Thats all the code that was contained on that page? Not sure what is missing?
@mercime i can’t even begin to say thank you. i have spent days trying to figure this out. seeing it actually work is incredible. thanks for all your help and hardwork! 
@cleaus missing codes -> lines 16-21 and 23-28 in your latest pastebin.com link for content-page.php
@tomelk31 ok, I see that you’ve added the styles now and I see that the additions have fixed the layout for all BP pages.
@burntheedges https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ Per codex article above If you only want sitewide forums, then you should “Disable (uncheck) Discussion Forums in the Settings > BuddyPress > Components panel” etc
@tgnwsauctions not your fault except that you shouldn’t install a BP plugin which has not been updated for over two years.
@sgr33n, do you mean `format(‘F, d’); ?>`
please can you explain as i have no code knowledge.
thanks
== why buddypress doesn’t use user_metadata and have a proprietary xprofile table. ==
I believe one reason would be that WP doesn’t have an API for BuddyPress’ more sophisticated profile fields/groups, or something of that nature. At least that’s what I recall a core dev answering the last time that question was asked
@rgblog,
This is the extent of my understanding: groups/index.php is the file you’re asking for. In it, the groups-loop.php template is referenced. It’s that template that generates those “join” and “leave” buttons; specifically, the following action “bp_directory_groups_actions”. If I’ve mislead, someone jump in and correct me.
ok, I have revised the code above to right sidebar only. Delete old header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php and add code posted above.
Note that in the revised instruction, you do not create a blank sidebar-buddypress.php file but copy the sidebar.php file and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php then follow instructions above.
OK, I’ve just tested BP 1.6.1 on WP 3.4.2 (BP Default theme) in my dev site.
Yes, the same issue is still persistent!
Also, I found an interesting post and I wonder if AJAX change is related with this issue…
AJAX changes in BuddyPress 1.6
@tgnwsauctions looks like you’ve fixed it already on your own
yea ive noticed, the majority of plugins ive found have been abandoned and no longer work with the updates, and tbh even the ones from the buddypress team have been too, the bp albums plugin hasnt been updated in ages

Hey @mercime I’m getting an error regarding the buddy header, it reads
“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in your code”
I posted the pastebin of the code:

Cool so a more deep integration into the wordpress core… Speaking of This, i’m just wondering why buddypress doesn’t use user_metadata and have a proprietary xprofile table.
Just to add @mercime I am a real novice to WordPress and BuddyPress so sorry if i dont completely understand!!
Thanks for the reply,
I am using a theme called “Salutation”
I have not created a child theme (Should I do this??) and I did not need to add the template pack as its already set up for BuddyPress.
Should I still copy this file over ??
Cheers
James
@fitnessblogger if you have child theme of bp-default theme or are using the BP template pack plugin and moved BP template folders/files, then copy over this file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/blogs/create.php following the directory structure and make the change.
Hey Roger! Thank you for responding. So, the email link comes from Buddypress and it is supposed to link back to the conversation. For example, this is one http://shenow.org/activity/p/2332/
But, when it is clicked on, it takes you to: http://shenow.org/featured-women/member-directory/members-2/k8e0/activity/2332
So, somewhere behind the scenes it is getting redirected.
The theme is the clear line theme, and it has been working for over a year…..this seems to be a new issue that arose after I was trying to make new pages. I can’t figure out what happened… or how to put it back……or how to change the redirection.
I’d love your input …. Thank you!
@mercime Hey sorry it keeps takign me so long to get back to you. Here is the link to the content-page.php: http://pastebin.com/LJuZbWBG
Sorry to bring up an old tread @sbrajesh, is there a way to show birth day and month instead of age e.g Birthday: January, 2
thanks
@modemlooper,
Thanks for the feedback. Given that restriction, the outcome makes sense. I assume the “hardcoding” decision was made some time ago and there are valid reasons for taking that approach. Do you know if it is still valid today? Is the evolution of a “group” within a community not of value? Its name, and all that’s tagged to it: its admins, its mods, its members, its events, etc over time?
An example would be Steve Jobs. Let’s say that, in my community, he had created a group called Apple Computer Inc (way back in the day). Then, to reflect, the evolution of the company and its commensurate change in name, he wants to change the name of his group to Apple Inc. BuddyPress allows the change in name but the slug still reflects the old company vision. The ancestry/lineage should be handled automatically. I’ll add it to my wish list.
There really isn’t a similar issue with “member” since the slug is the username.
Thanks again, for responding.
Hi, first up what theme are you using? Are you using the default BuddyPress theme or some other one?
