== Too bad that old theme of BuddyPress isn’t available anymore. ==
Actually, there’s a new child theme of the premium BP framework, BP Mag theme, which has the vertical navbars
Demo: http://bpthemes.buddydev.com/bpmag/classic/members/sbrajesh/

=== Check out the readme file: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rating-widget/ ===

The buddypress tag IS there appearing in list of tags.
Btw, cool plugin

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@stars4321 yeah, BP Nicey is a child theme of bp-default and most probably wouldn’t have cause the registration glitch. Change to bp-default theme, deactivate recaptcha and plugins other than BuddyPress and see if /register/ still goes to home page.

@Ann_Whitt_Wen running BP Template Pack moves the following 13 files within 6 major folders to your active WP theme: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#revise-templates. Looks like member folder files are missing. Double-check via FTP/cPanel that those 13 files are there. If not, go through the BP Template Pack process again. Or, copy over the missing files/folders from BP Template Pack plugin to your active theme while maintaining folder/file structure.

== The links you provided linked me to a codex do_action hook page, which is nothing I want. I don’t need hooks.==

@espeon the information contained in linked documents given by @nahummadrid may be nothing you want but those are what you need in order to modify the adminbar. No reason for sarcasm.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@NrFive That was the layout of the BuddyPress parent theme pre-BP 1.2. It’s do-able but not easy as A-B-C.

== every user created blog to be part of the main site ==
It can be as simple as making your blog a multi-author blog in a single WP install. But even if you go multisite, you can achieve the same look and feel by creating the child theme and just changing main navigation in header.php to get navigation of main site with BP.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@pjnu at least we know that there’s no error if you’re using bp-default theme, so it’s not a BuddyPress issue at all. What theme are you using exactly? Have you read your theme docs whether it requires activation of a membership plugin? I would contact theme author especially if it’s a premium theme for support. Good luck.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

WP/BP versions? Looks like a membership plugin is interfering. Also, there are some themes with built-in membership code which could cause this. Change to bp-default theme and see if that resolves the activation issue.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

You have to “tell” your install to use a default theme for all new blogs. In your case, I’d create a child theme then set it as default. http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/change-the-default-theme-for-sites-without-a-plugin/

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@r-a-y staying tuned for sure

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

This is a WordPress installation issue. You need to resolve your problem at WordPress.org forums before installing BuddyPress.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

My comment was based on the page source of the link you posted above in relation to revising files transferred from BP Template Pack to your active WP theme file
== But none affect this page! If you view source you’ll se it still said the simple `

` ==

When you say: “page source of any buddypress page it still has “container”” — Are the “pages” you mentioned in added on by a BP plugin but not the BP component files per se? A specific URL would be good.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Or by the same dev http://buddydev.com/buddypress/using-activity-as-wire-in-buddypress-1-2-themes/

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

I see you’ve been able to replace `

` with
`

`
in template files.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@MrNiceGuy2 unfortunately the page you linked to in first post now goes to required registration page. Looking back to your first post == How do I edit these pages!? ==

When you go through the BP Template Pack process, 13 files in 6 folders are transferred to your active WP theme and those are the files you need to revise, and not the template files in BP Template Pack itself.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

== my users to upload their mp3’s and images to my site – on my storage.. on my hard disk.. not on those hosting servers==

There’s a plugin BP-Gallery ($30) which can do what you need above with images and audio uploads plus video uploads and video embeds.for single user and/or groups.

There’s also the BuddyPress Media/BP Album+ plugin
stable version – images – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/, https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/
beta version – images, audio, video embeds – in Google code repo

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@djpaul understood. thank you.

@gunju2221 “Example of adding CSS directly to page via code no syntax” – looks good

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Checked in test install and disabling forums in General Settings hides any instance of any link to forums in member or group. What WP/BP versions are you one? If you change to bp-default theme, does same behavior apply?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

php.ini file, but in two places: upload_max_filesize and post_max_size Increase these both . Then if you’re on multisite, Super Admin > Options > Upload file Settings – Maximum upload file size ___ set it there as well.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Change your maximum file upload size to a number higher than WP default of 2MB

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Are you talking of the default internal Forums main directory page or the Global Forums plugin main directory page?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

BP Template Pack has not been updated since Feb. 2010. See following thread for @hotforwords‘ BP Template Pack update https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-template-pack-and-buddypress-1-2-6-things-break-but-i-have-a-solution

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

WP/BP versions? Single or multisite BP? Is this a new install?
Are you using bp-default theme or child theme of bp-default or a custom theme?
Is image upload working for your post and if so, does the image show up in your post?
Disable all plugins except BuddyPress and activate bp-default theme.

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Something’s getting lost in translation. Do you mean that you have three registered members but they are not listed in members page?

[@mercime Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Depends on your webhost actually. Some had to use a plugin to make mail work https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ and I’ve read others use this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/
