@loudrake first, what theme are you using? If you have a WP theme and used the BP Template Pack plugin, which method did you use to make your WP theme compatible with BP – 1st method which changes more than a dozen BP template files or the 2nd method using header-/sidebar-buddypress.php?

All probability is that you’re used the first method and missed replacing the divs in all the required BP template files as listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

@suziwilson congratulations on your pastebin post
To make sure that your code shows up in this forum, place backtick (`) the symbol within the parentheses at the beginning and at the end of your code. For long/big blocks of code, pastebin is better.

` `
We’ll be using the first method to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress – changing HTML structure in 16 BP template files transferred to your Listings theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility Process. Download the 6 BP folders transferred to your Listings theme during the process.

Starting with activity/index.php At the top of the file, replace

`

`

Save file. Then do this with the remaining 15 files except for registration/register.php where at the very bottom, you 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. Upload to server.
` `

You would still have some minor tweaks to the styles within the template. I’ve posted the tweaks used in some themes near middle of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

Then it might not be the BuddyPress plugin causing the problem. Access your web server’s error log, and tell us what the error is. If you’re unable / don’t know how to do this, ask your web host for support.

Hi Buddypress Team,

I’m seeking technical advice for only ONE item… the rest is ‘in the bag’

I’m using Buddypress with the Fishbook theme & WordPress MultiSite. I’m trying to display one custom header for each blogs/sites (located in subfolders). After tweaking around for 2 day with style.css & header.php (with horrific results – like 2 headers showing at once, or none at all), now I think it’s time to seek advice!

My attempts were made using the plugin “Dynamic Headers by Nicasio Design”), but Murphy’s Law doesn’t seem to be on my side for this one. OR, am I using the wrong plugin?

Regards,
Peter

I know this is an old topic, but its in the top results of Google when trying to find a solution for this.

So, to help save other people time (who land on this page when Google’ing this situation) here’s the fastest fix I’ve come across so far.

Create a file called “bp_custom.php”.

In it add:

function bbg_change_tabs() {

global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav = ‘New Profile Verbiage’;
$bp->bp_nav = ‘New Activity Verbiage’;
$bp->bp_nav = ‘New Friends Verbiage’;
$bp->bp_nav = ‘New Groups Verbiage’;
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_tabs’, 999 );

Replace the “New W/e Verbiage” with what you want it to say.
Double check that BuddyPress forums didn’t change any foot marks to apostrophes.
Save bp_custom.php and upload the file to /wp-contents/plugins/

Refresh your page to see if it worked.

So far it works for me just fine.

@suziwilson there’s an alternative way to make WP theme compatible with BP using BP Template Pack Plugin depending on the theme

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-eleven-bp-1-5/

If you need further assistance, open up your WP theme’s page.php, select all and copy, paste to pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URL here. Posting what theme you’re using, site URL would facilitate assistance as well.

No, BuddyPress had/has nothing to do with P2.

@Jack

Thank you so much for this! I hope this isn’t a dumb question, but to which file do I add this code? I’m brand new to BuddyPress.

This snippet looks good to go

Thanks. Wasn’t BP basically an offshoot from P2? Would there be a way to just incorporate the P2 method of displaying the tag activity? Sure, tags sort of take away from the “status update” concept that we know of from other large social networking sites, but it would really take Buddypress to another level by having that feature available.
