@ubernaut the code provided by sbrajesh is only for Super Admin (multisite) or Site Admin (single WP) not for members who create a subsite. You’d need change is_site_admin to is_super_admin even when you use it in single WP install. is_site_admin had been deprecated some time after I posted sbrajesh’s code

I don’t recall trac ticket for this enhancement. Up to you to make a request in trac 🙂

@amrvignesh based on the response and resolved status of this topic, the instructions worked out well for the OP for the theme version as of Nov. 16, 2012. If the theme has been updated/revised since then, that could be the reason why it’s not working for you. Site URI?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

so for now there is no fix solution for this except delete all including wordpress, recreate all database, and it work again.

@qzplx Glad it’s working out for you now. Thanks for sharing your solution.

Its a new installation and my firts group.

@rondena For new installations BP 1.6.4/WP 3.5.1, please follow the instructions posted at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ Make sure that Discussion Groups is disabled at Settings > BuddyPress > Components panel.

@discdemo Open a text file, paste the code I posted above, File > Save As > functions.php file which should be in your BP Default child theme folder in server.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

Gentlemen, I’m going to close this topic. Thank you all for your feedback. There are alternative hosting solutions for WP/BP installations.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@hemantsaraf What theme were you using? What plugins were activated at the time you deleted BP 1.6.4? Could be an old plugin which requires BP.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

“I just wasn’t logged into Firefox or Chrome. ”
Yup 🙂

You’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

add a simple text widget above the bp-default theme’s login fields

@discdemo if you haven’t yet, you should create a child theme of the BP Default theme. Create a functions.php file for your child theme and in that functions.php file add the following http://pastebin.com/VVByv1p0 and make sure there’s no space atop or beside the opening Widgets and you’ll find the Before Login Widget Area

@ebraxton30 Deactivate BP Template Pack plugin. Salutation theme, as I remember it, has BuddyPress template files already in theme’s folder.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@talkgridadmin initial scan of your theme reveals that you would have to revise 17 template files from the 6 BuddyPress folders transferred to your sportsedge theme folder in server during the BP compatibility process.

You could opt to wait for BuddyPress 1.7 which will automagically transfer required BP template files and you’d just need to delete the 6 BP template folders from your theme folder and deactivate the BP Template Pack plugin — unless the theme has added its own templating system

To check which is the recommended course, open up your theme’s page.php file, copy all and paste into pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@daved42 I would double-check if there are any overlooked old URI’s in DB, double-check .htaccess file if carried over from old site, re-run Settings > Permalinks.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@nahin This happens when you have a multisite installation and you activate BuddyPress in subsite’s admin and not network-wide in Network Admin > Plugins. Is this the case with your installation?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@unsalkorkmaz per your request, changed links and info in your original post. Congratulations on passing the WP theme review process 🙂

How to download:
http://theme.firmasite.com
The theme has been approved by the WP Theme Review Team and will soon be available for download at the WordPress Theme Repository.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@zaghareet deactivate Discussion Forums in Settings > BuddyPress Components panel. Follow the instructions at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

Note: Deactivate BuddyPress and create a network as posted above. Make sure that your multisite/network is working before activating BuddyPress.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@sudeepacharya Yes. https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@sandeepandugula or just post at pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated uri here

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@sandeepandugula go to visual mode before wrapping code in code tag. Thanks.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@golfer300 this forum is for BuddyPress-powered sites. Please point to BP site, otherwise your post will be marked as spam. Thank you.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

Darwin theme has not been updated for 2 years. Second, the child theme theme does not have the required widget areas in footer.php.

You can copy over buddypress/bp-themes/footer.php to replace Darwin’s footer.php file but you just might have to style the footer widget areas.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@qzplx did you go through the Installation Wizard? https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@andy0007, @hnla has got it right. You have BP template folders in your theme. Delete the 6 BP folders and see what happens (crossing fingers) 🙂

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 7 months ago]

@demetrius-pop ah the permissions problem. For the multisite installation, activating BuddyPress network-wide resolved that for me.

Deactivate BP – from main site or subsite dashboard. Then go to Network Admin > Plugins and activate BuddyPress there. This will activate BP in main site by default. If you want BP in secondary site (subsite), add the following to your wp-config.php file before activating BuddyPress network-wide:
define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 3 );
change 3 to the blog ID where you want BP installed.
