@sparklyscotty no problem. Please post any issue you may encounter re fixing alignment on that thread.
@playfetch
1. If you don’t like the themes available for BP, then you don’t have to diss them here.
2. “Search at the bottom that is not aligning and I would like to delete it entirely”
– I see “Play fetch …” text and “Switch to Mobile” link, which could have been inserted by a mobile plugin.
3. Something went awry with your fixing alignment of the BP template files, I checked your Members Directory page and code is showing up instead of content.
@miguelcortereal that issue is fixed in BP 1.6 which will be coming out sometime soon.
@mercime, yup it’s pretty strange. Sprung out of no where! I tried your method but issue still unresolved…would you recommend me uninstalling WordPress all together and re-install a lower version to see if it works with BuddyPress?
Hi muffythechef, I’m a firm believer in when you are starting out no question is silly so don’t worry at all. I’m going to give you a few links which hopefully help depending on what stage you are at of the setup:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/ (sounds like you are at this stage)
Hopefully, that will help.
@jishi and custom post types looks like the way to go for your project. BP is not involved at this juncture so at this point I suggest that you post this at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting and do include the information you just posted so all’s clear with the volunteers.
== I am aware that I should copy and rename the former 3 pages in header-buddypress.php etc and match these with the following two theme pages: ==
@blixus Initial scan of the codes posted does support creating only two files to align structure rather than revising 16 files for your theme. What’s the name of your theme? Did you check if it was already “template-packed” per list near the bottom of this page? -> https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
What did you do to resolve it? I’m having the same issue.
@mercime Thanks. That knowledge will help me in the future too.
I only alphabetize the dashboard navbar not the BP nav bar.
@mercime Yes, the theme is on the page you suggested.
Thanks for the additional link, will try that out!
“Tried deactivating BP Template Pack and switched to default BP theme, but still not working. Also created a new group, but still not working. “
Please describe fully how it is not working when you are using the default BP theme.
If you cannot get it working using the default Buddypress theme – it’s not a Genesis issue and the plugin will not help.
@modemlooper, was this ever resolved? I am trying to do something very similar and I am looking for a simple solution. Thanks!
Thanks @mercime I was aware of the widget but I prefer to have the same userbase across the network. I’ve been trying to find the function you’ve mentioned in the BuddyDev forums, but unfortunately no luck…
I haven the same question, and still haven’t found a solution.
@mercime, thanks for the reply, but the cat list is not the issue.
Here’s the beginning of the story: I have a common WP structure with 200+ categories, which are used for regular WP posts. I want to have additional functionality (like custom post type), but without cloning that tree – using the same cat structure.
So URL for a post in WP look like /parentcat/subcat/
And that additional “post type” URL shall be like /page/parentcat/subcat/
I would parse the URL and show the content for that subcat.
But when you try to get non-existent URL (I don’t want to recreate the whole tree, it’s really big), you get 404.
What can I use to make that /page/ template work, not 404 template?
== I’d like to develop a directory, which uses my site category structure, ==
@jishi this is more of a WordPress issue rather than a BP one. Create a Page Template and replace the_content with wp_list_categories or just search for and use one of the list categories plugin to generate what you want in the Page https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/categories
@raminjan install the Firebug add-on for Firefox, right-click on the element you want to change, then add the changes to your stylesheet.
The current styles for the updated message
div#message.updated {
clear: both;
}
div#message.updated p {
background-color: #8FF57A;
border-color: #80CF70;
color: #1A6A00;
}
div#message p {
background-color: #F4F4F4;
border: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
color: #555555;
font-size: 14px;
margin: 20px;
}
So use same selectors and change the property/value as you want it acoordingly in your theme’s stylesheet.
It seems like you’re using a 3rd-party plugin for the group forum editor. Please contact the plugin developer for support.
Here are a couple of editors you could try:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/u-buddypress-forum-editor/
https://github.com/boonebgorges/bp-tinymce
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rich-text-editor-for-comments/
Please note that I haven’t tested any of these.
You’re using an older version of BuddyPress Links. Please either deactivate that plugin or upgrade to the premium version of the plugin.
Then, try upgrading to BuddyPress 1.5.7.
If you’re upgrading from a version of BuddyPress 1.2, read this guide:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/upgrading-to-buddypress-1-5/
The main site is being used primarily as an organization website. There is a blog page, but for the most part, they are just pages filled with information utilizing WordPress so that the client does not need to use code to manage their website.
So what you’re saying is follow the steps that will allow the organization theme to play nicely with Buddypress?
@crispinr not only should you read content, but also the comments where @imath had recommended changes which @sbrajesh incorporated and then released as a plugin at https://github.com/sbrajesh/bp-searchable-activity

@mercime – Thankyou! Good to know that my scenario is not an error, just not current functionality.
My problem now is that I don’t know how to code 
I rely on adding plugins… If I understand correctly, the tutorial is how to create a custom plugin, which may be beyond me.
I know I just have to copy and paste the code into a text file, name it correctly, and copy the file(s) to the correct directory – but I don’t know what to call it, or where to file it – I’ll ask on the tutorial – unless you can tell me 
Thanks once again for your quick reply and help!
== I am using my own custom theme, along with BuddyPress Template Pack plugin. ==
Deactivate BP Template Pack plugin and change to bp-default theme. Is issue resolved? What WP theme were you using?
That’s a strange issue. Deactivate all plugins, change to Twenty Eleven then delete the BuddyPress plugin either via Delete link in Plugins Installed page or via FTP/File Manager. Then download and install BuddyPress plugin again then check if issue is resolved.
@ultimateuser userbase is separate by default but super admin and blog admins can invite users from other blogs and last time I checked it out, there’s a function posted in BuddyDev forums where you can have the same userbase across the network if you want it that way, OR allow the users to choose which subsite/s they want to join by using http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-join-blog-widget-for-wordpress-multisite/
