@hiresphereadmin please contact theme devs or check out their forums if someone has resolved same issue.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

Kudos @aces

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

@rahul247rocks just to clarify, are you using the WP default theme, Twenty Eleven, or BP default theme, bp-default ? Site URL?

@hiresphereadmin this is something you should ask theme devs. If you already did, what did they say is causing the issue?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

You need to enable the forum for your Group first. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/4/#enable-group-forum

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

You should contact theme devs about why the theme fails to upgrade in your server. Perhaps you can get a zipped file instead and do a manual upload of the files to theme folder in server.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

What theme are you using? Have you changed back to bp-default theme to check if issue is corrected there? Did you disable Account Settings and/or other components in BuddyPress > Components?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

Some themes have not been updated for BP 1.5+ To make sure that this is not an outdated theme issue, please change to bp-default theme. Then try to register and see if issue is corrected.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

@skimpy2 if you’re referring to the Group Hierarchy plugin, then do post at plugin’s forum which the plugin dev checks out https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-group-hierarchy/forum/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

@hiresphereadmin hasn’t this been resolved along with your pages? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/pages-not-found-3/

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

Go to admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages and save

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

If you mean blog posts, In wp-admin, change user roles to Authors.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

Open up your chlid theme’s functions.php file and replace this:
`function bpcol_register_sidebars() {
register_sidebar(
array(
‘id’ => ‘left sidebar’,
‘name’ => ‘Left Sidebar’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘before_title’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_title’ => ‘

‘
)
);
}`
with
`function bpcol_register_sidebars() {
register_sidebar( array(
‘id’ => ‘left sidebar’,
‘name’ => ‘Left Sidebar’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘before_title’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_title’ => ‘

‘
) );
register_sidebar( array(
‘id’ => ‘homepage-widget’,
‘name’ => ‘Home Page Widget’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘before_title’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_title’ => ‘

‘
) );
}`

Then open up index.php of the chid theme and add the following between “ and `

`
`

`

Save both files and upload to the child theme folder in server.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

To check If your permalinks are correct, what do you have in your .htaccess file? Windows/Linux server? Using bp-default theme or other theme?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

It’s documented in functions code.
– Build a child theme of bp-default theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
– To change header height/width, create a functions.php in child theme folder and apply filters per https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L91
– To change `#header h1`, in same child theme’s functions.php you’ll override parent theme’s function (lines 213 to 270) at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php with:
`function bp_dtheme_admin_header_style() {
?>

// add/revise styles you see in file

<?php
}`

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

With you upgrade to WP 3.3, you also need to upgrade to BP 1.5.2 to change how the stylesheets are enqueued to clean up styling in dashboard.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

Before going through the theme compability process, you have to go through the proper installation of BuddyPress through the wizard first, hence no BP Compatibility link in Appearance dashboard menu.

Before going through the BP installation wizard, make backups of your database and server files first. If you’re using the same server where BP ‘crashed’ the site, then there’s a possibility it could crash again, or it might not crash since there have been major code improvements already.

Please do your backups now.

Calling @foxly @karmatosed etc. who have access to Google spreadsheet.

Question also, should we still have that list in codex pages?

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

Your members directory would be in yoursite.com/members assuming you haven’t changed the slug and that you installed BP in main site.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

When you build a bp-default child theme, you’ll need to add a style.css file. That’s where you can add the changes. To identify what element you need to change, install Firebug add-on for Firefox and right-click on the element or use Chrome and right-click to inspect element.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

You need to create a plugin to do that a la post-thumbnails for Posts/Pages and it’s not going to be easy.

@TitanT30 You’re welcome. I can see where we need to adjust – the trade-off for creating 2 files instead of changing 16 files for BP compatibility

I just added `background: #ffffff;` and `width: 800px;` to the code posted above. You need to add that at the bottom of your stylesheet, style.css file

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

“For the time being, your display name needs to be different than your login to update your activity stream.” per JJJ at bottom of this page https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/forum-conduct/

Or, use Google. It’s indexed our forums pretty well. So enter “Buddypress.org anok4u2 keyword-phrase-used” in Google search.

[@mercime Participant 14 years, 10 months ago]

You’re welcome. Marking this as resolved then
