BP 1.5 is a major release. closing 998 tickets of bug and enhancement reports. Theme/plugin devs are currently updating themes and plugins. In the meantime, you can also use a WP theme and install the BP Template Pack plugin to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress

@kkradel bp.css is enqueued after your style.css and bp.css has this in stylesheet
`#wp-admin-bar .padder {
width: 95% !important; /* Line up the admin bar with the content body in this theme */
}`

The easiest thing to do is to
1 – download a copy of bp.css https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/bp-template-pack/tags/1.2/bp.css
2 – correct the width of #wp-admin-bar .padder to 100%
3 – upload to server in plugins/bp-template-pack to override old bp.css

So if you’re on BP 1.5 and installed BP Template Pack 1.2, then you only need to update 11 files now. So if you require assistance on that end, open up your WP theme’s page.php and paste in pastebin.com, submit, and paste the generated URL here.

As for the second method, after creating those three new files, you need to make revisions in those files then upload to your active WP theme folder in server.

As for the bbPress template files, they look good in many themes but might need adjustment for some. I say one step at a time. Let’s get your theme BP-compatible.

What theme are you using? Which widgets – native WP or BP members/groups – are not sticking to sidebar/footer widget area?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

I had a problem upgrading in test install with 4 dozen WP/BP/MU plugins being checked out. It turns out that not all the BuddyPress files were uploaded in auto upgrade from dashboard. Most probably plugin conflict. Suggest re-upload BuddyPress manually via FTP/cpanel – it worked for me.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

Did you also upgrade your BuddyPress Template Pack plugin to version 1.2?

BP version? Change to bp-default theme.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

What theme are you using? It probably needs to be upgraded to BP 1.5

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

@cupid4 sure.

#navigation {
text-align: center;
}
#nav {
left: auto;
margin: 40px 20px  0 20px;
right: auto;
}

bojankibebe – we have no such ID’s in bp-default so can’t say what’s going on with your styles

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

Create a bp-default Child theme. In your child theme’s style.css file, add these:

#navigation {
text-align: left;
}
#nav {
left: auto;
margin: 40px 0 0 20px;
}

EDIT – took too long to answer

BP Wire is ala “wall” http://buddydev.com/buddypress/here-is-the-bp-wire-for-putting-the-buddypress-wire-back-to-buddypress-1-2/

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

You can do it the WP way by publishing a post/page by setting “Visibility” to “Password Protected”. Just give the link and password to that one specified user.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

You’re welcome

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 1 month ago]

To clarify:
1. What BP version did you install? Big difference between BP 1.2.10 and BP 1.5 rc1

2. Re: when it comes to the forums i can’t set it up!
BP 1.5beta with internal bbPress forums http://testbp.org/forums
BP 1.5beta with bbPress the Plugin installed http://testbp.org/discussion/

3. Re: I tried signing up to bbpress and couldn’t get a confirmation email.
Log in bbPress.org with same username and password you used to log in at WP.org/BP.org
