I’d try switching to BP Nouveau, then a default theme and then deactivating the other plugins to see if that changes it.

Thanks, have you overloaded any of the BP template files? located in themes/yourchildtheme/buddypress

So which theme are you using? BP Legacy or BP Nouveau?

So if I understand you correctly, you are not seeing another tab beside Base on the profile page. Which BP Theme are you using? does it fail with either BP theme?

Have you added any custom functions or overloaded the members page/s. Does it do this with either BP Theme? Also, how about trying a different local server?

Hi there, did you find a fix for this? It sounds like a theme related issue in that secondary pages would seem to be a feature of your theme. Did you check the page theme settings, sometimes themes install a meta-box that allows you to change the page format, this is usually on the right sidebar when you edit the page.

Hi there,

You are going to have to troubleshoot this issue as it’s specific to your site and not something that’s a more general problem.

The first thing t do is to deactivate all plugins apart from BuddyPress and see if the friends lists are correct. If not then try a default theme such as 2016 to see if that corrects it.

It’s also worth turning on error logging in wp-config.php https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress

Once you have enabled debugging, any errors will be logged to your debug log, you can get error log viewer plugins to make viewing it easier. Try viewing the friends list and then reviewing the log to see if any errors are being generated.

Hi there,

It’s a bit difficult to know exactly what issue you are reporting. Does it do this with the other plugins deactivated and with a default theme? also, have you overloaded any of the BP pages? if so then those pages will need to be updated. Your theme may also be overloading pages and may need to be updated.

Hi,
Before deciding to redirect from sitewide activity to user’s own activity you should know the difference between them and then decide.

– On the sitewide page a user can see activity from whole site(including his won/friends/his groups and any non related member of the site)

– On profile, a user can see his/her won activity as well as friends/groups etc but activities of group they are not member of or activity of users they are not friends with, won’t be visible,

If you still want to redirect from sitewide activity to user’s own activity, You may use the following code.

/**
 * Redirect logged in user's from sitewide activity page to profile activity.
 */
function buddydev_redirect_sitewide_activity_to_profile_activity() {

	if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_activity_directory() ) {
		bp_core_redirect( bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_activity_slug() );
	}
}

add_action( 'bp_template_redirect', 'buddydev_redirect_sitewide_activity_to_profile_activity' );

PS:- you can put the code in your theme’s functions.php or in the wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

The next thing to check is if there is something messing with the BP pages, so deactivate all other plugins apart from BuddyPress and install a default theme such as 2016 and see if they display.

Do you want to override template files? If yes, the first step is to find out which template pack you are using(Dashboard->settings->BuddyPress->Options).

BuddyPress comes with 2 template packs
– BP Legacy
– BP Nouveau

Once you know the template pack, you can follow the following step

1. create a directory named “buddypress” in your theme
2. Now visit wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates, you will see two directories
– bp-legacy
– bp-nouveau
3. Based on your current template pack, visit that directory. You will find “buddypress” directory inside them. This is the directory of your interest. Copy files from there and maintain the path.

For example, if bp-legacy is your current template pack and you want to modify members loop,

you should copy wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/members-loop.php to yourtheme/buddypress/members/members-loop.php

Note the path after the template pack is what we need to maintain. Once you override it, BuddyPress will use it form your theme.

Please do note that themes do not allow you to specify template pack while overriding template files, so if you override it for one template pack and then activate another, It can lead to a lot of issues.

My suggestion is to remove/rename the “buddypress” directory in your theme if you change the current template pack for BuddyPress.

Hope this helps.

so the directory structure should look like this:

themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/file.php etc. can you confirm this is what you have got?

Would you have a plugin or theme that is redirecting the buddypress default template search?

Quite a few of my users also wish to be able to crop their cover photos. Is there custom code I can add to allow users to do this? I haven’t found it on any of the forum posts so far and most are over a year old. This seems to be the most recent.

For those searching, here’s the codex of cover images (group and profile) and tells you how to customize the image size that you will accept for this area, but still not telling you how to allow cropping.

BuddyPress Cover Images

I’m on Version 4.1.0

You’d have to do something like this:

function venutius_start() {
     
    if( function_exists( 'bp_register_template_stack' ) ) {
        bp_register_template_stack( 'venutius_register_template_location' );
	}
    // if viewing a member page, overload the template
    if ( bp_is_user()  ) {
        if ( bp_get_theme_package_id() == 'legacy' ) {
			add_filter( 'bp_get_template_part', 'venutius_replace_template_legacy', 10, 3 );
		}
        if ( bp_get_theme_package_id() == 'nouveau' ) {
			add_filter( 'bp_get_template_part', 'venutius_replace_template_nouveau', 10, 3 );
		}
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'venutius_start' );

function venutius_register_template_location() {
    return <directory>; //replace with the main directory you are putting your new template files in
}

function venutius_replace_template_nouveau( $templates, $slug, $name ) {
    switch($slug) {

	case 'members/single/profile/change-avatar' :
		if ( '<your_directory>/members/single/profile/change-avatar.php' ) ) {
			return array( 'members/single/profile/change-avatar.php' );
			break;
		} else {
			return $templates;
			break;
		}

	}
	return $templates;
}

function venutius_replace_template_legacy( $templates, $slug, $name ) {
    switch($slug) {
	case 'members/single/profile/change-avatar' :
		if ( file_exists( '<your directory>/'members/single/profile/change-avatar.php' ) ) {
			return array( 'members/single/profile/change-avatar.php' );
			break;
		} else {
			return $templates;
                        break;
		}

	}
	return $templates;
}

Something like that should work, not tested it though but you should get the idea.

Hi there, presumably you have changed to the BP Nouveau theme, in this case the action hook name has changed from bp_before_profile_avatar_upload_content to bp_before_member_avatar_upload_content.
