@djpaul – ok, yes de-activating the forums component does the trick.
I’d tried removing the page, and selecting ‘uninstall group forums’ from the forums tab, but that wasn’t working. Btw: ‘uninstall group forums’ doesn’t appear to do anything, when you leave then return to the tab, the button has reset itself to say uninstall group forums’ again (or is perhaps just displaying the wrong text).
@mercime – yes, I’d done as you suggest on a previous site, but having to manually add shortcodes isn’t quite the same as getting the default bbPress page.
I guess your new codex entry should be updated on the ‘sitewide only’ section, to say as Paul notes: also deactivate the forums component and delete the forums page.
In general, I guess the Forums Directory page in bp-default should be renamed / better described to make it clear it’s for group forums.
@Paul Gibbs, I saw it vanish while setting Buddypress, the reason why I had the impulse to come here and say “BuddyPress doesn’t show Favicon”.
After find out that it shows without www and don’t with www, I’m more into some server issue or .htaccess misconfiguration.
The BP Like plugin hasn’t been updated in almost 2 years, so I would suggest it’s not in active development nor being maintained.
@rogercoathup After going through the Installation Wizard where a Forums page with the “forums” slug was automatically created https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/bp16-install-03.jpg the first thing I do is to go to Settings > BuddyPress > Pages and select “none” for the Forums page and save. Then I go to Settings > Forums and make sure the archive base is “forums” and that in the BuddyPress section in same panel, made sure that the “Enable Group Forums” option is not checked. Open up the “Forums” page and I just add the bbPress shortcode/s etc
EDIT – djpaul, didn’t see you there when I answered roger’s post 
@shawn38, it wasn’t at theme’s folder but in child theme and site public root.
As recomended at WordPress Codex it goes to the current theme’s folder which is the child theme.
Added also the snippet of code at header.php for older browsers to be able of display it.
Just added to default theme folder and he same result nothing changes.
Thread closed. I know it’s not easy to let the moderators know you’ve found duplicate threads, but feel free to reach out or mention one of our names so we can come in and sort it out.
@raminjan Stop creating duplicate threads. It does not help you to get people to respond to your questions more quickly.
I’ve seen a few issues with Salutation, I’m hoping they talk to us so we can find out if these issues are regressions in BuddyPress, or because something’s wrong in the theme.
I see no possible way that BuddyPress would affect the favicon showing the favicon or not.
Roger, if you want to use Group Forums still, just change the name of the Page that you’ve mapped to the Forums component.
If you don’t want to use Group Forums, disable the Forums component in BuddyPress, and remove the forums Page.

@rogercoathup This is how I set it up “After you have installed site wide forums” Go to: Dashboard/Forums/Add New and name it whatever you want. Then go to Dashboard/Settings/Forums and Under “Archive Slugs” rename the Forum base to something other than forum or forums. Save it add it to your menu and you should be good to go.

If you have access to your servers file manager make sure the favicon.ico is in your themes folder, in you child themes folder, and at the site public root. It doesn’t hurt anything to have a copy of it in all of these directories.

To fix alignment in Step 3 of the BP cmpatibility process. initial scan shows that you would need to revise 16 BP template files which were transferred into your eclipse theme folder during BP compatibility process. If you still want to proceed, let us know here.
@Karmatosed, not group avatar but site favicon.
The funny thing is, if I set a non www domain, favicon shows again. I’m not sure this is a BuddyPress issue.
Just to confirm, do you mean it’s not showing the group avatar?
Hmm yeah thank you @rogercoathup for pointing that out – and as a result illustrating why duplicate threads is bad .. it adds to confusion.
@karmatosed – unfortunately, you are helping on yet another duplicate thread from raminjan
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/how-can-i-move-my-column-area/
@raminjan – stop creating duplicate threads and bump your old ones instead
Hi raminjan, it all depends on your theme really as to what course of action to take. Would it be possible to link to your site to see? You say BuddyPress default but is it customised in any shape?
Failing that usually a sidebar would involve some floating element for instance a pattern could be:
`#newsidebar{
float:right;
width:22%
}`
Just as a check, have you gone to settings > permlinks and reaved? Also can you double check everything by going to BuddyPress and saving your pages to the right pages again.
If that doesn’t work, are you using a cache plugin or something SEO plugin – if so what happens if you clear your cache or (if possible) turn off that plugin? Have you also checked all your plugins are up to date?

Above is the error I received after updating my test server. I too may have to hold off on updating…
@mercime Thanks for the reply, answers are as follows:
* Group Forums
* Custom-built child theme based on Buddypress default theme (as I can’t replicate the problem myself I’ve been unable to test whether the fault persists when I switch themes)
* The only membership plugin I’m using is User Role Editor. I’ve used this to create a new Subscriber role I’ve called ‘Super Subscriber’ which has one extra function. However both ordinary Subscribers and Super Subscribers have reported being able to see these extra icons.
I’ve achieved the same by hooking into “bp_uri” and “bp_get_group_permalink”
@mercime & @karmatosed The Name of my theme is Wallow. here is my site URL : http://chullanz.co.cc/
here the demo page http://chullanz.co.cc/activity/…
Post more info. Are you using an iphone or android, is it the bp-default theme?

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3881
Hi, I disabled all my plugins but the same thing still happens.
BUT, I managed to find more information. This happens only on status updates on Private Group.
So is it possible that it’s something like, the BuddyPress didn’t check for the user’s permission when the ajax comment is posted, so when the comments are posted it is treated as “hidden/private” to the person posting it?
It’s a wild guess, but can someone with private groups & BuddyPress 1.6 help confirm this? I’m wondering if it’s just me or does it affect everyone.
