Group Avatar upload form not showing during group creation

I cannot see the upload form for group avatar. It shows next and previous buttons and lets me skip the step. I can then go inside the group and then edit and then upload the group pic, but not at the time of creation. I want it at the time of creating the group too.

Running BP 1.5.1 + WP 3.2.1

Change to bp-default theme and see if same behavior applies.

Yes, it works fully fine now. How do I fix my theme so that it shows up? On my theme for user display pic upload also I am facing the same issue. Any idea how to fix it? On firebug the form itself cannot be seen.

I don’t think it has got anything to do with the plugins. Even when I have all the plugins enabled on the default theme everything works fine.

Thanks!

Which theme were you using? Have you tried to contact theme author?

I wrote the theme myself. Everything else seems to work except for the avatar upload – anything to do with any jquery or javascript files in the theme?

@prasanth-p do clarify if you made a WP theme or a bp-default child theme. Solution would be different depending on scenario.

@JackVD do be more specific. BP/WP versions? Using bp-default child theme or a WP theme with BP template pack plugin? New install? Check out System and Server Requirements as well as WordPress configuration https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server

I was using a custom theme as well and had to change one line in my wp-content/themes/themefolder/groups/create.php file

I had this:
“

Needed to change to this based on the bp-default theme:
“

After that, the avatar upload form appears at step 3 of the group creation process. HTH someone.
