@edgarestradac What theme are you using? Let’s see if we can help. Open up your theme’s header.php, copy all, paste in pastebin.com, click submit, post the generated pastebin.com url here. Do the same for your theme’s page.php, index.php, sidebar.php, footer.php files.

@edgarestradac We have “template-packed” a number of WP themes with instructions/fixes on Step 3 of the BP compatibility process. Check if your WP theme is listed already at the bottom half of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

1. No, you don’t need to install bbPress plugin aka Sitewide Forums as well if you don’t need it in your specific installation. Having said that, know that per roadmap, come BP 1.6, group forums will be migrated into Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin). For installation of Group/Sitewide Forums https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

2. BuddyPress is a WP plugin, so no problem there at all. I test on XAMPP so I don’t know what challenges you face on a WAMP server, maybe someone can chime in on this one.

Did you check out BP Codex – to start off:

Sure they can post on single WP. You just have to upgrade their default role from “subscriber” to at least a “contributor” (needs your approval before post is published) or an “author” (can publish right away) and they’ll post from the backend (wp-admin Post > Add New).

Or, not change their roles and use Simple Front End Post plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/

And/Or, just allow them to post in Group’s blog using this plugin http://buddydev.com/buddypress/blog-categories-for-groups-plugin/

I suggest that you also post at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/u-buddypress-forum-attachment

I hope you back up your database regularly.

You can start off by using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-hierarchy/ then proceed from there.

@jen915 WP themes can be made compatible with BuddyPress by installing and activating the BP Template Pack plugin then going through Appearance > BP Compatibility process. The last step would basically involve copying and pasting from the code I posted above to a file created above per instruction and uploading it to server.

Since I have never used Karma theme, I cannot offer any guarantee that even after you’ve fixed the layout of the BP template files to adopt your theme’s layout, that there won’t be any javascript or AJAX conflicts – as I’ve seen in 2 of the more advanced themes.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

Per roadmap, BP 1.6 ==> BP Group Forums will be migrated to Sitewide Forums/bbPress 2.1 which is more easily indexed by Google

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

@jen915 WP/BP versions? Did you go through the Installation Wizard after activating BuddyPress? What are the URI’s of your BuddyPress Pages? I get blank pages when I go to your site and append /groups or /members to your domain uri.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

@artsupplywarehouse the new links have been added to the Help Us Help You page. Thanks for the reminder to update the links.

== Does the same thing in the bp-default theme? ==

Are you asking me if the issue will still be there using bp-default theme or are you telling me that it’s doing the same thing using the bp-default theme and mistakenly added the question mark?

The thing is, there’s something wrong with your BP theme – Bodybuilder Yukon ‘child theme – or your customization of the theme. I can’t even open up the site activity page. There are BP pages like my test account > activity > friends which is not rendering at all and the source code shows that it ends at “ Aside from which, each page takes too long to load, So different from what I see for example at http://demos.ithemes.com/buddypress/yukon/members/justin/

Is this a test site or did you install WP/BP in a physical subdirectory?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

You’re welcome. Marking this as resolved then

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

What theme are you using? If you purchased a BP theme, the theme author should know what needs to be updated/corrected in theme.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

You mean your Archive Slug for your Sitewide Forums and the Page name were also xforumsx as per your post above, Buddypress Forums page ( http://msflights.net/xforumsx ) ?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

That would require major changes in your theme files. See how @sbrajesh at BuddyDev help others do this http://buddydev.com/forums/topic/ajax-tabs
DISCLAIMER – you’d need to update some deprecated or revised template tags/functions.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

That would be at line 27 of https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php which should be located at wp-content/themes/yourCurrentTheme/registration/register.php

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

@magoo25 glad you resolved it. If you were using a WP theme with BP template pack, that means that the transfer of BP template files to your active WP theme was corrupted/incomplete otherwise you wouldn’t have had to upload settings.php into your theme folder..

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

… you need to create a plugin for that or hire a dev to do so …

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

Please post at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/ which has its own feed which some follow and at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

Marking this as resolved then

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

That’s really weird. Given that you’ve not gone through the Installation wizard as seen here https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/ go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > to all links to configure different components of BuddyPress as seen here https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

With Gravity Forms disabled, register a new account with only BP profile fields you created. Then check if you can edit profile with default BP profile fields.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

I saw the same question at stackexchange and it’s answered there

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

Funny, I just answered your post at bbPress forums https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/is-bbpress-compatible-with-wp-332

Yes it is compatible.
