Did you install BuddyPress correctly? Did you go through the install wizard?
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/

@junglejinge you need to wrap your code within backticks (`) the symbol between the parentheses for short blocks of code. But for large blocks like the page.php source code, use pastebin.com as aces mentioned above

I gathered additional information from WP.org forums

BP compatibility process for Graphene Theme

A. After you activate the Graphene theme, install and activate BP Template Pack

B. Go to Appearance > BP Compatibility and go through the process till you click Finish. Do not disable the Template Pack’s CSs nor JS. You’ll see this in frontend [before you make the changes, the regular page and the component page]

It’s totally unlike what you have currently at http://www.meetinbradford.org/

Note: this theme has many options which may or may not work with the modifications placed below. In case the following exercise does not work, please contact the graphene theme developer and refer him/her to this post.

C. Download the 6 BP folders which were transferred to your graphene theme folder in server down to your computer hard drive. Because of your theme’s HTML structure, you will need to use the first method for fixing alignment on 16 files within the folders you downloaded. Those 16 files listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

Starting with activity/index.php open it up with text editor
At the very top, replace:
`

`

Save file. Then do this for the remaining 15 files listed in link except for registration/register.php where you do the same for the top portion of the file but at the bottom of the file, replace:

`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

with:
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();

jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save files and upload the six folders with modified template files to your theme folder in server.

D. Styling modifications – you’d most probably want to tweak some styles that come with bp.css. Check out style.css mods used in twenty theme as guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

Make sure you are using the most recent BuddyPress translation file to do your translation:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages/buddypress.pot

If you need to merge an older translation file with the newer BuddyPress one, read this guide:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/#poedit (scroll down to “Updating your custom language file”)

You should be good. Although there are probably a few usermeta entries as well, but that shouldn’t affect your site.

If you deactivated BuddyPress already and you still have a redirect loop, that means there’s a good chance the loop was not caused by BuddyPress.

If you “screwed around” with the URL settings of your WP site, there is a good chance this caused your bug.

If you can, revert to an old backup of your WP setup (database and filesystem). If you can’t, disable all your plugins and reactivate them one by one to find the culprit.

For 99% of themes, you can use any WordPress Google Analytics plugin and it will work for BuddyPress!
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/google-analytics

Thanks for testing the trunk version!

Your scenario only occurs if javascript was disabled or if there is a conflict in the javascript. Are you using a custom theme? There’s a chance a plugin could also be intefering with the javascript.

Deleting activity updates when javascript was disabled was recently fixed in trunk:

If there are any other links that are broken and not reported, please post them on Trac:

Hi, please do not create a new topic because no one has responded to you yet.

To start, are you using the BuddyPress Default theme?

WordPress plugin pages usually show the compatibility version as set by the plugin author.

Recent date can be viewed by clicking on the “Development log” link on the plugin page’s right sidebar.
eg. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress (view the right hand sidebar for the link)

For status updates, you’ll have to either:
– post on the plugin’s support forum
– find the author’s website / Twitter account and ping that person.

For plugin compatibility, check out this codex page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ (this might need to be updated)

To update this thread, basic profile privacy is currently being worked on:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3695

It will most likely be a plugin before it is included within the main BuddyPress core code.
Timetable for release (if I were to guess) would be late this year / early next year.

Activity is wide open even without friends out of the box.

Example can be found on testbp.org:
http://testbp.org/activity

To disable the friends component, login to the WP admin dashboard and navigate to “BuddyPress > Components”, uncheck “Friend Connections” and save.

Then navigate to the sitewide activity stream, which by default is located at:
hxxp://example.com/activity.

If this is not what you had in mind, please elaborate!

Hi, to make sure you have setup your forums properly, please try following the steps listed under “Set up a new bbPress installation”:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#forums-setup
Then follow the steps to create a new group forum under “Enable Forum for each Group” at the link above.

After you have done that, try making a post in a group forum.

I replied to your post on testbp.org:
http://testbp.org/groups/buddypress-testers-614548248/forum/topic/can-you-post-a-chart-or-video

Just post the link in question (like a YouTube video) on its own line.

If you are using some forum plugin like a WYSIWYG editor, that might intefere with it.

Something like that being worked on by @r-a-y I recall.

1. Make Twenty Eleven compatible with BuddyPress https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-eleven-bp-1-5/

2. In many cases, WP plugins work with BuddyPress.

Before installing it into your active/busy WP site, I recommend ichecking out BP in a test install preferably with the same server environment as your current WP install. e.g. in a physical subdomain in same server.

Deactivate BuddyPress.
1. Please check requirements https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server
2. Make sure that you have WP install working with pretty permalinks https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#wp-configuration
3. Then activate BuddyPress

@henrybcn Thanks for the bug report!

A lot of the repo themes are outdated. It’s ridiculous that they screen themes heavily when they are submitted to the repo but are then forgotten and never tested on newer versions of wp or bp. The theme review system at WordPress.org is completely flawed.
