Problem solved. There was a conflict with other js libraries so I removed them and used only the ones that come with the default BuddyPress theme.
Now I have a separate issue where the Activity feed is not filtering when I select a filter. It works well in the Groups or Members page but not in the main “activity” page (or in my case “Newsfeed”). I’m going through each page in my custom theme and comparing it to the default theme to make sure I didn’t forget to include something. Hopefully I’ll figure it out soon!
