar( 'type=full' ); ?>
	</a>
</div>

(not really familiar with the blog side as i don’t use it nor do i know your site setup, so this approach is more a shot in the dark)

Hi,

which theme do you use ? The blue navigation menu is not a BP reference.

On a first install, you enable BP and all pages related to default activated components are created. These pages are not ordinary pages, but dynamical pages intended for internal use only. A kind of placeholders where BP applies a specific template, depending the context.

Out of the box you have 3 BP pages in BP’s settings: Members (mandatory), Site activities, Groups.

These pages and any other created later if you use other components in addition to defaults, should stay empty, without shortcodes, content or template sssignation, CPT’s or whatever.

Just a page and a title. Anything that should appear on such pages is handled by BP’s templates (bp-themes/bp-legacy/buddypress).

For now, delete the profile page you created and clear it from trash (important).

Profiles are handled by/on the mandatory Members page. No need to create an extra page for them.

Read the install documentation for more details.

Now the user profile link. This is a dynamic link who varies for each user. Something like (your_site/members/USERNAME/profile).

Read here how you can do that.

And as you’re trying to customize BP, read the documentation about child-theme first.

Hello, I had this same problem and this is how I fixed it. It was mentioned in this thread
(https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bad-link-to-profile-edit/)
that there may be a problem in the database table “wp_bp_xprofile_groups”. For some reason the first item id there is not “1” but something else. As you change the id to 1, everything works. Then it also shows the Profile details side Name field (required) in the registration page.

Also there was a problem to edit profile, it went to “Page not found”. This gets fixed also now, now you can edit the fields.

This seems to be some kind of bug in the installing process in some circumstances. I tested this by removing the BuddyPress and also deleting the BuddyPress database tables. They must be deleted manually, they wont get out by deleting the plugin.

New installation put the first id number to “3” to “wp_bp_xprofile_groups” table. Even the group_id in the table “wp_bp_xprofile_fields” was “1” (after I activated some components in BuddyPress menu, before that the tables were empty) for the first field item. So now the field item and the group item never matched.

Hopefully this helps someone. It seems that there are a lot of discussion of this problem, and this is a very annoying problem if you are really using BuddyPress.

Basically the registering had a workaround for example by using plugin “Theme my login”. The registering also looks simpler as there is not that “extra” name field. It is however unknown how BuddyPress works without that name field. Well, but perhaps that is an another story.

Thanks for the report.

We do support default WordPress themes, however new color schemes for default themes is something we really haven’t taken into consideration.

I’m going to ping @hnla here since he’s our resident companion stylesheet guru.

hnla – I haven’t looked into this yet, but if 2016 adds a <body> CSS class to denote the new dark scheme, it might be possible to change our BP colors in our 2016 companion stylesheet to reflect 2016’s dark scheme.

I am installing ribosome theme and do the same thing, work fine. Login for see. For you: try to desactive all plugins without buddypress if no work send me the code that you have put in header

Ok go in editor theme, click in header.php and try to ad this code just before </nav><!– #site-navigation –>

<?php if(bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) > 0 ) { ?>

<#li>
<#a href=”<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?><?php echo BP_NOTIFICATIONS_SLUG ?>”><span style=”font-weight: bold; background: #37b5e4; padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;”><?php echo bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() );
?></span> Notifications<#/a>
<#/li>
<?php } ?>
<#li>
<#a href=”<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?><?php echo BP_MESSAGES_SLUG ?>”><?php if(messages_get_unread_count() > 0 ) { ?><span style=”font-weight: bold; background: #37b5e4; padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;”><?php echo messages_get_unread_count();
?></span><?php } ?> Messages<#/a>
<#/li>
<#/ul>
( please delete all # symbol in this code )

What theme are you using? And how are you building your actual menu?

I tried disabling BP Email using the below two links instruction on how creating bp-custom.php & disabling code:

bp-custom.php

Emails

However, I am still getting the plain text mail!

Please advise..

Did you read this:
https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-custom-php/

‘bp-custom.php does not exist by default’
You need to create it.

Please don’t call out people individually (this was already told to you by @shanebp)

bp-default is no more the default theme for BP. You can use almost any other existing theme.
While testing, i recommend you to use one of the Twenty’s theme shipped with WordPress.

Then to create a child theme and copy into it the needed file from wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/buddypress/

As reminder, a page structure contains at least a header, a content and a footer template, and sometimes a sidebar, depending the theme you use.

If you open index.php from wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\index.php you should get the search form in that template.

Though if you asign the Member page as home page in WP’s Read settings, you won’t have to struggle much with customization.

Read Codex attentively by starting from here.

You may also explain what you want to do exactly and tell which theme you use.
