This snipped section from the link mercime provided, as can be seen it states existing instals using the bp-default theme will still use it it’s not going to suddenly stop working but changing to the theme compatibility process is in best interests.

If you are already using bp-default, either directly or as a parent theme, don’t worry. BuddyPress 1.9 will detect that you need bp-default, and will continue to register it with WordPress. Note that if you switch away from a bp-default theme (say, for testing), the theme will disappear from Dashboard > Appearance. If you need it back, add the following line to your bp-custom.php file:

add_filter( 'bp_do_register_theme_directory', '__return_true' );

EEK!

There have been many changes between these versions. Did you by chance backup your database before upgrade? You need to do an incremental upgrade. Also, current BP doesn’t use it’s own forum anymore and you have to install bbPress separately.

There is also a plugin that does this. It’s old, but it still works:

Thank you @mercime for your warning, I am not very happy with the fact that bp-default is going to be a past, I like that theme, I thought that I will avoid a lot of problems staying with default theme, but for sure developers knows what they do, so I will start to think about the different theme, and will do everything to be a responsive from the start, instead to continue to maintain and edit this one. I would welcome some expert’s recommendation which one should for buddypress fit best now.

@hajhaj there are different ways to implement a new layout for all BuddyPress pages. Check out how it was done for the WP default themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/

@craigola Do you mean you want to set up different account types and that one kind is that for children? If so, have you checked out https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-user-account-type-lite/

Unfortunately, there don’t seem to be hooks to avoid recording such activity.

And unfortunately you can’t suppress the display of only some group activity stream items – it’s groups or no groups.

So you have to filter all activity stream items – they all use the same code.

Take a look at the filter hook at the bottom of
function bp_has_activities
in
buddypress\bp-activity\bp-activity-template.php

This thread should give you some code to start with:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/is-it-possible-to-hide-or-remove-activity-in-the-main-activity-stream-from-certain-groups-while-keep/

In case anyone is having the same problem, the solution i came up with was to make a plugin using the buddypress members widget core code, as @danbpfr suggested. That widget was not breaking things, so once i had a plugin version i was able to add some of the extra things that were in my original loop.

I posted a note
– In the front end Activity feed at 3:40 pm (correct time)
– Dashboard > Activity shows 10:40 am (5 hours backwards)

Someone posted a note
– In the BBpress forum at 10:59 am (correct time)
– Front end Activity feed shows 3:59 pm (5 hours forward)
– Dashboard > Activity shows 10:59 am. (correct time)

BuddyPress 1.8.1
bbPress 2.4.1

@4ella since you’re using the BP Default theme, please be aware of http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/the-future-of-the-bp-default-theme/

Going back to the issue at hand, your main navigation links are showing up that way because of the responsive style included in the BP Default theme:
lines 43-50 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.8.1/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/responsive.css#L43
lines 211-221 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.8.1/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/responsive.css#L211

Per their installation video and the directions I have gleaned from this Support site,

@petdailypress I don’t know about the theme author’s installation video as we have no access to that. What you just need to do is to install and activate BuddyPress and then configure the components, pages and settings.

I cannot get the Registration page to work because it never set up the page

Register and Activation Pages

I want to put this search onto various other pages, but don’t know what files I should be looking for or where to find them.

I want the search on the indiviual’s profile page, on the main page for each type of user account, where it is currently on the members page, etc.

I have found the form in the Buddypress theme header.php file so what I need to know now is where to copy it too and where to find the files that I should be copying to.

Hi,
a solution here (in spanish).
cheers

@pmuktan Nearly all WordPress themes are compatible with BuddyPress. You just need to activate BuddyPress, then configure the BP Components/Pages/Settings. We don’t have access to the premium themes, but if Themeshift has the_title and the_content within the WP loop in its page.php file, then you should be good to go.

@pmuktan for importing your Mingle Forums to bbPress Forums (which BuddyPress uses), check out how to do so at https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/mingle/

You’d find support for Mingle importer at https://bbpress.org/forums/
