You’re right not to take it personally. Know that 99.9% of those who help out here are volunteers who live in different time zones. If your post has not been answered within 24 hours, feel free to bump your topic here.
First off, what versions of BP and WP are you on right now? What premium theme/child theme are you using? Doesn’t premium theme author give support?
== in which the Parent has supposedly been updated for the latest version of BP. ==
“Supposedly” is the operative word. Install the Theme Check plugin and the Log Deprecated Notices plugin to see what’s going on with the parent theme. Run these as well on the child theme (in case it copied outdated template files from parent theme and were not updated).
== I’ve switched to BP-default theme, ran the plugin BP template pack ==
If you’re using the bp-default theme, you do not need the BP Template Pack plugin — this is only used for and with regular WordPress themes to make those compatible with BuddyPress.
I lol’d at this topic title.
Anyway, have you tried, just going totally basic and updating everything to the latest versions?
So deactivating all plugins, using bp-default theme the right way and see where it goes from there?
Thanks Xevo- yep I did that, still nothing works. I’m glad I’m getting some responses though. Thanks!
Thanks Mercime- I’m using WP 3.2.1., BP Version 1.5.1
The theme is Detox 3.17.24 which is BP compatible by Milo from 3oneseven. It’s free so there is no support really. I’ve tried, but he/she is great with design, not so much with support.
I don’t think that is my problem though, since no matter what theme I use (including BP default) I have the same and sometimes more problems with member functions.
Here are some themecheck pastebin links to:
Child theme: ‘https://pzt.me/7bj6’
Parent theme: ‘https://pzt.me/89cv’
Log Deprecated Notices plugin says :
‘https://pzt.me/7tt4.
Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it.
The problem IS the parent theme Detox. With all the warnings and deprecated notices generated, if that theme was submitted to the WordPress Theme Repository, it would not be approved with all those errors. That theme is listed with issues on this page https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-theme-compatibility/
You have to fix the theme, or drop it and get a WordPress Theme. Then install BP Template Pack plugin. Go through the BP compatibility process and if you need help with that, post here.
Thanks again for your input.
That may be one issue, but like I said, it doesn’t even work when I use the buddypress default theme. In 6 months I’ve never once seen the member functions working correctly, no matter what them I have running.
@Bikramglobal, can you do the following:
1. Set these options as follows in your wp_config.php file:
ini_set(‘display_errors’,1);
ini_set(“error_reporting”, E_ALL);
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, true);
2. Switch to the buddypress default theme
3. Paste any warnings/errors that are displayed on your page when you attempt to send a message, friend someone, etc.
Thanks kwerri,
I did what you said and here’s what happened with BP Default theme activated:
WordPress database error: [Table ‘BikramGlobal.wp_bp_xprofile_fields’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT id FROM wp_bp_xprofile_fields WHERE name = ‘Name’
etc…
I ended up paying someone to help me. He reloaded everything and go it working! Apparently, some files were missing, as well as the tables. Glad this issue is now fixed!
