@qzplx did you go through the Installation Wizard? https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/

@andy0007, @hnla has got it right. You have BP template folders in your theme. Delete the 6 BP folders and see what happens (crossing fingers) 🙂

Congratulation!

For starters you have a critical markup error in a misplaced closing div this will not only throw out most browsers ability to render a layout  but makes tracking down any other issues pointless until it’s rectified.

Can you confirm that you haven’t originally attempted to run the template pack plugin on this theme to get it BP compatible as those BP pages do not feel like ‘theme compat’ ones. You don’t have any BP template files moved into your theme do you?

I thought I needed to activate the BuddyPress Template Pack

Why?

The theme you chose is a BuddyPress enabled, aware theme; you do not need to or want to run the template pack on it.

I would just delete the ‘Custom Community’ theme and install a fresh copy and start over.

hi, im using sahifa theme and i have the same issue with sidebars.

need to remove sidebars from all buddypress pages . i fallow this guide but i get stuck deleting the 6 folders … which ones ?

or is there any other way to just disable the sidebars for all buddypress pages? …

compatibility its fine …

Ok… I’m a dope.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated by this technically deficit boobhead! I can usually figure something out with good instruction – and I’ve tried figuring this out unsuccessfully 🙁

I thought I needed to activate the BuddyPress Template Pack and when I did, I now get:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring() (previously declared in /home/usafun/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php:91) in /home/usafun/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/custom-community/_inc/ajax.php on line 81

I can’t get into dashboard of my blog to deactivate the template pack or anywhere else on the website at http://www.funseekersusa.com/blog 🙁

This is my son’s non-profit organization (he’s 13 and just incorporated in Florida), so I really need help undoing what I did to crap out his blog.

Again, any and all help would be greatly appreciated (and is desperately needed).

@demetrius-pop ah the permissions problem. For the multisite installation, activating BuddyPress network-wide resolved that for me.

Deactivate BP – from main site or subsite dashboard. Then go to Network Admin > Plugins and activate BuddyPress there. This will activate BP in main site by default. If you want BP in secondary site (subsite), add the following to your wp-config.php file before activating BuddyPress network-wide:
define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 3 );
change 3 to the blog ID where you want BP installed.

You would want to look at how creating pages, slugs, along with front-end posting are done within the member’s profile section in theBuddyBlog plugin. It’s a bit more than what you need, but you’ll get the drift when you look at the code.

@cikez Glad you resolved the issue and thanks for posting back on what caused it 🙂 Good to know that theme compat is working even in Artisteer themes.

WP/BP versions? Single/Multisite install? Have you done some basic troubleshooting like changing to BP default theme or deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress?

try using this for the friend request url (not tested)

‘href’  => ( ‘bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_friends_slug() . ‘/requests/’ )

and this for the messages
‘href’  => ( ‘bp_loggedin_user_domain() .  bp_get_messages_slug() . ‘/view/’ )
