hi @wolfied,

it’s difficult to help if you don’t give details.

BP/WP version, install type, PHP version, theme name and used plugins. An URL would be welcome too, at least to the mentionned topic. Thank you.

Hi @rapforthemoment

You’ll need to use some CSS, but first, try asking on the theme’s support forum. The theme author may be able to release a fix.

I’m using 2.2 and when I search for ‘henry’, I appear in the list of members. That’s using Twenty Fifteen, no plugins and WordPress 4.1.

Which theme are you using?

Hello,

thank you for your details.
But sorry to tell now that it would be a bit difficult to isolate what’s not working correctly on your site.

Your PHP version is recent, so we’ll have to check the rest first. Note i’m not saying it won’t be the culprit.

You’re using a commercial theme and i can’t help you about it. This is the responsability of the vendor and you have support accordingly to the licence.

The other point to check is S2 Member framework.

I hope for you that you have a development install, so you can test several things. Firstly a WP/BP install, with one of the twenty theme enabled and without any plugins.

This base config should work correctly. If it’s ok, you enable Sweet Date. And if you discover some issue at this stage, you have to ask on the theme support.

If it’s ok, you can enable your plugins one by one untill you isolate the culprit.

This must be done scrupulously after each plugin activation, specially for the friend request step.

That’s all so far.

Not multiblog that I can see – I have installed twice and still missing “Register” and “Activate” pages. All help displays settings I can’t see. Irony is I have a constant spammers registering as WP users, but I can’t find a way. I have Woocommerce and “Canvas” theme active, but have deactivated both with no change in outcome.

Hi, bonjour, buon giorno, guten tag ! 😉

if you want pertinent help, give more details please. Did issue appeared after update ? Used theme and plugins ? PHP version ?

Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

If issue is still upcoming, as you use a commercial theme, please go to their official support channel.

We have no access to commercial products, so we can’t know why your theme is not working properly. The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.

Hi @espagna123,

no panic, it’s a common issue. You probably use a custom function or a customised theme containing a php error.

Go simply to your FTP > wp-content > plugins and rename the buddypress folder like this /xxx_buddypress/
If you use bp-custom.php, rename it also.

Return to your site admin, deactivate the current theme and activate 2015.

Check that anything is correct, and return to FTP and revert BP’s folder to the correct name.
Than reactivate BuddyPress without forget to check that the needed BP pages exist.

Hi @sklemenc,

you use a commercial theme and need support, please go to their official support channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community, and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people to those official locations.

Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would not know why your commercial theme or plugin is not working properly. This is one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors. The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.

Once BP is installed and you allowed user registration, you have already a register page.
Simply go to dashboard > general > read and select this page as (static)homepage.

For the layout, see

BuddyPress Theme Development

and searching for homepage on the forum leads to many result. 😉

hi @dzagya,

The new BuddyPress comes with SocialMedia fields encoded into the xProfile, and display with the Base profile fields.

Is this gonna require a .php hack? – if so anyone got any tips for me?

or does anyone know a good plugin to handle this?

BuddyPres hasn’t social fields in the Base xprofile field group. There is only one field which is [username] !

Check one of your plugin or your theme setings. Or maybe a custom function…
Give details. Theme & used plugins for example.

@omigosh – I have not seen that before.. does it go away if you deactivate your other plugins? (if so, it’s one of your other plugins doing that)

does it go away if you change to the default twenty fourteen theme? (if so it’s your theme doing that)

@tramford – I think when you are logged in, you hover over your screen name in the top right admin bar, and that has a hover menu with link to your profile (?)

the bp-social theme (not free) has a kind of sub menu with a profile link that shows at top of pages, below the admin bar, but I am not sure how they coded that. I imagine there is a simple bp-template tag available that you could hardcode into a theme.

I just checked on one of my bp-installs, and when I go to appearance->menus ; I have a list of a few pages that can be added to the menu and I did not see an option for “profile” like you are saying.. however, under that list of pages on the left is like a button bar titled “budypress” with a dropdown caret showing – if I click that I have an option for profile and some other bp related pages.. I had never noticed that before, not sure if you will find that there with your install setup ?

I looked over this page and checked everything. Signups are allowed. Comments are allowed. My site still does not allow anyone to Register or Activate BuddyPress forum accounts. There are currently no other plugins enabled. Can anyone please look at the site and let me know what is going on if you have a few minutes? I understand if you can’t help and appreciate the time but I just want to try to troubleshoot what’s going on as something is missing and it’s either something on my end that I can’t find or BP is just not working with this theme or something else.

It is not possible for me to associate pages with the settings shown in the screenshot above. I’ve tried to do this at least five times and it simply will not save the changes no matter. I’ve checked the settings. The pages exist, there are slashes, but it’s still dead.

It’s chubbybunny.info

Hi @omigosh

I’m sorry you feel that way. Let’s see if we can resolve the issue. Of course you’re free to look elsewhere but hopefully things can be fixed here, and quickly.

First off, can you provide some more details on the problems you’re now seeing since upgrading to 2.2? Also, can you provide a list of plugins you’re using, and also info on your active theme.

To answer your question on downgrading, if done properly from backups then there shouldn’t be any problems. However, just deleting them plugin and replacing it with version 2.1 isn’t advisable as things can go wrong when you take that approach.

Hope that helps.

@rosyteddy you are showing custom elements, this is not bp default view for whats-new posting area, you will need to address styles if you want to get these additional aspects displaying nicely.

BP its self cannot style for elements that might be added or for styles where it doesn’t know what the theme in use may add, third party plugins will probably add what they think are necessary styles to work with BP default aspects, some better than others – activity plus is a case in point that crudely shoves in it’s links and which are block level displayed so take up the full width of the area pushing anything else down to the next line. Privacy options probably should not be adding any visual style for things like colour but letting the elements inherit the themes colours.

Very strange.

Have you tried to deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress to see if that wasn’t a problem with another plugin ?

Have you tried to activate a WordPress default theme to see if it wasn’t a problem with the active theme ?

Do you have custom function in bp-custom.php, if so try to remove them temporarly.

If all of the above is not changing anything to your trouble, if you deactivate BuddyPress is the problem still there (you can actually begin by this step, if you prefer) ?

I was so happy to find this solution! But, I am still confused. I tried to put what @danbp said into my child theme and it didn’t change anything.

So I tried what @ckchaudhary said, and it didn’t change anything.

and then I tried both, and it didn’t change anything.

Thanks for helping.
