You need to activate BuddyPress first. Second, select Twenty Eleven theme. Third, install BP Template Pack and go through the BP Compatibility process.

= I installed buddypress 1.5 and a few plugins. ==
Deactivate your few plugins except BP and see which conflicts with comment submit.

Looks like you need to upgrade your BP theme. Change to bp-default theme to double-check.

Deactivate BjuddyPress and other plugins. Check if your registration is working in WordPress first. If not, please find resolution at https://wordpress.org/support/

[@mercime Participant 15 years ago]

Yes. This means that Custom Community Theme needs to be upgraded. And the good news is that the theme devs have submitted their updated version compatible with BP 1.5 to the WordPress Theme repo. Probably will be updated after undergoing theme review by end of next week latest.

== after installation the side bar show up on normal pages i created but when i go to any of the buddypress pages the sidebar shows up below the page ==
@dsg257 you have to complete Step Three of the BP compatibility process https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#fixalignment

Here’s a walkthrough of BP template pack for Twenty Eleven theme using the second method of Step Three which could help you. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Glad you resolved it on your own

== I am contemplating creating a Roots based BP theme in the near future though. ==
@Mike84 Cool. Do consider submitting a free version with the WP theme repo https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/about/

== Is there a list of working 1.5 plugins yet == https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ I’ve been using BP Gallery myself since Feb 2010

Cheers.

== usually is a different error everytime I download bbpress ==
So you’re going for the SiteWide forums and you cannot install the bbPress plugin when prompted? I would deactivate BuddyPress.and then go to Plugins > Add New and install bbPress 2.0. See if you can install bbPress if BuddyPress is deactivated.

If yes, then cool. Go to BuddyPress > Forums and choose the Sitewide Forums.
If you still cannot install bbPress 2.0 plugin, then I suggest going to bbPress forums https://bbpress.org/forums/ and log in with same username and password you used to log in here.

Custom Community theme needs to be updated to be compatible with BP 1.5. The new version of the theme is being reviewed for the WP theme repository at this time but Sven and Konrad same version at https://github.com/Themekraft/Custom-Community

Sitewide forums – using bbPress 2.0

[@mercime Participant 15 years ago]

Sure, there’s bound to be some conflict with two kinds of bbPress forums installed – Group-centric and Sitewide. Could be a bug.
– First thing, are both using the “forums” slug? You’d need to change the slug of either the Group one or the Sitewide one.
– Second, deactivate the sitewide forum by deactivating bbPress 2.0 plugin and change to bp-default theme. See if you can post topic to the correct group forum.

== i got a message to the tune ” you cannot edit this file” ==
At this time, WP prevents theme editor for BP-default child themes. So you should download bp-default theme’s footer.php to your computer and edit it there. After you edit and save footer.php, upload it to your server via FTP/cpanel, etc. wp-content/themes/name-of-your-child-theme-folder/

Instead of choosing the City to set your timezone, use the number difference instead i.e. +3, -4, etc.

[@mercime Participant 15 years ago]

BP 1.5? Have you checked if your theme has been updated to be compatible with BP 1.5? Change to bp-default theme and see if it works.

[@mercime Participant 15 years ago]

Check out official BP test site http://testbp.org/

See if you have any notification plugin or script going on and deactivate and see what happens when you do.

[@mercime Participant 15 years ago]

If you installed WP via webhost script like fantastico and the like, backup DB and server files. Start from scratch and drop DB tables, re-upload WP files and folders manually via FTP/cpanel. Then install WP http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/install.php

== when I go activate my child theme in admin I lose my sites header banner, and all the work associated with my menus is broken..? ==
You don’t need to copy over the functions.php of bp-default at all. Seems to me that this is more of a CSS mixed with missing tags issue. How did you add styles to your child theme?
1) @import parent theme’s default.css and then add your styles in your own stylesheet OR
2) did not @import parent theme’s default.css and created stylesheet from scratch?

[@mercime Participant 15 years ago]

Mike84, typo in your link? It’s going nowhere. So if you were using Roots Framework, you created a child theme of that framework and installed the BP Template Pack plugin. Which stylesheet is it not loading? I would assume that if you have child theme, you’d either import or enqueue the stylesheet of your parent theme.

Contact your tech support of hosting provider.

When you turn on debug, consider installing Theme Check plugin, Debogger plugin and Log Deprecated Notices plugin. Very helpful and used by WP theme reviewers.
