@ffadler – open up your favorite database manager, and search the options tables for anything that looks like ‘bp-db-version’
We’ve changed the option key over the years, so it’s possible something is someplace it’s not supposed to be anymore.
Hi guys,
I’ve a Buddypress site version 1.6.1 based on regular WordPress (latest version). All works fine but the problem is that I can’t create blogs for (registered) users and that’s quite a pity. I’ve heard that blogging only works with WPMu installed. I was wondering whether are:
1. BP-Plugins to create blogs in groups where registered users can blog and that also works on a WP-platform.
2 If this is not the case is there a way to “transfer” my current WordPress-based Buddypress site to a WPMU platform? And how?
3. Or is there a way to “upgrade” my regular WP-platform to a WPMU-platform so I can run my current Buddypress on it without re-installing my Buddypress?
Thanks in advance,
Kookidooki
Hi,
I’m looking for some help with making BP compatible with a theme I created using Artisteer 3.14.
I’ve tried following the instructions to modify the code, but… maybe it’s because I’ve got a cold at the moment and my brain isn’t operating at full capacity… I just can’t figure it out.
While no expert, I’m usually pretty good at just looking at code and figuring out what I need to adjust to get the results I want, but… not this time.
I see from other posts that the way it seems to work is, I post pastebin links to my code here, and the legendary creature known as @mercime (must be a creature of magic it seems, that needs no sleep and can fix everyone’s code problems) waves a wand and highlights the failings of us mere mortal code fiddlers.
Anyway, the instructions say I should look for my page.php or index.php to find the code that should be replicated in the bp pages. My theme has both a page.php and an index.php, so I’ve posted both below. Don’t suppose I need to post the bp code, but in case it changes when the bp compatibility plugin is used, there’s an example of the activity/index.php code, too.
My theme index.php page: http://pastebin.com/r7mBhnG7
My theme page.php page: http://pastebin.com/b7kVsMWy
Comparison BP activity/index.php : http://pastebin.com/b7u8ThP1
Any help would be hugely appreciated, even if it’s just a pointer in the right direction… where I need to change code, and what elements of my theme code I need to put into the BP code.
Sincerest thanks,
Ronnie.

Can you can post a code snippet so others that search can find info on this?
@modemlooper thanks! I used a combination of your tips and info I found here https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/profile-field-visibility-in-bp-1-6/ to make this work for me. I now have any custom field in Buddypress show up in my forums loop and it shows up conditionally as well for the appropriate users only.
For the registration piece, your best bet is to use Gravity Forms and create a custom registration page. BuddyPress does not support multi-page registrations out of the box.
As for the hidden profile field, what is the purpose of the field? Why does it need to be hidden?
Does the validator work when you go to youdomain.com/wp-register.php? If so, then the plugin likely does not support BuddyPress.
Hi, Can you help? In bbpress my favorites link returns page not found. http://www.thsotestsite.dev/members/admin/forums/favorites/ the rest of forum works fine.
bbPress favorites link works fine with BuddyPress not active
The favorites in BuddyPress work fine http://www.thsotestsite.dev/members/admin/activity/favorites/
And Yes running both Group and site wide forums and are playing nice together for the most part:)
WordPress: Current version
BuddyPress: Current version
bbPress: Current version
Theme: Frisco and BuddyPress Default Both have same results
all running on my dev. server (DesktopServer)
Is this a bug or config problem?
can anyone give clue how to fix this?
Thanks
James
@mercime Thanks! The issue was I was trying to deal with two issues at once: trying to modify BuddyPress styles and bbPress styles, I’ve been able to sort out the details and have posted the remaining issues in a Compatibility thread here:

Hi,
Basically I have this plugin called Minecraft Validator installed, is it basically validates the username that the person put down against the minecraft database. The only problem is that for some reason buddypress is not encorperating it into the registration form. Any help?
Thanks
I just installed buddypress together withe the BP coureseware.
Inside the BuddyPress settings and more specific in the group settings i unchecked the “Enable group creation for all users” box.
After that in the courseware i enable the global settings, collaboration settings and the assignment responses private.
Any hep?
Why the teacher cannot create a group?
Hi @mercime
I changed it to the default theme and still the same issue. How would I go about editing the page that controls this? Thanks for your help.
@mercime Thanks, I just checked the link and my template is not listed there… so my assumption is that I will have to modify all the files, correct?
@ouyagamingsource to make your Alyeska theme compatible with BuddyPress, you need to install/activate the BP Template Pack plugin, the go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process as you’ll see https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
You’re in luck, we’ve helped another person some months ago with Step 3 for the Alyeska theme at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/customising-alyeska-theme-for-buddypress/
If you have any issues re Compatiblity Process, please post at that thread.
== I am not sure if i can get away with the creation of the three “-buddypress.php” files or if I need to modify the 16 files and which code I need to copy. ==
@ahmedselim IT all depends on the HTML structure of your WP theme. You just cannot copy the code given for other themes because each has distinct structures and in all probability, not applicable to your theme’s. Have you looked if your theme is listed among the template-packed themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
@elmindo we’re going to have to hard code some of the template structures. Assuming that you’ve already set up your theme, let me know what your choices are in terns of
1. theme version you used: Full Width OR Boxed? Which one?
2. sidebar for ALL BP templates: No sidebar (full width) OR Left Sidebar OR Right Sidebar OR Both Sidebars? Which one?
@stefan83
1. What theme are you using? Did you apply the HTML changes you made to the other BP component changes to your register.php file? Site URL?
2. please do not make any changes in core files “plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration” as those will be overwritten when you upgrade BuddyPress.
@yidamweb #2. Not quite sure what you mean by “straightforward” manner because it already is straightforward to me. Perhaps we’ll see your point if you explain what your expectations are when you upload the image and move the cropping tool to cover the area of the image you wanted to show up as your avatar.
Hello,
I have noticed with the current version of the BuddyPress that the users can not register anymore. There is always a message saying please check your email address. If I deactive the BuddyPress then the problem is gone. Can you fix this please.
Best regards

bbPress Update- Going from these directions: https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ I created a child from my Alyeska theme and copied the Default bbPress Theme to the child theme folder. This helped get the forum page a little closer to my custom theme style, but still not there yet; the sidebars are missing, the forum BG is white, amongst a few other issues, but it’s getting closer. I’m just not sure where the CSS master file for this page is, I tried editing the two files in the CSS folder but it didn’t make any change: http://ouyagamingsource.com/forums/
In regards to locating and editing the BuddyPress CSS files I still haven’t gotten to that part yet: http://ouyagamingsource.com/groups/
@shawn38, you are awesome! I hope they do add it to the core. That would be the best thing since craft beer!
