Trouble with BuddyPress Functionality Appearing on Page

Hi guys,

In the process of building a new site, looking to incorporate BuddyPress functionality.

When I go to a page where BuddyPress functionality is supposed to appear (for instance my members page: https://www.forfitness.com/community/), nothing is appearing.

I’m assuming it has something to do with an element of our custom theme, as the BuddyPress items appear with the default WP theme. I’ve ruled out plugins after turning each on and off and testing.

Would really appreciate some insight as to where to start looking for this issue. I’ve used BuddyPress in the past but definitely a novice. Any help would be great 🙂

The first step is to raise it as an issue with the theme developer, theme compatibility kind of demands that they don’t switch of BuddyPress lol.

Are you sticking with the theme?

My partner and I are developing the theme ourselves.

It’s a rare person who writes their own theme, these days.

I’m no theme expert, but it doesn’t seem like the BP templates are being loaded.
You may want to check on how your theme loads templates and whether those methods are different than the ones used in WP default themes like 2015, etc.

Have you read thru the links on this page; might provide some clues:

Also, turn on WP Debug and check your error logs.
