Hi,
Do you mean they are not appearing on the widgets page or once you have them assigned to a Sidebar they are not appearing there? I’m unable to replicate on my own sites so far..
Have you tried with the twenty twenty theme?
It is possible but not recommended. BuddyPress already has member profile fields. You should use that and it is internally supporpted by buddypress, just make sure you enable the “auto-link” in the profile field while editing the profile field.
If you are open on exploring, the WPLMS theme has members directories built on react and they are well connected with BuddyPress profile fields, example : https://demos.wplms.io/members-directory/
Most likely you have a plugin installed for sending emails. BuddyPress detects if the wp_mail hook is being used by some plugin and sends in the text version.
You can however override this. Simply add this PHP code in your child theme – functions.php
add_filter( ‘bp_email_use_wp_mail’, ‘__return_true’,99999 );
The above fix is of-course based on the assumption that your plugin is configured for sending HTML emails.
This issue was resolved in the theme updates.
I have created a hidden Group and when testing with a member of that group it does not show. It says Viewing 1 group however there is no group listed.
I would like to list Hidden Groups on the member’s profile under My Groups.
Thanks for the help
I am using OceanWP theme at http://www.sbsg.dev
Hello guys how are you?
I’ve noticed the first widget window of the sidebar is not in line with the content of the page itself. Is there a way to make the content or the widget windows down a bit so that the two are in line with each other?
I am attaching a screenshot to make you understand what I mean. I hope you’ll help me.
I’ve already contacted my theme support and they told me it has something to do with Buddypress.

Thank you.
Because a lot of people search for this i post my sollution here.
To have some pages of buddypress with a sidebar and some not you can do this! copy page.php into a new file and call it buddypress.php. Then upload it to your childtheme folder.
Then where the sidebar is called change the get_sidebar() into:
<?php
if ( is_page( array( 'spreekkamers', 'forums', 'activiteiten', '0' ) ) ) :
get_sidebar();
endif;
?>
In this array you can write the names of the pages you want to have a sidebar shown.
For the my profile page I used page id 0 because that was the only possibility to get the sidebar on the profile page. This is because its connected to the members page. I did not want a sidebar on the memberspage.
Then a little of css will make the site look good again.
In my case it was this css, because it was only about one page:
body.page-id-3139 div#primary {
max-width: 100% !important;
width: 100% !important;
}
Thank you vapvarun for pointing me to the right way!!
ok, is there an example somewhere about the conditional wrapping???
And, I place the buddypress.php straight into my childtheme or in childtheme/buddypress/
thanks for this reply
@havealookhere inside the child theme create buddypress.php based on page.php and remove sidebar codes from it to make it full width, you can wrap it with conditional to keep it limited for members directory only.
Hi @neets1604
Thanks for your feedback and thanks for using BuddyPress for 3 years. This email issue happens in BuddyPress because some custom code is overriding our PHPMailer class, that’s the reason why we haven’t identified this issue during our beta release period.
I’d like to remind you it’s important when users have specific configurations that they gives us a hand to identify these cases during the BuddyPress beta release periods: we cannot test all Themes, all plugins extending BuddyPress and all users specific configurations.
There’s a plugin to make it easier to test our beta releases, I’d advise you to use it on a staging site to contribute to the project.
Finally, the upgrade that will fix this issue will be available for download next monday.
Hey all, I’m trying to start the process of redesigning an old Buddypress installation using the legacy theme.
I want to update to bp-noveau, so I’ve dumped the /bp-templates/bp-noveau/ files into my theme into a /buddypress/ folder and all is working fine
However, it is extremely barebones. The CSS is, well…oof.
Does anyone know of a “very simple” (free) bp-noveau theme I can use and build off of? Basically something that already has a very solid design base, but not crazy complex where editing it is a massive hassle.

Buddypress is a necessary plug-in for the theme of my website. I used to use the 6.0.0 version of buddypress. After upgrading to 6.2.0, I found that the website crashed, so I manually deleted the plug-in folder and replaced it with the old version 6.0.0. As a result, the website still crashed and remained in the new state of 6.2.0 version.why? what should i do to modify it to return to the original normal state!?
Hello there,
As we install BuddyPress, regardless of the theme, two new widget areas appear namely:
BuddyPress Member’s Home, and
BuddyPress Group’s Home.
For me, no widget placed in these widget areas appears.
WordPress, BuddyPress and GeneratePress (theme) are all updated to latest versions.
Please help.
Best Regards.

Is there a way of adding a label or badge to users avatars according to their member types so when avatars are in a list you can see form their badge what member tyoe they are. Like the image below…

now i found out how to make it work in my child theme (created directory: ‘buddypress’ – ‘members’ and placed the changed kopy of the template in there).
now i’m just searching for the individual user data…
Hi again,
i found the loop-template.
if i have made my changes, where do i store this individual template?
if i put it in my child theme folder, it isn’t working, even if i rebuild the exact path of the buddypress directories.
and i still didn’t find the individual user data…
thanks!
Ok, thanks!
I’m using BuddyPress and the BeTheme
Do i have to search the members loop template in the BuddyPress plugin directory or in the theme directory?
could you tell me how the loop template is named?
and where do i find the profile data?
thanks!
Hi. First of all, thank you very much for the plugin.
I wanted to ask, if anyone knows why this happens to me in notifications:
https://i.ibb.co/tbH1yKw/Anotaci-n-2020-09-06-092924.jpg
I use the twentytwenty theme on localhost with WinNMP.
Thank you very much.
Are you using BuddyPress or BuddyBoss ?
Are you using some theme that shows the members in a grid?
You need to find the members loop template and use or add a hook in that template so that you can generate the display of profile data in that area.
Hello 🙂
I’m new here. Where can I change the Friend Request Accept button ( http://prntscr.com/u99e35 ) and Join Group button ( http://prntscr.com/u98ia5 )? I was checking the theme color setting but it didn’t reflect these buttons.
When composing a message to more than one user, we get an immediate error message that says “There has been a critical error on your website”. The message will still be sent and you can find it in your sent folder. However, it does not send the copy to the user’s personal email. Sending a message to one single user works fine (with no error message and a copy sent to the user’s personal email).
Everything was working fine until we updated to BuddyPress 6.2.0 and WordPress 5.5. We also run a highend theme.
Advice please.
