B. COPY your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php

Add the following code at the TOP, above original sidebar code:
``

Add the following code at the BOTTOM, below all other code:
``

Save file.

C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/mystique/ 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.

@hedak You will only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your mystique theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your mystique 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:

<div id="mask-3" class="clear-block">
<div id="mask-2">
<div id="mask-1">
<div id="primary-content">
<div id=&quot;post-" >
<div class="clear-block">

Save file.

I have the same problem. All the main pages (groups, activity, forums, etc..) work fine, It’s just the “Buddybar” links under “My Account” like Profile, and such. This is a fresh install of WordPress and Buddypress with no plugins and using the default buddypress theme.

As far as I know rewite_modules are turned on – if they weren’t wouldn’t pretty permalinks not work at all? Although I’m still thinking it’s something with my host as buddypress works fine running on localhost with xampp..

Any idea what could be going on?

Could this maybe be buggering it up….? this WP/BP install is on my domain’s root, but I do have some subdomains running other wordpress installs (no buddypress).

Thanks for any advice.

subnav example, add to your plugins/bp-custom.php

//generate the 'Bongo' subnav tab to Messages
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'add_subnav_tab', 100 );

== Whenever any member are putting some posts on my blog, its not updating in my posts database. ==
BuddyPress doesn’t cause that kind of behavior. It might be caused by old WP/BP plugin.
To check: Go to basic WP installation, i.e., Deactivate all plugins then change to Twenty Eleven theme and check if issue is resolved. If so, activate BuddyPress only and Frisco theme and start posting. Do not activate plugins which are not explicitly updated to current WP/BP versions.

@dannyjimmy go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Settings and click on Yes for “Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?”

@idowu My apologies that was a little misleading as I could have sworn there was a button on the members account screen for ‘Sites’ what I was thinking of is the buddybar where you have a set of links, under ‘blogs’ there is a ‘create’ link in addition to the large button on the main BP blogs dir page. I would spend a little while having a good rummage around all the links and screens in BP so you’re familiar with what is where.

@pearl91 I assume latest BP./WP versions. Linux or Windows hosting? Have you changed your Settings > Permalinks from default to other listed?

You need to add the `div.padder` style I posted above if you want your BP pages to look like the rest of the site. You haven’t added the styles from Twenty Ten which brings in the widths of `div.item-list-tabs` and `div#subnav.item-list-tabs`

Use Firefox and install Firebug add-on and you’ll be able to ID the areas you need to change.

@idowu go to Blogs Directory page, beside the title “Blogs Directory” is a “Create a Blog” button. Click on it.

@jageshmk change to bp-default theme. If it doesn’t work, then start a new topic of your own. Add info about WP/BP version, Linux or Windows hosting. Theme/plugins used, etc.

You’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.

Did you read https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
If you did, at what point did sitewide forum installation fail?

@sushit
Check out JanRain’s plug in. It works great and you get other social network as well.

There are two on the Featured Plugin page. Take a look – https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/. Hope that helps.

Hi
I have installed Buddypress in my wordpress site.
But create an account or sign up showing Register by /register url and its not showing create an account form for buddy press.
Its showing only register and nothing else.
Please give me a solution to fix this issue
Thanks
Jageshmk

== My theme is the arras theme. ==

@allthingsbetting You could copy over some of the style mods to twenty ten theme to the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet then adjust to taste – esp `div.item-list-tabs` and `div#subnav.item-list-tabs` where you have to bring in the negative margins which expand the width of those navigation items.

Add also the following to your style.css
`div.padder {
background: #fff none;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 0 10px 15px 0;
padding: 0 15px;
}`

Plus some unsolicited advice – you have URL’s with members-3/ and groups-2/ which is not cool. Back up DB.
Delete the current Pages “Members” and “Groups”. Go to trash and delete all “Members” and “Groups” Pages > Permanently. Go create new Members and Groups pages. You’ll see clean members/ and groups/ url’s

Apache rewrite_module may be off. If you’re running WAMP 2.2 you can go to Apache >> Apache modules, scroll down and make sure that ‘rewrite_modules’ is checked. Here’s another way, too…

== Now the group forums will not uninstall. ==
@angrywookie There’s a final task for the group forums uninstall -> delete the bb-config.php file generated when group forums were installed. You’d find bb-config.php at the root of your WP install, the same directory where you have your wp-config.php file https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/4/#forums-faqs
