By default, BuddyPress utilizes the “rewrites” URL parser which creates an equivalent of “pages” which are located from the dashboard @ Settings -> Buddypress -> URLs.

If you require “pages” then you will have to install and activate the BP Classic add-on/plugin of which BuddyPress associated pages will show within WordPress “Pages”.

As for wpForo, they claim integration with BuddyPress, so you should ask your integration questions within their wpForum Integration forum.

Wordfence posted this alert on January 22, 2026, which can be found here. Similarly, Patchstack had reported the alert on January 23, 2026, which can be found here.

In either case, both sites indicate that this was patched in BuddyPress version 14.3.4, which the release was announced in March of 2025, approximately 10 months ago. See the following:

• BuddyPress 14.3.4, 12.5.3 & 11.4.4 Security Releases – support forum announcement
• BuddyPress 14.3.4, 12.5.3 & 11.4.4 Security Releases – Blog/News announcement
• BuddyPress 14.3.4, 12.5.3 & 11.4.4 are available – BP Team Updates

Additionally, in the future, you may want to consider refraining from double posting.

@divinel,

There may be some confusion as to what should transpire here. I believe what was expected was that you would share the data from an “error log” as opposed to the generic WordPress (WP) error message of “There has been a critical error on this website.”

The link that is included in the generic WP error message should have eventually led you to information regarding, to paraphrase, “How to Troubleshoot” for example, this situation may be related to a “plugin conflict” whereby steps could be taken to isolate the conflict, see A Plugin is causing compatibility issues. Have you tried deactivating plugins other than BuddyPress in an attempt to determine whether a “plugin conflict” exists?

Furthermore, there is information about Debugging in WordPress, this information will help you configure WP such that you could provide/share error data from an error log, which is what the other moderator was asking you to share.

Note: there are plugins that can facilitate the configuration for debugging, that information is found near the bottom of the “Debugging in WordPress” page.

What is the model of the iPhone and what is the version of the Safari browser that you are using?

Better yet, a ticket might be more appropriate for this situation, use the following link to submit a ticket:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

I was able to locate someone with an iPhone and I wasn’t able to duplicate the issue you described:

With:

• WordPress 6.9
• BuddyPress 14.4.0
• Twenty Eleven theme
• iPhone 16 Pro
• ios 26.2 <- Safari browser

Steps:
Pressing the “Select your file” button produces the following selections:

• Photo Library
• Take Photo or Video
• Choose file

Selected and uploaded a photo from the “Photo Library” which uploaded successfully, i.e., “Your new cover image was uploaded successfully”.

For reference on “Caps lock is on” warning – see trac ticket 9324.

The “Caps lock is on” message and the large “top arrow” indicates that the file containing the CSS rule for the warning has not been enqueued. This feature was first introduced in WordPress 6.9 and can be duplicated when the BP Nouveau template pack is active, however, this should not prevent the registration of new members.

When time allows, I’ll open a ticket to address the issue of “Caps lock is on” and large icon showing when the registration page is first displayed/rendered when the BP Nouveau template pack is active/enabled. The workaround, for now, is to perform one of the following:

• Click anywhere on the page to dismiss the warning message and icon. Note: the warning message & associated icon will reappear if “Caps lock” is enabled on a new registrant’s keyboard
• Temporarily switch to the BP Legacy template pack until a fix has been implemented in a new BuddyPress release.
• Roll back to WordPress version 6.8.x (current version of the WordPress 6.8 branch) until a fix has been implemented in a new BuddyPress release.

As to “Can’t register new users”, you will have to provide additional info/details as to what part of the registration flow is preventing the completion for new registrations.

Hi! We have tested the soon-to-be released BuddyPress 14.5.0 with WordPress 6.9 and haven’t found any issue yet. I personally tested with the Astra theme too.

“There has been a critical error on this website.”

Could you share the error you see? That will help me try to identify the issue.

For reference, the Topic Owner (TO) has opened Trac Ticket #9322 (Bug report at the core for the members loop).

If you are referring to the “built-in” search form on the Members directory page, it searches all xprofile fields that have entries in the bp_xprofile_data table, as well as, the “users table” (“user_login” or “user_nicename”) for the given search term. Additionally, the query is based on the “Like” operator with a “wildcard” (%) in front and after the search term, e.g., LIKE '%" . $searh_term . "%'".

In essence, a word such as “usable” will return as a hit for a search term of “usa”. So, what you will, most likely, want is a more advanced search capability of which you can:

• Code it yourself – see flexibility in members loop, caveat: this is old information but it provides insight as to how to go about it, sans a search form.
• Give the BP Profile Search plugin a try to see if it fits your needs.

Other than the above examples, there are available commercial plugins that you should be able to find on you own.

You should create your own topic with specificity to your situation, instead of making comments on topics that are outdated and quite possibly irrelevant.

Closing this topic due to the nature of it’s age (6 years old).

FWIW: “Last Active” comes from an entry within the “bp_activity” table with the “type” field/column equal to “last_activity” of which the date is taken from the “date_recorded” field/column and this entry (last_active) is, typically required for a user/member to show within the “members directory” page. Thus, at this point, it doesn’t make sense that these imported users show with the “Alphabetical” filter and not with the other indicated filters. However, there is the possibility of a plugin or custom code that might be interfering with the query results.

The “Newest Registered” comes from the “user_registered” field/column of the WordPress “user” table.

What you posted was the error message provided by WordPress. If this is a production site, you should have access to the error log via your hosting services cpanel or equivalent interface.

Typically, when a block theme is in use, there won’t be a “Menus” option/section under “Appearance”. For a block theme, WordPress has some basic information about creating menu items at the following:

Site Editor navigation

Additionally, there is some limited info located at the following, as it pertains to BuddyPress menu items:
