– Excuse me but why don’t you consider what @vfx_fun has replied ?
Use PoEdit to customize your error messages.. (It’s tricky, but useful..)
– Alternatively, you can change that error message directly.. Use “find and replace” software to help you find which line that need to be changed.. (Some freeware like ‘WinGrep’ for Windows perhaps..)

I believe there are some wordpress plugins with feature like this…
Some plugins like “PrintFriendly” perhaps ?
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/printfriendly/
Just choose a plugin that most compatible with buddypress..
Figured it out – BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG must be set to true to get the option to run the Buddypress Installation Wizard for each site.
@Hugo do you all have a round about launch date for BP 1.7? In the meantime I will revisit the steps you suggested to see what happens. @mercime Please see below

Hi @mercime
Aside from the final tweak mentioned above… given the effort to make it all work so far… should I avoid adding further plugins such as listed in the plugins directory on here, or… should they all integrate without any problems now we’ve fixed the theme compatibility issues?
I’m thinking about things such as a login box, removing the WordPress bar from the top of the pages for anyone other than site administrators, adding one of the event management plugins, etc.
Basically… I don’t want to have to keep asking you for help ever time I try to add something new. 
Many Thanks,
Ronnie.
This is really a question for the theme in question, this forum is really meant to be for help with BP and it’s default theme.
But I see that you have already asked this exact same question :
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/frisco-theme-sidebar-of-width-300
So I suggest that you wait for a reply from that post firstly, cross posting the same question on multiple forums is considered a bad practise, if the theme author cannot help after a reasonable period then ask the question here or on other tech forums that might be able to help.
@jacques24 open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all code, paste to pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s page.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files. TMA’s demo in woothemes.com is not working, so if you have a URI of a site with TMA activated, that would be good for my reference.
What have you attempted when you say it “doesn’t merge well”?
Have you started the template pack process as outlined in the BP codex guides, if not that’s where you must start.
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
if the theme is too awkward to integrate with BP then choosing a more compatible theme is wise and there are many that have been run through the template pack process and listed in the codex for you to choose from, alternatively Woo do produce a theme or themes? that are BP compatible you might want to consider one of those?
http://www.woothemes.com/2011/11/canvas-buddypress-gets-a-revamp/
If you can wait for BP 1.7 to be delivered then that will ease the process as it is theme compatible in that it will run with any well coded theme on activation.
Lastly I’m sure @mercime will help if you’re really stuck as mercime has with other themes but please bear in mind that this is a relatively complex process and time consuming.
Hi, mercime:
Thanks for your reply.
– I installed Events Manager to my local testing site and then BP. First, the theme (not WP default theme) and Events Manager conflicts with JavaScript, then I solved this issue for turning off the theme JavaScript. But, after installed BP, the same conflict issue comes again – like I mentioned on my first post above. And, I also have the same issue with the other one (got “post” link, but when you typed something and click the “post”, it kept telling you error, and not doing anything).
– I installed BP theme pack, but the issues are still there.
– The “join group” link issued was happened HERE – BuddyPress.org, I tried to join “Events Manager” group, but it won’t work. This issue is nothing to do on my site, just wondering why it did not allow me to join the group, so I can post questions under that group as well.
– My WP version is 3.4.2, BP version is 1.6.1, Events Manager 5.2.8, Single site, local machine runs Windows.
So, what should I do now, or if you still need more details? Please let me know, I really appreciate your help. Thank you.
Hi @mercime
So close now…
Take a look at: http://www.liveanddangerous.co.uk/wptest/members/testy/profile/
I’d like the background colour for the navigation menus and the profile fields to be either black, or better still, transparent.
Is this possible? I’ve looked over the style sheet etc, but can’t find the function for this. If I view the source code for the page above, I can see the instruction for the background to be ‘rgb(254, 254, 254)’, but… can’t find that instruction anywhere in the css.
If I can fix that, then… I believe… we’re done.
Thanks,
Ronnie.
Found this in BP trac. See if solution works in your installation https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4523
@mercime I am on a single install. it’s on hostgator running linux. I have tried switching to other themes and replacing BP and issue prevails. I’ve never had this issue with other 1.6.1 installs so I am wondering if something in my db is screwed up?
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21711125/Screen%20Shot%202012-11-04%20at%208.23.34%20PM.png
@archer09 first, keep BuddyPress activated and change to Twenty Eleven theme. Then click on the Installation Wizard again and go through the process. When you reach the point for theme choice, choose BP Default theme first as you can always activate Sahifa theme later. After you finish with the wizard, keep on BP Default theme and test your BP installation. When you’re satisfied that everything’s working well, then change to Sahifa theme.
== In my profile page (http://www.luchotv.com/miembros/Luciano/profile/) it says “Base Name” with just my name as information, it looks like a group even though groups were disabled. ==
No, this is not part of a Group/Group Forums at all. /Luciano/profile/edit/group/1/ refers to the first group of Profile Fields. As you can create more profile fields based on your community, you can also create more than one group of Profile Fields to organize profile information – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#users-profile-fields
– Note that all the fields you add in the first group of Profile Fields will also show up in the Registration Form if you have that enabled. Those in the 2nd group or so will only show up in e.g. /Luciano/profile/edit/group/2/ and /Luciano/profile/edit/group/3/ if you have more than one or two groups of Profile Fields.
@buddhatunes the “blogs” page with regards to BP is the Blogs Directory page which only shows up if you have gone multisite (created a network). Unless you’re referring to something else entirely ….
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`
`
with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`
`
with the following for registration/register.php:
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
Save files.
C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/esplanade/
D. Copy the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste to your theme’s stylesheet. Adjust to taste.
@infodebroekriemnl Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your esplanade theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your esplanade theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
with the following:
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
` or `
` to
`
`
where applicable, then move this to above `
Save files.
The ‘blogs’ page does not show in menus or pages because it is a buddypress page. I looked at the link and it is unclear to me what you are referencing. The window opens on line 21 but I am not certain what you are pointing at.
Thanks a lot, problem solved. Now I have another one and I think is related to the previous issue.
In my profile page (http://www.luchotv.com/miembros/Luciano/profile/) it says “Base Name” with just my name as information, it looks like a group even though groups were disabled.
Then, if I choose to edit my profile then I fall into this other page http://www.luchotv.com/miembros/Luciano/profile/edit/group/1/ which looks like my profile (with all my info) but the URL belongs to a group.
Any idea on how can I fix this?
Thanks a lot for your time. Regards,
Luciano
If it’s just the link at the menu item, you can just edit the page name and slug in page edit panel, then go to Settings> Pages and choose the new blog menu name from select box and click on Save. You know you’d also have to change title of the Blogs Directory page in yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/yourthemename/blogs/index.php in this line
@ronnie_fantastic Looking good.
1. Missing BuddyPress styles: Go to Appearance > BP Compatibility. and uncheck “Disable BP Template Pack CSS”
– you need the BP template pack CSS to properly align the BuddyPress sections.
2. Enable registration: Go to Settings > General and look for the line where you allow registration (it’s off by default)
3. “It has what looks like a 2 cell table with ‘Base’ written above it and the name/username within”
– This is the Profile page and it shows profile fields. BP Codex is your friend https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/
== I have “user groups” turned off in buddypress and “enable group forums” turned off too in bbpress. ==
@lucianoippolito
1. You need to turn off “Discussion Groups” in Settings > BuddyPress > Components if you only want Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin) https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/#c-set-up-sitewide-forums-only
2. For good measure, delete “foro grupos” page in Pages > All Pages and delete it permanently
3. Delete bb-config.php file generated at root of your installation
Hi @mercime I’m using the Sahifa theme as well. Followed the instructions above precisely but still seem to be having problems getting BP up and running. Specifically:
1. When going through BP installation wizard, the 4th step “Theme” never loads. It just shows a completely blank space below the Components/Pages/Permalinks, etc. tabs. This doesn’t seem right…
2. While in the Theme tab, if I ignore that there’s just blank space and click “save & next” to complete the installation wizard, I still get the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” message when trying to click on BP Settings under Plugins.
How can I fix this to get BP running properly?
For background, I’m running on WP 3.3.1 and BP 1.6.1
Thanks.
@wpinklady you have numerous issues in your installation. Answered you at link posted above. Please continue discussion there.
