@gcchick01 haven’t seen a similar plugin which is compatible with BuddyPress/BP profiles. Best place to make a request and possibly a donation to extend plugin for BP compatibility is with the plugin author
== but the menu title is still the same – ‘Blogs’ ==
What theme are you using? Just to clarify which dropdown “menu” are you referring to – the one from the admin bar or in main navigation (where btw you can change the name blogs in Appearance > Menus if your theme supports custom menu)?
Upload a header image which is already sized at least 1,250px width and 133px height. Looks like you upload a small image and that was automatically expanded to fit height.
@jacques24 open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all code, paste to pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s page.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files. TMA’s demo in woothemes.com is not working, so if you have a URI of a site with TMA activated, that would be good for my reference.
Found this in BP trac. See if solution works in your installation https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4523
== but i dont have that folder in my server so i get a “page not found error. ==
Virtual pages ala folders are created and won’t be seen in your server at all. You mentioned that you have WP/BP installed in a subdirectory, mysite.com/wordpress/ What do you have installed in domain root mysite.com? HTML or PHP or something else?
@archer09 first, keep BuddyPress activated and change to Twenty Eleven theme. Then click on the Installation Wizard again and go through the process. When you reach the point for theme choice, choose BP Default theme first as you can always activate Sahifa theme later. After you finish with the wizard, keep on BP Default theme and test your BP installation. When you’re satisfied that everything’s working well, then change to Sahifa theme.
== In my profile page (http://www.luchotv.com/miembros/Luciano/profile/) it says “Base Name” with just my name as information, it looks like a group even though groups were disabled. ==
No, this is not part of a Group/Group Forums at all. /Luciano/profile/edit/group/1/ refers to the first group of Profile Fields. As you can create more profile fields based on your community, you can also create more than one group of Profile Fields to organize profile information – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#users-profile-fields
– Note that all the fields you add in the first group of Profile Fields will also show up in the Registration Form if you have that enabled. Those in the 2nd group or so will only show up in e.g. /Luciano/profile/edit/group/2/ and /Luciano/profile/edit/group/3/ if you have more than one or two groups of Profile Fields.
@buddhatunes the “blogs” page with regards to BP is the Blogs Directory page which only shows up if you have gone multisite (created a network). Unless you’re referring to something else entirely ….
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`
`
with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`
`
with the following for registration/register.php:
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
Save files.
C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/esplanade/
D. Copy the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste to your theme’s stylesheet. Adjust to taste.
@infodebroekriemnl Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your esplanade theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your esplanade theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
with the following:
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
` or `
` to
`
`
where applicable, then move this to above `
Save files.
If it’s just the link at the menu item, you can just edit the page name and slug in page edit panel, then go to Settings> Pages and choose the new blog menu name from select box and click on Save. You know you’d also have to change title of the Blogs Directory page in yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/yourthemename/blogs/index.php in this line
@ronnie_fantastic Looking good.
1. Missing BuddyPress styles: Go to Appearance > BP Compatibility. and uncheck “Disable BP Template Pack CSS”
– you need the BP template pack CSS to properly align the BuddyPress sections.
2. Enable registration: Go to Settings > General and look for the line where you allow registration (it’s off by default)
3. “It has what looks like a 2 cell table with ‘Base’ written above it and the name/username within”
– This is the Profile page and it shows profile fields. BP Codex is your friend https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/
== I have “user groups” turned off in buddypress and “enable group forums” turned off too in bbpress. ==
@lucianoippolito
1. You need to turn off “Discussion Groups” in Settings > BuddyPress > Components if you only want Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin) https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/#c-set-up-sitewide-forums-only
2. For good measure, delete “foro grupos” page in Pages > All Pages and delete it permanently
3. Delete bb-config.php file generated at root of your installation
@wpinklady you have numerous issues in your installation. Answered you at link posted above. Please continue discussion there.
Re Events Manager plugin -> please go to https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager then click on the Support link and post the errors showing up when you activate Events Manager with BP on. Do provide more information about your installation for the plugin dev
Re “join group” link -> is this issue related to Events Manager? If not, have you checked whether this is a theme issue (change to bp-default) or another plugin conflict?
WP/BP versions? Single/multisite? where are you hosted? Windows/Linux?
Any member can create group/s and thereby enable Group Forums unless otherwise prevented in BP Settings or plugin.
Strange.
Try Pages > Add New –> Activity (in title and nothing in text area) then publish. Then go to Settings > BuddyPress > Pages panel and choose the newly created Activity page and click on Save. See if that works.
@villnoweric After activating BuddyPress, you need to go through the Installation Wizard https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/
Also, double-check Settings > Permalinks, it should be set to other than default permalink structure. BP requires “pretty permalinks”
B. CREATE a blank sidebar-buddypress.php file
Open up the blank sidebar-buddypress.php and add content from:
– http://pastebin.com/W7tT40tw
Save file.
C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/ronnie_fantastic/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are
D. Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.
@ronnie_fantastic thanks for following up. You will only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php instead of changing 16 template files.
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your ronnie_fantastic theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your ronnie_fantastic theme folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /members, /groups, /register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.
A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php
Open up header-buddypress.php and at the BOTTOM of the file, below other code contained within, add code from:
– http://pastebin.com/DYBuCJe0
Save file.
@laprek please start a new topic for your yootheme downtown theme and post the links to the files I requested from free3dart above. We’ll see.
You can use a responsive WordPress theme and install the BP Template Pack plugin to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. We have a list of “template-packed” WP themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes. This is the route you should take if you’re planning to launch your site this month or early next month. There’s still BP 1.6.2 coming out sometime December https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap and no set schedule as to when BP 1.7 is coming out yet.
@ant01 BP Codex is your friend

I suggest that you use BP Default theme while you’re setting up BuddyPress and test driving to see if everything is working as expected. If all’s well, then you focus on the theme:
– create a child theme of BP Default theme OR
– choose a WP theme and install BP Template pack plugin and go through BP compatibility process. We have a list of “template-packed” WP themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes OR
– choose a free or paid ready-made BP child theme OR
– choose a free or paid BP-ready/compatible WordPress theme
@mistichd site crash as in white/blank pages or cannot access wp-admin? https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/
Which forum are you referring to – Group Forum topic or Sitewide forum topic? Have you tried changing to bp-default theme and deactivating other plugins except BP
