Deactivating plugins and changing to default theme is basic troubleshooting procedure for both WP and BP and usually helps spot the offending culprit as you activate plugins/theme one by one. Did you also deactivate mu-plugins and/or bp-custom.php?

Threaded comments == working in BP 1.3 trunk

Author replies be highlighted == add .byauthorpost or combination of former with other selector/s in stylesheet and style

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

It might just be that your theme needs to be updated. Check theme’s forums for solutions/updates.

@lockamiz23 have you tried the troubleshooting basics like changing theme to bp-default and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress, keep on the bp-default theme and clear cache and cookies. How’s the BP Admin Bar now?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

You’ll need to upgrade your theme @gossyomega1

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Change to bp-default theme and deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress. You might also want to check out and post at theme’s support forums http://themekraft.com/support/

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

Troubleshooting at this time. The more information you can give about your WP installation, the better – server. PHP version, etc. If you have any other plugins aside from BuddyPress activated, deactivate them and change to bp-default theme. If you still see the error, download a fresh copy of BP and re-upload to server via FTP/cpanel.

For issues with the bbPress plugin, please post at https://bbpress.org/forums/

EDIT- took too long to answer, didn’t see you there DJPaul.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

bp-default theme is updated along with the plugin. Nested comments will be available in BP 1.3

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

If you auto-upgraded from backend, download a fresh copy of BuddyPress and upload manually to your plugins folder.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

What’s not clear is what you have done so far and if you have indeed created a child theme of bp-default. Help us help you.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

I assumed you wanted to use the bp-default theme. But it’s bad practice to make the changes there because those will be overwritten when you upgrade BP. So it’s prudent to create a child theme of bp-default theme – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Note: Unless a developer takes over this plugin, it won’t be updated for BP 1.3

Note: Haven’t tried it myself but looks good.

If you’ve created a child theme of bp-default, you could disable the custom header function by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php
`define( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’, true );`

From that point on, you could search for a plugin which does what you need

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cimy-header-image-rotator/
or something like the above

Using bp-default theme, if you allowed registration in your single WP or multisite, then the registration page will show up when visitors click on “Register” link.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

@spreadinglove since your forums are generated via bbPress plugin, I suggest asking this question at https://bbpress.org/forums/

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Did you check registration if you deactivate Typepad spam blocker as well as all other plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Could be that it’s the Event Manager plugin which is not working with BuddyPress. Does the event manager plugin you’re using work on the bp-default theme?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

You have to more specific like WP/BP versions? Which theme are you using? If you deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme, does the same behavior show up or is it fixed?

@hawkd215 Since BP Social is a premium theme, you should be able to get free support from theme author who knows all the nuances of the theme — which is not available to those of us who didn’t purchase the theme.
