You most probably did not post that you were using WP theme with BP Template Pack. Otherwise the moderator would instruct you to change information in the forums/index.php file transferred to your active WP theme during the BP template pack compatibility process.

Replace top part with this
`

`

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Download the BP template files transferred to your active WP theme folder in server down to your computer hard drive.

We start with /activtiy/index.php – open with text editor. At the top of the file, replace
`

`

with
<?php
global $shortname;
get_header();
?>

then at the bottom of the activity/index.php file replace
`

`

with
`

Confirming fix of group creation bug when I upgraded to BP 1.3 trunk-4874

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

@katje we’d like to help you but we don’t have free access to the theme. You should be able to get free support at WPMU.org or where you bought the theme.

Not exactly what you wanted, but close

Limit Groups Per User Plugin For BuddyPress

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Could be a theme issue. Change to bp-default theme and see if same behavior occurs.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Have you checked whether it is a plugin or theme conflict by deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and changing to bp-default theme?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

In dashboard menu Plugins > Installed plugins > BuddyPress .. there should be a prompt to upgrade to latest version. If you’re not seeing it, you can download BP from

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

At this stage, you would need to upgrade Multisite to Multinetwork via plugin. Then via another plugin in beta, have truly separate instances of BuddyPress in each Network of the multinetwork installation, Better read this http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/

closing this one. mercime

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Just to clarify, do you already have an external bbPress installation? Your external bbPress installation must use the same database as your BuddyPress installation otherwise this integration won’t work.

If you do not have an external bbPress installation using same databse, then you should use the BP Forum Setup and create/install a new bbPress forum.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

@donmcint go to dashboard menu Appearance > Header > Change image and background color there.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Rename plugins folder in server, then rename active WP theme so system will automatically change theme to twentyeleven theme.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

@lunaix you should post at plugin dev’s site with details about your install – might be some conflict with another plugin or theme or something else, Tested the plugin on BP 1.3-bleeding and later in BP 1.2.9/WP 3.2.1 and it’s working great.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

@careercreatrix Before there was WP Multisite, there was WPMU(multi-user) a long story https://wordpress.org/news/2010/06/thelonious/

== 1) Do i have to “create a group” in order for people to be able to join my discussion forum? I just want one plain old discussion board, with multiple topics. ==

Yes, at this time you would have to create a group and be a member of that group in order to post forum topics. If you only want the forums without the social networking feature, bbPress the plugin is in beta3 https://bbpress.org/blog/

== 2) It says you have to have registration enabled, so people can register. How do I make sure it’s enabled? ==

Go to dashboard Settings menu > General > Membership – check “Anyone Can Register”

== there isn’t a “Create a Group” tab when I click on “Groups” in the top bar, ==

You will find the “Create a Group” link if you go to your site’s /groups/ directory, it was never included in BP Admin Bar. So if your WP is installed in domain root i.e. http://yoursite.com/, you go to http://yoursite.com/groups. Beside the page title, Groups Directory, you’ll find the link to create a group in the bp-default theme. Or, you can go directly to the URL
http://yoursite.com/groups/create/step/group-details/ – replace yoursite.com with your domain name.

Are you still on WP V.3.1.4 and Buddypress V1.2.8 or have you upgraded? Change to bp-default theme and see if same behavior applies.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Thank you @karmatosed. You also played a major part in the theme review as well as Chip, Otto, Cais, etc. By the time the theme got to me, undergoing so many revisions, it was sanitized and in ship-shape form. That’s what I call team effort, really

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

@djsix, first time I’ve heard about IE saving the day for BP user, cool Are you running WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.2.9? WP 3.2.1 fixes JS problem in WP 3.2.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Change to bp-default theme. I believe @modemlooper will be updating bp-columns theme come BP 1.3
