The good thing using BuddyPress is you OWN the site data and members and can do whatever you want. The bad thing is copying Facebook will most likely fail. Users do not need another Facebook.
If you’re using a custom primary navigation menu, this new plugin will help you with the My Account links – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-profile-menu/
If your CSS is messed up, make sure the ids and classes are consistent with the other menu items.
No idea about notifications.
@david carson
I’m really enjoying the theme.
I’ve done a few modification for the mobile theme to make it fit better.

the css I modified:

I was wondering if you had a way of adding the My acount and notifications tab to the main menu bar? any ideas how to do that. I manage to do it but then the css style is all fucked up.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
== after installation the side bar show up on normal pages i created but when i go to any of the buddypress pages the sidebar shows up below the page ==
@dsg257 you have to complete Step Three of the BP compatibility process https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#fixalignment
Here’s a walkthrough of BP template pack for Twenty Eleven theme using the second method of Step Three which could help you. Let me know if you need further assistance.
Glad you resolved it on your own 
== I am contemplating creating a Roots based BP theme in the near future though. ==
@Mike84 Cool. Do consider submitting a free version with the WP theme repo https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/about/
== Is there a list of working 1.5 plugins yet == https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ I’ve been using BP Gallery myself since Feb 2010
Cheers.
I decided to scrap the roots framework and just use the Frisco theme since its already working with 1.5 and is a pretty nice theme as is. Although its a great framework, its easier to customize a working solution rather than create a working solution out of something I customized. I am contemplating creating a Roots based BP theme in the near future though. Is there a list of working 1.5 plugins yet? It seems every plugin I was using is not working… most importantly bp-media which I though was supposed to work well with 1.5. @mercime I promise not to mention you in every post I make here lol. thanks so much for your help.
Thanks…But I found the solution, I re-downloaded buddypress and bbpress. And createrd a file on my wp-admin called php.ini that gave more memory to my site.
And that fixed the problem.
Travel Junkie..good job.. It solve my prob…me too was getting an error!!
== usually is a different error everytime I download bbpress ==
So you’re going for the SiteWide forums and you cannot install the bbPress plugin when prompted? I would deactivate BuddyPress.and then go to Plugins > Add New and install bbPress 2.0. See if you can install bbPress if BuddyPress is deactivated.
If yes, then cool. Go to BuddyPress > Forums and choose the Sitewide Forums.
If you still cannot install bbPress 2.0 plugin, then I suggest going to bbPress forums https://bbpress.org/forums/ and log in with same username and password you used to log in here.
I’ve been contacting my host all day, been trying different things myself, and all I can say is I’m completely frustrated. An awesome plugin I’m sure, if I can only get it to work 
My memory limit is 99M, with a ceiling of 64M per script (edited php.ini). This should allow plenty of room for buddypress, I should think. I deactivated all my other plugins, added a code to the wp-config file to increase memory as well.
My host was at a loss, so they referred me back to you guys. Error logs don’t show anything of significance.
Any ideas? I would really like to get this plugin working, but feel like I’m at a total brick wall. 
Thanks,
David
Well i found the problem, you must have at least 1 field in the base profile field or the signup will not work at all
bump, still unable to find the problem
I started a style.css from scratch, but I was not sure what to put in the Theme URI so just copied the buddypress default and added my child themes name at the end.
I was not sure what to put in the Author URI so again just copied the buddypress default Author URI
hope this helps
I did not copy functions.php over
2) did not @import parent theme’s default .css
I followed the instructions given here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
== when I go activate my child theme in admin I lose my sites header banner, and all the work associated with my menus is broken..? ==
You don’t need to copy over the functions.php of bp-default at all. Seems to me that this is more of a CSS mixed with missing tags issue. How did you add styles to your child theme?
1) @import parent theme’s default.css and then add your styles in your own stylesheet OR
2) did not @import parent theme’s default.css and created stylesheet from scratch?
I was having similar problems, slow to load and lots of resources. The problems seemed to dissapear when I removed a lot of the profile fields.
why does start a new post take me to the community page?
anyway had to jump in here because I can’t start a fresh post..
like the title of this blog states (After activating child theme tags and categories not working correctingly ?)
I followed the instructions for creating a new bp child theme and put the following in my new style.css file:
/*
Theme Name: BuddyPress (my child themes name)
Theme URI: https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/my child themes name
Description: child theme for BuddyPress.
Version: 1.0
Author: my name
Author URI: https://buddypress.org/
Template: bp-default
Tags: buddypress, two-column, grey, dark
*/
when I go activate my child theme in admin I lose my sites header banner, and all the work associated with my menus is broken..?
I copied all my previously edited files from the bp default theme to my child theme, but did not move or touch anything associated with the bp default functions.php, should I be doing this even though I do not need to make any edits with this file?
Using bp 1.5 with wp 3.2.1 the bp default template
Many thanks in advance
Hi
how do you do this ‘.. do not have to place those pages in the menu they just need to be there.,
its strange because the registration page did not show up in the menu which was great; but the activation always created a visible page in the menu. In order to correct this i made the activation page a parent page to the registration page so it would not be visible.
it works well but the problem is when register and create a site it show that the main admin site is linked to any new site that is created???
@scylderon hi, have ??? solved this quest?
I am looking for a similar solution
maybe my own made custom theme wasn’t compatible in buddypress 1.5, even i used r-a-y and boone’s bp template pack on my own made custom theme already. can anyone help me on how my own custom theme be compatible in buddypress 1.5?… i really need to fix the activity stream :'(
correct, I use both group forums and site wide forums. I have renamed the page assigned to buddypress to “group discussion” the forums for buddypress appears fine. just the one from site-wide doesn’t work. sitename.com/forums/ page only displays a title. I’ve created multiple forums for site-wide forums, individual forum works fine as well. just this forums page doesn’t
