== i just want to know if buddypress has a easy way to change the colours ==

You mean you want to create a child theme of bp-default theme and make it look like Motion theme? Change colors via child theme’s stylesheet.

If that’s not what you meant .. the theme used in the BP Template Pack walkthrough is a WP theme which you can download https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/motion That example was done some time ago, so if you find different divs in the new version of Motion theme, feel free to ask for assistance here.

Theme author of Suffusion theme has a created a plugin to make Suffusion compatible with BuddyPress, so you don’t need to install and activate BP Template Pack plugin

Per check, the content your original sidebar2 has changed. It should contain what you have in pastebin link you posted above. Copy content in pastebin to your sidebar2

EDIT – I see you found what was wrong and deleted previous post
Marking this as resolved.

@andreao No need to put codes. Change to bp-default theme and deactivate plugins except BuddyPress to troubleshoot. WP/BP versions? Single WP or WP Multisite? Linux or Windows hosting?

== … but you haven’t completed the setup process. Visit the BP Compatibility page to wrap up. ==

So go to wp-admin dashboard menu Appearance > BP Compatibility and click on Save/Finish button.

== in the groups and members button, the buddypress apparence seem too high … ==

You can add something like the following to your stylesheet:
`div#content { margin-top: 20px; }`

== you can try to clic on the ”test” button, it does’nt work anymore ==

The “test” page on your site was working when I checked it before we did Step 3 of the compatibility process. Checking it now.

Re: Cropping Avatars

Change to bp-default theme and check if you can crop there. If you can, well and good. If not, check out some trouble-shooting tips https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#wp-configuration

Re: Theme Compatibility

First thing’s first. Before making any WP theme (downloaded outside of WP theme repository) compatible with BuddyPress, make sure that it is secure. Download the Theme Check Plugin and see if there are warnings or required generated when you run the theme check. WP Theme Repo for example only accepts themes which do not contain warnings and required items.

I have just downloaded a copy of gamespeed per your link above and there are obfuscated code within 2 files I checked out so far – at the bottom of the theme’s functions.php file and all of footer.php file. Because of that, I can’t help you since I need all the HTML information in footer.php among other theme files for the BP Compatibility Process.

@snowlas You’re welcome and Congratulations. Glad you resolved layout to your satisfaction

B. Copy your theme’s sidebar2.php file and save as sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and add the following at the top of the file, above all other code:
`

`

And at the very bottom of the same file, below other code add this:
`

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 file.

Upload both header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to wp-content/themes/folder-of-your-templatemonster-theme/

Twenty Ten Child theme with BP Template Pack styling modifications for reference – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

Solution for your theme is different from that of ray of light theme because your theme has a different HTML structure.

A. Copy your theme’s header.php file and save as header-buddypress.php

Open up header-buddypress.php and add the following to the bottom of the file below other code:
`

<div class="post" id="post-“>

`

Save file.

This is not a BuddyPress issue. The Secure Invites plugin as seen at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-secure-invites/ has not been updated since March 2011.

Either contact the plugin dev if he’s still going to update the plugin or find an alternative. Check out e.g. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

Something is wrong. Let’s start with:

– WP/BP versions?

– Single WP or WP Multisite?

– Did you go through the installation wizard after you activated BuddyPress? https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/

– Did you install/activate BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress? https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

– URI to the page you were referring to where it just showed list of titles.

== Am unable to access my dashboard to deactivate. Any advice? ==
Rename the buddypress folder in wp-content/plugins/ to e.g. buddypress-xx

== My site keeps sending me messages saying pages (members, forums, etc) have been added to the site. ==
Did you install a plugin like Demo Data Creator or BuddyPress Default Data? If not, then people are still able to log in despite the fact that you cannot – which is not likely.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

B. Copy the theme’s sidebar.php and save as sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and at the very top of the file, above other code, add this:
`
`

At the very bottom of the same file, below other code, add this:
`

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 file.

Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your server wp-content/themes/wp-creativix/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

@ki450751 I see you’ve installed BP Template Pack and have gone through the BP Compatibility process. Click on the Finish button and let’s proceed to the nitty gritty.

For the WP Creativix theme as seen here https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/wp-creativix

A. Copy the theme’s header.php and save as header-buddypress.php

Open up header-buddypress.php, at the very bottom of the file below other code, add this:
`

`

Save file.

Sorry, but that is beyond the scope of the assistance I already provided here. Know that most of us who assist here are volunteers. If you are not able to make the basic template changes, you need to find someone or hire someone to do this for you e.g. at http://jobs.wordpress.net and refer them to this post.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

Save files. Upload the 6 BP folders with the revised template files to your server wp-content/themes/ray-of-light/

If there are any issues, point your theme developer to this topic. I’m sure they can identify faster any missing or superfluous divs around in the post.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

At the bottom of all template files replace:
`

`

with the following for all template files except /registration/register.php:

`

`

with the following for /registration/register.php file:
`

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();
});
});

Based on the HTML structure of the Ray of Light theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP Template folders transferred to your ray of light theme folder when you ran Appearance > BP Compatibility https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Download those 6 BP folders to your computer hard drive.

At the top of all the 16 template files per link I gave above, replace:
`

`

with
