Hello, I am very new to using buddypress and I just set up a site. However, everything seems fine except the Request Membership link for private groups is not working..

Please what am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to make this work.

WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? Has it been updated for BP 1.5.5? Have you tried changing to bp-default theme and checking if issue has been resolved?

It means that Huddle theme has not been updated for BP 1.5.5. Don’t know how Themeforest works – you might have to pay for every theme update. Or, if you bought it recently, you have the right to get a theme which is compatible with current BP version. Please contact your theme vendor.

Hello, I have the same problem, and I am using the default theme for buddypress, any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Similar problem here: WP 3.5.1 multisite + BP 1.7.1
When admin accepts membership requests all works well; new members are added to the group list. But the new member doesn’t actually get access and still gets a message that says “this is a private group, request memberhip”.
I also use the DB Cache Reloaded Fix plugin.

I use a child theme derived from the default team, only changing the visibility of the menu as explained in //https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-hiding-navigation-links-for-buddypress-pages-for-non-registered-users/
When I use the default theme as such, it still doesn’t work.
I also tried to change the user’s role to author; still no luck…

I have similar problem. When a user invite someone to his group the other user don’t receive any notification. I think this is a bug. I’ve also tried default theme, but still it doesn’t work. 🙁
