@djpaul @boonebgorges Could you give this a quick look. I tried adding theme root and theme root uri but now it doesnt even load the stylesheet. So I have this in total to try and load my “MobileThemeBeta” for mobile browsers.
`add_filter( ‘template’, ‘my_mobile_template’, 99999, 1);
function my_mobile_template($template){
if(wp_is_mobile())
return ‘MobileThemeBeta’;
return $template;
}
add_filter( ‘theme_root’, ‘theme_root’, 99999, 1 );
function theme_root( $root_path ) {
if (wp_is_mobile())
return ‘MobileThemeBeta’;
return $root_path;
}
add_filter( ‘theme_root_uri’, ‘theme_root_uri’, 99999, 1 );
function theme_root_uri( $root_url ) {
if (wp_is_mobile())
return ‘MobileThemeBeta’;
return $root_url;
}
add_filter( ‘stylesheet’, ‘my_mobile_stylesheet’, 999999, 1);
function my_mobile_stylesheet($stylesheet){
if(wp_is_mobile())
return ‘MobileThemeBeta’;
return $stylesheet;
}`
@boonebgorges @mercime Just did that – and it’s the BP Docs plugin v1.1.24 going in between…
Sorry to say that, Boone 
Almost certainly you have filter in functions.php to remove auto profile links. Unfortunately, the priority number on that filter was changed in a recent BuddyPress release, resulting in a lot broken sites. If you put the correct filter priority in functions.php, I suspect your site will work again. Have a Google at previous threads on here for correct number
Most successful sites have a user interface / experience tailored specifically to their user’s needs; with a compulsive reason to be there. Just putting up a generic platform with groups, activity and members directories, and hoping they’ll join is unlikely to work.
BuddyPress gives you a great platform to underpin your build, but you will need specialist design and development skills to craft that compulsive site with features your users will want and need to use.
[ Edit: for another large membership BP site, take a look at http://enterprisenation.com ]
@rogercoathup How would you change it to make it work?
Buddypress processes a number of urls and loads the templates directly. Do a search on load_template in the BP files
On my Blogs I use to have installed WordPress SEO by yoast plugin.
With Buddypress isn’t efective, it only handles Posts, pages, and few parameters from the forums if these are sitewide from bbpress.
SeoPresss from ThemeKraft is outdated for BP 1.6.1
Any alternative?
Within BP pages any roadmap of what to leave to index and what to block?
For example: Activity pages should produce duplicated content, or is this already prevented ?
Notices fields are texturized. This means that html insertion is difficult and in fact not possible/not recommended. But you can post video links in forum topics or blog posts.
If you wanr to use many video links, give a try to BP-Links witch is better tailored for community usage as “want to say something, x ?”, intended for global messaging, not for content publication.

@shanebp, you’re right: it’s a html issue. This was what i first thinking too, but i searched around for some other solution and found JJJ’s answer. (see link in previous post)
Why using a supplementary JS script when the possibility is given to use a unique ID field buited in BP’s xprofile routine ?
So the only way to do this is through a plugin? I thought it was built in to BuddyPress.
When you say ‘each update’ do you mean of the theme or of BuddyPress?
Im trying to use a theme specifically for mobile devices so I filter the “template” and “stylesheet” but only the stylesheet is filtering for mobile devices. So the only reason I can think of is that buddypress is keeping the filter from applying somehow. I use the wordpress function wp_is_mobile to do it like this.
add_filter( 'template', 'my_mobile_template', 99999, 1);
function my_mobile_template($template){
if(wp_is_mobile())
return 'MobileThemeBeta';
return $template;
}
add_filter( 'stylesheet', 'my_mobile_stylesheet', 999999, 1);
function my_mobile_stylesheet($stylesheet){
if(wp_is_mobile())
return 'MobileThemeBeta';
return $stylesheet;
}
So any idea why only the stylesheet is filtering?
@mercime: thanks! I’ll try this on a non-live site and see what happens. Not sure what I’ll do about it, but might as well try to narrow it down. Thanks again.
Hi…
I have been using BuddyPress for a few months now and after each update my child theme gets deactivated and it defaults back to the twenty eleven theme.
My child theme is a custom theme with many widget areas and sidebars. After I reactivate my theme, I then have to go through an re-add all my widgets… this is very painful. Is there anything that might be causing this?
Thanks
@haraldo88 either a theme issue or a plugin conflict because I don’t recall any issues with this in the days of BP 1.5+. Change to bp-default theme and see if error is corrected. If not, deactivate plugins except BuddyPress then check if you can reply to forum post.
B. CREATE A BLANK sidebar-buddypress.php
Open up the blank sidebar-buddypress.php file and at the very TOP of the file, add this:
`
`
Save file.
C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/snapwire/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are
D. Final note: 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.
@aindreas Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you will be only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to make the BP templates compatible with your theme.
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your snapwire theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your snapwire 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:
`
`
Not sure if the breadcrumbs will work here, but if there’s an error, delete the last line (breadcrumbs) above.
Save file.
== I would like to have both option. Keep sidebar in right side when required or remove it completely ==
@mumbaipav looking over your files, you’d have to make a decision, it’s either
A. Create only two files (which I can post later) and upload to snapwire theme folder in server for either
1. All BP templates with sidebar, or
2. All BP templates no sidebar
OR
B. Revise 16 BP Template files for some BP templates with sidebar and some with no sidebar (full-width)
Btw, should you opt for full-width either way, post code of full-width page in pastebin.com
No you’re at the right place
Answer from @JJJ here (since BP 1.3):
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/custom-profile-field-limit-to-5-numbers/
And BP 1.6 introduces ‘multi_format’ parameter to xprofile_get_field_data(), so that themers can return comma-separated values as an option (source: BP codex)
But no idea at this time (no doc for this in codex) on how to use this in your case. Sorry.
Try to ask @modemlooper ?
I will thanks .. But the funny part is even on the live preview of themeforest the problem exits
http://themeforest.net/item/huddle-wordpress-buddypress-community-theme/full_screen_preview/835549
Anyways thanks a lot guys

This site has 70,000 members. http://tastykitchen.com
Any site that is self hosted needs work and knowledge to run properly. Also, anytime you start customizing a site it can run into problems. I’m not trying to discourage BuddyPress just giving a realistic reply to running a site. You are basically asking if Facebook could run without developers.
@papaitirtha ,
please post questions one by one.
For the question about template, it seems there is something wrong from within it. As you know also, you paid a $60 licence to use the Huddle themeforest theme. This price includes support and you have to ask them first for disfunction and updates, not here.
FYI, the last update of the theme is 21 August 12. Did you use this update ?
Same question to @travcentralen
For the second question about retrieving profile fields automatic links, i don’t know, but please search a bit on this forum. I saw a similar one in the past 3 days….
Hi @mercime , yes the theme is Pulse Press.
Thank you @Hugo, but unfortunately there is no difference. Impact I tried to replace the whole members folder with the default buddypress members folder but still no change. The problem remains.
If I dnt want the link on the name ( Antonie Blake) and other profile fields then which line I have to delete from the php ? will it be solved then?
Antonie Blake
I don´t know whats happening. 
Hey there,
I have always had this problem but it hasn’t really bothered me until this point. Click here for the website.
I am running Buddypress on a sinlgle-blog wordpress installation (I also tried installing multisite but this didn’t help one bit) and on my activity stream, none of the blog posts ever appear. I heard that the privacy setting mess with this, but I have mine open. I have tried with multiple themes and without plugins. Is there something simple I have just missed blindly?
Thanks in advance for any help.
edit: not sure why I’m called Deleted User here?
