Scanning source of the Geotheme demo pages, you’d have to use the first method for Step 3 of BP Compatibility — change HTML structure of 16 BP template files — and not the two *-buddypress.php files like you mentioned above.

If you still want to proceed,
open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all, paste all to pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Do the same for index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php.

== I have associated Discssion Forums with a blank page named Community. ==

Change Forums base to community as well.
Go to wp-admin menu Settings > Forums – Archive Slug – Forums Base ==> from forums –> community

B. COPY your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php

Add the following code at the TOP, above original sidebar code:
`

[ DELETE FROM HERE ]

<?php break;
case ‘pos_4’: // Shortcode Box 1
echo “

“.do_shortcode(stripslashes($mt_bp_scbox1)).”

“;
break;
case ‘pos_5’: // Shortcode Box 2
echo “

“.do_shortcode(stripslashes($mt_bp_scbox2)).”

“;
break;
case ‘pos_6’: // Shortcode Box 3
echo “

“.do_shortcode(stripslashes($mt_bp_scbox3)).”

“;
break;
} // end switch-case

} // end foreach

`

Save file.

C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/metrolo/ 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.

This could be tricky, but let’s give it a try. You will need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your metrolo theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your metrolo 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:
`[ DELETE FROM HERE ]

<?php extract(get_option('mt_set'), EXTR_OVERWRITE);
$msarray = unserialize(get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘meta_settings’, true));
if($msarray==”true”) {
$mt_sortlay02 = $msarray;
$mt_bp_scbox1 = $msarray;
$mt_bp_scbox2 = $msarray;
$mt_bp_scbox3 = $msarray;
}?>
<?php $modules = explode(",", $mt_sortlay02);
foreach ($modules as $module) {
switch ( $module ) {
case ‘pos_0’: // Message
include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/modules/mod_msg.php’);
break;
case ‘pos_1’: // Posted
include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/modules/mod_pstd.php’);
break;
case ‘pos_2’: // Accordian
include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/modules/mod_acc.php’);
break;
case ‘pos_3’: // Page ?>

Not likely at this time. Perhaps sometime BP 1.7+ per JJJ’s post https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/theme-compatibility-4/

https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory – old style and cannot be used for multisite nor BuddyPress

@thirstcard
The do_action() creates a hook. Basically it prints out the contents of the function that is added to that tag (bp_after_message_content) with add_action.

Usage? Let’s say Developer A makes a plugin that will place some text at the bottom of message contents, Instead of the end user having to edit the theme templates to add a call to the function, the developer can use `add_action(‘bp_after_message_content’, ‘plugins_function_that_does_stuff’);` WordPress will remember that function and will print it out where it finds `do_action( ‘bp_after_message_content’ )`

Does that help?

I installed a fresh copy of WordPress Multisite and added the BuddyPress plugin and Network Activated.

On the primary site I configured BuddyPress and then clicked the “Install Group Forums” button. I still received the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” error.
