Hi @mbaysf
I’m curious, as BuddyPress doesn’t display WordPress posts written by a member into their individual page, what Theme, Plugin or custom code are you using to create this posts tab?
Hi,
It’s probably due to an outdated template override in your theme. In 7.0+ we’ve fixed a duplicated ID issue that required some template pack files to be updated. We published a developer note about it on September 25: https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2020/09/25/bp-template-packs-changes-in-version-7-0-0/
Hi @alersn,
bp_groups_get_group_types() is used into the group’s individual page header to list the group types it is assigned to. This function gets all registered group types : the ones that are created using the WP Admin screen and the ones that are registered using code. code argument of the array parameters is used to only get group types registered by code to make sure they can’t be deleted from the WP Admin Screen. BTW It’s not used into the Groups directory.
I’ve tested the “BuddyPress Create Group Type” plugin in BuddyPress 7.0.0. I confirm I’m able to set the Group Types of a Group during its creation process. It’s important to make it possible when adding a Group Type from the WP Admin Screen BuddyPress introduced in 7.0.0 activating the “Show on Group creation” checkbox. See the below screen capture.

Of course, you won’t get the tabs the “BuddyPress Create Group Type” as it uses another way to store the Group Type properties.
That being said without using this plugin Admin UI, you can still enjoy these tabs with some custom code. Here’s a Gist containing the one I’ve used from a bp-custom.php file.
Hello I’m using BuddyX theme and I have the same issue with no group description displayed. I have check files as you’ve suggested.
Can you help me please ?
Thank you very much for your help

WordPress version 5.6
BuddyPress version 7.0.0
Gravity Forms version 2.4.21 with Advanced Post Creation add-on
Avada Theme
http://www.mgroupcorp.com
This site is using gravity forms to feed into an intranet posting feature, and they want to be able to tag other users. When I create a backend post, the dropdown list of mentions populates. When I try from the frontend (as most users would) there is no dropdown. If you know the entire username, the tag still works – it’s just the dropdown that won’t appear. Activity streams are turned on, and I have the following code in my functions.php
add_filter( ‘bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts’, ‘buddydev_enable_mention_autosuggestions’, 10, 2 );
function buddydev_enable_mention_autosuggestions( $load, $mentions_enabled ) {
if( ! $mentions_enabled ) {
return $load;//activity mention is not enabled, so no need to bother
}
//modify this condition to suit yours
if( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_current_component( ‘gravity_forms’ ) ) {
$load = true;
}
return $load;
}
Am I missing something else? Thanks!
@socialdigita theme support can help on it better.
WordPress 5.6, BuddyPress 7.0.0, all plugins up to date. StarKid theme by Thimpress.
I’m getting page not found with these types of URLs:
https://oncloudk9.co.uk/members/On%20Cloud%20K9/profile/edit/
https://oncloudk9.co.uk/members/On%20Cloud%20K9/courses/all/
I understand that it’ how the user name is formed, the link is being created as on cloud k9, rather than on-cloud-k9, but I don’t know how to correct it.
On Cloud K9 is an admin account, so it’s not feasible to delete the account and recreate it.
Thanks.
We are using the Total WordPress Theme and our activity page worked great for awhile showing the sidebar (on the side) on large monitors (then pushing it to the bottom on mobile). Now the sidebar is being pushed below all of the posts (and not done responsive). Apparently some content that was posted to the activity is forcing the width of the activity area to push the sidebar below the content (even on large screens). How do I force the activity content to be constrained so the sidebar cannot be pushed below the content incorrectly on large monitors?
Hi,
I have a directory website that runs on the MyListing theme.
I created a staging site and installed BuddyPress to test the possibility of increasing the features. Everything was working fine except for the Group page. It returns an empty page.
Please could you help me.
WordPress version – 5.6
BuddyPress version – 7.0.0
function vap_loading_lazy_attribute_remove_actions() {
remove_filter( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', 'bp_core_add_loading_lazy_attribute' );
remove_filter( 'bp_activity_comment_content', 'bp_core_add_loading_lazy_attribute' );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'vap_loading_lazy_attribute_remove_actions' );
above can help to disable lazy load from activities, you can add inside child theme functions.php or using the code snippet plugin
To order alphabetically user the bp_nouveau_get_members_filters.
function themename_bp_reorder_member_directory_filters( $filters, $context ) {
if ( 'group' !== $context ) {
$filters = array();
if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) {
$filters['alphabetical'] = __( 'Alphabetical', 'buddypress' );
}
$filters['active'] = __( 'Last Active', 'buddypress' );
$filters['newest'] = __( 'Newest Registered', 'buddypress' );
}
return $filters;
}
add_filter( 'bp_nouveau_get_members_filters', 'themename_bp_reorder_member_directory_filters', 10, 2 );
Hi, thanks for answering me 🙂
I am trying to use “BuddyPress Create Group Types” with the new realise (BuddyPress 7.0.0) but i have a problem to display the group type option selection during group creation and when a group administrator is on the group settings page. The problem get solved when i uninstall the pluging (“BuddyPress Create Group Types”)…but then i am not able to add a group type filter on top group list page because of what i post mencione before…:(
Could be a conflict between “BuddyPress Create Group Types” and “BuddyPress 7.0.0”? or the conflict come from my theme (BuddyX)?
Thank for the atention
that seems a very old issue, might be theme specific which is using deprecated codes

@priskabroese try to cross check at your staging site with default wp theme.
@yaesew you can try to redefine cover image size which can match as per your theme cover dimension.

Hi there, i have the latest version buddypress, bbpress and learndash installed with the Elumine theme. The buddypress notification counter does not count/alert when there is a new message/post. Can someone help, where to find that setting?
I just recently bought the buddy boss platform and theme but I need to deactivate buddy press and it won’t deactivate! How do I get it to deactivate. Every other plugin works and deactivates. I checked!
I suppose this is a long shot, but here goes.
So I have BuddyPress and the Vantage theme installed on this random website (On a development server that’s only for internal users so no link available). On any of the BuddyPress Groups pages on this site, I get the following warning:
( ! ) Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ‘bp_group_new_topic_button’ not found or invalid function name in /var/www/html/INSTALLFOLDER/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 287
Googling hasn’t really provided me with any solutions, so perhaps someone here may know the answer.
-Tried testing with TwentyTwenty theme and still get the warning.
-Tried changing Template Packs from Legacy to Nouveau and vice versa.
-Tried adding some code into functions.php to no avail.
-I disabled the bp-template-pack, but while that fixes the warning, it affects the Vantage theme design.
Using WordPress 5.5.3, BuddyPress 6.4.0, Vantage theme 1.15.5 as well as the bp-template-pack at version 1.2.1
Thanks!

As I did the upgrade to BuddyPress v7.0, I am fairly positive that was the one change that triggered the member directory getting “stuck” – and with it the Buddypress Widget, which we (used to) use prominently.
However, we did several upgrades all around WP 5.6 (we document everything). Here is an excerpt of our Change Log:
12 DEC 2020 – Saturday
☠ [08:40 UTC – @kerrie ] Filed a support request / bug inquiry here regarding the Buddypress membership / widget bug
☠ [07:45 UTC – @scaffiesadmin ] Replaced the Buddypress “Recently Online” widget with the GD “Currently Online” widget (much fewer displayed) on the newspaper, and added the “Find New Friends” widget, until the Buddypress widget has been fixed (member list does not update, it is a bigger issue than just the widget displaying it). Sadly, with Buddypress updates something goes wrong regularly – but it is usually fixed quickly.
11 DEC 2020 – Friday
☠ [12:30 UTC – @kerrie ] The Buddypress “Recently Online” widget on the newspaper seems to have stopped working. Must be connected to the v7.0 upgrade hours earlier (not that there is a choice to upgrade or not, really — security issues are also always fixed with those).
☠ [01:40 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced) to v5.6.0
☠ [01:35 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated WordPress to v5.6 – ‘Simone’ … “Code is Poetry”
☠ [01:34 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated Autoptimize to v2.8.0
☠ [01:33 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated BP Better Messages (Premium) to v1.9.7.60 (no public change log) – “other bugfixes and improvements”
☠ [01:32 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated Buddypress to v7.0 – “a major BuddyPress feature release” .. named “Filippi“
☠ [01:31 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated EU Cookie Law to v3.1.6
☠ [01:30 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated GP Premium (GeneratePress theme plug-ins) to v1.12.3 (no public change log)
☠ [01:29 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated Jetpack to v9.2.1
☠ [01:28 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated MyCred (Points, Rewards, Gamification, Ranks, Badges & Loyalty) to v2.0
☠ [01:27 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated Newsletter to v7.0.0
☠ [01:26 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated Paid Memberships Pro – Gift Levels v0.3 (no public change log)
☠ [01:25 UTC – @kerrie ] Updated UpdraftPlus Premium to v2.16.42.24 (no public change log)
07 DEC 2020 – Monday
☠ [22:46 UTC – @scaffiesadmin ] Updated WP Maintenance Mode to v2.3.0
☠ [22:45 UTC – @scaffiesadmin ] Updated BP Better Messages (Premium) to v1.9.7.59 (no public change log) – PM Pro incompatibility fix (affected Scaffies)
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS!!

I’ve tested the described issue (Two friends User A & B, both subscribers, both having a group) with latest WordPress (5.6) and BuddyPress (7.0) and into the Twenty Twenty-One theme. I can’t reproduce your issue. If it was a BuddyPress issue, then it should be the case.
I advise you to try the above configuration on a testing site, you should see the issue won’t be there. Then activate your theme, check if the issue appeared, if so: the theme should fix it, then activate all the plugins you use on your site one by one making sure to test again the issue before activating a new plugin. As soon as you can reproduce the issue, you’ve found the problematic one.
@imath I already tried getting support from the Olympus theme support team and they suggested that I reach out to the Youzer plugin team for support, which I have done, but they are as yet unable to help. Basically I am trying to figure out why member (subscribers) shared posts are showing up inside every single group, along with the actual group activity, in order of most recent – the member shared posts should not show up in groups, only in their personal activity stream or the sitewide stream. This issue does not happen for administrator accounts – admin users are only seeing group activity inside each group, as you would expect.
