Hi. I am having a similar problem with my right sidebar alignment except that it’s being caused by the Buddypress plugin Group CSS which I’d very much like to use. I am using the Custom Community Pro theme. If anyone can help please respond or email and I can start a new thread on this subject (if I do I will come back and link to it here!) Thanks!
@candy2012 go to https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/ or the forum home page for whatever group you are trying to post in. Click new, head to the bootom of the page and post!
@mercime worked like a charm. They should include you in the next avengers cast! Thanks a bunch.
Hi Mercime and other php gurus 
I figure this is only a small tweak of the code, but I’m unable to fix it as I’m a NooB to wordpress and .php in particular. Do you have any idea about how to fix this issue?
Sorry to be pushy, I am just really anxious to lauch this buddypress feature to the site I’m building to my son and his like minded friends
Regards and thx in advance.

I can only speak for the bp-default theme:
– default blog pages == index.php https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/index.php
BP Corporate might just have a home.php page which trumps the index.php page per template hierarchy
– search results page == search.php https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/search.php
== Page errors on everything I tried to do in terms of interacting with the members page- next page results, sorting, searching, etc. ==
Windows or Linux? Single WP or WP Multisite? Where is your WP/BP installed? Domain root or subdirectory or subdomain? if the two latter ones – make sure the subdir and subdom are not named the same as a BP component. e.g. groups.example.com and example.com/groups are no-no’s
== ie have you guys had any luck with getting sitewide forums working yet? ==
We’ve got both forums working together ever since BP 1.5 https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
== I’m just trying to find out out to attach categories or tags to BuddyPress posts. ==
The same way you attach categories or tags to WordPress Blog Posts in the backend
WP/BP versions? Theme used? Did you deactivate plugins other than BuddyPress to see which one is making this happen in your installation?
B. Create a BLANK sidebar-buddypress.php
Open up the sidebar-buddypress.php file and 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. Create a BLANK footer-buddypress.php file. That’s it. Keep this file blank.
D. Upload header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and footer-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/yserif/ at the same directory where your regular header.php and page.php files are in.
E. 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.
Note: There are many sidebars in the theme, but no need to paste them here.
@candy2012 peace be with you too
@niwaroll Per initial scan, you only need to create three new files, header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and footer-buddypress.php
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your yserif theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your yserif 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="f9-container" class="”>
Thanks @ChrisClayton I actually like this better. Thanks for the help I’ll give it a try. I never really liked the wp-login page much anyway.
But I’m running BP v 1.5.4.
Speaking of which, I changed my theme to ‘BuddyPress Default 1.5.4’ (to match my BP version) and the problem was still there. Page errors on everything I tried to do in terms of interacting with the members page- next page results, sorting, searching, etc.
I’m a little reluctant to upgrade to 1.5.5- the upgrade to 1.5.4 changed enough things to set me back a week or 2 with features I had to account for, and how it affected plugins that were already working. Speaking of which, any updates on the bbpress integration beyond group forums? (ie have you guys had any luck with getting sitewide forums working yet?)
If necessary, I’ll do the upgrade, but hoping you understand my reservations.
Just might be of some help, though please note I am not a coder .
On a local site I have an image (2px by 162px) full width across a Buddypress Default Child theme.
I have a menu in the top 37px as I have disabled the bp admin bar.
the code i came up with is as follows.
`body {
background-color: #eaeaea;
background-image: url(images/headpixf.png );
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: top center;
color: #555;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif;
line-height: 170%;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: auto;
width: 100%;
}
#header {
background: transparent;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 10px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 10px;
-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
-khtml-border-radius-bottomleft: 10px;
-khtml-border-radius-bottomright: 10px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
color: #fff;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0px 5px transparent;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0px 5px transparent;
height: 37px;
padding-top: 25px;
position: relative;
z-index: 1000;
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto 90px;
}`
Good luck!
I am pretty sure deleting this default field will cause all sorts of subtle bugs and errors throughout BuddyPress. You’ve been warned.
Hi, @landwire, thanks for you comments, I’ll update the snippet within this week. I don’t want to go off topic a lot but you could accomplish that task by AJAX: http://tomsbigbox.com/wordpress-load-more-posts-on-page-scroll/ Hope it helps! Regards
Thank u for your fast response,
i am new to BuddyPress, BuddyPress plugin activated in my site.
how can i enable activity component? and
how can i load buddypress by the time i use those functions?
i just want to do something like share option in Facebook. shared content like images, videos must display in current user activity list exactly like Facebook.
can u help me for this?
thanks n advance
“probably need to pass to it bp_displayed_user_id()”
@hnla is correct, you will need to use bp_displayed_user_id()
as in:
`$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();`
Edit History, in all probability will not work with current bbPress plugin and bbpress quotes look good for current bbPress, no guarantees though. The best place to ask about this is at bbPress forums – log in using same username and password used here.
@mariilou if registration still doesn’t work if BuddyPress and other BP plugins are deactivated, have you tried deactivate other WP plugins to see if either of those conflict with your activation email. If email doesn’t work even with all plugins deactivated, then it’s a hosting issue with WP installation. Have you contacted webhost for tech support regarding your email issues?
Buddypress is simply? a plugin that runs on wordpress, aspects such as registration and users are managed by wordpress rather than BP.
@pasen — Ooh good idea; i didn’t think of that — it would require allowing a bunch of moderators! but it would work
@hugo @mercime Oops! Sorry, never saw any of these replies, and didn’t know/think to add the trac link. Will in the future. Thanks!
@mercime thanks
@dannyjimmy helps if we can close thread with a link so we know what state thread has reached.
Yes, that does it. now registration works, I would not have looked there for it and was not aware wordpress and buddypress are so interwoven. Thanks for your quick answer Mercime.
