== My theme is the arras theme. ==

@allthingsbetting You could copy over some of the style mods to twenty ten theme to the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet then adjust to taste – esp `div.item-list-tabs` and `div#subnav.item-list-tabs` where you have to bring in the negative margins which expand the width of those navigation items.

Add also the following to your style.css
`div.padder {
background: #fff none;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 0 10px 15px 0;
padding: 0 15px;
}`

Plus some unsolicited advice – you have URL’s with members-3/ and groups-2/ which is not cool. Back up DB.
Delete the current Pages “Members” and “Groups”. Go to trash and delete all “Members” and “Groups” Pages > Permanently. Go create new Members and Groups pages. You’ll see clean members/ and groups/ url’s

== Now the group forums will not uninstall. ==
@angrywookie There’s a final task for the group forums uninstall -> delete the bb-config.php file generated when group forums were installed. You’d find bb-config.php at the root of your WP install, the same directory where you have your wp-config.php file https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/4/#forums-faqs

For sitewide forums (bbPress plugin) – add shortcodes https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

You’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.

There are two ways to make theme compatible with BP template pack – change 16 files (works in all WP themes) OR add foo-buddypress.php files (possible in some themes) – and it will depend on div#container location and other factors.

What theme are you using? I can take a look. Open up header.php, copy all, paste in http://www.pastebin.com, click submit, and post the generated URI here. Do the same for index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php PLUS loop.php or better yet, loop-page.php if you it.

>>I’m using Membership with Buddypress

Membership plugin?

>>and the name won’t display in the user profile even though we are taking that information when they sign up.

What name? Username or display name? If you deactivate Membership plugin, does that resolve the issue?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

Deactivate plugins except BuddyPress and BP Template Pack plugin (if you’re using it). Default WP/BP install privacy does not cause that behavior.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

@famous you’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

add to your wp-config.php file https://codex.buddypress.org/bp_enable_multiblog/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

== If I can’t do that, then Buddypress isn’t going to work for me. I’m a newbie when it comes to wordpress and php ==

@naimickmac23 there’s no BP plugin at this time that does that for the Activity Stream. It is do-able but you’d either have to code it yourself or hire a developer to do so. This can be do-able as well without BuddyPress, as neononcom mentioned above you could set up a form where users can post the required fields. If you need assistance with these forms, do post at the WordPress forums.

@neononcon you can make an enhancement request at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

@j_p_s thanks for posting here. Looking forward to your update.

Two plugins you can use

please do not post numerous topics about the same issue. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/bp-profile-redirect-question/

WP/BP can scale up to thousands of users – one can only be limited by server and skillsets. What do you mean by safe?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

I haven’t seen any cincopa plugins which are compatible with WP 3.3.2 and BP 1.5.5 or I might have missed it. Which cincopa plugin are you referring to? Check the info provided in the plugin page on the right sidebar which indicate which version the plugin is compatible with. If not compatible with latest WP/BP versions, deactivate the plugin.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

“Nivo Slider for WordPress” is compatible up to WP 3.2.1 so might as well find other Nivo plugin.

As for BP Corporate theme, it probably needs to be upgraded. If you’re adventurous:
a. backup your BP Corporate Theme
b. Install/activate Theme Check plugin and when you check the theme, you might find issues which might include instructions on how to resolve such.
c. After b) Install/activate Log Deprecated Notices plugin. Go to front end and click on a few links. Then go to wp-admin Tools > Deprecated Notices and check issues in theme, if any.

@musicdesigns @likoma created a child theme of Woo Canvas and used BP template pack plugin. What I posted above are the instructions for template pack, and it’s done.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

== Do I just create a couple of directories in my child template like so…/members/single/ and replace home.php with my own? ==

That’s the right way
wp-content/themes/YourChildThemeFolder/members/single/home.php

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

@bboywattsy looks like you’ve fixed the issue. Culprit = cache plugin?
