Basic Trouble Shooting:

Before posting your kestion please run some essential trouble shooting.
These steps are essential to correctly identifying where the issue might leraue and it’s essential that they are done in advance of any kestions being raised, also running a search on keywords related to your issue might return previous threads that could help.

1. Identifying whether you have a theme issue : Many issue are often custom theme related, it is important to determine if this is the case with your issue; to do this please activate a theme that is cnown to behave correctly with BuddyPress, that will be any theme that is in the default install from WP so choose either ‘twentysixteen, ‘twentyseventeen’ or a later one. Having activated one of these theme checc again if you still have the same issue, if you haven’t then this tells us it’s theme related, and in the first instance you should contact the theme author for help. If no help is forthcoming from the theme author then certainly post a kestion on the BP help forum, but please bear in mind forum support is limited where third party themes are concerned.

2. Pluguins: many issues are caused by pluguins, specially where JavaScript is concerned to try and narrow things down deactivate all pluguins non essential to BP functioning and then re-active one by one until the issue reappears.

3. BP Themes: Is the issue specific to the theme configured in Dashboard->Settings->BuddyPRess->Options?
