Any suggestion, I’ve done a lot of looking around and have not found anyone having a similar problem!
I have double checked that under Screen Options: BuddyPress is enabled, obviously. The plugin is active and I do not know of any errors. I have no idea as to why none of the menu items are appearing.
@deklein – switch your theme to 2014 theme – does it come up then?
disable all your other plugins aside from bp… does it come up then?
if so – re-activate one by one and test if it’s still there.. you may find it’s a theme or other plugin causing a conflict (?)
Tried both changing the theme and disabling all plugins but buddy-press. To no avail. I didnt think it was another plugin interfering with buddypress’ ability to manifest the buttons. It has to be something else, maybe my buddypress is corrupt?
@deklein – it certainly would not hurt, and would be pretty fast and easy to make a backup of your entire wordpress install (all files on server, maybe a zipped folder) – then delete your buddypress plugin and all your default themes.. reinstall a fresh 2014 theme and buddypress – activate and test. Very strange that those do not show up with all other plugins disabled while switched to 2014 theme – and you even checked screen options..
I would say before trying that I would try to mess with that menu using a different browser.. sometimes things work in firefox that do not work in chrome.. sometimes a browser plugin blocks something from loading somewhere that you may not find is an issue when using Internet Explorer..
@deklein – One more thing – have you taken the steps to “create a new menu” and save and all that?
the wordpress menus thing is not the most eloquent as far as UX ihmo. Sometimes you gotta select a menu from the dropdown and click select and wait.. not everyone is going to know they need to click select to actually make something happen..
