If you had installed BuddyPress prior to version 12.x.x, e.g. versions 11.x.x and below, then you would have had pages. If you install versions 12.x.x and above, the default will be directories as opposed to pages. If you wish to have pages again, then you need to install and/or activate the BP Classic plugin.
thank you
The pages are created but they are not connecting to buddypress. Please help.
Could you be more specific? Do you have your menus setup such that you can access the BP pages?
Excuses me I’m inexperienced. Yes, the menus exist. After installing the BP classic plugin, the pages were created and the menus are available at the top of the site, but they have no content.
What might help is that you include a screenshot of the menus and what a page looks like with no content. For example, the following is a screenshot of a page (with content) when the “Activity” menu item is selected:

Additionally, what WordPress theme are you using?
can you help with this picture?
register page is is like to this picture just instead Activity write register
This is the image of my website registry section on local hosts
What WordPress theme are you using? Also, when you are in the wp-admin area, go to Settings > Permalinks and make sure the “Permalink structure” is not set to “Plain”.
I use twenty-twenty four theme
And permalink structure is set to custom structure
Thanks for the info regarding your theme. The URL structure appears to be a bit odd, your screenshot reveals:
http://localhost/graymatter/index.php/register
Where is the “index.php” coming from? Given that rewrite rules and permalinks are working correctly, the expectation would be that the URL would be:
http://localhost/graymatter/register
When you click on the “Sample Page”, does it show the contents of the “Sample Page”? And what does the URL structure for that page show?
thank you very much
It worked perfectly, of course, with the bpclassic plugin, but wouldn’t it be better to work without this plugin? Can it be launched without the plugin?
The BP Classic plugin is used to augment BuddyPress when, just to name a few:
- Users require BP pages
- Support for BP Legacy Widgets
- Some 3rd party plugins require the BP legacy parser
Otherwise, BuddyPress should launch, just fine, without the BP Classic plugin.
