What theme are you using?
Try switching to a WP theme like 2015 – if the problem is gone, then it’s something in your theme.
Hi @ctuxboy,
What have you done before the button disappeared ?
Activate wp_debug in wp-config.php and see if you get some error message.
You may also test with one of Twenty theme, to see i it comes up with a strict WP standard theme.
And also deactivate all plugins, except BP, and reactivate them one by one to eventually find a culprit.
Control also your custom function if you added some in theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php
And of course, you’re encouraged to update to BP 2.3.3 ! 😉
Hello,
Thanks for the fast replies.
The theme is a twentyfifteen child-theme.
I follow yours advice.
– First, remove the custom code in functions.php
– updated to the latest BP
– remove some custom bp-templates
Here a Screenshot if not a friend. All buttons are showing perfect.
Here a screenshot when he is a friend. Then only the de-friend button shows 🙁
Strange problem.

Sorry to ask this, but are Friend Connections and Private messaging enabled in BP settings ?
What happend when you deactivate all plugins ?
No problem. I appreciate your help 🙂
I deactivate the plugins one-by-one.
Also deactivate BP.
All the BP settings are enabled in settings -> BP -> components
or is there an other setting thati missing??

Christophe
is there an other setting ? No other setting in BP.
Deactivate the child and use original Fifteen while testing.
– no error message ? No JS error in console (browser tool) ?

The strange thing is that all the buttons showing correctly in the user profiles when nothing a friend.
(sorry for my bad english!)
One thing is sure: all buttons showing up on a default install of WP/BP using a Twenty theme.
I recommand you built a local site where you can test your customization before applying them to live site.
Use WAMPP or XAMPP or MAMPP and start with a clean WP/BP install + Twenty Fifteen, so you can see the buttons. Once ok, you test your original theme (not the child) as already told you by Shane.
Ok, i give it a try.
I do a clean install on my local machine.

Christophe
Hello,
I find the problem.
It works perfect in twenty fourteen theme but not in original twenty fifteen theme.
Strange :-s
Someone a solution? Or the same problem with twenty fifteen theme?
PS: There are no messages in debug-mode!
Regards,
Christophe
Which is the problem you find ?
Again, Twenty themes on a clean WP/BP install are working and you should see the button on 2014 & 2015.
Can you test with different browsers ?
Hi,
I test it in Chrome and Firefox. The same problem.
Ok, I switched to another theme and works perfect now!
Regards,
Christoohe
