Hi,
Not sure if this info is useful for you:
My site …regular WordPress & Buddypress, VPS hosting, normal specs, 20,000 members, can get very busy.
Groups are not enabled.
After sitename/activity page loads, there is always an approximately one second delay before the list of activity items loads, 20 at a time.
Activity items includes new friendships, new user registrations, bbpress new forum topics & replies, user profile updates, profile picture updates.
Blog posts are not included.
If however, I use the BuddyPress profile page to change the picture, then the correct image is displayed in the toolbar and wordpress profile page, as well as the buddypress profile.
I discovered that if I delete the ‘Gravatar’ directory in the WordPress installation, the correct images are picked up by the BuddyPress profile.
However, the WordPress profile doesn’t show a profile picture, nor does the top bar.
If I deactivate BuddyPress, then WordPress picks up the Gravatar images correctly.

Hello,
I’m unable to update the profile picture on a subscriber account.
When I attempt to upload an image via the BuddyPress profile page, I get the following message:
‘An error occurred. Please try again later.’
No problem with the admin account.
This is my site:
Courses
If you wanted to see this behaviour please create an account by clicking the login link on the menu.
Once logged in go to:
https://elearning.netmonics.com/members/admin/profile/
Then try to add a profile picture.
WordPress version is 6.9.1.
Issue still occurs with the twenty twenty five theme installed.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

MediaPress is authored and maintained by BuddyDev, you might want to contact their support forum, via either of the following:
I have now created 2 more tickets in addition to this one: #9239, “Add filter hook to bp_email_get_type_schema()” and #9237, “Add privacy column to bp_activity for per-item visibility control.”
I am a BuddyBoss user who has developed several BuddyBoss-related plugins. However, I have decided to migrate to BuddyPress and bring over several features that come packaged with the BuddyBoss Platform plugin to BuddyPress in order to do so. As I work through the migration, I am identifying very small, but useful, contributions that BuddyBoss has made to the BuddyPress version that they merged into their plugin.
I will continue adding more enhancement ticket requests as I work through the migration/extraction.
For reference, see Trac ticket #9327.
For reference, see Trac ticket #9328.
You should submit a ticket with the type set to “enhancement”, with the details you have expressed here, such that your proposal can be considered and dispatched accordingly.
Afterwards, if you decide to submit a PR, the ticket can be referenced which will attach the PR to the ticket.

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.
Hello,
Can I please ask what’s the best way to learn about BuddyPress.
I have looked for tutorials on Youtube but the ones I found are 7 or 8 years out of date. So difficult to get an overview.
I will install the BuddyPress plugin and try and figure things out from scratch if I have to but was just hoping for some background first.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Steve
P.S. Above the form that I’m using to make this request it says to include the wordpress, buddypress versions. I haven’t installed anything yet but they will be the latest as I’m starting from scratch.
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:
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.
For reference, the topic owner (TO) has opened trac ticket 9325
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”.
I have the same problem I work wordpress on a raspberry PI When I istall buddypres and try to create a group I am taking the wrong error “Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.65 (Debian) Server at wpress Port 80”
Thank you for your help

I wand to add that I have no such a problem under “XAMPP” at WIN 11, the above mention proble it happens also to other pages like “friends”, “members”, “Activity”, the theme I am using is the “Di Blog”
Thank you again

For reference on “Caps lock is on” warning – see trac ticket 9324.
Hi!
Thank you for your reply.
“There has been a critical error on this website.” That is exactly what is written on the error page. And then goes on to say, “Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.”
activity page
I’m not sure if I am supposed to edit through Customise, as I noticed you can customise the BuddyPress Nouveau, which includes the front page of the Group and Member, as well as the Directory layouts. I don’t know if that means anything.

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.
Hi,
I have just installed the BuddyPress Version 14.4.0 plugin on my WordPress Version 6.9 site (forallisthroughhim.com), using the Astra theme, and the URLs for the activity streams, members, user groups, register and activate are not working. I get an error message each time I try to view them, which says “There has been a critical error on this website.”
For more information, I installed this because I want to add a community hub within my membership, and without the pages, I cannot create this, nor would I be able to restrict the content (using the Paid Member Subscriptions plugin).
Can someone please help me with this?
Thank you.

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.
