You need to install Loco Translate plugin on your website
Loco Translate
Go to Loco Translate >> Plugins, and you should see BuddyPress then. You also can check Loco Translate documentation to know how to use this plugin.

It sounds like you’ve already taken some great troubleshooting steps. Since the “Join Group” button isn’t functioning, I would recommend the following:
Check for JavaScript errors: Right-click on the page, select “Inspect,” then go to the “Console” tab to see if any errors appear when you click the button. JavaScript conflicts often cause buttons to stop working.
Enable WordPress Debugging: You can enable the debug log by adding the following line to your wp-config.php file:
php
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);
This will help catch errors that might not be visible in the front-end.
Check group creation method: If your groups were created using a plugin or demo import, try creating a new group manually to see if the issue persists. Sometimes imported data can cause conflicts.
If none of these resolve the issue, it could be helpful to explore potential theme conflicts with BuddyPress or review any customizations you may have made.
Wordpress Version: 6.6.2
Buddypress Version: 14.1.0
1. You can disable all plugins except BuddyPress change your WordPress to the default theme and see if the issue persists or not.
2. You can check if you add any custom code on the bp-custom.php or functions.php file inside the theme folder. If you have that custom code, you can remove it and see if it fixes the error or not.
Check for Javascript errors in your browser console (right click on the page and select “inspect”. and see if any errors show there that may give a clue.
Have you enabled the debug log in WordPress? If not, I recommend you install Developer debug tools, which will let you enable and view it, as well as providing a wide range of other debug and configuration tools.
Hi BuddyPress Support,
I’m experiencing an issue on my BuddyPress site where users are unable to join any groups. When they attempt to click the “Join Group” button either on the groups directory page or within the individual group page, nothing happens. There is no error message or feedback, and the user isn’t added to the group.
Here are a few details about my setup:
WordPress Version: 6.6.2
BuddyPress Version: 14.1.0
Theme Used: Vikinger
I’ve already tried the following troubleshooting steps without success:
Deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress to check for conflicts.
Switched to a default theme (like Twenty Twenty-Three).
Cleared cache and tested in multiple browsers.
I would appreciate any help or insights on resolving this issue. Please let me know if you need further information or logs to help diagnose the problem.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Best regards,
Hello BuddyPress Support,
I’m experiencing a critical error whenever I edit a member or assign a member type in my BuddyPress installation. Specifically, the error only occurs for the account being edited or updated with a member type, rendering the user account inaccessible and causing a “critical error” on their profile.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Edit an existing user profile via WordPress Dashboard or BuddyPress.
Assign or change the member type for that user.
After saving changes, the user’s profile becomes inaccessible, displaying a critical error.
Troubleshooting so far:
- I have disabled other plugins to check for conflicts, but the issue persists.
The site is using the latest versions of WordPress and BuddyPress.
I’ve also checked the error logs, which show a fatal error triggered after assigning the member type.
Is there any known issue or potential conflict that could be causing this? Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated, as this issue is affecting specific user profiles and preventing those users from accessing their accounts.
Thank you for your support!
Best regards,
Since version 12, BuddyPress has no longer used WordPress pages. That’s why you will not find a page ID on the BP pages.
A possible solution, you install the BP Classic plugin so the BuddyPress page can use the WP page.
Hello,
You can try to reinstall BuddyPress emails. It’s on Tools >> BuddyPress of your WordPress dashboard.
You also can try to install a Mail SMTP plugin and do testing to send a test email through the Mail SMTP plugin menu, to make sure if the issue comes from BuddyPress or the Sendgrid.
Hi friends.
I’m using buddypress Version 14.1.0 with the legacy buddypress template, in wordpress (latest version)
Inicio
When I open a group, I see that the <h2> tag with the group admins value
looks too big.
I’ve modified the css as follows:
#item-actions, h2 {
font-size: small;
}
And it looks fine on desktop, but it still looks too big on mobile.
I’ve tried with:
@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
#item-actions, h2 {
font-size: small;
}}
but it doesn’t work.
What could be the reason?
Thank you very much and I look forward to your response.
Hi @capexpe
I believe we’ve improved this part actually in 14.0, see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/13936.
You shouldn’t put your custom language into /wp-content/languages/plugins because it will be replaced by the official translation after it has been updated by the Polyglots team.
Custom language files for BuddyPress should be in one of the locations we are looking for:
– /wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress
– /wp-content/languages/buddypress
– /wp-content/languages
More informations are available from this documentation page: https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/blob/master/docs/user/advanced/texts.md
I’ve just tested renaming “Groupes” with “Expé” in custom fr_FR translation files I’ve included in the /wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress folder:
– /wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress/buddypress-fr_FR.po
– /wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress/buddypress-fr_FR.mo
And it’s behaving the way it should, see screenshot below:
@adjunkten I have no idea how Loco translate deals with translation files, but if you put their generated alternative language files at one of the three locations I listed above making sure they respect the WordPress default way of naming these, it should also fix your issue. Here’s the translated message for the “members-only” login page.
I am running a Multisite WordPress website with single network and having over 100+ subsites. I have installed the BuddyPress plugin (not network wide active) and activated it for only two subsites: https://example.com/texas and https://example.com/bayarea.
I want each subsite to show its own business groups, but the /groups/ directory currently displays the same groups for all subsites. For example, if I create a group in the “bayarea” subsite, it is also visible in the “texas” subsite.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Building a site with BuddyPress and the Divi Theme is definitely doable, but there are some compatibility considerations to keep in mind. The Divi Theme Builder is highly versatile, but its compatibility with BuddyPress depends on how BuddyPress structures its pages.
Key Points:
Post Type Compatibility: As the Elegant Themes team mentioned, if BuddyPress uses the default WordPress post type for its pages, you should be able to edit them using the Divi Builder without any issues. BuddyPress typically generates pages using custom post types for specific content like user profiles, activity feeds, etc.
Custom Templates: You might need to create custom templates for BuddyPress pages. Divi allows for a lot of customization, so you can design layouts that suit your needs. However, the integration may require some manual tweaking to ensure everything displays correctly.
Third-Party Plugins: There are third-party plugins that help bridge the gap between BuddyPress and Divi, making it easier to customize BuddyPress pages with the Divi Builder. You might want to explore these if you encounter limitations.
Testing: It would be a good idea to set up a test environment where you can experiment with how BuddyPress and Divi work together, especially when it comes to customizing profile pages and other BuddyPress-specific content.
If anyone in the community has experience with this setup, it would be great to hear your thoughts and any challenges you encountered!

To assign a custom template to your BuddyPress registration page instead of using the standard blog post template, you can follow these steps:
Install a Page Builder: Consider using a page builder like Elementor along with the BuddyBuilder plugin. This combination allows you to create a custom registration template easily.
Create a New Template: Navigate to Templates > Add New in your WordPress dashboard. Choose “BuddyPress” as the template type and select the “Register page.”
Design Your Template: Add the necessary widgets such as “Account Details,” “Profile Details,” and a “Submit Button.” You can also customize the layout to fit your site’s design better.
Set the Template: Once your template is created, ensure it is set as the default for the registration page in the BuddyPress settings.
Test Your Changes: After saving your changes, visit the registration URL to confirm that the new template is applied correctly.
By following these steps, you should be able to assign a custom template to your BuddyPress registration page successfully. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask!

The create_function() was deprecated as of PHP 7.2.0 and was removed in 8.0.0 (see create_function). Since you are using PHP 8.x then, it would be best to not use this plugin until it has had all compatibility issues resolved. On another note, there seems to be some interest by individuals other than the original developers to provide some sort of future support for this plugin (see Would like to take over this plugin, or help – Support forum for BuddyPress Follow).
I’ve got a fixed version of this on Buddyuser dot com (The BP Follow page), The other alternative is to look up those errors on Stack Overflow and apply the fixes yourself.
I’ve asked to contribute to the Followers Plugin and have had a positive response, so hopefully, this will be folded into the WordPress Library soonish.
Hello all,
I have hidden myself as an admin, on my test site running buddypress, for obvious reasons. However, I discovered that when composing a message using Buddypress messages, when the user types in a partial name of the recipient, even a single letter, everyone that matches that name will show up, even if they are hidden from the directory. For example, typing “@a” will show “@admin” (me) as well as “@adam” or “@amanda” and this is no good.
Is there a way to remove certain users (ideally by user roles) from showing up in the “to” field?
I have WordPress 6.6.1 and Buddypress 14.0.0.
Thank you
I saw this post and it was ultimately not resolved but I can’t reply to that, so am starting a new post. Skip to the bottom to see my specs.
In that post, it is said that the issue may be due to usernames that have spaces in them.
I set up a test site with Buddypress and some test users. I have 4 test users whose names have spaces in them, like “First Last” as opposed to “FirstLast”. 3 of them cannot access any Buddypress links (such as mydomain.com/members) but 1 can. I can’t figure out how to fix this. I don’t have any redirect rules activated.
I have WordPress 6.6.1 and Buddypress 14.0.0.
Any help is appreciated.
Hello. I needed to fix a problem on my website romancingrarehearts.com. While doing so, I deactivated and reactivated Buddypress. Then I found that most of my pages were gone. Is there a trash bin that I can get them back from? Or are they unretrievable? I’m using theme Twenty Fifteen, buddypress 14.0.0, and WordPress 6.6.1.
It seems like WordPress has taken control over new member registrations.
The membership request must first be approved under WP User – Manage Signups. Once that is done, BP Registration takes over, and an email is sent, and the new user is marked for approval. (As usual)…
