Create a new menu in the WordPress admin then set it to the mobile menu and add items.
Excellent. WordPress is fine, I just need to reinstall buddypress from the ground up. and deleting the plugin doesnt do it….
Just re-install buddypress and not wordpress? Then yes, just remove those.
Hi Ray. No more info needed. They’re just 2 single WordPress installs.
By the way, I’ve checked that in Buddypress.org there is a similar problem. I’ve received an email after a user has followed me with the following link to change the notifications settings:
https://buddypress.org/community/members/papaenapuros/settings/notifications/
i’ve logged out and clicked the link. Then, after entering my logging data, I’ve been redirected to:
https://buddypress.org/?redirect_to=https://buddypress.org/community/members/papaenapuros/settings/notifications
As you can see, the URL is not working. This is the same problem.
Bye.
Ah, never mind, I got a list of members by clicking the members tab. It is the members WIDGET in the sidebar that insists there are no members. So, this is a widget issue. I still don’t see a registration form anywhere for new members. I will keep looking.

Hi I’ve had this problem come and go but today seems I cant access the ALL POST section in my wp admin area or from the “Manage Post ” buddy press dash board.
What I’m getting is a blank page on the /wp-admin/edit.php .
The only way I can access the Posts is to disable the BuddyPress and BuddyPress Template Pack plugins ? Is there some code I can alter in buddy press to make the post function available again ?
and is there a way to disable the Buddy Press Dash Board back to the default wordpress dash board ?
I’m using the latest version of WordPress 3.2.1 and using Avenue 1.2 by Theme Sector with the buddypress template pack plugin with the customisation codes from a previous post below which I Posted below on the forum.
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddy-press-theme-intergration/
Trouble: I have created 5 worpress users from the dashboard. Yet, no members at ll show up on the “http:/momatoldme.com” buddypress site. Nor do I see any way on the page for anyone to register.
I thought from what I have read about wordpress, that wordpress users=buddypress members?
If not, how do I sign up members? Please help.

You can simply replace the WordPress search form code in your theme template with the following (it will give you the standard BP search form for Members, Groups, Blogs, Forums, Posts). Plus, the “Search anything…” default text will disappear when the user clicks in it.
`<form action="” method=”post” id=”search-form”>
<input type="text" id="search-terms" name="search-terms" value="” onfocus=”if (this.value == ” ) { this.value = ”; }” onblur=”if (this.value == ”) { this.value = ”;}” /> in
<input type="submit" name="search-submit" id="search-submit" value="” />

I’ve built many WordPress sites before, but this will be my first using Buddypress. I’d like there to be some sort of checklist that all members of the site are working toward completing. More specifically, a list a places each member needs to visit, and then record or check off that they’ve completed it. And have a way to show each members progress. Is there a way to do this with the existing plugins?
Thanks!
My apologies, yes it used to be call WPMU they have now made it part of the main WordPress install and call it Multisite.
So yes I have an install of WordPress with Multisite activated. I have not seen anything that says the latest version of Buddypress is not compatible with WordPress Multisite.
UPDATE
I have tried a fresh install of WordPress with Buddypress installed. I now have the following happening…
The settings page still stays the same on a save but if you refresh the page your changes are now visible (This was not happening before). So it seems that the save is now happening it just still shows you the old data first after you press the save button. This seems to make it confusing as you think the save did not complete.
Further to this, if you use the default buddypress theme the save works first time everytime correctly. The above only seems to happen if I am using a different theme with the buddypress template pack to make the theme compatible.
So does this mean there is a bug in the template pack? If so any suggestions on how I can make the form display your newly saved data right after the save.
Thanks
Sounds like a bug. Can you report it on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org please? You can use your username and password from here.
Hello,
I have a buddypress install in a subfolder in a domain (ie, http://www.mydomain.com/buddypress). That is, http://www.mydomain.com has a WordPress install, and “/buddypress” is another different install. Both them are single Wordpres installs (not multiuser).
When you send a private message, you receive an email width the text “To view and read your messages please log in and visit: http://www.mydomain.com/buddypres/users/name/messages/” which is a correct URL.
If you click in the link (when logged out), you are redirected to a bad URL. This is:
`http://www.mydomain.com/buddypress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=/buddypress/?redirect_to=http://www.mydomain.com/buddypress/users/name/messages`
As you can see, there are 2 “redirect_to” parameters. The text “redirect_to=/buddypress/” is not needed, and it’s causing the problem. If I delete it, it works fine and when you’re logged you are redirected to the messages page.
Any idea how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
The problem IS the parent theme Detox. With all the warnings and deprecated notices generated, if that theme was submitted to the WordPress Theme Repository, it would not be approved with all those errors. That theme is listed with issues on this page https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-theme-compatibility/
You have to fix the theme, or drop it and get a WordPress Theme. Then install BP Template Pack plugin. Go through the BP compatibility process and if you need help with that, post here.
I have exactly the same problem 
. After replying on some activity post I get Page not found. I have latest Buddypress and wordpress with default theme and have never had Buddystream installed.
if you want to modify that behavior you can edit the theme files which i did for my community. users browsing the page don’t see anything unless they register. i used the wordpress-function is_user_logged_in()
files to consider:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php
and to hide the rss-button (private groups still in rss if you know the link or browse the source code – but users not logged using the site don’t see anything):
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php
This seems to be a nice plugin that works on buddypress:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-recaptcha/
Some slight manual additions (just add your recaptcha keys into the actual php file), but apart from that, clean, simple it seems.
I came across a case of white screen of death after upgrading my WordPress/Buddypress multisite install yesterday to latest versions. Basically, I realized that 2 pages that used to display fine suddenly started yielding a blank screen. All the other pages of the site kept displaying correctly.
After a few hours of troubleshooting, I narrowed down the problem to the name of the template file that is attached to the displayed page. The theme I am using is Classipress and the name of the template file is “tpl-membership-purchase.php”. If I rename the template file to something simpler, then the page displays as it should.
I checked as well that this was only happening if buddypress’ latest version was installed.
I managed to reproduce the problem by
– installing WP (latest release) + BP (latest release + all wizard default options)
– activating Twenty-eleven theme (no BP modification)
– creating a new (very basic) template fille called “tpl-membership-purchase.php”
– assigning the new template to a newly created page and display the page
Thanks.
So only BuddyPress pages dont work, but your normal WordPress pages work with pretty permalinks?
Not sure if this is still something to be worrying about, but you had to “re-save” your pretty permalinks after installing BuddyPress, if you havent, try that.
I have an issue where I am unable to save settings when on a member page e.g. http://www.bimstop.com/members/{member name}/settings/general/.
If I enter the details correctly when changing the email address it just stays the same. If I go into “Profile” under /wp-admin/ and attempt to change it, it work’s fine.
I notice that this same problem happens on the testbp.org website when you try and save your settings.
Site Details…
– WPMU install
– Latest version of buddypress installed as plugin
– Using the buddypress template pack.
– Theme is based on “BLANK WordPress Theme”
Things I have tried…
– Changing to the default buddypress theme (Still had the issue)
– Deactivating all other plugins (Still had the issue)
– Re-copying the buddypress template files. (Still had the issue)
If anyone can help me with this or if you have any ideas on things I could try it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
You’re right not to take it personally. Know that 99.9% of those who help out here are volunteers who live in different time zones. If your post has not been answered within 24 hours, feel free to bump your topic here.
First off, what versions of BP and WP are you on right now? What premium theme/child theme are you using? Doesn’t premium theme author give support?
== in which the Parent has supposedly been updated for the latest version of BP. ==
“Supposedly” is the operative word. Install the Theme Check plugin and the Log Deprecated Notices plugin to see what’s going on with the parent theme. Run these as well on the child theme (in case it copied outdated template files from parent theme and were not updated).
== I’ve switched to BP-default theme, ran the plugin BP template pack ==
If you’re using the bp-default theme, you do not need the BP Template Pack plugin — this is only used for and with regular WordPress themes to make those compatible with BuddyPress.
I am using wordpress with the buddy press login and when I go to look for the default BP theme I don’t see it. I see all of the other themes however.
If I disable BuddyPress, and then load the site, it gives me a WPOD (White Page of Death).
But none of these worked for me, although the k-noo.net looked the clearest of them all.
I think it’s not Nginx, but WordPress that hates me.
#1 is an interesting request. I would post a new enhancement ticket about this on BP Trac:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket (login with the same credentials you use here)
#2 would require hooking your activity update code into WP cron:
http://wpengineer.com/1908/use-wordpress-cron/
http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/theme-development/do-it-yourself-wordpress-scheduling-mastering-wp-cron/
BuddyPress doesn’t work without permalinks enabled.
Do you get those warnings when BuddyPress is deactivated?
Try some of the other nginx configs on the net like:
http://xentek.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/nginx-vhost-wordpress-mu-and-buddypress.txt
http://k-noo.net/2010/07/nginx-rewrite-rule-for-wordpress-buddypress/247
http://blog.adrenlinerush.net/?p=81
See if any of them work and report back!
