BuddyPress.org

I understand your frustration with BuddyPress not working as expected after installation. It can be tricky to set up sometimes. Have you tried the troubleshooting steps suggested, like disabling other plugins and switching to a default theme? This can help identify if there’s a conflict.

Also, ensure that you’re using the latest version of BuddyPress and that your PHP version is at least 7.4, as this can impact performance. If you’re still facing issues, consider checking the BuddyPress forums for specific setup guides or common issues. Have you had a chance to reach out to their support or community for more tailored assistance?

You can achieve a vertical display of profile fields in BuddyPress by adding some custom CSS. Try this:

css
#profile-fields .field {
display: block;
margin-bottom: 15px; /* Adjust spacing as needed */
}
Add this code to your theme’s custom CSS section or the Additional CSS section in the WordPress Customizer. This should stack your profile fields vertically with some space between them.

Have you checked if your theme might have any specific settings that affect the layout of BuddyPress fields?

Same problem.

WordPress 6.2.2
Buddy Press 14.1.0
Theme Vikinger
PHP 8.3

OK, so I figured mine out! It is located in the Paid Memberships Pro – Settings – Levels. When you are setting up or editing a level, scroll to the very bottom and open “Other Settings”. Set the “Unlock BuddyPress:” to “Yes, give members access to specific features.” Then start clicking yes or no on which features you want them to have access to. There is one option that says “Joining Groups” (of course set it to yes). The default setting when you make a new member level is “No – lock all access to BuddyPress”.

After I made those changes to every single membership level it started working. I hope this is all that is wrong with yours. I’ve had a heck of a time setting this site up. Most of my problems have been solved with tweaking settings in hidden corners of the site. I’m working on the gamipress and had to restore from backups twice. I kept screwing up the badges and quests. I wanted two types of badges and two types of quests, but the theme just doesn’t support it without me having to stumble around a bunch of code. I’m not that competent! LOL!

You can override the registration template in a child theme.

Steps:
Copy the registration template from wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php

Paste it into your theme folder in wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress/members/register.php.
Modify the HTML, PHP, or structure in the file as needed.

I think you have used BuddyPress and BuddyBoss themes. You can try deactivating the BuddyBoss theme temporarily to see if the issue persists, which will help determine whether the problem is related to the theme or BuddyPress itself.

Hi
I think cache issue Please remove Cacha and then check or you can try the BuddyX theme

BuddyX

Please try changing your theme to the default WordPress theme (such as Twenty Seventeen). And see if the issue is solved or not. If the issue is solved, that means the problem comes because of the theme.

The best way, you contact the theme author and report this problem to them as only they can give a proper solution.

You can try to change the Vikinger theme to the default WP theme (Twenty Twenty One, etc). And check again if the issue is solved or not. If the issue is solved, I think you need to update your Vikinger theme to the newest version. You need to contact the Vikinger author too regarding this.

It sounds like you’ve already taken some great troubleshooting steps. Since the “Join Group” button isn’t functioning, I would recommend the following:

Check for JavaScript errors: Right-click on the page, select “Inspect,” then go to the “Console” tab to see if any errors appear when you click the button. JavaScript conflicts often cause buttons to stop working.

Enable WordPress Debugging: You can enable the debug log by adding the following line to your wp-config.php file:

php

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);

This will help catch errors that might not be visible in the front-end.

Check group creation method: If your groups were created using a plugin or demo import, try creating a new group manually to see if the issue persists. Sometimes imported data can cause conflicts.

If none of these resolve the issue, it could be helpful to explore potential theme conflicts with BuddyPress or review any customizations you may have made.

People can check the list of groups and list of members on the directory page. Usually, the page is “yourwebsite.com/members” for the member’s directory and “yourwebsite/com/groups” for the group directory.

You can see and edit the slug on BuddyPress Settings >> URL tab.

If the issue is the non logged-on user can not access it, I think it is because there’s a restriction system on your website. Maybe it’s part of a plugin/theme on your website or a code. You need to disable it so people can access your BuddyPress directory.
