    BP Version 2.7.2
    WP Version 4.7
    Yes this is a problem with the WP Themes 20-14, 20-16

    eltconjunction.com

    Yes, this was a problem before the upgraded wordpress yesterday.

    ISSUE: Pages inside of Buddypress Setup are not populating any information. Are there supposed to be shortcodes inserted or what is the deal? SO, Members, Activity Stream (Community), Groups, Register, and Activate; none of them function. Members is just a blank page, just completely blank and then the others show the edit button and nothing else.

    This problem is why I switched but now I decided to try to power through here..so please help me out. I am a novice but I do know a few really small things…and the power of GOOGLE.

    BuddyPress does work with 2016, there must be something else stopping it from working. Have you tried deactivating any other plugins?

    I returned to 2016, deactivated all my extra buddypress plugins and left just the main one and still no pages. Now in Ultimate Member, there are shortcodes inserted on that pages…is that what I needed to do here? Where do I get those shortcodes from or is it supposed to be an automatic thing…

    Yes it’s supposed to be automatic, have you gone to Dashboard>>Settings>>BuddyPress>>Pages an set the BuddyPress components to display on your pages?

    yes, I did that first. i had this problem the first time I tried buddypress…there has got to be a workaround. I am on a new server and its still not cooperating. The profile page works as does the page to setup groups so I imagine some of the plugin functionality is intact…just this part….

    @alliebells15,

    deactivate all plugins but BP and restart BP’s setup

    BP pages should be empty, without any shortcode or template assigned. Once created again, clear eventually the trash, your pages must be unique !

    Once ok, go to permalinks, and choose any option but “default”.

    In BP pages settings, you should have a page for:

    members
    activities
    groups (if you use groups)
    register &
    activation (if you allow user registration)

    Reading the codex will help you to clarify how to proceed.

    What didn’t work ? And don’t use Ultimate Member while trying to debug your install…

    Just checked your site… seems to work !

    http://eltconjunction.com/register/ is ok
    http://eltconjunction.com/members/ is ok
    http://eltconjunction.com/members/Alliebells15/ (your profile is……. OK !)
    http://eltconjunction.com/groups/ is ok (no groups, but the page is correctly displayed)

    So what is the problem ? Do you mean perhaps some missing buttons to access those pages ?

    Please read here if it’s the case:

    thank you! i’m sorry…maybe i am moving too fast or something…I tried to load them afterwards and it didn’t work for me…

    okay i see it! becuase its still doing it…for some reason when I click on the page it loads this:

    http://eltconjunction.com/index.php/groups/

    the pages you sent me dont include index.php….soo… lol…I think we are like 80% there…

    Please be serious,

    why do you use index.php (it is a file), when i give you the correct path in my previous answer ?
    Such URL‘s can’t work: http://eltconjunction.com/index.php/groups/

    You’re on buddypress support forum and your BP pages where correctly displayed, a few hours back when i visited your site.

    The error you have now is related to ppress. If you have issue with it, you have to ask for help on the appropriate support.

    I invite you to read any plugins documentation you want to use BEFORE using them. And encourage you to learn a bit about internet, wordpress and how to build a site…

    ..Right. It appears to be lazy programming to me. Instead of having Buddypress actually integrate with the website for the real page address, it creates its own links which is misleading. If Buddypress is just going to create its own pages, then why should I manually create pages that will not be used and offer no real utility?

    I assume you meant to say this is a problem with Permalinks and not with ProfilePress, which is the link you sent me for support. Thank you for that piece of misinformation. I also presume that you are aware that Buddypress is creating its own links and this is why you presented those links to me as if resetting all my plugins actually achieved something…which it didn’t.

    Well, this has been lovely. A person can learn to do anything courtesy of google and youtube. However, the ability to be respectful and considerate of other individuals doesn’t come as easily. You work for a support forum, honey. Be supportive.
