I have tested this using the base version WP 3.3.1 and 1.5.5 of BP as a plugin as well and it failed again. I have tested this on Mac using MAMP. It seems to be bug to me & I am surprised not to see too many posting on the issue
== Is there a way to completely UNINSTALL and REINSTALL all components of BuddyPress and BuddyPress Template Pack?! ==
To uninstall template pack, you can delete the BP template folders in your theme’s folder, then deactivate template pack plugin.
To uninstall BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/deleting-buddypress/
== I keep getting a 404 Page Not Found Error for EVERY BuddyPress link I click on at the top main menu ==
Mod_rewrite must be enabled in your server for “pretty permalinks” required by BuddyPress. Go to Settings > Permalinks and set it to something other than default.
== The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams, Discussion Forums, User Groups, Members, Activate, Register. Repair ==
Go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages. You need to associate BP components with Pages. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#bp-pages

We still have no resolution of this problem. Can anyone advise further please?
Are you still using the same webhost you used in this post from 9 months ago? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/problems-with-buddypress/?topic_page=2&num=15
Have you contacted your webhosting tech support if they support BuddyPress with your hosting plan? Can they increase memory to 96MB or more if needed?
Dang! Well, the problem is, I could just use forum topics to blog with so that I could stay in tune with a particular group, but the forum won’t allow image embeds, (not obviously anyway).
So then I could try blogging with some form of gallery plugin using just the comments fields as a blogging space but I don’t know even where to begin there.
So what I am trying to do is actually embrace the BuddyPress philosophy but I can’t quite link all aspects of WP and BP together. If I could somehow get blog categories to merge with groups, I think I’d be set.
For example, if on the Groups page I would select a topic. The page for that topic now displays three tabs: Home, Forum and Members. If there was another tab there called “Blogs” that would call up all blog posts asscociated with that group, that would be awesome, (well I think so anyway).
@indieconnect This is to confirm that to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress, you only need to create two new files. Those files are header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php. You do not need a footer-buddypress.php file
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your Atahualpa theme folder during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your Atahualpa 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 theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php
UPDATED INFORMATION BELOW
Ah, well; trac is prone to lying. I could move all the tickets in 1.6 into a future release milestone, and it would say 100% 
The big thing holding up 1.6 — and a beta of 1.6 — is bbPress 2.1; specifically, the Group Forums integration stuff. Both bbPress 2.1 and BuddyPress 1.6 need to hit beta and be released at the same time for this to work out well.
At the last dev chat, I asked John (BP + BBP lead dev) to put together a list of remaining tasks (in BuddyPress) for this area. Hopefully that will get done and put on our Trac or bedevel blog.
Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Wikiasi 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
`<?php
get_header();
global $woo_options;
?>
<?php
get_template_part( ‘includes/advanced-search-form’ );
get_template_part( ‘includes/filter-bar’ );
?>
<!–
google_ad_client = “ca-pub-0044915326038182”;
/* Leader board 728 x 90 */
google_ad_slot = “6866417018”;
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//–>
<article >
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to `
the Respecitve BP page Titles
` and move it above `
`, just watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.
Save files.
Sorry- that must drive you guys crazy…
My site is indieconnect.com. It is running WP 3.3.1, Atahualpa Theme 3.7.3, and Buddy Press 1.5.5. I just got BuddyPress installed and went through the BP Template pack. (I modified the files listed in Step 3 by swapping out the “get header” code – this was recommended by the Theme’s support forum.) At this point, the left sidebar was on the left where it should be but it also showed up below the middle column on buddypress pages. I found a post here that suggested putting up a blank page (sidebar-buddypress.php) in the theme directory and that fixed the repeating sidebar. The footer on buddypress pages is showing up in the left column. The right column is missing.
There is code hanging out on the page. It is from something else. I hope this gives you the info you need to help.
Woothemes.com Support Forum & it’s not like the themes are ten bucks… They’ve actually been really crappy.

Without sight of the theme and it’s code most of would be guessing in the dark, unless we had specific experience of this particular theme.
This support forum is really geared to support for BP and it’s default theme, if this child theme has support that ought to be the first place to ask about customising it, if it doesn’t then you will need to provide a bit more info on the theme and / or a link to your site and someone may help you modify it.
FOUND IT !!! (blush) I thought I’d searched everywhere, but as soon as I posted this and went back to continue hunting around for it, lo and behold, there it is.
Sorry.
Hi,
Yes, the user is member of the group, infact the owner of the group.
Privacy level is set as below
“
This is a private group•Only users who request membership and are accepted can join the group.
•This group will be listed in the groups directory and in search results.
•Group content and activity will only be visible to members of the group.
“
For public goups, it works fine.
The version of WP is 3.3.1 and 1.5.5 of BP.
Applied theme is BuddyPress Default 1.5.5
The defaul wordpress installation/theme is Tachyon 1.1 by RocketTheme, LLC
Yes, I can reproduce the issue with all plugins disabled.
Thanks
You don’t need to put the shortcode in the page template. Read https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/2/ again, and look at the screenshot with showing the “bbPress Settings” page.
You’ll need to change the “Archive Slugs – Forums base” from “forums” to something else. The WordPress page called “forums” (which BuddyPress uses for the Forums Directory) is stomping over bbPress’ attempt to claim the “forums” URL).
Is the user a member of the group where you are trying to create the topic?
What is the privacy level of the group in question?
What versions of WP/BP? What theme? What other plugins? Are you able to reproduce this error with all plugins but BP disabled, using the bp-default theme?
@boonebgorges Works perfectly – thanks very much!
Thanks for the link. I followed the instructions, but when I clicked on the “Install Site Wide Forums” it said the forum was already installed. From some other posts it looks like the site wide forums is just an install using the bbPress plugin so I went ahead and installed and activated the plugin. I then created a Forums page and inserted the shortcode [bbp-forum-index].
To my disappointment this did not work, but then I switched themes and it was working. It looks like the BuddyPress Default 1.5.5 theme does not work with the bbPress plugin for site wide, but works quite well for group forums. Site wide forums work using bbPress (Twenty Ten) 1.2 theme.
Is there anything I can do to make the the BuddyPress Default 1.5.5 theme or any other theme that does not display bbPress site wide forums to work? I have tried 3 different BuddyPress themes and none of them display site wide forums. They just display the page name.
Thanks for the reply,
Rhek
Hey @djpaul,
Yea I am pretty fluent in PHP. I’m not awesome with WP filters but I can usually figure stuff out.
I don’t think the .mo route would allow me to change the structure of the actual code being spit out, so i don’t know that that would really work. What I am looking to have displayed is literally the exact wording and layout that i have in my previous posts. those weren’t just shortened for the sake of space here in the forums. That’s actually what I would like displayed to the user. super short and super simple.
It’s most probably caused by the hack which should be taken seriously. If you prefer, get a second opinion by posting at the WP forums and ask if you’ve been hacked https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting Know that I prefer to be wrong about the hack, but it’s there.
