I have no idea just looking at the images. Site url? If not, you could ask the theme developer to look over the information above and give the correct template structure.
Enable JS by not checking the box and click on Save.
Closing this, you posted the same in the other thread which I’ve renamed to reflect your issue. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/nothing-on-pages/

There’s also a year-old solution which you might want to check out https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-buddypress#post-1796598
Open up you 13thfloor theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php in the same theme folder. Open up header-buddypress.php and at the very bottom of the file, below other code, add:
``
Save and upload to theme folder in server in same level as header.php fileOpen up your 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:
``
Save and upload to theme folder in server in same level as sidebar.php fileYou have to add the following to your 13thfloor’s stylesheet:
`#content div.padder {
float: left;
width: 560px;
}`
the above will take the place of #content-area which is not available in BP template files.Furthermore, you might want to modify the styles included in BP Template Pack, check out the mods used in this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/
In reply to: BuddyPress computability with BPressIn reply to: everything goes blank== I’m trying to install buddypress on my custom theme ==
Change to Twenty Ten or Twenty Eleven theme then activate BuddyPress then change to bp-default or your custom theme.
If that doesn’t work, it may be that you need to increase memory https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/
In reply to: Can’t create a forum in my groups?The link above has everything to do with the problem in many cases because it shows that you should enable forums in your groups first so that you can post a topic in the Group Forums.
== So if I use the BuddyPress Template Pack I need to modify a number of templates or modify the header.php, footer.php, and sidebar.php and rename them header-buddypress.php, footer-buddypress.php, and sidebar-buddypress.php. ==
You don’t modify header.php, footer.php and sidebar.php. You copy those files and name the copies as header-buddypress.php, footer-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php respectively. You only copy and rename copy of such file/s only if you need it/them. And, only the BP template files transferred to your theme folder in server will use them, i.e. your regular WP theme files won’t use those xxxx-buddypress.php files.
== I think I actually only need to modify sidebar-buddypress.php. Do I leave the name of the file sidebar-buddypress.php? . ==
sidebar-buddypress.php will only affect the sidebar of the BP Template files transferred to your WP theme’s folder in server. If there’s no sidebar-buddypress.php, the BP template files will take on your WP theme’s sidebar.php
== I have also considered creating a child theme using my current theme as the parent theme. Would this be a better way to go then editing template files? ==
If your WP theme is actively maintained/updated by theme developer, and contains info that encourages you to build a child theme for your customizations, then do so. Whether you use your WP theme or create a child theme of your WP theme, you would still need to install and activate the BP Template Pack and go through the BP Compatibility Process.
If you have ascertained that you only need to create header-buddypress.php and/or footer-buddypress.php and or sidebar-buddypress.php in Step 3 of the compatibility process, then good for you. When you need to upgrade BP Template Pack plugin later, you won’t have to change anything with either of 3 xxx=buddypress.php files in your theme folder..
In reply to: HELP! Buddypress/Platform theme Pages not aligned== I’m using the Platform theme version 1.4.2 which during installation said was compatible.==
That’s because the theme author tagged the theme “buddypress” which is misleading since the theme may be BP-friendly but it doesn’t contain any BuddyPress templates. You will need to install and activate BP Template Pack plugin and go through the BP Compatibility process to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
>> However the index.php file seemed to be a buddypress file
It is the BP Blogs Directory template file. How did it get at the root of your 13th floor theme? I suggest that you get another copy of your 13thfloor theme, and double-check the index.php file which I’m pretty sure won’t be the BP file and re-upload to your theme file in server.This leads to — could you just make sure first that you have 6 BP template folders – activity, blogs, forums, groups, members, register – transferred into your 13thflor theme folder in server? Check the /blogs/ folder and make sure there’s at least an index.php file there. Have to make sure everything’s in order before we proceed.
Find bb-config.php file in your server, usually where you will find wp-config.php file
Open it up and double-check database information is correct. Basically, should be the same database info in your wp-config.php file.
If database info is correct, did you enable your Group’s Forum? https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/4/#forums-faqs
In reply to: hide admin from members listYou mean you don’t want the Admin to be included in the list of members in members directory?
In reply to: Bad navigation bar css in members areaViewing source, looks like you’re using Genesis child theme. I believe you need to purchase Genesis Connect plugin to make your Genesis child theme compatible with BuddyPress.
In reply to: Adjusting width of BP PagesI’m getting 404 page with your link.
In reply to: can’t add borders with css to anythingHave you tried using Firebug, Firefox add-on, to check what’s going on? Or using Chrome to inspect element? In addition, not enough information was provided to make any definite determination of your issue.
In reply to: error 404 – page not found?There have been tons of bug fixes since BP 1.2+ to current BP 1.5.3.1 version but I don’t recall a bug on who’s online avatar. On the other hand, could be simply conflct with theme and/or plugins.
Open up 13floor header.php, copy code and post to pastebin.com, click submit button and post the generated URL here. Do the same for your index.php, page.php, single.php and sidebar.php.
In reply to: Forum – not workingWhat views in BP Codex have different screens and features? https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
In reply to: My buddypress site is not loading anyRename the plugin folder by accessing server files via FTP/cpanel/etc.
In reply to: Cannot see Buddypress plugin to activateIn a multisite installation, you will find BuddyPress in Network Admin only and it must be activated sitewide to track and enter posts/activities from subsites/sublogs. If you do not want BP to “show up” in subsites, delete `define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );`
In reply to: Profile data not working,Basic troubleshooting – change to bp-default theme and deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and see if issue is corrected.
In reply to: My buddypress site is not loading anyWhat did you activate before this happened? If it’s a theme, rename theme folder in wp-content/themes/ . If it’s a plugin, then rename the plugins folder in wp-content/
Just to be clear, are you referring to the post excerpts in the Activity Stream or are you referring to the site Activity feed as in http://yoursite.com/activity/feed which is quite different. Have you checked out the Gravity Forms forums or contacted the Gravity plugin devs about this?
In reply to: Registration and Activation pages missingWhat theme are you using? If it’s bp-default theme that’s missing those files, download another copy of BuddyPress, unzip and upload the /registration/ folder which contains the register.php and activate.php files
