What version of BuddyPress are you using?
Mercime-
I edited the two files (header.php ->header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php) and put them in the atahualpa directory where header.php lives. It still looks the same.
@sheilahash
– We’re aware of the issue. Search via Google in the meantime. Thanks for your patience.
– Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and see if issue is corrected. If not, deactivate BuddyPress and check if same issue happens with your regular WP registration.
== I have already running custom permalinks as /%city_name%/%post_id%/. ==
@nookeet Change custom permalink to what’s available on panel other than default and see if issue is resolved.
What WP theme are you using with BP Template Pack plugin?
@jafar1374 Change the styles of div#sidebar and div#content .padder in your RTL stylesheet to
[UPDATED 04-24-2012 From default.css for right sidebar structure]
`div#content {
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 6px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 6px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 6px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;
border-top-left-radius: 6px;
border-top-right-radius: 6px;
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
div#content .padder {
border-right: 1px solid #ddd;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 6px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 6px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 6px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;
border-top-left-radius: 6px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;
margin-right: 225px;
}
div#sidebar {
border-left: 1px solid #ddd;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 3px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 3px;
border-top-right-radius: 3px;
float: left;
margin-left: -226px;
margin-top: 1px;
width: 224px;
}`
== , to check if the changes were rendering, which they are not. ==
@nathanwoulfe Sanity Check. When you say child theme, do you mean child theme of the bp-default theme? If not, if you have a child theme of a regular WP theme, have you installed the BP Template Pack plugin and have gone through Appearance > BP Compatibility process?
WP/BP versions?
== a h3 tag [h3][?php _e( ‘Site Activity’, ‘buddypress’ ); ?][/h3] that isn’t rendering either… ==
– I’ll assume that you used brackets instead of the “ symbols so that they show up in forum post. Know that you don’t have to use brackets, just surround your code with backticks, symbol you see between parentheses `( ` )`
– the Site Activity title doesn’t show up in Activity Directory page when user is logged in
@jende The avatars in the sidebar widgets are constrained down to 40px x 40px via stylesheet. The actual avatar size is 50px x 50px. You could change the avatar size via your bp-default child theme’s style.css file like so:
`#footer-widget-area div.item-avatar img, /* remove this line if you only want to change size in right sidebar */
div#sidebar div.item-avatar img {
height: 50px;
margin: 1px;
width: 50px;
}`
I have a little web site that I started with WordPress, and I’m doing nothing with it. However,I like WordPress after trying Drupal and Joomla and something else. At my day job, I built our company’s intranet in ASP.Net which a windows server was the only option I had to work with. I’ve hacked together a functional intranet, but it is kind of clunky for admins to add news items or business related posts. And since Windows servers has now become rather friendly to PHP, I thought I would set up WordPress to do the blogging/news posting/communication part of the intranet, and keep doing business forms in ASP.Net.
A couple of issues I have that I have not resolved in general terns of how to do it is the company directory and letting users/employees post to certain areas of the site. I built a company directory in ASP.Net and some Administration pages for it. But, I found BuddyPress and thought this might be a way to manage employee/users and their directory information and give employees social capabilities.
My question is does adding BuddyPress to a WordPress site kill off the blogging abilities of WP? Or, How do these two things work together? Also, does anyone know how I could replace my current ASP.Net/MySQL directory with BuddyPress as far as users looking to find a particular person and seeing their profile/info? Is their a directory like plugin?
Thanks
@abovenbelow what white background, where?
I am so frustrated. I CANNOT get the sign up form in buddypress to ask for more than a username and email. You can’t even make your own password! The sign up button goes to what looks like the original wordpress sign in…which I do NOT want! I don’t know where I messed up because it used to work correctly! I have a plugin that removes the wordpress logo, but that’s all it does, so I know that IT isn’t ruining my login. Help! http://www.modelunion.org
@dave953 I suggest that you set up a separate WP/BP test site using different DB on the same server where your current WP is installed. That way, you can test BP, different BP plugins and/or themes first before installing or introducing it to your users in your main site.
@juanmaguerrero,any update on the tutorial.
Thanks
@coxis123 It’s the other way around. You need to make your Thesis theme compatible with BuddyPress. We use the BP Template Pack plugin to make WP themes compatible with BP.
Overview to the compatibility process and the list of WP themes at the bottom of the same page that we’ve made BP-compatible at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
@britt2802
I’m not sure what you mean by backup.
If you mean just the database then the newer version bp files will still be there anyway….
Some other solutions were suggested in https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-activation-email/
Do your settings conform to what is on https://my.hostmonster.com/cgi/help/206
I’ve just run the backup which was not a success. I’m completely puzzled. The backup was run before the upgrade, however it still says I am running Buddypress 1.5.5 and no emails are being sent/received.
Thanks for the replies Aces. I have upgraded from the most previous version of buddypress (1.5.4?). I was fortunate enough to to a backup right before upgrading so I am going to attempt restoring to the older version, so I can give you the exact information later.
When I send a test email from WP-Mail-SMTP I get the “bool (true)” message at the top of the test report, which I have read means that the test went through. However, the email never makes it to my inbox (or spam).
I’m not sure if this is solely a Buddypress issue as I am not receiving emails on new comments either, but this is the only change that has been made since I stopped receiving messages all together. My host provider assures me that it is not an issue with them.
I see, they dont seem to have any contact area
Hello everyone,
I am running wordpress 3.3.1 and buddypress 1.5.3.1
I have some users who hate getting all these public groups updates and I wanted to know if there is a built in way to block public groups from people who are not a member of them on the main activity wall. If not i can think of a couple ways to do so inside of the bp_has_activities loop to block certain posts if user not in group. But i wouldn’t want to do this for everyone unless they wanted too. So do you think the best way would be to create an option in the user settings so they can toggle this on or off? Doesn’t seem to complicated, but some ideas or best case approaches if any one has nay would be appreciated.
Thanks!
This has been fixed in the currently unreleased 1.6.

@coxis123 Their site states “The Thesis Theme framework is a premium template system for WordPress that is designed to serve as the rock-solid foundation beneath any kind of website.”
With “any” emphasized… So, you can assume so. 
But, it’s up to the theme developer to make their themes compatible, so you should ask them.
Hi everyone, I have searched the forum in google and through the tags in buddypress and could not find a solution.
When creating a new topic titled “I am having an issue trying to find a specific Brand…” the next page says “page cannot be found”. After going back to the topics page I can see the topic created but cannot get to the topic as it still shows “page cannot be found” when I click the topic name. I can see that the url has the “…” in the permalink slug, but this did not happen in older versions of buddypress (1.2.9). I could create the same topic title in the older version and it would be ok and trim the “…” out of the url/permalink.
Thank you for any help,
1. Which version of WordPress are you running? 3.2.1
2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install? domain
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? subdirectory
4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version? No
5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. Yes
6. Which version of BP are you running? 1.5
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? No
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones? BP achievements, BP auto group join, BP community stats, BP global unified search, BP groups directory extras, BP member profile stats, BP rate forum posts.
9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? I am using a child theme which is the direct copy of the default theme with some customization.
10. Have you modified the core files in any way? no
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? no
12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in? built-in

I noticed the search doesn’t like apostrophes. Searching for “Dano’s” for instance produces no results even though it’s the name of a member but searching for Danos does find the member. The apostrophe results say “no results for dano’s”. I tried other punctuation for kicks and they all searched fine. When searching members I think an apostrophe is somewhat common.
I also tried editing the profile so that the apostrophe was entered via “shift-option-]”. If I enter my search term the same way, the profile is found. The issue is, no one will ever do this when searching.
I wasn’t sure if this is a bug or something inherent from WP so I hesitated to submit a bug report. Can anyone confirm this or let me know the logistics to resolving this? Is there another work around I haven’t thought of? Thanks in advance.
I also Googled the issue and learned a little on this site: http://www.nobledesktop.com/propertype.html
I also contacted the developer of the plugin BuddyPress Global/Sitewide Unified Search who looked in to the issue for me. I’m using the plugin to combine the BP search with site search.

@mercime
The version of WordPress is 3.3.1 and Buddypress is 1.5.5. I installed wordpress manually via FTP. I have only 1 plugin installed and I deactivated and still the same issue. I installed Buddypress both through FTP and WordPress online. The issue is still there, and can’t figure out why none of files are seen except blog.
