What theme are you using? What archive-slug did you assign to your Sitewide Forums – forums? Did you create a page named forums then? In other words, can you give the steps to what you’ve done so far so we can get a better perspective? Reference: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@indieconnect Good luck.

@hnla I know, I know, Atahualpa’s tables and all. But it’s a valid request for a popular theme plus it’s much much much better than the Artisteer” themes which I have declined to “template-pack-it” even if table-less. Having said that, all customization requests for BP-Atahualpa layout should be sent to theme author

== you must have a good working list of themes now? for a codex list ? ==
Done it, I did I’d already started compiling and adding to the list of all template-packed themes (45+) assisted in forums and 3 posted in Codex. My last update includes Atahualpa.https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@indieconnect @etienne-r-2 I installed Atahualpa. Changing instructions. I had to hardcode for fixed 3 column layout, delete extraneous code, add styles via theme options page and move wp_footer to where it’s supposed to be (before closing body tag), etc.

Create BLANK header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and footer-buddypress.php files

1) header-buddypress.php – copy all from http://pastebin.com/jv4EdjnK and save

2) sidebar-buddypress.php – leave blank

3) footer-buddypress.php – copy all from http://pastebin.com/DksDP4Mc and save

Upload 3 files to theme folder in server

Then go to your dashboard Appearance > Atahualpa Theme Options > Add HTML/CSS Inserts – CSS Inserts section

4) Add the following styles under h1 to h6 default styles in the box – http://pastebin.com/thcGExQg

You have to tweak your styles a little more. Use Firebug, a Firefox add-on to identify what you need to tweak and add them in the CSS inserts section of your theme options page.

@sheilahash
– We’re aware of the issue. Search via Google in the meantime. Thanks for your patience.

– Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and see if issue is corrected. If not, deactivate BuddyPress and check if same issue happens with your regular WP registration.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

== I have already running custom permalinks as /%city_name%/%post_id%/. ==
@nookeet Change custom permalink to what’s available on panel other than default and see if issue is resolved.

What WP theme are you using with BP Template Pack plugin?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@jafar1374 Change the styles of div#sidebar and div#content .padder in your RTL stylesheet to

[UPDATED 04-24-2012 From default.css for right sidebar structure]
`div#content {
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 6px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 6px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 6px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;
border-top-left-radius: 6px;
border-top-right-radius: 6px;
float: left;
width: 100%;
}

div#content .padder {
border-right: 1px solid #ddd;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 6px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 6px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 6px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;
border-top-left-radius: 6px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;
margin-right: 225px;
}

div#sidebar {
border-left: 1px solid #ddd;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 3px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 3px;
border-top-right-radius: 3px;

width: 224px;
}`

== , to check if the changes were rendering, which they are not. ==
@nathanwoulfe Sanity Check. When you say child theme, do you mean child theme of the bp-default theme? If not, if you have a child theme of a regular WP theme, have you installed the BP Template Pack plugin and have gone through Appearance > BP Compatibility process?
WP/BP versions?

== a h3 tag [h3][?php _e( ‘Site Activity’, ‘buddypress’ ); ?][/h3] that isn’t rendering either… ==
– I’ll assume that you used brackets instead of the “ symbols so that they show up in forum post. Know that you don’t have to use brackets, just surround your code with backticks, symbol you see between parentheses `( ` )`
– the Site Activity title doesn’t show up in Activity Directory page when user is logged in

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@jende The avatars in the sidebar widgets are constrained down to 40px x 40px via stylesheet. The actual avatar size is 50px x 50px. You could change the avatar size via your bp-default child theme’s style.css file like so:
`#footer-widget-area div.item-avatar img, /* remove this line if you only want to change size in right sidebar */
div#sidebar div.item-avatar img {
height: 50px;
margin: 1px;
width: 50px;
}`

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@abovenbelow what white background, where?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@dave953 I suggest that you set up a separate WP/BP test site using different DB on the same server where your current WP is installed. That way, you can test BP, different BP plugins and/or themes first before installing or introducing it to your users in your main site.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@coxis123 It’s the other way around. You need to make your Thesis theme compatible with BuddyPress. We use the BP Template Pack plugin to make WP themes compatible with BP.

Overview to the compatibility process and the list of WP themes at the bottom of the same page that we’ve made BP-compatible at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/ see “BuddyPress isn’t sending out emails (eg. activation emails, email notifications)”

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

WP/BP versions? Did you install WordPress manually or via webhost script like fantastico or simplescripts etc? Have you tried re-uploading BuddyPress again manually via FTP to plugins folder. Basic troubleshooting includes deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

So what you want to add another widget area after the login form in your sidebar. You would have to register a new widget area in your child theme’s new functions.php file, then add a new get_sidebar call under the code of the login form in your sidebar.php. See how: http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/11/08/sidebars-in-wordpress

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

1) BuddyPress requires “pretty permalinks” so go to Settings > Permalinks and set to something other than default and Save.

2) If you do not see any “Repair” link after that announcement, go to BuddyPress > Pages and create or associate the pages https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#bp-pages

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Check out http://buddydev.com/buddypress/limit-groups-per-user-plugin-for-buddypress/
I think @sbrajesh also made another similar plugin but with different parameters which you’ll find in that site.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

– Install BuddyPress and test it in your server using the bp-default theme.
– If everything’s working well, change to the Atahualpa theme or another WP theme,
– Install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin then go through the Appearance > BP Compatibility process to transfer the BP template folders to Atahualpa theme folder in server.
– Upload the header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php file to your theme folder

Just a thought, you didn’t delete your theme’s header.php right? You shouldn’t

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

You’re welcome. Thumbs up to you too for your persistence

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@naijaping Here’s how/where I posted the code
`

<a href="”>

@

<a class="edit-my" href="profile/edit/” >Edit Profile

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

It should. Are you sure you uploaded the revised index.php file into same directory structure as in themes/yourWPBPtheme/activity/index.php in your server? Cleared cache? What changes did you make?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

== my ‘Create new user link is gone’. ==

You mean the one in dashboard menu Users > Add New or via plugin?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

There’s a very simple formula. For example you want to increase sidebar to 300px, you add this to your stylesheet. See the pattern? Adjust to taste.

div#sidebar {
margin-left: -302px;
width: 300px;
}

div#content .padder {
margin-right: 301px;
}

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

The sidebar is on the right in the bp-default theme.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@naijaping as site admin, you will see the link. Clear cache and check it while using a regular member account.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

== i have interchanged group activity button with personal activity button ==
How did you change it? And where did you make the changes, in your child theme?
