It is really only so much we can do with the info provided, and as @hnla stated it is a guess as to what could be wrong. Maybe you should consider hiring a developer. If you decide too then you can leave your job and contact info here:

Good luck!

Do you mean a WordPress tag cloud as in wp_tag_cloud()?

<?php 
wp_tag_cloud( array( 'number' => '8' ) ); 
?>

Found where to create a Trac and have done that.

I am having this exact problem, too, @hnla. The same thing was happening awhile back, and somehow it was resolved… but now it’s back.

I am using WordPress 3.6.1 and BuddyPress 1.8.1
I have created a custom child theme to the bp-default. I have tried disabling my child theme, and the same issue persists.

I am unable to find a download for 1.8 to revert the registration.php page. (Found lots of information about 1.8, but not an actual download.)

THank you for your help.

(I am also happy to create a Trac ticket, but I’m not sure where/how to do that.)

First thing I would do is refresh or change my permalinks settings…this could be why you are having that issue. If that doesn’t work, make sure your .htaccess file is up to par, you can google for the right settings for your site depending on whether you are a Multisite or Single wordpress install.

@cappiels you’d need a custom plugin to pull that off. Or, tweak https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect/ or a purchase http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddypress-facebook-connect-advance-facebook-loginregistration-plugin-for-your-buddypress-based-social-network/

Did you remove it from this file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.8.1/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/activity.php

I hope you’re using a child theme of the BP Default theme instead of making those changes on that theme in your server. Otherwise, your changes will be overwritten when BP is updated.

You would not see the button on your own members directory listing. Have you tried creating a test user and logging in to see if the button is there? I am for hire if you need help and you can contact me here if you have a budget to work with.

@cpagan2000 thanks SO much for coming back and posting that code! I have literally searched for hours to try and fix my problem that my site, which has been running over a year spam free, all of a sudden was getting SLAMMED with spam registrations because BuddyPress hijacked my registration page and I couldn’t figure out how to make it stop.

For anyone else who finds this thread, you have to create the bp-custom.php file and put it in your wp-content/plugins folder (contrary to all the other information out there on the web – – SO CONFUSING!!) I tried to put in in my functions.php and it just wouldn’t work. You can find more information on customizing BuddyPress by following the link above that @bp-help posted above.

This information should really be easily accessible. No one should ever have to search this hard to fix this type of issue. That is why I made a point to come back and thank pagan and add the missing info that I had to track down to fully understand the situation.

@kvschwartz
Have you tried:

BuddyPress Notifications Widget

Or:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddymenu-buddylinks/
?

No what you are describing having started is a theme compat approach renaming page.php to buddypress.php ( that can be located for neatness in /buddypress/ or /community/; mercim’s post directly related to using the now older bp-default theme files copied over now you have started on theme compat stick with it, your issue is going to be that the theme does something to mess up page.php BP needs that file to adhere to WP template principles you must have a proper loop with the_title() and the_content() tags in place

@kvschwartz
Don’t you think this would throw people off? You add friends by searching the members directory. How else would one determine if they want to be friends with this other person?
Answer to b) I have a plugin that will add data to the members directory.

I thought about offering it free but after further consideration I decided to offer it for a VERY reasonable price. Contact me here if you are interested in purchasing it:
