mercime, thanks for link but it looks to me as if there only sidebars. All I need to do is put [featslider] on a page, for example Home Page, and the slider shows up. Needless to say I tried it on the Forum page, but it did not show up.
Could I put that or some code into the file that the forum page is in, so when the forum page is loaded it will also load the slider.
Please post this at the plugin’s forums at WPorg site https://wordpress.org/tags/events-manager
@sarbanharble you’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.
I want to extend my sincerest thank you for your help.
I just need to tweak the style sheet a bit, but otherwise it’s great. Thanks.
The register form appears to be displaying when I visit the link?!
I’m afraid that you are asking theme specific questions and this support forum is really geared to buddypress itself and it’s default theme. Salutation does a have support forums and asking there will get you a far better response also they will have guides that you should read and follow.
The top tabs are accessed from /wp-admin/themes.php?page=sidebars-top-tabs you need to also do something about adding their behaviour in the Appearance > widgets page
Thanks for responding.
I’m not clear what your answer means though (sorry, not a developer). Are you saying that Buddypress.org only controls the parts that go into the activity stream and no-one here deals with the way the forum posts are truncated and displayed in the Activity stream?
Is there another place I should be asking about this, then?
Thanks again,
Julie
== I need to fix up the alignment still (which is another problem) ==
@jakeyboy1989 Fixing alignment and making BP template files mesh in with your theme’s styles at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/publicprivate-sites-cross-posting-content/?#post-128351
Does anyone care to shed some light on this subject? Still I am unable to find anything. Looks as though from no responses and no details, I think my partner and I will be attempting a fix ourselves. If we do, then we’ll most definitely share this with the community.
? you seem to be referring to a bbPress issue given the link above; forum posts and indeed WP blog posts truncate without a link, BP activity updates however are fine and have an active read more link.
The feature you refer to doesn’t mention forums or posts
> Add truncation for long posts; adds a “read more” link which dynamically loads the full text (#2635, #3203).
Perhaps if you perceive the behaviour as wrong you could open a trac ticket?
Thanks.
I tried what you suggested and the problem is still there. If someone posts to a forum inside a public group, that activity shows up on the activity stream truncated but with only the “[…]”, but no link.
(“Read more” does show up if someone posts in just the group’s stream. But if it’s in a forum topic in that group, no link.)
@davidvess Sorry for the inconvenience. We are aware of the issue. You can search via Google in the meantime. Thanks.
== Do I have to separately install bbPress? ==
No, you don’t have to install the bbPress plugin if you want to use Group Forums at all. Go to the specific Group’s page > Admin tab to manage your Group.
== I want to be able to limit access to a group / forum based on the user role ==
You need create a plugin to do that. Or, make the Group either Private or Hidden. Members can only request to join in or members can be invited to join Private groups. Membership in Hidden Groups is by invitation only.
Just giving this a bump/reminder.
@mercime Well, testing the theme on it’s own on my local server shows that comments work without issues, so I don’t think it’s a theme issue.
@Hugo, The problem described by the first poster, perfectly fit my situation, So i thought it would be fine to chime in with my voice here. I actually thought I was doing something good to keep forums threads to a minimum. I’ll be sure to start a new thread next time.
I haven’t de-activated the theme, because unfortunately, the site is now live, and I didn’t test it thoroughly before launch. So I geuss I’ll get it setup up a dev server and then do the testing you suggest.
In general, besides plugin conflicts and permalinks, are there any other culprits? server side things?
@johnnyscience http://ohiocannabis.com/forums/forum/medical would be the normal structure of a default sitewide install. /forums/ is the slug of the sitewide forums directory and /forum/ refers to the specific forum – medical.
However when I go to ohiocannabis.com/forums/ I get a “The forums component has not been set up yet.” error which leads me to think that there’s a conflict of the /forums/ slug between Group Forums and Sitewide Forums or that you have not created a page named Forums and added the bbPress shortcode on that page.
Check Codex reference for setting up Sitewide Forums – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
For more information about the Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin 2+) please post at the bbpress.org forums
B. COPY your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php
Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and at the TOP, above all code contained within, add this
``
Then at the BOTTOM of sidebar-buddypress.php, below all other code, add this:
`
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 file.
C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/unstandard/ at the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are in
D. Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.
@sarbanharble I downloaded The Unstandard theme from http://5thirtyone.com
See if the instructions below to fix alignment will work for you:
You will only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your unstandard theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your Unstandard 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="post-” class=”single-entry group”>
The code here works:
`/* Redirect BP group to forum tab rather than activity tab */
function redirect_group_home() {
global $bp;
$path = clean_url( $_SERVER );
$path = apply_filters( ‘bp_uri’, $path );
if (bp_is_group_home() && strpos( $path, $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug] ) === false ) {
if ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member || $bp->groups->current_group->status == ‘public’) {
bp_core_redirect( $path . ‘forum/’ );
}
}
}
function move_group_activity_tab() {
global $bp;
if (isset($bp->groups->current_group->slug) && $bp->groups->current_group->slug == $bp->current_item) {
unset($bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]);
}
}
//The following line redirects to a group forum page rather than a group activity page
add_action(‘bp_init’, ‘redirect_group_home’ );
//The following line removes the group activity tab entirely
//add_action(‘bp_init’, ‘move_group_activity_tab’);`
However, it renders the activity update button useless (i.e. can’t post activity updates in a group!). Removing the code from bp-custom makes group activity updates work, putting it back in breaks activity updates 
Any hints?

Paul, You are a genius! Thank you!!!
