You’re welcome 
Marking this as resolved.
@blinkybill01 there’s a get_sidebar call in index.php and none in page.php, Did you want a/another sidebar in your BP template pages? Better yet, could you create a new Page called Test and link it here so I can see what’s up with your theme’s pages?
Code moved to http://wp.me/p1I84P-1n
@mahdiar Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you will be only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to make the BP templates compatible with your theme.
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your complete theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your 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.
@blinkybill01 99% of the time, it’s different instructions for different themes because of the variety of HTML structures/template tags..
== The theme I’m using, and it’s subject to change, is called “The Secret World” ==
Are you going to change your theme or shall we proceed with the compatibility process?
@jomjom the modifications I gave were for the page with sidebar -> page.php
@mahdiar have you done some basic troubleshooting? e.g. Change to bp-default theme and deactivate plugins except BuddyPress.to identify what is causing such behavior. Which WP theme are you using with bp template pack?
@workingman you’re welcome. Marking this topic as resolved
@gyoo if https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/admired is the Admired theme you’re referring to, we already have instructions for BP compatibility process at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddy-press-not-working-with-my-current-theme/
@frank13 @neononcon just go to your profile here at buddypress.org and change “Name (required)” profile field to something other than your username.
@sindbad_chen might be a theme issue. Change to bp-default theme.
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`
`
with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`
<?php if (get_option('instyle_integration_single_bottom') ” && get_option(‘instyle_integrate_singlebottom_enable’) == ‘on’) echo(get_option(‘instyle_integration_single_bottom’)); ?>
`
with the following for registration/register.php:
`
<?php if (get_option('instyle_integration_single_bottom') ” && get_option(‘instyle_integrate_singlebottom_enable’) == ‘on’) echo(get_option(‘instyle_integration_single_bottom’)); ?>
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/instyle/
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.
@jomjom No wonder the instructions for compatibility for instyle theme last year was not working for you, the code from instyle’s page.php from last year has changed a lot (see http://pastebin.com/1PcjiXK9 from original poster)
Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your instyle theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
Since you’ve revised the BP template files, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders transferred to your theme’s folder in server during the compatibility process -> /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run dashboard 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:
`
<?php if (get_option('instyle_integration_single_top') ” && get_option(‘instyle_integrate_singletop_enable’) == ‘on’) echo(get_option(‘instyle_integration_single_top’)); ?>
Save files.
@raminjan just use a regular WP theme like Twenty Ten, no need for bbPress version. Check out BP Codex Twenty Ten child theme with BP template pack plugin for reference -> https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/
@raminjan more info needed – e.g. BP/WP versions? What plugins are activated? What theme are you using, etc – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/
@calico_owl either you hire a developer to migrate this for you or better yet, do it yourself.
As always, back up database plus server folders so you can always revert to your old installation if migration doesn’t work out. Then again, you can always set up separate installation and import database (changing URI’s first) from your existing installation and test it first.
Note that users will have to log in once after BP is activated to show up in the Members Directory page.
@maggieymae forums page at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
Favorites are user picks for posts, forum topics ,et al which show up in Activity Streams and listed in your profile’s “My Favorites” tab
@venkateshmothe the custom post plugin has not been updated for BP 1.5+, so delete the plugin from your installation
== BuddyPress does not even show up in the individual dashboards’ “Plugins” screen ==
@b747fp It’s because BP can only be network-activated for a multisite installation.
== how do i get buddypress to work on all 64 sites through MultiSite? ==
BP is already working on all 64 sites in MS installation by tracking/logging blog posts sitewide
if you want to have people posting in the Activity stream without going to the main site or in subsite you defined BP to run in, then check this out https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/bp_enable_multiblog/ (see usage)
Closing this topic. OP has changed to Mingle forums plugin.
@dailyblog https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/ for bbPress 2.+ plugin aka Sitewide Forums.
There’s no updated plugin for the BP Group Forums.
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`

with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`
<?php the_widget('WP_Widget_Text', 'title=Page Sidebar – Right&text=You could add some widgets in this area.', 'before_title=

with the following for registration/register.php:

jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {

C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/collection/

@lakhlu late as this may be … Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your collection theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your 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 `
`, AND move tag and title to above `
Save files.
You’re welcome. Marking this topic as resolved.
