I on the otherhand have the same problem as @mercime; however, I still can’t see my topics. On my ‘Your Activity’ screen…I can see old posts when you username / display name were the same, but none since I changed by Display name. Any advice?
@emily-g I was able to remove the links but im still having an issue wit the buddypress bar being cut off to the right.. I tried to adjust with CSS but no luck.. Could it be the template pack?

If you’ve revised any of the template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your ubuntu theme folder during the compatibility process, then you have to delete those 6 BP folders within wp-content/themes/ubuntu/ and re-run Appearance > BP compatibility again to get fresh new folders.
The following instruction involves creating two files and uploading to your wp-content/themes/ubuntu as well as adding necessary styles then other recommended styles.
1. Open up your theme’s header.php file with text editor and Save As > header-buddypress.php
2. Open up header-buddypress.php and add the following at the very BOTTOM of the file:
`
`
Note: if there are errors on page later, remove the line “ from header-buddypress.php
3. Save and upload to server wp-content/themes/ubuntu/ folder
4. Create a new file sidebar-buddypress.php and in it add:
`
`
5. Save and upload to wp-content/themes/ubuntu/ folder
6. Open up your theme’s style.css and you must add the following at bottom of file:
`/* My BuddyPress styles */
body.activate #content,
body.activity #content,
body.blogs #content,
body.friends #content,
body.forums #content,
body.groups #content,
body.members #content,
body.messages #content,
body.profile #content,
body.register #content,
body.registration #content,
body.xprofile #content {
background: #ffffff;
padding: 20px;
width: 800px;
}`
7. Save and upload to folder
8. Note: other styles you might want to add after the above styles to remove UL list-styles or tweak some element widths, as needed per assistance with other themes are found in this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/
hi mercime is there any plugins that help with this task i also need users to be able to add photos as well ? to some catagories
thank you again for your help guys
Good spot @emily-g, I missed the bp-template-pack reference in source view 
Create a new blank file which must be named sidebar-buddypress.php and save it to the root of your yootheme folder in server.
An easy way to get your users to post to your blog from the front end
http://buddydev.com/buddypress/buddypress-simple-front-end-post-a-plugin-to-allow-front-end-posting-for-the-users/
bp_core_get_user_email() for BP user’s email. As for getting it into CP7, I’d rather use the free plugin above
@stunod85 congratulations. Looks like you’ve fixed it yourself
To eliminate the list styles which appear in groups, members and activity lists, you can add this to your stylesheet:
`ul.item-list li,
ul.item-list.activity-list li {
list-style: none;
}`
@jtny10 – from first glance at your source code, i see
1. your using the bp template pack.
2. the ‘links’ on the right are a sidebar.
You should be able to remove it (on the page linked above) by removing the sidebar template code from /members/single…. ummm… minds gone blank, cant remember if it’s called in a home.php or a index.php file.
When you say ‘alignment’ what do you mean exactly? on my chrome browser it looks aligned nicely (apart from the buddybar cutting off which can be fixed easily via css)
This is something you should ask theme author yoothemes.com as they should give support for their themes which are supposed to be compatible with BuddyPress.
Have you contacted your theme author? Looks like it needs to be updated for WP 3.3 and BP 1.5.2. To double-check whether it is indeed so, deactivate the rt-tachyon-wptheme and all RT plugins like the gantry-buddypress plugin and the rokbok css plugin, etc. Then change to bp-default theme and see if behavior is corrected.
Um…..I don’t understand….the “plugin email?” What “plugin email?”
If you want users to post, you have to assign them WP role = Contributor.
In order for others to approve the publication of the post, then you have to assign them at least WP role = Editor.
WP and BP roles are different. BP roles = Super/Site Admin, Group Admin, Group Mods, and rest are Members (with default WP role = Suscriber)
Go to wp-admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums and deactivate sitewide forums.
Then to Plugins > Installed Plugins, deactivate then delete bbPress plugin.
Also remove the Page generated for sitewide forums, if any, in Pages > All Pages. That would go to trash. Go to trash and delete that page permanently.
If you want to disable commenting only for forum topics and blog posts in activity stream, then you only need to go to wp-admin menu BuddyPress > Settings and click Yes radio button beside “Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?”
If you want to totally disable commenting in activity streams and you have a bp-default child theme, copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/entry.php to your child theme folder following directory structure like mychildthemefolder/activity/entry.php then delete lines 54 through 84 as seen in link above. Save file and upload to server.
If you used the BP Template Pack to make your WP theme compatible with BP, open up /activity/entry.php which had been transferred to your WP theme in server during the compatibility process and delete lines as stated above.
I notice that in BuddyPress settings> “Restrict group creation to Site Admins?” won’t let me choose yes or no.
There are two media plugins that I know or used which could do it
– The beta version of BP Media, a free plugin https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/home/ see server requirements
– Stable version of BP Gallery, a premium plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/
@mrmyth cool. Marking this as resolved then.
Thank you @mercime for replying to this. I have now changed my display name so it is completely different from my login name. I went onto WordPress.org and changed it there as well. I’m still not seeing the Topics Started under forum>topics started.
I tried starting a new topic too, but still nothing.
“For the time being, your display name needs to be different than your login to update your activity stream.” per JJJ at bottom of this page https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/forum-conduct/
Yes, it’s true. I found that whit my test site ( test.webtralia.com ) , there is no problem and the users receive the emails without problem.
When I installed buddypress in http://www.wikienlaces.com , the users don’t receive the emails.
I installed the plugin (mail me) and the problem was solved, but I don’t know what was the problem inside buddypress.
What is the difference with using the domain test.webtralia.coom and the domain wikienlaces ?.
