@mebo For Step 3, you need to revise 16 template files listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

@q5sys
1. Install bbPress plugin (sitewide forums)
2. There is a phpbb3 converter Read https://bbpress.org/forums/topic-tag/phpbb3/
2. Have conversion done.
3. Double-check/test that conversion to bbPress is […]

@joshualedetnet Btw, did you run through the Update Wizard after you upgraded to BP 1.6? https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/version-1-6/upgrading-to-1-6/

== the plugins should all work correctly as they did before the issue with the incompatible theme. Right? ==

It depends if the plugin is compatible with latest WP 3.4.1 and BP 1.6. I would stick with the […]

@oraclesoftruth You create the file bp-custom.php not bb-custom.php. Read how -> https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

@smackmathew Your issue sounds similar to those who are using the Salutation theme. If so, there’s a theme upgrade available from the theme vendor. If not, what theme are you using?

== Is there a way to change themes and/or disable buddypress through ftp? ==

Yes. Just rename the folder of your active theme as in e.g. wp-content/themes/yourthemename-changeit and for plugins, just rename the […]

== an entire Buddypress (premium) theme ==

If you purchased that theme, there’s nothing wrong about translating the theme for your own use. But if you plan to sell/distribute (especially distribute) that […]

If you’re only going to change that string, see http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/archives/2010/01/02/mangling-strings-for-fun-and-profit/

@mebo looks like you’ve fixed the alignment of the BP template file with your theme’s HTML structure in the second link.

== hide or remove the activity link in the buddypress drop-down menu ==

Which drop-down menu, where?

== where is that CSS living though? ==

You add those styles posted by karmatosed in the style.css file of your theme.

== Ok, I finally got the profile menu to work. How do i take out the dropdown menu? ==

Glad you finally got it working. What/which dropdown menu are you talking about specifically? In which theme and where is […]

== I want members to be able to create new blog sites on their accounts. ==

@oraclesoftruth And BuddyPress provides a form in the front end so that your users can create new blogs … if you have a multisite […]

@queenieb I test every install with bp-default theme before activating other plugins or adding new theme. I was going to check out the issues in your site but the username/pw you gave above is invalid

== I seem to be having the problem of the “profile” link now showing up in all of my custom menus as well as links to all different profile links showing up next to the sidebar and in my footer. How can this be […]

@charlietech if you have custom menu enabled in Appearance Menus and if it’s only a profile link you want and not the full set links found in the plugin, see […]

Have you already gone through basic troubleshooting like deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and check if issue is resolved?

== BP does not appear in the menu, nor under the setting tab. ==

@nlmdep do you have a multisite installation? WP/BP versions? Is this is a new WP installation?
