BuddyPress.org

Hello @r-a-y
I am also using fresh WordPress setup, but still facing the issue. Here are the setup environment details:
WordPress: 4.9.7
BuddyPress: 3.1.0
Twenty Seventeen: 1.6

I enabled script debugging by adding following code to wp-config.php:
define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );

The issue is arriving when I am opening customizer from any page, either I am in Appearance section or Pages.

I tried one setting in BuddyPress and issue gone. I changed Template Pack from BuddyPress Nouveau to BuddyPress Legacy in Admin Panel > Settings > BuddyPress > Options tab > Main Settings > Template Pack.

When changed “Template Pack” to “BuddyPress Legacy” it’s not loading any js containing wp.customize.control, so it’s not generating any error.

this might be closer to what you are looking for: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-verified/

Sorry, I cannot duplicate this on a fresh install of WordPress 4.9.7 and BuddyPress 3.1.0, using Twenty Seventeen and launching the Customizer.

Any steps to duplicate from a fresh install? What page are you attempting to launch the customizer from?

If you want to help debug the uncompressed javascript, add the following to wp-config.php:

define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );

And note down the JS console message.

Thank you for this report and suggested fix.

BuddyPress Simple Events

The plugin has been updated.

No it is not theme specific,
As I posted in my query, in basic troubleshooting I changed the theme, and issue remained.
It was persisting with default theme and our custom themes as well. The issue also persisted when we installed the demo wordpress website from the scratch.

What I’m asking is, is a user suppose to get a separate email with the activation code that they copy paste into?

When a user completes registration, the user should get an activation email which looks like this:

Thanks for registering!

To complete the activation of your account, go to the following link: example.com/activate/XXX/

XXX is the activation key. When the user clicks on this link, the activation page should show a form with the activation key already populated. The user has to submit the form to activate their account.

For those with custom themes, that activation key might not be automatically populated into the form. This has caused a few support forum threads like this one to pop up.

The fix for custom themes is noted here:

BuddyPress 3.1.0 is now available!

If you are not using a custom BuddyPress theme, then you can also try changing your theme to a WordPress default one to see if your problem still exists.

@sushant88 @tushar4monto Does this occur with all themes or a specific one?

If it is a specific theme, is the theme freely available on the wordpress.org theme repository? If so, which one?

We already have a ticket about this:

The problem is with BP Better Messages:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-if-user-isnt-logged-in/

I tested the plugin in BP v2.9.4 and v3.1.0 and when not logged in, the link 404s and doesn’t redirect either way.

A way to fix this is if the plugin added a subnav at this line:
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/bp-better-messages/trunk/inc/component.php#L170

// Add the subnav items to the profile.
$sub_nav[] = array(
	'name'            => 'Inbox',
	'slug'            => 'inbox',
	'parent_url'      => trailingslashit( bp_displayed_user_domain() . $this->slug ),
	'parent_slug'     => $this->slug,
	'screen_function' => array( $this, 'set_screen' ),
	'position'        => 10,
	'user_has_access' => bp_is_my_profile()
);

Or BP Better Messages could write their own redirector code if the user isn’t logged in.

A couple of us replied to the Trac ticket that Dave posted:

In order to avoid forking the discussion, I’m going to close this thread.

For bug reports there is https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ by default BP does not use the email address to create the username. If your site is doing that then something is changing the default behaviour of BuddyPress.

BP essentally uses the same login as WordPress, there’s a lot of ways of customising it though, depending on your knowledge. There’s various custom login plugins, including Theme My Login, which allows you to change a lot of the login functionality.

BuddyPress provides the following
Extended User Profiles
Groups
Messaging
Friends
Activity

Forums can be added to groups if you install bbPress.

For standalone forums you only need bbPress

@redshujin – Change your theme temporarily to a WordPress default theme and give it another try.

If that doesn’t work, set up a fresh install of WordPress (either locally or somewhere else on your server) and only have the BuddyPress plugin activated. Next, attempt to upload a photo. If that works, then it has something to do with your particular install. Probably due to a plugin.

Someone reported an issue involving 404s that might be related to this forum thread.

To those experiencing 404s with custom profile or group subnav pages, can you try the following fix?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7931/7931.01.patch

I just implemented this approach.

I’m still reviewing the impact but so far so good I guess. Took out the part referencing buddyblog since I’m not using that plugin.

I am having this issue on our site. It is running KLEO Child theme. When a user tries to upload an image for the avatar you will only see a small box in the left top hand corner of where the picture preview should be. I have tried Chrome and Firefox browsers in which this happens on both. I have attempted to deactivate plugins and am not seeing this resolving. Please let me know what additional troubleshooting that you would like to see done or tested and I would be glad to do what I can to assist

WordPress 4.9.7
BuddyPress 3.1.0

What you could do is use something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-404-redirect-to-homepage/ and configure that to redirect ll 404’s to the login page.
