Wouldn’t cost you that much although depends on the beautification that your required, however seeing as mercime will fix things for free, please consider a small donation to a worthwhile charity

== I received a note that said “It looks like you already said that.” ==
I’ve seen this happen when you post large blocks of code with at certain times. What I do is to post code at pastebin.com and post the generated URI here along with my text and it’s all good.

@neodjandre Open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all, paste in pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Then do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files.

== i then tried to install the global forums ==
Please clarify, are you referring to the Sitewide Forums aka bbPress plugin 2.+ or are you referring to the Global Forums plugin by BuddyDev.com? In either case to gain back access to your wp-admin, rename the bbpress or global-forums folders via FTP/FileManage/cpanel to something like wp-content/plugins/bbpress-xxx or wp-content/plugins/global-forums-xxx

Set which blog ID BuddyPress will run on if not on main site – add following to your bp-custom.php file:
`define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id );`
where you replace $blog_id with the blog ID number of subdomain/subdirectory site of your multisite installation – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

As for themes – you can use a WordPress theme then install the BP Template Pack plugin and go through the BP Compatiblity process. Check if your WP theme has been “template-packed” in the list near bottom of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Do you have Sitewide and Group Forums installed or just Sitewide Forums only?

Duplicate post, Please only post once!

ou still have those duplicate ID’s they are not really acceptable in fact they may well cause issues as ID’s must be unique to a page – it’s not a flexible rule.

Look at those two pages ‘group directory index’ and ‘single group display’ you are missing a fundamental class that gets added to the body tag ‘.right_sidebar’ without that class present your sidebar does not have the required ruleset applied.

You will need to work out how your theme ‘framework’? applies that class for a given view and ensure it’s applied in respect of your groups single view pages (and any others )

== looking to see if other people are online. ==
check out https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php#L162

@djwinner Yes, you should hit up the theme author. You paid for a theme that’s supposed to be compatible with BP 1.5.5 per documentation, you deserve a theme which have all parts working.

@neodjandre at first glance, it looks like the layout you have for the groups directory page you linked to above is the default layout you get right after BP compatibility … except that the member’s profile page has the sidebar below the content. The only hitch with that layout is that you have duplicate div#content in the HTML (one from your theme and the other from the BP template file) but that’s livable. Or did you already tweak the layout of the group directory page?

I recommend against disabling account activation, but I believe you can do so like this. Put this in your bp-custom.php:

You will need something like BP Group Management for easier management.

If you want to limit group creation to admin, go to BuddyPress > Setting in your dashboard and check “Restrict group creation to Site Admins?”. You may also try BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation & add some rules so members can’t create a group until they reach the requirements

If you have a child theme of bp-default theme, the simple way would be to copy over:

a) https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/create.php
to wp-content/themes/YourChildThemeFolder/groups/create.php
– above line 90 per linked file add “
– below line 106 per linked file add “

b) https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/admin.php
to wp-content/themes/YourChildThemeFolder/groups/single/admin.php
– above line 69 per linked file add “
– below line 87 per linked file add “

Note that if you as Site/Super Admin don’t even want to create a hidden or private group yourself, then delete lines 90-106 from create.php and delete lines 69-87 from admin.php

There was a report here about a security plugin interfering with forum replies. If you don’t have one, deactivate plugins except BuddyPress and see if issue is resolved. Then activate plugins one by one to see which one is messing up with commenting.

1. Have you tried BuddyPress Group Forums & bbPress (or known as Sitewide forums). Both of them integrate well with BuddyPress and will show up in the activity stream when someone start a topic or post a reply.
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

2. I think most of the BuddyPress compatible theme should fits your need. You just need to configure it so it looks like a normal blogs in the front while still maintain the social media functions.

@raoulbeltra either within a plugin file or your themes functions.php
You can read more at https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin

From what i understand you are trying to do, then yes, just replace `echo do_shortcode(‘SexyButton’);` to whatever you want to show.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/

@edgarestradac you would add that to your theme’s stylesheet aka style.css file.

@energynet thank you for bringing this to our attention and for sharing the solution. Cheers

rename wp-content/themes/custom-community to wp-content/themes/custom-community-xxx via FTP/cpanel and if that doesn’t work, rename wp-content/plugins/buddypress to wp-content/plugins/buddypress-xxx
