Hey,
If you assume it is one of your plugins or theme have you tried using one of the default themes or disabling plugins, and if that fixes re-enabling one by one?
If that doesn’t work you may need to supply more information as specified in https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/
@hochingj Replying to your comment:
With as much as @buddyboss depends on buddypress and with how much they charge, I sure hope they are doing the ethical thing and donating to the buddypress group that they are profiting off of.
I think there is some misunderstandings here. First it is important to know that the BuddyBoss Platform is 100% free and open source. We do not charge for it, you can download it and develop on it for free right now. We are providing a feature rich and actively maintained plugin and we are funding all of the development and documentation for it out of pocket, and not charging anything for it. We did this because our business previously did depend on BuddyPress and our customers didn’t like what BuddyPress was offering, and we believed we could provide a better solution that met our customer’s needs, and so that is exactly what we did.
Our solution is open source just like BuddyPress, and we will open it up to contributors on Github shortly. If you want to contribute to our platform we will welcome you with open arms. Our only goal is to provide a great service to our customers, and our features are driven entirely by customer feedback.
We are profiting only on our theme, whose code is not pulling from anything created by the BuddyPress community. We no longer depend on BuddyPress to any extent for our new products so there is nothing for us to contribute to. We are contributing to the actual users of BuddyPress, by giving away a free version of BuddyPress that is more feature rich and developed at a faster pace, and is backwards compatible to BuddyPress, but not dependent on BuddyPress for its current and future development.
If you fast forward to a year from now our plugin will be very different from BuddyPress, even more so than it already is. The differences are big enough that it would have made little sense to try to do this through BuddyPress. We cannot depend on others to do what our customer base is asking us for. We need to move really fast, and BuddyPress moves really slow, and is actively adverse to growing its feature set too large. But our customers do not want a streamlined plugin, they do not want to depend on other plugins. They want all of the community features out of the box and integrated with each other, and as much as possible, they want that right now. We need the ability to take common requests and build solutions to those requests, without having to ask permission to someone else first. This is what our customers want from us and our obligation is to our customers above all else.
Hello all – I’d like to agree with the quote below from @johnjamesjacoby
I believe BuddyPress is, still to this day, the single most important piece of software on the open web. It empowers anyone to foster free and open dialogue with the privacy and freedom of having their own website on their own hardware, while also being powerful enough to scale up and grow as a community of people garners momentum. And it empowers people like the folks at BuddyBoss to grow even beyond BuddyPress itself.
@buddyboss – Any cool improvements that can be ported back to buddypress would be appreciated I’m sure (^_^)
@coolhunt – yes there are issues I agree, its not been easy and I refer you to the quote above from @johnjamesjacoby | lol @ below, funee and looks like we are in the same boat together!
Does anyone have a good simple beautiful free theme that just works for BP.
Im using 2020 on a project and its horrible…
please please help obiwan save us
@sbrajesh – BuddyDev website is very nice, good work.
No-on active in the IRC channel? Some other communities I follow have nice integrations with IRC and Slack.
I’d love to contribute any way that I can and have registered to show my support for “the single most important piece of software on the open web”
Great work, thank you
Hi guys,
I’m new to this forum and I’m happy to have found it.
I’ve a problem with the BuddyApp theme. Everything worked fine until now and with no relevant (I think) operations, now I can’t connect to the login page. Everytime I logout or I want to connect like user I have a “404 Error, not found”. But I have set the login page in Theme option and I have the page with the [sq_login_form] shortcode.
Do someone has some experience with that or can help me suggesting some solution?
Many thanks
My theme support said that you can help me better then they.
Hi, I have a problem with the activation email in this site: https://provaextra.extra.bredasys.com/login/
I’ve tried to click “reinstall email” with no luck.
The email text is:
“Thanks for registering!
To complete the activation of your account, go to the following link and click on the ‘Activate’ button: https://provaextra.extra.bredasys.com/attivazione/1234567890/
If the ‘Activation Key’ field is empty, copy and paste the following into the field – 1234567890”
The site is multilingual (made with WPML), first language is ITALIAN. The theme is WOffice.
Can you help me please?
Hi,
I have this in the theme functions.php :
function noindex_buddypress() {
if ( is_buddyPress() ) {
echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">';
} else {
}
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'noindex_buddypress' );
Hello Team,
I’d greatly appreciate support fixing this issue that has plagued my site for the last year and has caused me to abandon the hopes of finally finishing my work. In essence, my admin account is flagged as a spammer by BuddyPress across my entire multi-site network! I am not sure where it started, although I have a hunch it was caused by the plugin “Join My Multisite”. Either way, I have deactivated all plugins and created new sites on my network from scratch but as soon as I install BuddyPress the admin account will be marked as a spammer! This is a huge problem because my site uses BuddyBoss theme, which is powered by BuddyPress! I am in extreme need of assistance here! Please and thank you.
Here is another thread with a user experiencing a similar issue:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/my-account-marked-as-spammer-and-i-an-admin/
Hi @coolhunt,
Thank you.
I am sorry but I won’t be able to provide a preview currently. For the 2nd theme onwards, we can do an early preview.
Thank you
Brajesh
@sbrajesh any chance to get an early preview of the theme? 😉
I stand by what I said.
@buddyboss makes great themes and products but its premium.
— as great as the free plugin is.. –a site administrator will benefit great by implement the buddyboss premium theme.
Dare I say that — the free plugin looses its appeal without the utilization of a premium theme.
I personally love the “Boss.” theme ($129USD) and the “OneSocial” theme($99USD). — Though I havent used them in the past 2 years – I suspect they are still of great quality. I also havent used the “BuddyBoss Theme” (Which starts at $228USD)
The new Buddyboss Theme looks a lot like FB and seems like a great option for someone that wants a great looking turnkey solution.
The BuddyBoss Platform plugin is free.
Their themes and support for the Platform are not free.
Go here to get the free plugin – scroll down to
“Download the free BuddyBoss Platform Plugin”
@wfdeanb
If you want something turnkey.. i’d go with @buddyboss https://www.buddyboss.com/online-community-software/
– its pretty fast to get started
– it works out of the box
– its literally the fastest and easiest way to get what you described (there theme even looks like FB)
– premium (not free)
(disclaimer: I dont work for buddyboss nor am i an affiliate)
Hi
I use one-community theme along with buddypress and bbpress.
How can I translate “forum moderation” email entitled “my site’s name Moderation: Flagged topic”?
see screesnhot :
This notification email deals with forum moderation so I previously thought it concerned BBpress. But BBpress support assured me that they do not have the term ‘flagged’ in it and they’re not involved.
So, they told me to ask you directly.
Could you tell me how and where I could perform this translation?
TIA : )
CGC
Put this in the functions.php file in your child theme or in bp-custom.php
It will redirect visitors to the home page if they are not logged in and they try to open a member profile or the members directory.
function seaspray_restrict_members() {
if ( bp_is_user() || bp_is_members_directory() ) {
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_safe_redirect( home_url() );
die();
}
}
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'seaspray_restrict_members' );
I’ve checked if this could be because of a plugin or theme conflict. But even with a clean install and the TwentyTwenty theme, it still doesn’t work.
Removing the feeds like this would be the best way in my opinion.
Is there any way to update/change this code so it works?

I am not sure about this below tricks helps you or not but just tried it and see. I have same problem in my site 1 years ago and I fixed it after so many days r&d.
I am using Flatsome theme and it has the option of lazy loading and when I turn on lazy loading the problem appear and by turning off it’s dramatically went away. So, it’s works for me. Hope it might work for you.
Find lazy loading and similar options to your theme or in your any plugin and let me know if it is worked for you or not ?

although BP works with any theme.. i often find myself add too much BP specific CSS tweaks in the customizer
Im trying to keep things as simple as possible and even with twenty seventeen theme – there are some css tweaks that need to happen.
it makes sense — simply because WP is “blog first” so most content is goofy on how it renders and presents BP pages.
As far as I can tell buddyboss is the only game in town that does a great job of having clean design and straighforward code.
my BP-Theme-wish list
1) BP first *which focuses on great Activity page presentation, Members Directory Presentation & Great Member profiles.
2) Mobile First approach would be super awesome. Most people view profiles and not necessarily doing actual “activity” post. So if someone can figure out a great way to render fast and beautiful activity/members-directory/member-profiles that is very readable on mobile it would be super awesoome.
3) Great use of Menus/Accordions — The way BP works right now on members pages is TERRIBLE on mobile. You have scroll past the cover photo -> then pass the Avatar –> then pass 4 menu items to see any content of the users in the Members Profiles page.
4) Great use of Member Profile Fields — I think by default as a “2 column table layout” to render the profile fields is not great.
**I totally understand that the newest release of BP has interesting pre-built options but even with the default twenty-twenty theme it doesnt look great.
Some thoughts..
— The username in the profile page when too long looks weird and awkward — using CSS to ‘breakword’ is OK.
— The Profile Field Name should be studied on how to render that well..
— The Profile Field entries like (text fields, radial buttos, list, etc..) should have a better readable standard implementation like.. *This one is hard because you dont know the exact uses of each unique BP installs..
— The Menus should be “slidable” on mobile so that the user doesnt have to scroll all the way down to start reading whats on that persons profile.
*** It would be great if someone (some BP expert) post an Ultimate BP/CSS guide that shows how to target each of the BP specific elements… without doing theme surgery.. like a cut&paste into the CSS customizer –BONUS if it can include media queries 🙂
anyway.. rant over..
@sbrajesh
I think it would be an amazing achievement!
*Ironically – even – though BP “works” with any theme. 🙂
Seriously, its a bit of a holy grail to find an official WP theme from WP.org/com that works beautifully with CP.
Most of the themes out there have a “blog first” approach — which isnt bad — BUT I would love to see a free theme that does the basics of BP extremely well.
For now.. I typically tend to use Twenty Seventeen Theme.. or try to use @buddyboss if i have cash to spare..
im deeply bummed that twenty twenty theme doesnt look great using BP
Notice that when you go to page 2 the url does not change. So, after visiting the profile, clicking on back icon loads the main page.
Ideal way to confirm this bug would be to test it on TwntyNinteen theme.
You can use BuddyPress with any theme.
Hi there,
Looking for how to change the number of members displayed in the member loop I ended on this very old topic:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/change-the-number-of-members-to-be-displayed-per-page/
This is obsolete and a better way to do this is now to use a filter in bp-custom.php or the functions.php of your theme as describe in the codex:
Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops
So just posting this in an attempt to prevent others to use this old solution.
Especially given that this old way doesn’t work with WP Rocket cache and a logged in user.
function my_bp_members_per_page( $retval ) {
$retval['per_page'] = 24;
return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_members_parse_args', 'my_bp_members_per_page' );
Regards,
Hi,
I am not aware of any free theme currently but it is going to change in 2020.
We are looking forward to change this completely from 15th January onward. We will provide you with multiple free themes(1st releasing on 15th January). I am looking forward to help make BuddyPress experience pleasant and smooth.
Regards
Brajesh
Hi
We are in the process of releasing a free theme for BuddyPress which should compete with any available premium theme on design/quality.
Since the holidays are here, we are scheduling for 15th January. I am hoping to encourage BuddyPress adoption with our free theme.
Regards
Brajesh
