Have you reviewed:

If your parent theme has a page.php or index.php in the root directory then copy one of those files over to your child themes root directory and rename it to buddypress.php

I have the same problem. However, my hide_sitewide values are “1” for private forum entries, but are being completely ignored with the sitewide activity is shown.
I, too, upgraded from legacy groups to sitewide forums.
I am running bbPress 2.4 with buddypress 1.8.1
I have run the forum tools script to repair hidden forums, but this hasn’t made a difference.
I’m really worried about this security breach and – despite seeing a number of posts in here pointing this out – the development team seem unable to recreate it at their end. Nevertheless, it seems it is affecting people like us and we need to lock it down ASAP.
Thanks.

I’ve been having the same problem. It’s a huge security breach and I’d love to get to the bottom of it. I’m using buddypress 1.8.1 and bbpress 2.4.
It’s actually really scary, since my private forums are having sensitive conversations that they believe to be private when, in fact, they are being broadcast in their entirety to everyone. This is horrendous.

i think it should be in buddypress core… not as a plugin.

yes if you are making a child them then you can copy and past or after that you can edit files. if you are making a theme or it is not a child theme so there should’t be any sidebar till then you don’t add the code

hi squared index you don’t mention what type of theme you are creating. if you are creating a child theme so you have to copy all files with the folder which have sidebar from defaul bp-them like activity folder with the index file or other folders and main index file after that simply remove the line

<?php get_sidebar( ‘buddypress’ ); ?>

usually this file locate in the last of index files.

visit on my site http://www.vellamind.com/activity/

i have chage the position of side bar in my theme

Good luck

If you had checked the link @carlh1 had provided you would see when you click on community that the issue is unresolved. An experienced developer may be able to help but if the theme is over-bloated and doesn’t follow standard WordPress template structures then I am afraid you are in for a hefty price-tag even if you hire one. If you have not already checked it out review:

See if that helps. Based on your previous topics when you mentioned Non Disclosure Agreements your probably going to have a rough time finding anyone that would be willing to sign that. After all BP, Themes, and all plugins that require WordPress to work fall under GNU/GPL because they are derivative works that uses WordPress’s hooks, actions, filters etc. in order to work with WordPress it has to be. Realistically I doubt your site will be any more groundbreaking than anyone else who has created a WP/BP powered community site so it is right silly to require a NDA! I have seen some very amazing sites created with WP & BP but most of them come from top notch experienced web developers and web designers. Please don’t take this as discouraging or negative just set a realistic goal. Either way good luck!

@alanniemies I would report this issue with the premium theme developer or check the premium theme’s forums. Surely you’re not the only one who has experienced this issue with BuddyPress activated.

@davidollerton Where are you hosted? Does your hosting have GD library installed and/or imagemagick? Can you upload media in a regular WP Post or Page and choose the small/media thumbnail?

What plugins do you have installed? Have you checked whether deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and changing to Twenty Twelve or Bp Default theme resolve the issue?

@craftersuniversity At this moment, I see that you’re using a Twenty Eleven as parent theme and not Twenty Twelve.

Twenty Eleven has a one-column layout for its default page.php. Check out this tutorial for getting a sidebar into the BP pages: http://bpsocialnetwork.wordpress.com/2013/06/02/twenty-eleven-theme-compatibility/

per OP, closing this topic in favor of https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-and-twenty-twelve-compatibility/

BP is fully compatible with WP default themes it’s what we’ll test against amongst others.

If you’re running in theme compatibility mode then BP uses page.php initially to render it’s screens, although you can overide that by creating new versions of that file, so you should see whatever sidebar page.php is showing.

If you are doing anything contrary to basic theme compatibility you’ll need to detail that.

There are a couple of guides on theme compatibility in the Codex which will help you understand your options.

@estopero Could you post a link to your site so we can see exactly what’s going on?

If you’re not already using one, set up an object cache. It’s relatively simple and will be a big improvement for all WordPress things, not just BuddyPress.

I’m having a problem that I’m hoping the above situation will fix, but I need more information on how to utilize what’s above.

Problem: WordPress toolbar is NOT showing up in MSIE, Firefox or Safari browsers. It IS showing in the Google Chrome browser. I’ve tried logging in with different accounts to see if it’s related to the login, but it’s the same – admin or member account – no toolbar. ALSO it’s the same with my other WordPress site – both are on two different servers. However, if I go to a WordPress.com site (versus a WordPress installation on a server/private site), the WordPress toolbar IS available.

Since the WordPress toolbar is not available, I was hoping I could create menu tabs/options to get members easily to their BuddyPress inbox. The above information about building links from the sample structure is Greek to me. Where do I put that code? I’m using the Mantra Theme, so would I put it in the Custom CSS area? In the Appearance > Menu > Enter URL option? I’m thoroughly confused and I’m such a newb. Sorry!

Here’s the website I’m building: http://ilovevampirenovels.com/ravenousbooktours

Thank you!

Great great app! Thank you. I have a question: how to post to my group(s)? It seems every time when I submit something, it goes to the all members update wall, nothing shows up in my group. Any idea what could go wrong?

Thanks!
