Paste just some of the fatal errors? Probably just repetition. Or share them onto a site such as pastebin.com

Wasn’t aware of any slow loads, but I’ll ping Automattic and ask them to check. Thanks.

Not aware of any plugins or code samples around to do this. You’ll probably need to find a developer to figure it out for you.

You reply suggest you haven’t read through the guides I mentioned above?! If not please do so as they have been written to help users.

You have to match those files to your themes primary html markup as that is where things differ, your theme will have certain major layout elements e.g id=”container” the BP files must match to your themes markup, generally you would use index.php or page.php as your themes example to follow

The list of themes already put through the process by mercim are listed here:

@elbowrobo What help do you want from the community? When you say you are at a complete loss what is the issue you are having, it would help to know what you have tried and what the issues are that you have hit.

The template pack is only meant as a helping hand, starting point – it does require that you do some manual file editing of a basic nature and for that you do need rudimentary HTML skills and ability to understand how read code and copy paste it around. Without those skills you might struggle and perhaps need to be getting a developer to help you or choosing a theme that has already been template packed.

Have you actually followed the guides written by mercime in the BP Codex? these are extremely helpful walkthrough guides to working through the steps involved including the manual step 3; or look at the general list of themes that mercime has added and maybe choose one of those instead?

Creat a new page. Name it whatever and publish. Go to buddypress ->pages and select just created page as search’s functioning page. But I am not sure search require a seperate page. Remember to subset the page to an already published page as a sub page

I am just nobody here. But this is how I did it.

Before installing buddypress i created a page named “group forums” and when installing buddypress forums, assigned it as its sole page. Later seperately installed bbpress. No harm at all

Doug — the notification will be because I explicitly @mention ‘d you in the reply.

Yes, the behaviour of these forums is not a good advert for BuddyPress — although some of that is down to the coding of this site, rather than a BuddyPress specific problem.

Recently, a plugin version of bbPress was released, which significantly improved support for forums on a BuddyPress based site. That gives proper notifications, and the sort of features you’d expect from regular forums. Unfortunately, the alternative ‘group based forums’ as used on this site, really don’t deliver a good experience.

If you want to customise the twentyten theme, you are best to post on the WordPress.org forums for support. This forum is for BuddyPress-specific questions.
