Hi @pixieblitz The most simple way is too put all your fields into the default profile tab from the fields WP Admin.
You can probably list all fields on the edit screen on the front-end overriding the template from your child theme. You should have a look at https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/
That really depends on your theme. You can use your browser’s inspector to see what CSS rules are causing the layout, then override them by adding custom rules to your site via the customizer or by using a child theme.

I suspect the problem is with your modal-based login. Try TwentyNineteen temporarily to see if the issue persists.
It sounds like you may have to disable the BP no access redirect with your theme.
HI @discovered96-
That’s interesting. With the Legacy template, the activity stream is built and served as part of the page, so it sounds like a theme display issue. Can you try your site with a basic theme like TwentyNineteen to see if the issue persists?
Hi David
We are using Legacy, do you have any tips for this theme? 🙂
Are you using the Legacy or Nouveau template set? If you are using Nouveau, the activity items are loaded via AJAX, so there could be a delay if your server doesn’t respond quickly to the AJAX request, but there should be a box that says “loading the activity items or similar”.
Please also test this problem with a basic theme like TwentyNineteen, since I can imagine that some themes will use lazy loading techniques or similar that could be problematic.
Hi @chrix22-
I don’t think that that is a core BuddyPress screen. Are you adding it via a plugin or the theme you’ve chosen? If so, you’ll need to seek support there.
Hi,
I made a small dating site and since a few days, users can not send private message.
I use the last version of WP, BP and my theme is Gwangi.

I do not known where is the issue as it works in the past.
Thanks.
Hi! I’m using the latest version of WP and BP, with a CologMag child theme and the Legacy BP templates.
When editing a members profile, I’d like all their profile fields to show up without having to click through separate tabs and reload new pages for the basic Primary field group and the Details section. I think our members aren’t noticing that they even have extra fields group to fill out… and we have so few fields that it doesn’t make sense to load them separately for editing purposes. (I just split them up to avoid cluttering the registration form.)
I’m guessing I’d have to modify the edit.php file, but I don’t know what changes to make to get the result I’m looking for. Any pointers would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
Sure thing. I hope you will keep me updated as well. I have tried numerous themes and it is the same on each. Are you using Nouveau buddypress theme or legacy?
support from buddypress direct sadly has not been forthcoming…except doing what i have alread tried. will check theme – I will letyou know if i have any luck! thank you for the message
When I activate RTMedia or MediaPress the “Whats New Form” on the Members Activity page disappears. It still shows up on Site-Wide Activity. It also shows up with Legacy Template instead of the Nouveau. I have tried multiple themes with the same result. I believe it has something to do with the CSS. Almost like it just runs out of room, but I have extremely limited skill with any code so I cannot track it down past that.
@alysonmac I am fighting a similar issue. I install and activate rtmedia or mediapress and the whats new form all, but disappears on the members activity. It shows up on the site-wide activity page though. I have been researching this for a bit now and think it might have something to do with the Buddypress Nouveau Theme and the CSS. I am still working to find a solution.
@dcavins, when I say I removed the xprofile_sync function, that was part of your suggested code. More precisely, I removed the function from the action and then added your revised function. I guess that should not prevent the forum name from being set and yet it apparently does. Well, your bullet items are good info, especially that first one. I will look at this again.
What IS the BP nickname field, if it doesn’t use that? Maybe I’ll need to ask on the bbpress forum. Thanks again, I’ll see what I can do with this information. I’m starting to smell my theme being involved.
Thanks, that’s exactly what I’m doing with a fresh install of WordPress, BuddyPress and having the Twenty Twenty theme active and I can’t reproduce.
The only explaination I see is there’s some custom code editing the query. Custom code can be:
1- into the functions.php of the active theme or active child theme,
2- into a /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file,
3- into any file located in the folder /wp-content/mu-plugins,
4- into a plugin.
That’s why we generally ask to deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress, switch the active theme to a Twenty “Something theme” and remove files of point 2 and 3.
Reading our thread so far, you already did that testing right?
Hi,
I recently replaced whats-new by tinymce. After some customizations, that’s what it looks like (groups): Screenshot
To do that, I took a copy of post-form.php from the legacy theme (/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/post-form.php) and replaced the file of the nouveau theme (/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/buddypress/activity/post.form)
Then I changed the code and now it is:
do_action( 'bp_before_activity_post_form' ); ?>
<div id="whats-new-content" >
<div id="whats-new-textarea">
<label for="whats-new" class="bp-screen-reader-text"><?php
/* translators: accessibility text */
_e( 'Post what\'s new', 'buddypress' );
?></label>
<?php
$content = '';
$editor_id = 'whats-new';
$settings = array(
'teeny' => false,
'media_buttons' => false,
// 'textarea_rows' => 5,
'editor_height' => 100,
'drag_drop_upload' => false,
'quicktags' => false );
wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, $settings );
?>
</div>
<div id="whats-new-options">
<div id="whats-new-submit">
<input type="submit" name="aw-whats-new-submit" id="aw-whats-new-submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Post', 'buddypress' ); ?>" />
</div>
In the code I added, the height of tinymce is 100px but it is always launched with 134px height.
It works with 100px height only with the “teeny” version, but this version doesn’t show the image button I added (using a snippet) and the smiley button (from the wp-monalisa plugin).
I tried to fix the problem with css and the only selector that seems to work is iframe#whats-new_ifr but I cannot use !important to override this, because it affects the autoresizing feature.
I thought that I could modify it directly on its system file, but I cannot locate it using the plugin “String Locator”
Any idea? I don’t like to leave it with this height, because it is somehow ugly.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I have this snippert, that figures out if the logged-in user is man or woman!
—————————————————————————-
add_filter (‘bp_ajax_querystring’, ‘modify_members_loop’, 20, 2);
function modify_members_loop ($qs=false, $object=false)
{
global $wpdb;
if ($object != ‘members’) return $qs;
// figure out if the logged-in user is man or woman
$gender = xprofile_get_field_data (3, bp_loggedin_user_id ());
if ($gender == ‘Man’)
$query = “SELECT user_id FROM {$wpdb->prefix}bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = 3 AND value = ‘Woman'”;
else
$query = “SELECT user_id FROM {$wpdb->prefix}bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = 3 AND value = ‘Man'”;
$custom_ids = $wpdb->get_col ($query);
$args = wp_parse_args ($qs);
$args[‘include’] = implode (‘,’, $custom_ids);
$qs = build_query ($args);
return $qs;
}
——————————————————————————–
The problem is, that it doesn’t work with the widgets, who’s online…etc.
So does anyone know, how to fix that?
Note: A loggede in man, should only be able to see women’s profiles and women should be able to see men’s, even if a woman/man, try to search for their own gender!
Best regards
This is a very interesting subject. I am using buddypress for different projects since 2014. I would like to express my point of view, not as a developer (my development skills are limited) but as business coach.
If I see buddypress as a project, I think that there is a problem with the goal. Buddypress provides a networking solution and its orientation is supposed to be user experience enhancement.
It seems that the team is oriented towards the technical side of the project. So they make technical improvements that may be important but the final user will never see and doesn’t care about. For ex. with the latest version, I saw a modification of the password verification system while at the same time members cannot block annoying users with this messaging system, they cannot upload a photo using the “whats-new” form and there is no reporting system to keep your network clean.
There is no media component which is important for a social network. No likes, no sharing, no global searchtool etc
You have to install a lot of plugins and frequently fight with conflicts. Plugins should exist for special features not for basic ones.
If I had to manage buddypress as a project I would invite buddypress users on this site to give feedback on what features they consider important to be implemented. Then I would make an agenda to implement them using code from existing plugins.
Since 2014 I saw only two things that enhance user experience: autolinks and a better theme.
I hope that my point of view helps to define a project orientation that, in my opinion, is not very clear now.
@ventuius,
I can’t get my head around this one. I’ve disabled all plugins, reverted to Twenty Nighteen theme.
Removed all custom functions in functions.php.
I still have the same issue.
Activity in the hidden group displaying another hidden groups activity and also random user activity (new user registered) when clicking ‘load newest’. There must be a bug here.
Appreciate you looking at this
Hi @imath,
Thank you so much for getting back to me. I’ve made contact with BuddyBoss and they have confirmed that it’s no theme issue.
I have carried out the following:
– Disable all plugins
– Removed Custom functions.php on Child theme
– Switched to Twenty Nighteen theme
– Switched between BuddyPress Template Pack
– Completed a BuddyPress repair
The issue still persists.
If I visit a hidden group then go to ‘activity’ scroll down to the bottom of the group ‘load more’. This will then load activity from other hidden groups.
I’ve had to temporarily close the site until we have a fix.
Appreciate your time and help.
Hi,
First I’m sorry to read about these issues. I’ve just tested the first item of your list with latest BuddyPress, WordPress and Twenty Nineteen theme.
I confirm that when I’m on the activity page of an hidden group and after scrolling down to load more activities, only the activities of this group are displayed.
Have you tried to deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress, remove custom code, and switch to a Twenty “Something” theme to see if you still had the issue?
About 404 on posts page, is it when you click on a the link of an activity relative to a page (meaning you activated the Site Tracking component and added some custom code to track the page post type) ?
About BuddyBoss Media, have you tried to reach their support team ?
FYI, this support topic explains how you can trouble shoot in case of issues, I advise you to read it.
Hi @imath
im trying to expand the [bc_members] shortcode..
I want to be able to do a search term .. something like [bc_members search_term=’my-search-term’]
Maybe something like…
array( 'id' => 'search_term', 'type' => 'string', 'default' => '', 'required' => false, 'caption' => __( 'search results', 'bowe-codes' ) ),
anecdotally — when i use the bowe codes in my theme with php echo do_shortcode("[bc_members]");
it works with http://www.MyDomain.com/?s=search+term
any thoughts
Hey All,
Im looking for a great looking simple free theme.
Anyone have any ideas how to find such an elusive Free Buddypress THEME?
@imath
@sbrajesh
@buddyboss
any thoughts gents?
I turned on Nouveau for the first time, and I’m noticing that the Total Count for Sites and for Members is only showing the first two digits of the count. This isn’t an issue specific to 5.0; it was occurring on 4.4.0 as well based on some quick testing. This doesn’t occur in the Legacy template. I’m seeing this with a default theme as well. Anyone else noticing this? I’m deactivating plugins now looking for a conflict, but so far it seems like an issue with the Nouveau template pack.
Here’s a couple of screenshots:
