As of BuddyPress 1.7, you no longer need to make a child theme of bp-default to make your changes.
Follow this guide:
Theme Compatibility – Customizing
This is an example of customizing the Twenty Twelve theme:
Twenty Twelve Theme
When sending a private message to someone you are given the option to add recipients to the conversation using the Sent-to field. When typing in that field it will provide a dropdown where you could select the user to populate the field with. This dropdown has stopped working.
I have had no updates. Still using Buddypress 2.1 and WordPress 3.9. I tested with all other plugins disabled, I’ve disabled and reenabled buddypress and tried with Theme TwentyThirteen.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
i found an error in your css file. I read this media query:
@media screen and (max-device-width: 480px), screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {
-webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
}
This rules does’nt work because it is semantically incorrect.
Normally the plugin works fine but if you try to minify your css file (I tested it with w3 total cache), the minify file generates an error and doesn’t work correctly.
Please, can you fix this ?
Thanks
Andrea
P.s.: I found this error on bbpress and buddypress wordpress plugins.
Hi @prometheus-fire
The core team are aware of the problem. See here for the fix:

Problems with activity stream ?
Please read here:
Changes to bp_has_activities() queries in BP 2.1
@marcella1981 – You should read this article about activity pagination on the BP development blog:
Changes to bp_has_activities() queries in BP 2.1
I’ve found 99% the mobile issues I’ve come across can be fixed with a little CSS. The one persistent issue is uploading Avatars (Profile Pictures) via Mobile. Here are the primary challenges.
1. “jcrop-holder” and the “avatar-crop-preview” within the Avatar Upload Form are too large for smart phonea and end up off the right side of the screen.
2. Image orientation – Images uploaded from a smart phone will randomly show up sideways. I have found no pattern to why this happens and to make things more confusing, while the image appears sideways on the phone, they’ll sometimes show up correctly when viewed on a desktop. Only solution I can think of is an image rotate option could help.
3. Some mobile images won’t upload. I’ve only had this happen a few times, but some users have also reported this. The image will be an iPhone photo, one will upload and one next to it will not.
For #1, I have changed the default Avatar dimensions to 300×300 then used CSS to shrink it back to 150×150 to make the website full resolution on retnia displays, which does add to the problem, because the jcrop holder inherits the dimensions in the BP Custom file.
Just wanted to point these out because I’m seeing more people registering for the site via smart phone to almost “test” it out to see if it’s cool enough to spend time on, and uploading their avatar seems to be a bottleneck for mobile registrations. It’s usually the first thing people do when they register, and probably seen as an indication of the site functionality.
Great job on the release of 2.1! Some really exciting additions and improvements!
viva la BuddyPress!
Running WordPress 4.0 Multisite, BuddyPress 2.1, 2014 Theme, lots of plugins (Related to images: “Resize Image After Upload”, “Easy Fancy Box”, “BP Gallery” and “Pretty Gallery”).
@dhuntsha Just open up the file/s you made changes in and revert the changes. Then download zip file of BP 2.0.3 near the bottom of this page https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0.3, unzip it, and upload the files to your server via s/FTP.
Salutation is pointing the finger at v.2.1
@forlath Salutation needs to be updated for compatibility with BP 2.1 or the solution might just be this patch https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5889/5889.01.patch
Thanks. I was trying to edit the file shown in this post:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/5889/5889.01.patch
I only added the, “wp_enqueue….” line and went to update the file and now nothing works. The entire site won’t load, and I can’t login to wordpress.
Yikes. I guess I’ll need to call my main website host provider ‘Bluehost’ to get some help. I have no clue what I did wrong. Thanks.
@willandmae You’re welcome! Took me a Sunday to figure out properly …
So… I opened my very first, corresponding ticket and pull request. Hope that helps.
bp-default is on the way to be removed from BP to became a independant theme…. No idea how and when, but if you want that issue be solved, thought you have to open a ticket on Trac.
BP Default Theme – moving forward with BP 1.9
Concerning any child-theme user:
BP 2.1 use CSS minifying, so if you use a buddypress.css file within your child, you have to rename this file buddypress.min.css or better, you minify really that file (eg. online tinyfier)
By doing so, you’ll prevent some site parts to be incorrectly displayed. And perhaps help some scripts to run the right way after 2.1 update.

Hi Everyone, and @imath thanks for all your awesome contributions to BuddyPress!!
On the topic of media, I wanted to point some attention to BuddyDev, so everyone who is interested in a BuddyPress media plugin can support his MediaPress efforts.
I’ve used every media plugin I could get my hands on and it currently boils down to two;
1. RT Media: (+) A lot of great features, mostly free, support for free version. (-)Very buggy, interferers with other plugins, caused site wide performance issues (for me).
2. BP Gallery (+) Simple, easy. (-) Need to pay for it or get a membership. I found a small mobile upload bug.
(Kinda 3). BP Album: No longer supported and it’s Googlecode page ironically is missing all it’s media.
So, a third option I’m sure would be widely appreciated. He’s saying it will always be free and hook into current WordPress media functionality, so I’m excited! Here’s the link for those interested, http://buddydev.com/mediapress/
I think this might be a bug with the new BuddyPress 2.1. I’ve been experiencing the same problem since the update and it seems to occur randomly.
I’ve tested it across multiple profiles and on different computer and it’s hit or miss. I’m running WordPress 4.0, the default 2014 theme, and BuddyPress 2.1.
Just wanted to chime in because I’m experience the same issue with the default 2014 theme.
Hi together,
looks as progress like @mentions were forgotten to get ported back to good ol’ bp-default.
In bp-activity/js/mentions.js you’ll find on what elements @mentions should work:
// Activity/reply, post comments, dashboard post 'text' editor.
$( '<strong>.bp-suggestions</strong>, #comments form textarea, .wp-editor-area' ).bp_mentions( users );
Here’s how to get @mentions working for bp-default theme:
1) Prevent JavaScript errors occurring by inaccurate enqueued scripts – apply this patch: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5889#comment:6
2) Extend textareas by missing class ‘bp-suggestions’. Change bp-themes/bp-default/activity/post-form.php:30 to
<textarea class="bp-suggestions" name="whats-new" id="whats-new" cols="50" rows="10"><?php if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) : ?>@<?php echo esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] ); ?> <?php endif; ?></textarea>
and bp-themes/bp-default/activity/entry.php:100 to
<textarea id="ac-input-<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>" class="ac-input bp-suggestions" name="ac_input_<?php bp_activity_id(); ?>"></textarea>
@danbp How can we make sure this will considered for a 2.1.1 release?
Thanks and regards
I use Vellum wordpress theme
BP’s xProfile component is not intended to be used as text editor, like the one you use to publish posts.
So far i know, ACF plugin doesn’t handle xprofile fields. But you can use it on Group component.
More about ACF
Buddypress Activity Privacy might work . I will give it a go.
I need to add to the members profile fields a special field – a kind of an Edit Box. This Edit Box should have the functionality of WordPress standard page/post editor.
Out of the box Buddypress supports text Box or Multi-Line Text Area but this is not enouph for my client needs.
I saw somewhere that “Advanced Custom Fields” plugin can do the job.
Dose anyone can sho me how please? or maybe attach a link to an example/tutorial?
Regards
I. lesher
Thank You Sir,
But among the field types offered there is no “Edit Box” with functionality of editor. The maximum features that is close to my demand is a multi-line text are. I need the an edit box with similar features as the page/post edit box in WordPress.
Can you furtehr help please?
Thanks in advance
Izack Lesher
PS.:
margin: 0 9.46429%;
I guess, it’s not the reason for the misfuncting; but however – due to other theme modifications (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-a-better-usage-of-my-blog-space?replies=2#post-6034077) – I should choose 2.5% (instead of 9.46429), isn’t it?
