    Hi Guillaume. I don’t believe anything in Vantage has changed that would have caused this. Please can you try disabling all plugins besides BuddyPress and any SiteOrigin plugins and see if the issue resolves.

    Indeed !

    I guess my website uses too much ressources, and my free host can’t hold it …

    I was wondering if it was something wrong on the last update, but my host is the problem .

    Thank you for quick responding !

    News !

    It was not due to my hoster, i had the same issue locally

    The plugin “Page Builder” disable all functionnalities of Buddypress… When I de-activate it, my activity feed and members options show up again.

    Have you an idea of what’s going on ? Or should I create an other thread ?

    Hi, I Work Here

    Page Builder and BuddyPress haven’t been tested together at this time, unfortunately. We can’t think of an immediate reason why the two being activated on the same site would cause the one to disappear. This would unfortunately be a bug report at this stage. I have logged it but given the backlog can’t say when exactly it will be reviewed. Sorry I don’t have better news.

    To anyone interested, the way to work around this issue for me was to disable the panels created by the plugin for any of the Buddypress pages. The code is as follows:

    function so_panels_plugin_buddypress_compat() {
    	if ( bp_is_current_component_core() && false !== has_filter( 'the_content', 'siteorigin_panels_filter_content' ) ) {
    		remove_filter( 'the_content', 'siteorigin_panels_filter_content' );
    		if ( has_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'siteorigin_panels_prepare_single_post_content') ) {
    			remove_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'siteorigin_panels_prepare_single_post_content');
    		}
    	}
    }
    add_action( 'template_redirect', 'so_panels_plugin_buddypress_compat', 10 );

    What this code does is that it checks to see if the current page is a Buddypress page – if it is, it removes all filters and actions that modify the content of the current page.

    Hi, I Work Here

    Thanks for this contribution Nikola.

    It might also be possible to head to Settings > Page Builder and deselect BuddyPress as a Page Builder post type. I haven’t tested this though.

  8. 10 years, 11 months ago Nikola Nikolov

    The thing is that these are usually just regular pages and not posts from a custom post type. So I’m not sure if what you suggested would work.

    Hi, I Work Here

    Right, with you. No, it wouldn’t then. Thanks for sharing your fix here.

    Hello all,

    can you please elaborate a bit, where I have to put the snippet to get BuddyPress and the Vantage Theme working again?

    Thanks a lot

  11. 10 years, 11 months ago Nikola Nikolov

    Hi awaiK,

    You need to paste this snippet into your current theme’s functions.php file.

  12. 10 years, 11 months ago awaiK

    Hi Nikola,

    thanks a lot for your help.
    Now, BuddyPress’ pages (activity, members, groups) are working.

    I can’t believe that this code has not made it into the distribution for Vantage. I’ve updated twice since I discovered this code and each time I’ve had to add this back into my functions.php file

      Hi, I Work Here

      Quite right Steven. I’ve brought it up with the guys again and also logged another case report on our side about a week or two ago. Hopefully it’ll make it in very soon. To make this edit upgrade safe you could run it in a child theme. Just keep in mind that when you activate a child theme you do need to redo menu and Customizer settings. Here is a vanilla child theme to get started with if needs be:

    Hi, I Work Here

    This thread was recently brought to my attention. Just wanted to let anyone who’s reading this know that the current version of Page Builder (version 2.1) fixes this issue, so it’s no longer necessary to include compatibility code.

  16. 10 years, 2 months ago Sarah Richardson

    Hi Greg

    I’m running version 2.1.2 of Page Builder on wordpress 4.2.1 and with Hueman (child) theme but I have still had to use compatibility code to get Buddypress Pages working properly.

    In my issue, I have assigned a regular page as the homepage and anything I put on the home page using PAge Builder appears on my Buddypress pages.

    Has anyone else has this issue?
