No signature plugin for BuddyPress Group Forums, but there is one for bbPress Sitewide Forums https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbp-signature/
@mercime I follow your answers with great interest, I have the suffusion theme with the suffusion bp pack and then added BP, now my site looks great, however the BP specific pages such as activity etc, look totally different. see at http://www.godstruths.com Please help me I am exhausted 
tried so many things, have got no help yet from aquaoid of suffusionyet. It looks to me these pages pull the style from itself and not the main theme. How can I correct this? (I had not activated bp templates under advice from suffusion) Much appreciated. Karl
@hugo thanx.for?….. been there done that long ago, still waiting.
the issue is see here are bp related, because in fact it affects the bp specific pages drawing their own style in place of the suffusion style, I had installed the suffision bp pack and even tried rebuilding bp press files option.
Maybe theres a guru out there who has the answers, I have searched everwhere I could look, come across many with similar issues… but thanks anyway hugo.
hi @djpaul
Can you help me out with this?
I installed Achievements 2.3 plugin on my site and would like to know how to have a right sidebar at my Achievements Directory page? Currently the page is full-width.
I’d like to place the Achievements Leaderboard, Unlocked, Locked, n score on the right sidebar. What code should I place at my childtheme?
Please help.
Thank you.
@evolvedesign, please start a new topic next time. There’s a plugin for those using the bp-default or child theme thereof https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-profile-menu/
B. COPY your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php
Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and add the following at the TOP of the file, above other code:
``
At the very BOTTOM of the same file, below other code add this:
`
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 file.
C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/quik-gallery/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are
D. Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.
** index.php code in pastebin.com is not your theme’s index.php file but that of BP Activity Stream’s index.php. I recommend that you re-upload your theme’s files again to server to make sure that all required theme files are online.
Moving on to the template compatibility process, you will be creating two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php per instructions below.
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your quik-gallery theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your quik-gallery theme folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /members, /groups, /register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.
A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php
Open up header-buddypress.php and at the BOTTOM of the file, below other code contained within, add this:
`
I’m not sure what I’m looking for in those files. So it seems when replying and commenting in wordpress post seems fine, but when I try to add comments or reply in the activity stream of buddypress I get the 404 page.

hi, thanks a lot for your reply.
I can’t seem to get that to work. When you say to replace ‘reply_text’ with the id of the editor, is the ID just the name of this editor? Is there somewhere I can look to find out the specific ID because I am suspecting maybe the ID is something different then the name?
Is this method you told me above basically to tell the forums which editor to use, or the whole site?
Thanks!
Edit: Also, I save the topic.php in my child theme folder at “/themes/bp-child/groups/single/forum/topic.php” correct?
I recall a previous poster with similar issue mentioning it was a plugin conflict … didn’t post which plugin it was. So deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and activate one by one to check which is the offending plugin.
Blog Categories for Groups plugin is compatible with current BP version. I’m sure Brajesh will update it for BP 1.6 when that rolls out.
Delete the new page you created since it’s not going to work that way. The code will create a link in the navigation menu for logged in users only and clicking on the link will direct the user to his/her respective profile page.
== I’m not sure where to add the code in the functions.php. ==
At the bottom of the functions.php file :
}
?>
Add code in between:
}
// Filter wp_nav_menu() to add profile link
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_profile_link' );
function my_nav_menu_profile_link($menu) {
if (!is_user_logged_in())
return $menu;
else
$profilelink = '
' . __('My Profile', 'buddypress' ) . '
';
$menu = $menu . $profilelink;
return $menu;
}
?>
1. Backup database. 2. Uninstall Group Forums via dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums
3. Delete bb-config.php file from server — found in root of your WP installation i.e., where you find your wp-config.php file.
Note that come BP 1.6, Group Forums will be migrated over to bbPress Sitewide Forums.
Thank you, @mercime so very much. Everything is working well, and I have learned something new!. Your kindness and generosity with your time and knowledge is gratefully appreciated.
== add two categories in my BuddyPress forum ==
Can’t do this in default Forums for Groups.
You can do this in bbPress sitewide forums –> https://bbpress.org/forums
Forums for Groups will be migrated to bbPress sitewide forums come BP 1.6
This looks promising, but it doesn’t seem to work with BuddyPress 1.6-bleeding. If I click on the link “Blog” in my group, a white blank page appears. 
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Or use any responsive WP theme and install+activate the BP Template Pack plugin, then go through BP compatibility process. There’s a list of “template-packed” WP themes https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes for reference on how to go about it.
Telegraph uses Disqus across all our sites; we have so many comments we have a team of people working full-time to moderate them. And, yes, Telegraph pays money for Disqus.
Upload a BLANK file which should be named sidebar-buddypress.php to your active theme folder in the same level you’d find index.php, page.php, etc.That will effectively make all your BP template files full-width.
@aarc If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your musiclife theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your musiclife theme folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /members, /groups, /register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your in-depth reply. I will probably circumvent the default WordPress comment system and fully use Disqus. I sent an email to the Disqus team, however I’ve got a feeling that I’ll need to purchase their professional add-on package to get their full support on the implementation. From the information outlined in the OP article, I’d say that this was the route that the Telegraph.co.uk took as well in order to get your three way system up and running?
I’ll see what I can come with
James
Thanks once again Hugo, you always have the solution!
I was doing the sort of digging you describe yesterday in fact and was able to find out how to add a “Follow” button which may interest users of Andy’s plugin BuddyPress Followers:
bp_follow_add_follow_button( bp_displayed_user_id() );
Hi there!
I currently work for the Telegraph, so have first-hand knowledge. If you want to use Disqus, you need to get user authentication going between WordPress and Disqus. At the Telegraph, we have our own in-house authentication system, too, so we’ve got a three way connection between our system, WordPress, Disqus. It’s as tricky as it sounds, and it’s not perfect.
We also have to use the Disqus Single Sign On feature, which you have to pay money for.
Disqus do have a WordPress plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/disqus-comment-system but as I understand, it syncs between WordPress comments and Disqus comments (it never looks like you’re using Disqus).
I would suggest either using Disqus comments fully or WordPress comments fully. Not a mixture. Requiring people to sign in to Disqus via FB or TW I don’t think will realistically be a problem, as a lot of users have those social media accounts already. If you absolutely must have the Disqus / WordPress user authentication going, I’d suggest you get in contact with Disqus support at http://disqus.com/support/ and see what their thoughts are.
If you learn something, do share
