Okay, that added some stuff that wasn’t there before like the buddypress side bar under my content and the buddypress footer, but it still doesn’t have an effect when I change the template to one with no sidebars, I just seem to have two now
@squaredindex
Have you reviewed:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/
If your parent theme has a page.php or index.php in the root directory then copy one of those files over to your child themes root directory and rename it to buddypress.php
I setup a child theme using the roots starter theme as a base, but I’m having trouble getting the buddypress themes to work. I tried using the “onecolumn-page” template on one of my pages, but it didn’t have any effect, it should have removed the sidebar. Any idea what I could have done wrong?
I’ve been using this as a reference, but I don’t know what I’ve done wrong exactly- http://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

I have the same problem. However, my hide_sitewide values are “1” for private forum entries, but are being completely ignored with the sitewide activity is shown.
I, too, upgraded from legacy groups to sitewide forums.
I am running bbPress 2.4 with buddypress 1.8.1
I have run the forum tools script to repair hidden forums, but this hasn’t made a difference.
I’m really worried about this security breach and – despite seeing a number of posts in here pointing this out – the development team seem unable to recreate it at their end. Nevertheless, it seems it is affecting people like us and we need to lock it down ASAP.
Thanks.
I’ve been having the same problem. It’s a huge security breach and I’d love to get to the bottom of it. I’m using buddypress 1.8.1 and bbpress 2.4.
It’s actually really scary, since my private forums are having sensitive conversations that they believe to be private when, in fact, they are being broadcast in their entirety to everyone. This is horrendous.
i think it should be in buddypress core… not as a plugin.
yes if you are making a child them then you can copy and past or after that you can edit files. if you are making a theme or it is not a child theme so there should’t be any sidebar till then you don’t add the code
Do you mean I literally just copy and paste those files into my theme folder?
Not a child theme, just a normal wordpress theme that uses buddypress. I don’t know if I have to do a child theme for it to work.
hi squared index you don’t mention what type of theme you are creating. if you are creating a child theme so you have to copy all files with the folder which have sidebar from defaul bp-them like activity folder with the index file or other folders and main index file after that simply remove the line
<?php get_sidebar( ‘buddypress’ ); ?>
usually this file locate in the last of index files.

i have chage the position of side bar in my theme
Good luck
Hello guys.
I’m today having another issue on one of my BuddyPress developments: I need to add links on my Field Descriptions at Profile Fields for them to open on a new tab. This is a way for people to read some information before keep going with the registration form.
I can create the links, but unfortunately BuddyPress removes the target=”_blank” (as well as manipulates other HTML information) on the field after we save it.
Do you guys know where BuddyPress handles this so I can change it or a way to achieve a target_blank on Field Description?
Thanks a lot!

If you had checked the link @carlh1 had provided you would see when you click on community that the issue is unresolved. An experienced developer may be able to help but if the theme is over-bloated and doesn’t follow standard WordPress template structures then I am afraid you are in for a hefty price-tag even if you hire one. If you have not already checked it out review:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-compatibility-1-7/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/
See if that helps. Based on your previous topics when you mentioned Non Disclosure Agreements your probably going to have a rough time finding anyone that would be willing to sign that. After all BP, Themes, and all plugins that require WordPress to work fall under GNU/GPL because they are derivative works that uses WordPress’s hooks, actions, filters etc. in order to work with WordPress it has to be. Realistically I doubt your site will be any more groundbreaking than anyone else who has created a WP/BP powered community site so it is right silly to require a NDA! I have seen some very amazing sites created with WP & BP but most of them come from top notch experienced web developers and web designers. Please don’t take this as discouraging or negative just set a realistic goal. Either way good luck!
@alanniemies I would report this issue with the premium theme developer or check the premium theme’s forums. Surely you’re not the only one who has experienced this issue with BuddyPress activated.
@davidollerton Where are you hosted? Does your hosting have GD library installed and/or imagemagick? Can you upload media in a regular WP Post or Page and choose the small/media thumbnail?
What plugins do you have installed? Have you checked whether deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and changing to Twenty Twelve or Bp Default theme resolve the issue?
@craftersuniversity At this moment, I see that you’re using a Twenty Eleven as parent theme and not Twenty Twelve.
Twenty Eleven has a one-column layout for its default page.php. Check out this tutorial for getting a sidebar into the BP pages: http://bpsocialnetwork.wordpress.com/2013/06/02/twenty-eleven-theme-compatibility/
BP is fully compatible with WP default themes it’s what we’ll test against amongst others.
If you’re running in theme compatibility mode then BP uses page.php initially to render it’s screens, although you can overide that by creating new versions of that file, so you should see whatever sidebar page.php is showing.
If you are doing anything contrary to basic theme compatibility you’ll need to detail that.
There are a couple of guides on theme compatibility in the Codex which will help you understand your options.
@estopero Could you post a link to your site so we can see exactly what’s going on?
Hello,
I can’t find anything about a map to show the database schema for buddypress… in Google the only links that come up are broken. I’m trying to fix a website which has gone wrong during an upgrade and I’m totally confused by the buddypress tables. I’ve looked in the documentation pages but can’t see anything and I’ve been looking for half an hour – sorry if I am missing something really obvious.
If someone has a working link for a map that would be great. The broken link I found is at http://buddypress.org/support/topic/database-schema-map/
Thanks

Have upadated to latest buddypress, same issue, “There was a problem cropping your avatar”. Cant seem to edit my posts here, sorry for the multiple posts. Thanks
Hi,
If you add a field to the registration profile which is a drop-down list and you would like the first item to be ‘Please select an option’ *and* you mark the field as required, users do not have to do anything.
They are not forced to ‘select an option’.
This is because when generating the HTML <option> code, a value is placed there. If, instead, the value was set to “”, then this feature code work.
Look through the code, there is already the notion of ‘is default’. I have a patch which adds the notion of ‘is placeholder’.
Is this wanted in the core?
Thanks,
Anand
