It’s a bug made by a change in 1.6; we are sorry, and we’ll fix it soon. Keep an eye on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4215
I suspect that it is this ‘fix’ that has broken the functionality: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4215
i use a modified version of salutation wordpress theme
I have just upgraded our BuddyPress installation to 1.6 from the last 1.5 release, and I have run the upgrade wizard. Unfortunatly after the upgrade all BuddyPress pages in the front-end just return blank (a 200 response but no body data, just the HTTP-header is sent). The non-BP parts of the front end and all of the back-end is still working fine. All pages are displayed when I temporarily switched to the default BP-theme, so it’s a Gantry compatibility issue.
Does anyone have any suggestion on how I can get Gantry to display the BuddyPress pages again? What might have changed in 1.6 since the last 1.5 release that can cause it? Any suggestion on how I can patch Gantry BuddyPress to get it to work again?
WordPress 3.4.1
BuddyPress 1.6
Gantry 1.24
Gantry BuddyPress 1.2
Gantry Template Framework 1.24
It’s not possible out of the box. You could set it with some custom code. You could also raise this as an enhancement ticket on BuddyPress.trac.WordPress.org, as it’s possible to do this with regular HTML tags, and there might be an argument for making this possible with BuddyPress, too.
If you need *some* data, use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-default-data/
If you need *tons* of data, use https://github.com/boonebgorges/bp-mega-populate
We use the second plugin to test BP against millions of bits of data.
That sounds pretty cool. Performance improvements to our database structure/SQL queries is something we started in 1.6 release, and have big plans for the future. If you’re willing and able to share your experiences with that aspect, check out https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4060 — or create your own tickets if you found good performance optimisations in other areas other than querying members
Did you write a script to migrate from Elgg to BuddyPress (something you could open source?) or was it very manual?
Glad you like it! Please can you report the notifications error as a bug on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org please — you can use the username and password that you use on this site to log in. Thanks.
Unfortunately not. It’s a good idea for an enhancement (to be able to get activities by date). Please could you post this as an enhancement ticket on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org? Thanks. You can use your username and password from this site to log into that other site.
Does BuddyPress work fine on the main site after the upgrade? What version of WordPress are you using?
We can add one for you. Please raise an enhancement request on https://buddypres.trac.wordpress.org. You can use your username and password from this site to log into Trac. Thanks!
If you’ve been unable to recreate the problem yourself, it makes it very difficult for us to recreate it. If you figure out how to recreate it, let us know.
@rogercoathup After going through the Installation Wizard where a Forums page with the “forums” slug was automatically created https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/bp16-install-03.jpg the first thing I do is to go to Settings > BuddyPress > Pages and select “none” for the Forums page and save. Then I go to Settings > Forums and make sure the archive base is “forums” and that in the BuddyPress section in same panel, made sure that the “Enable Group Forums” option is not checked. Open up the “Forums” page and I just add the bbPress shortcode/s etc
EDIT – djpaul, didn’t see you there when I answered roger’s post 
@shawn38, it wasn’t at theme’s folder but in child theme and site public root.
As recomended at WordPress Codex it goes to the current theme’s folder which is the child theme.
Added also the snippet of code at header.php for older browsers to be able of display it.
Just added to default theme folder and he same result nothing changes.
Sure. In wp-admin, create a new Menu (under the Appearance header), and you can set your own order. There is some instruction on https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide how to set up the menus.

To fix alignment in Step 3 of the BP cmpatibility process. initial scan shows that you would need to revise 16 BP template files which were transferred into your eclipse theme folder during BP compatibility process. If you still want to proceed, let us know here.
DUPLICATE THREAD – you’ve already asked this question a number of times – please bump your old thread rather than starting a new one.
It’s also been explained to you that 2037 is a PHP date limit, and nothing to do with WordPress.
@mercime Thanks for the reply, answers are as follows:
* Group Forums
* Custom-built child theme based on Buddypress default theme (as I can’t replicate the problem myself I’ve been unable to test whether the fault persists when I switch themes)
* The only membership plugin I’m using is User Role Editor. I’ve used this to create a new Subscriber role I’ve called ‘Super Subscriber’ which has one extra function. However both ordinary Subscribers and Super Subscribers have reported being able to see these extra icons.
guys I know this might not be buddypress problem but I really am frustrated with wordpress’s Date Picker since it goes up to 2037 I wonder who the heck did that during development is there anything to fix that?
Post more info. Are you using an iphone or android, is it the bp-default theme?

Would be happy to help those who are contemplating a massive migration of an Elgg installation to BuddyPress + bbPress. We just did this and learned lots. The site we converted was large…40K VERY active users. 1.9GB database with massive messaging and activity migration from Elgg to BuddyPress and bbPress. All the hosting is done at WPEngine.com. We went through bumps with them, but all is good now. We had to make major performance tweaks to BuddyPress and bbPress to get performance to a professional level. Let’s just say our lead architect “wanted to take a shower every time he looked at the Elgg data model and table structure!” BuddyPress and bbPress was FAR more stable and understandable — thanks to the amazing WordPress community.
BuddyPress + bbPress + WordPress; 100% Responsive Design; Performance was a major priority; Custom data migration from Elgg to BuddyPress + bbPress; migrated 40,000 user accounts and massive amounts of messaging data
== This only happens when they are browsing in the Forums. ==
Group Forums or bbPress sitewide forums? What theme are you using? Also, are you using any membership plugin?
Go to WordPress.org’s BuddyPress page, click developers and it will list past versions
@rodtrent could be a bug. If WLW won’t still work after deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and changing to bp-default theme, do create a new ticket at BP trac (log in using same username and password used here) https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket
When you do, give all necessary information to replicate the issue – BP/WP versions, single/multisite, plugins/theme used, Windows or Linux server, etc.
