>> Should I look to another theme from buddypress???
It’s not the theme, it’s your installation. Site URI and testuser username and password?
Unless there was a major HTML structure change in the free Platform theme by Pagelines in the last 4 months, you only need to make a few style tweaks to get your BP template files aligned with Platform theme pages after installing and activating the BP template pack plugin per my post here – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-pushes-sidebar-down/
To change the Members label throughout the site, you need to create/use a language translation file https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/
>> , It shows a Blank Page for Register, Activity, Group… etc. How can i fix this?
To make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress, you need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin, then go through BP Compatibility process https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
Also, go to dashboard BuddyPress > Pages and make sure that BP components are associated with “Pages” in that panel.

Hi all,
I’ve run into a problem while testing my website. When I reply to a message of another user the reply is always sent twice. When a new message is sent, it seems like a copy is sent to the sender as well. As can be seen in the following screenshot, the sender is listed in the message thread twice:
http://s16.postimage.org/fz3oeuz1x/bp_bug_1.jpg
However, when the user sends the message to himself there is no additional copy send to the sender. And still, when trying to reply to that, the error message shows up twice as can be seen here:
http://s17.postimage.org/lynr7iscf/bp_bug_2.jpg
EDIT: Ok, I’ve found and applied Fix 5641 now: http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5641. Now the recepients list looks good but any reply to a message thread is still sent twice.
I’m using wordpress 3.3.1 and Buddypress 1.5.4., both clean install. I’ve tested it on IE and Chrome, results are the same. Anybody have an idea what could be the cause and/or how it could be fixed?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I created a static home page. Now I want to have a separate page that displays only my posts. How do I do that, since I am a member of buddypress? I tried going to WordPress settings and entering a static page for home and a blog page for posts, but comes up with incorrect layout everytime – emulating home page.
@hnla Thanks! Yeah I just wanted to see the function so I could use hooks to rewrite it in my functions.php
I installed a new instance of WordPress 3.3.1 at bookclub.skycor.net and then installed the buddypress plugin. Prior to installing the buddypress plugin, I was able to access all the admin menus in wp-admin. I was able to create new users, add posts, images, etc. After completing the installation of the buddypress plugin and activating it, I completed the process of configuring buddypress. At the end of that process, access to anything in wp-admin disappeared. There was no error message of any kind displayed on the screen. The screen was just white. I was able to go back to the main site at bookclub.skycor.net and navigate just fine with the exception of anything in the “dashboard” dropdown menu. Accessing anything in that menu caused the screen to go blank without any error messages.
My host is ixwebhosting.com
Is this something that other users have experienced?
My efforts to troubleshoot were to remove the buddypress directory under plugins to see if access to the wp-admin would return. It did not. I then dropped all the tables and reinstalled wordpress. I confirmed that wordpress was working properly and then reinstalled and configured the buddypress plugin. I experienced the same results I previously described.
Totally deleted the basic theme. Even went old school and uploaded the download from buddypress.com via my ftp. Nothing. Cannot create groups. I’m doing it from the front end. I see no way to do it from the back end. I really need help. I want this up by the 19th. Should I look to another theme from buddypress???
Make sure your www or public_html folder has 777 chmod settings.
In your wp dashboard rollover Settings -> Permalinks.
Either re-save, or add %postname% in the box and hit save.
That should do it 
Install wordpress on your server.
Once done, hit the Plugins -> Add a Plugin tab and type in buddypress.
Download and install and you’re good to go 
I’m currently using the Fresco to learn my way around BuddyPress but I can see that I’ll likely need to dive in and do some modifications to get things to look the way I need them to. I’ve had some experience working with PageLines Framework theme (the free version) for regular WordPress sites and it’s been good to me, so was wondering if anyone has been using them for a BP site?
PageLines has a mention of how to get it to work for BP:
http://www.pagelines.com/wiki/How_to_Use_the_BuddyPress_for_PageLines_Plugin
If anyone out there is using it, I’d *love* to see a link to what you’ve done with it.

Oh, wrong forum. Please move thread to How-To and Troubleshooting 
I am using Buddypress for a photography website.
I installed the plugin, and the pages created seems Not to work at all, It shows a Blank Page for Register, Activity, Group… etc. How can i fix this? The page seems to be in .html and Not ending a in Page_name/ is this causing the issue? I tried to uninstalled and install back, but not able to get it back to work….
Please advise help..

buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-buddybar.php
But try and avoid editing a core file directly.
have you tried deleting the buddypress plugin and reinstalling it?
can any one help me plz?
suggest me a plugin to share content like images,videos within the site?
Thanks in Advance
My site shows any BuddyPress related page (except for Achievements) as a blank page- no source code, no 404, no nothing.
I have deactivated everything, BP related and otherwise. I have deactivated and reinstalled BP.
I have deleted and added anew several of the disappearing pages, still just a white screen.
That white screen where my Members, Activity, and Forums pages used to be is evil.
It’s mocking me.
Ideas, anybody?
Thanks in advance, I could really use the help.
aces,
Thank you ever so much!
I replaced ‘leftsidebarphp’ with ‘sidebar2.php’ and all is well.
I can finally go to bed (it’s now 4:30am). I love u!

I would like to have the recipeint of a PM get an email notification that they have a message sent to them. Is this standard in BuddyPress and if so, where and how can I activate this?
Thanks

That is taken from @modemlooper‘s bp-columns which is a child theme of bp-default but with a second sidebar…

You need to learn how create your own BuddyPress component first. The skeleton component plugin is a good start and has commented examples.
If you do not know how to get form values you might be in over your head. I’d google a bit and find some tutorials on php.
