I’m using WP 3.4.2 and BP 1.6.1. I think they are the latest versions.
It’s a single site.
I’m hosted at Bluehost.
I started the website by downloading WordPress then immediately downloading Buddypress.
I have deactivated all other plugins except Buddypress and bbpress, and yes, I went back to the default theme.
My registration page has been giving me problems. At first it was a blank page but I figured out how to get the registration to at least show up (the blank page was from conflicting plugins). Now I can fill in all of my information on the registration page but when I press “complete sign up,” it refreshes the page back to the registration page with all of my info still filled in except my password. No account is created. No email is sent.
I have registration enabled and have tried registering as not just a “member” but some of the other ones. I have tried different themes, deactivating all of the plugins, and trying to find someone who knows what is wrong. I’m new to buddypress so I’m not sure what to really do.
@trsabuis help us help you. Do provide more information about your installation. To begin with:
– WP/BP versions?
– Single/Multisite?
– Where are you hosted? Windows/Linux/etc server?
– Is this a new installation or did you add BuddyPress to an existing WP install?
– Have you changed to bp-default theme and deactivated all other plugins except BuddyPress?
– What exactly is the error in your installation? At what point did the error show up?
– What are the steps you’ve taken so far to troubleshoot the issue in your install?
In BP 1.7, BuddyPress looks for the following files in your theme’s folder to determine which page BP uses for the skeleton:
`’plugin-buddypress.php’
‘buddypress.php’
‘community.php’
‘generic.php’
‘page.php’
‘single.php’
‘index.php’`
If you need to do a conditional based on a specific BP page component, there’s a filter in `bp_get_query_template()` to override it. Note: I haven’t tested this yet.
You could also use BP page conditionals with template parts within one of the templates listed above. That’s probably the easiest way without having to use filters.

Thanks @mercime
There are a total of 6 ‘content’ files in the theme, below is the content-page.php and also the content.php just in case it turns out you’ll need that, too.
The other 4 are titled ‘content-aside.php’, ‘content-attachment.php’, ‘content-gallery.php’ and ‘content-single.php. Let me know if you need any of those.
Here’s the two I mentioned above…

Many thanks,

Good point. Looks like a good trac ticket to post 
In the example you posted above, however, this can already be accomplished if you have a page.php which includes a sidebar by default. When you edit the Group Directory page and choose the Full Width template, the directory page is rendered in full page. The single group pages take on the HTML structure of the theme’s default page.php which has a sidebar.
If however, you want all the BP templates to have full-width layouts for example, and have a default page.php with a sidebar, then that will be problematic …. unless you copy over the BP templates in your theme and add “, “ and “ which could include conditional statements and a different HTML structure surrounding the BP components. Of course this is theoretical since I haven’t tested it yet
EDIT – I see you’ve posted it in trac already https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3741#comment:55
== ACTIVATE page and it now shows up in the PULL DOWN but does nothing? ==
This is the page where members land with auto-generated content for that specific member after they click on activation email code which is sent to theme after they register.
So on it’s own, just going to yoursite.com/activate/ you’re not expected to see anything at all on that page.
Haven’t seen this issue before. Change to bp-default theme and check if issue is resolved.
@emaerchen not sure if the theme has been released. Best way to contact @travel-junkie about JobBoardr is via http://shabushabu.eu/
@ronnie_fantastic please post the code for your theme’s content-page.php file. Initial scan shows that you might only need to create 2 files for compatibility process, but I need to see content-page.php
Hi @mercime
Twas not flattery! I was simply observing your legendary status on these here forums. 
I also did not expect any guarantee of compatibility with Artisteer themes, so it’s perfectly cool if this is too much of a pain to figure out, or if it simply can’t be done.
If the two can’t work together, then I will try and adapt a theme that is compatible to look like the theme I created with Artisteer.
As you requested though, here are the codes you requested. Header and footer seems straightforward…
Header.php: http://pastebin.com/5QjaczaG
Footer.php: http://pastebin.com/jcHeRhms
Sidebar… looks like it could be a real pain… there’s 5 code pages for the sidebar????
sidebar-top.php: http://pastebin.com/JbghaYq6
sidebar-bottom.php: http://pastebin.com/3bB7kTjf
sidebar-footer.php: http://pastebin.com/6QtsLHmg
sidebar-default.php: http://pastebin.com/899BRFgc
sidebar-secondary.php: http://pastebin.com/0NMSe6mp
As I’ve observed… you do an awful lot to help folks out with code fixes round here. If this one is too much of a headache because it’s been done with Artisteer… just say so and I’ll figure out another way to do it.
Many Thanks.
Ronnie.
@raminjan : Whilst a little bit older: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/how-to-display-specific-users-avatar/ has some useful stuff in it. It all depends on if you want to customise the theme or you do want to go the plugin route. If you want uploading and other functionality you’re going to have to go plugin. If you just want to show the existing profile image (which probably is more sensible) then you could output anywhere you want.
ok, tried to go from buddypress 1.2.6 to 1.5 on a WP 3.0.1 site
and got the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function show_admin_bar() in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-buddybar.php on line 585
restoring the site from a backup now.
i had all of the plugins inactivated.
how do you suggest i proceed — the site is using the default BP theme.
best,
dainis
Instruction posted at http://wp.me/p1I84P-1g
@i-cash different instructions for different themes for Step 3 of the BP compatibility process. You can’t use the codes for WP Church given in the link you posted for your theme because it has a different HTML structure.
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`
`
with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`
<?php
lambda_after_content();
if(empty($columns))
get_sidebar();
get_footer();
?>`
with the following for registration/register.php:
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
<?php
lambda_after_content();
if(empty($columns))
get_sidebar();
get_footer();
?>`
Save files.
C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/nevada/
D. Copy the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste to your theme’s stylesheet. Adjust to taste.
@elmindo Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your nevada theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your nevada theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /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 the following:
`<?php
global $lambda_meta_data;
$meta_sidebar = $lambda_meta_data->get_the_value(‘sidebar’);
$meta_sidebar = (!empty( $meta_sidebar )) ? $meta_sidebar : get_option_tree( ‘select_sidebar’ );
get_header();
get_template_part( ‘template-part’, ‘slider’ );
get_template_part( ‘template-part’, ‘teaser’ );
if($meta_sidebar != UT_THEME_INITIAL.’sidebar_none’) {
lambda_before_content($columns=”);
} elseif($meta_sidebar == UT_THEME_INITIAL.’sidebar_none’) {
lambda_before_content($columns=’sixteen’);
}
?>
<section id="post-” >
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to `
// Respective Page Titles //
` where applicable, then move this to above `
` Just watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.
Save files.
What happens when you use the default BuddyPress theme? Do you get an error message or none?
It all depends on ‘where’ you want the link. Are you looking to have in the themes a link back somehow or a consistent link back in sidebars?
thank you for your answer @modemlooper,
you know just after any page has been loaded, by clicking ‘view source’ anybody can see the source. In between tags source there things like:
link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’plugin-css’ href=’http://website.com/wp-content/plugins/nameplugin/style.min.css?ver=3.0.2′ type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />
link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’wp-plugin-css’ href=’http://website.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-plugin/plugin-name-css.css?ver=2.70′ type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />
script type=’text/javascript’ src=’https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js?ver=3.4.2′>
script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://website.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/js/widget-members.js?ver=1.6.1′>
script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://website.com/wp-content/themes/js/buddypress.js?ver=3.4.2′>
bla bla bla…
So anybody can easily know what plugins are you using in your site. I’d like to know if there is anyway to prevent visitors to know that the site is developed with such plugins?. I mean, I want those source code were hidden or encrypted and they only to recognize the site as just a PHP site. It’s obvious anybody can view the source of a site using their browser. But some sites I have seen, even by viewing the source code, it’s not possible to find out whether it’s a wordpress site or not.
thanks.
BuddyPress Version 1.6.1
Wordpress version 3.4.2
I am using the default Buddypress theme. I did checkout the link you provided and it looks like I installed everything ok.
Creating a child theme and forking an existing plugin seem like a lot of extra work. What was wrong with contributing a patch upstream to one of the other follower plugins?
Both pages look like they work; it’s just that the group template needs to be reformatted to gel with your theme.
Off the top of my end, I think the template file in question is:
`/wp-content/YOUR-THEME/groups/single/plugins.php`
Mirror the changes that are in:
`/wp-content/YOUR-THEME/groups/single/home.php`
Did you change to bp-default theme to check if the same issue crops up when you set registration as home page?
WP/BP versions? Multisite or single WP? Are you using BP default theme or custom theme? Did you check out https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
Have checked and multichecked wp.config, have checked htaccess, have totally replaced all wp-include and wp-admin files and root folder php files to original, have set folder permissions up to 777 on wp.content and set to recurse, have tried every theme, including default BP…. avatars go blocky after a while, and when you try to upload any avatar via BP Change Avatar, it uploads fine but then shows a block size of about 80 pixels by 80 pixels of the image uploaded’s top left hand corner only..
Any ideas on ending this nightmare… and no not gravatar. Also I found that when i upload via admin dashboard using say plugin like Local Avatar, it works fine… Yep, removed just about all plugins, including Quick Cache… totally lost on this
