@candy2012 go to https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/ or the forum home page for whatever group you are trying to post in. Click new, head to the bootom of the page and post!
Yeah, I have as well, and posted a new thread requestiong help…
Will continue to search backward and see if I can find a response elsewhere…
== Page errors on everything I tried to do in terms of interacting with the members page- next page results, sorting, searching, etc. ==
Windows or Linux? Single WP or WP Multisite? Where is your WP/BP installed? Domain root or subdirectory or subdomain? if the two latter ones – make sure the subdir and subdom are not named the same as a BP component. e.g. groups.example.com and example.com/groups are no-no’s
== ie have you guys had any luck with getting sitewide forums working yet? ==
We’ve got both forums working together ever since BP 1.5 https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
@candy2012 peace be with you too 
@niwaroll Per initial scan, you only need to create three new files, header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and footer-buddypress.php
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your yserif theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your yserif theme folder in server – activity, blogs, forums, members, groups, register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.
A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php
Open up header-buddypress.php and at the bottom of the file, below other code contained within, add this:
`
<div id="f9-container" class="”>
But I’m running BP v 1.5.4.
Speaking of which, I changed my theme to ‘BuddyPress Default 1.5.4’ (to match my BP version) and the problem was still there. Page errors on everything I tried to do in terms of interacting with the members page- next page results, sorting, searching, etc.
I’m a little reluctant to upgrade to 1.5.5- the upgrade to 1.5.4 changed enough things to set me back a week or 2 with features I had to account for, and how it affected plugins that were already working. Speaking of which, any updates on the bbpress integration beyond group forums? (ie have you guys had any luck with getting sitewide forums working yet?)
If necessary, I’ll do the upgrade, but hoping you understand my reservations.
Edit History, in all probability will not work with current bbPress plugin and bbpress quotes look good for current bbPress, no guarantees though. The best place to ask about this is at bbPress forums – log in using same username and password used here.
bbPress 1.0 plugins, you can’t. I mean, technically it is possible, but it’s a *huge* amount of work to reconfigure the forums to work like that. You’d be going back about two years of BuddyPress/forum integration, and it literally had a 40-step integration process.
bbPress 2.0 plugins, should work fine.
under forums forum for groups is installed
I have a similar problem: after installing buddypress: groups; forum; activities ;members come up. But at registration I get this error message: User registration is currently not allowed.
On the four tabs of Buddypress settings I cant find a setting to turn registration on or off.
I have looked up and found this line in the php files but don’t know how to read those.
I use a clean wordpress 3.3.2_nl install for budypressonly on a subdomain.
And also the default buddypresstheme.
Please don’t post on both here and on the Trac:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4189 until it is confirmed that this is a bug in BuddyPress core, and not a problem with your installation of BuddyPress. The same people who read Trac read the forum.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4189
Yes, update to a newer version of PHP, and then start this again on a clean install (new download of BP, empty database).
Please also then test creating a group, and a forum post, with non-Arabic characters. Maybe it is a bug.
@Scorpiion4984 Remember this is a support forum, not a ‘do work for me for free’ forum. Mercime has already spent lots of time writing documentation for this sort of task (the codex.BuddyPress.org link above). Copy the CSS into your theme’s style.css.
If you don’t understand how to do this, or further adjust the CSS to fit your site, I would suggest either learning the basics of CSS — it’s pretty straightforward — or hire a developer to help you on your site.
I did find that mentioning myself is a workaround. That way when I view Your Activity/Mentions I can see my Topics that I mention myself in.
I did see the link under the upper right Profile dropdown menu an item “Forums/Topics Started” but it is empty even though I started Topics.

== So if I start a topic in a group forum and others reply, there is no way to reply to one of the specific replies. ==
Do you mean threaded comments to forum replies just like in Activity Streams (wall/wire) and Blog Post Comments? If so, then there is none by default as forums by nature are flat discussions where you refer to what you’re replying to by @ mention and/or quoting post/sentence/phrase which you are replying to in your post.
There’s a plugin for threaded replies which you could use for Sitewide Forums aka bbPress plugin 2.+ https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-threaded-replies/ but none that I recall made specifically for Group Forums.
@indieconnect Great! Crossing my fingers and toes
Hey! We found the pages with the Member Directory, Groups and Forums. I think we may have it! I will let you know if we have further challenges… Yea!
i have same problem. please help.
i delete the buddypress and bb config.php from my server and all bb tables from data base.
why when i want to re install buddypress the instalation wizard not shown?
and when i go to the forums section in buddypress setting to creat Forums for Groups.it shown
this words “
“(Installed) Forums for Groups
“
and the install new group forum button is not shown????
pleas help
I dissected what you said. I looked at and gingerly poked at the files. I got someone who knows more and we moved some stuff and tried different things. We narrowed it down to the fact that the install was not going to completion – wp-config and/or bb-config were not communicating with the rest of the site to finish the process. So I contacted my hosting gods and they have made the error messages disappear. I am not sure it is truly fixed – we cannot figure out how to create a forum or group and see no admin resources to set stuff up. How do I know if the installation is complete?
@nsbalgcom You will only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php

I note: Yes, I understand this and this is what I want and expect. By the way I am running sbrajesh’s. I also run BuddyPress Activity Plus and have turned it off and on on both sites. It does not affect the output.
What I am looking at is notification of new Posts showing up in the Activity Stream of each site. In the main site when I write a Post is shows up in that sites Activity Stream (again this is desired). On the sub site when I write a post it does not show up in that site’s Activity Stream (again not desired, I want it to show up). I would post a screen shot but I don’t know how in this forum…
I am looking to find out why it shows up in the primary site but not the secondary.
Thanks,

@jakeyboy1989 Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your bloggingnews theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
`
with
`
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to `
// Titles Of Respective BP Page Templates //
`, just watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.
Save files.
In fact I have gone and checked for you and your theme has been covered on this post:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/where-are-my-sub-menus/
This is the extent of mercime’s help – the code necessary to make bp template files compatible with a given theme and then it’s up to the poster to implement that code in their files. So the work has been done as it were and just needs implementing, if you still haven’t the time to do that then I would suggest you make a slightly better offer 20 euros might be a little more incentive for someone and perhaps post the request in the jobs board group.
Wow @mercime – awesome, thanks!
I followed your instructions, plus added the css in the link above to style.css in the child theme. The only other change I needed to make was adding this to align the text with the avatar image:
`div#item-header-avatar img {
align: left;
}`
And so far everything looks good!
Thank you again – you are such an amazing resource here in the support forums and I can’t thank you enough!!
