If you can access wp-admin, deactivate all plugins. If you can’t access wp-admin, access plugins folder in server via FTP/cpanel/etc. and rename plugins folder to e.g. plugins-xx
@PrimeSuspect there’s a second method now in BP template pack to make your theme compatible with BP and it would be appropriate for your theme. I need you to go to a page on your site and View Source Code. Copy all and paste in pastebin.com and post the generated URL here. I need it to compare HTML with the source of page template you posted.
Yes. You asked “how to stop people from making groups and creating backlinks to sites like viagra.com” and that’s straight out-of-the-box solution for Site/Super Admins. Any other way would require creation of a plugin.
To help you update your theme,
1. set WP_DEBUG to true in wp-config.php
2. Install, activate and run Theme Check plugin
3. Install and activate Debogger plugin
4. Install and activate Log Deprecated Notices plugin
When you run the Theme Check plugin, you will see all the Warnings and Requirements (must do) plus the Recommended and Info notices, With the Log Deprecated Notices plugin, go to Tools > Deprecated Calls and there could be a list of deprecated tags present in active theme and what tags you can replace them with
== BuddyPress to become more compatible with WP themes in general == @kkradel use the BP Template Pack plugin with your WP theme. If you need assistance post a new topic in this forum.
Just to clarify, previous to upgrading to BuddyPress 1.5.1, what BP version were you on? Or is this a new install? Not quite clear. I suggest you change to bp-default, log out, clear cache and log in again.
To make sure that the theme you’re installing is really updated and compatible with WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.5+, install the Theme Check plugin and run it. If there are warnings or required items, then either drop the theme or contact the theme dev to update the theme or update it yourself.

Not sure which exactly you are referring to. Please clarify.
== I can’t seem to find a clear, simple step-by-step guide for unistalling group forums and installing sitewide forums. ==
There is none at this time. Full integration and migration for bbPress 2.0 is scheduled for BP 1.6
BuddyPress is version 1.5.1 at this time and I see BuddyPress is not activated in your site. You most probably mean bbPress 2.0. Having said that, I do not see bbPress activated in your site as well.
== . I upgraded to 3.2.1 but then had to revert to back to 3.1.3 because of incompatability issues with my theme. ==
I suggest that you find another theme or check with original theme dev if it will be upgraded to current BP 1.5. Contact tech support of your webhost and specifically check if there have been any changes with the mail function
I should have added – to troubleshoot what is causing such behavior in your installation. If it’s custom community theme, then the theme authors should be notified asap. If changing to bp-default does not resolve the issue, then it could be easy-contact plugin that’s causing the issue.
What has changed in your install between the time friendship request was working to the time it’s not working anymore? Did you upgrade BP and/or add/delete plugin, etc?
Please do not post the whole error message as it will be cut short in title. Post the whole message in your post. Deactivate BP Template Pack, it’s not needed when you use the bp-default theme or a child theme of bp-default.
Deativate BuddyPress. Delete the “blog” slug in custom permalinks. Re-run Settings > Permalinks. You have to resolve permalink issues in WP install before activating BuddyPress.
