Here is my more in depth post, as you will see I have tried many themes. Nearly all in the template pack. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/buddypress-theme-knocks-out-my-navigation-structure?replies=1
I have now decided to go back to graphene and install the compatibility pack but am having problems with that. I am following the instructions as per this post
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/making-theme-buddypress-compatible/
BUT… after the index.php page I am supposed to do the blog page code, but the code is very different to the one in the example, hence I don’t know what to replace.e.g.
DELETED -content posted was from https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/blogs/index.php
You’re welcome.
== Which file do I edit to get the BP Album profile page to display my style? ==
Not sure. Please post at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/ You can refer them to this post if needed.
Documentation for BuddyPress 1.5 claims support for oembed in forums as well as activity/status updates and blog posts. I can’t seem to have it working at all in forum posts. What am I doing wrong?
== … a page with directories and registration that have drop down menus to create new pages to associate or pick an existing one. I’m not sure what to do here or if I made a new one what to call it? ==
If you had a default installation in BP 1.5 before upgrading to BP 1.5 and did not create Pages which have slugs like that of the BuddyPress components, then choose the corresponding Page in dropdown per BuddyPress component if it’s there.
@welvincudas you need to complete Step 3 of the BP Template Pack compatibility process. If you need assistance, open up your theme’s page.php file, select all and copy, and paste onto pastebin.com. Click submit and post the generated URL here.

You’d have to use the first method of fixing alignment in the BP Compatibility process to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. The first method involves changing HTML structure in the 16 files as listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles
A. Download the six BP template folders which were transferred to your adventure-journal theme in server down to your computer hard drive.
** We’ll explore if the adventure-specific template tags will work within BP. It will spout errors if it’s not working, so we’ll have to delete such template tags. But if no errors show up, it’s good to go.
B. Starting with activity/index.php, open it up and at the top of the file, replace:
`
`
with
`
<div class="content" >
<div id="col-main" role="main" style="”>
<div id="main-content" >`
C, At the very bottom of the same file, replace:
`
`
with
`
`
D. Save file and do the same to the remaining 15 files per list linked above except for registration/register.php where 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();
});
});
`
E, Upload the six folders to your server wp-content/themes/adventure-journal folder
I have a production site and it’s “Beta” test site that are doing the same thing and I’m not sure how to stop it. When an admin, author, or contributor logs into WordPress (not BuddyPress), they are redirected to the home page instead of Dashboard. When I deactivate BuddyPress, this stops and they go to Dashboard (as expected). I tried deactivating plugins and changing themes, but nothing changes until I deactivate BuddyPress.
I’ve just tried setting up a third test site and only have the default WordPress and BuddyPress installs (with the BP Template Pack plugin to provide compatibility for the Twenty Eleven theme). It’s doing the same thing. What is going on and how do I make it stop?
Does anybody know if U BuddyPress Forum Attachments and Editor is compatible with BuddyPress 1.5.1? Thank you!
Hi EVERYONE! Is there any plugin for google analytics,clicky analytics and google webmasters for buddypress 1.5.1
Hi EVERYONE! Is there any plugin for google analytics,clicky analytics and google webmasters for buddypress 1.5.1
It is a bit tricky, unfortunately. I want to make it easier in a future version. Could I ask what version of BuddyPress you are using? The latest version is 1.5.1
I think you got your version numbers messed up; you must be on 1.5 or 1.5.1 as it’s the first versions where the repair button comes in. Do you know which version of BuddyPress you were on previously? Really 1.0?
99.999% of support topics are not even BuddyPress related, that being said, give the people, like myself, who come here daily and try to help some respect.
Thanks Paul, I was in the process of putting on my boots to go find me some ah ‘dem har tires to kick! 
I am very much a newbie and do understand the frustration but that energy could be more productively spent. Anyway, Boone did a couple great Buddypress presentations which can be found on WordPress TV. Also, there’s a Buddypress for Dummies book. Both provide good foundational material even though neither are up-to-date. But I think that’s awesome because it means we’ve got some very committed people in this community who are intent on continuous improvement.
TireKicker, consider this your first warning: If you haven’t got anything nice to say, go somewhere else. Stop spamming this forum.
And this here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2354 doesnt really explain how it works in bp 1.5 with bbp 2.0
AFAIK, as a prospective user like you evaluating all WP options, BP sounds ideal…but getting it to actually work seems like the bad ol’ days before Windows 3.1!!
I think there’s an option for that now (group forums vs. sitewide forums) in the BuddyPress admin menu now. I run BP on a Multisite install of WP, so mine is in the Network admin side of things, but you should be able to find the option to install/uninstall one or the other under BuddyPress -> Forums
The problem is that there is no introduction to this kind of ethos, this BuddyPress ethos.
I suspect that many here are either geeky types who are used to this Web 2.0 mindset or people born during the ’90s who never knew any other way of doing things.
Some of us may be older and thus used to a very “orderly” — that is, tightly hierarchical — way of presenting information…it would help to explain BuddyPress in the FAQ section with such folks in mind.
BuddyPress sounds promising…but there is simply no documentation explaining the philosophical assumptions behind it, never mind individual toggles for specific components….
Me, I’d like for my site’s registered users to be able to create their own particular interest groups and user profiles but limit forums to a traditional site-wide kind of affair…seems like it should be possible to do all this, but I can’t see how in the available documentation I’ve been able to piece together!
OMG, finally a support site that’s worse than what you get at Drupal.org…yes, I too can’t find my way around here. No wonder everyone uses the ’90s-looking phpBulletin software for a forum! Can’t believe this BuddyPress is from the same folks behind WordPress — but then again, maybe the WordPress site was a mess at first, too….
Part of the problem is that everyone’s (that is, everyone “normal” and not on Facebook all the time) expecting a standard forum with an orderly hierarchy whereas this BuddyPress way of doing things is…chaotic.
