@sarbanharble looks like you’ve not completed Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process for members, groups, activity and registration/activation pages- https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#step-three

Based on a quick scan of the HTML structure of The Unstandard theme, you can use the 2nd method per link above to fix alignment of the BP template files – i.e., create necessary content/files header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and/or footer-buddypress.php and upload these to your theme folder – instead of the 1st method which involves changing 16 BP template files.

@starprintbrokers before deleting everything. Follow my instructions in my post above to change to bp-default theme etc.

@nsbalgcom Open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all, paste in pastebin.com, click submit, and post the generated URI here.
Do the same for your theme’s (The Global News Theme, right?) index.php, page.php, sidebar.php, and footer.php

Sanity check: When you said you activated the “default theme” in your first post, did you mean the WordPress default theme Twenty Eleven or the bp-default theme? It should be the bp-default theme. And if you’re using Twenty Eleven or any other WordPress theme, you need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process.

Now if you are using the bp-default theme, go to BuddyPress Pages again and double-check that BP components are indeed associated with respective pages https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/bp-installation-wizard-08.gif

@nsbalgcom I see you’ve installed the BP Template Pack plugin. Now you need to fix the alignment within the BP template files to be compatible with your WP theme WPSN – via 1st method of changing 16 BP template files or via 2nd method of creating only the header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and/or footer-buddypress.php.

Initial scan of online source code shows that you need only to implement the 2nd method and adding some styles to fix the alignment of your theme. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#fixalignment

@b1gft If that slider by aesthetic can be added via widget area – check out http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/11/08/sidebars-in-wordpress

The plugin BuddyPress Groupblog at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/ MAY go some of the way in answering your queries.

” The BuddyPress Groupblog plugin extends the group functionality by enabling each group to have a single blog associated with it. Group members are automatically added to the blog and will have blog roles as set by the groupblog admin settings.”

You will need a BP plugin for the image gallery and a BP plugin to insert the banner image/s of choice like this per member.

For the image gallery:
1. Free – BP Album/Media
2. Premium – BP Gallery by BuddyDev.com

For the banner image/s of user – no plugin available at this time. Check out @sbrajesh – Buddydev.com http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-custom-background-for-user-profile/ which you could adapt to upload image/banner to the hook available before member header in template

== every single table in my database says pressfix ==

BuddyPress did not add any pressfix in front of your table names. Check your wp-config.php file to see what prefix you added to your tables. BP creates _bp_ tables in your database. It also adds BP options in wp_options table https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/deleting-buddypress/

I’ve installed – re-installed, manually modified DB’s, a hundred times and never had anything remotely like this happen especially not caused by BP. BP doesn’t cock up in this manner, table prefix sounds like something your theme has done.

As for fix? try renaming your tables back to the wp default ‘wp_’

A little more work is required to remove those empty tags used for clearing though

This question is best suited for the wordpress.org support forums as it doesn’t seem to involve BuddyPress.

Hi,
The code provided above worked, although a little change was required in sidebar coding…

> Widgets, and drag & drop a widget into the corresponding widget panel.', 'swagger' ); ?>

Just for clarity- you do know understand that in the event that bp hasn’t created pages or you get that message that associations are broken it’s a manual process to create those pages before navigating back to BP pages to now find them available in the selection dropdown.

With Saluation – if memory serves – you may need to go into each of those pages created for BP use and ensure that you have selected ‘buddypress’ in the layout options sidebar custom field.

@babray add to the equation that Group Forums will be migrated over to Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin)

@oaklawn “I really need people to be able to post anonymously. … I would like to have people post without a display name “

Where? In posts? In blog post comments? In Group or Sitewide Forums? It can be done, you just need to delete the instances where username is shown in different templates of the different components.

Good question. I think if you delete the registeration/ folder in your theme (or parent theme), it will use WP’s. Let us know.

Also try removing the page mapping for the component in wp-admin – BuddyPress > Components

There are no plugins that does what you need at this time. You can post the job offer at
