@nstjwz your pastebin.com post for page.php is only:
`
`
Missing codes …

What version did you upgrade from?

That’s customized bbPress forums which would require you to copy over and modify bbPress template files and tweak some styles. Check out https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

@raetona at this point, you’d have to make a decision about which page layout you want to have for all your BP template files as the sidebar options might not work in those templates. Hover over link “Page” in top navigation of http://labs.saurabh-sharma.net/themes/volt/wp/ where you see left and right sidebar plus other option. I would suggest choosing the layout where there’s more horizontal space for the BP templates …

You’re welcome. Thanks for posting back with the results

There are themes which disable core WP or BP widgets to replace it with their own. I’ve done it myself for custom themes. Have you checked out in theme’s forums or contacted theme author about this issue?

B. COPY your sidebar.php file and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php file and at the very TOP of the file, 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/sahifa/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are

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.

@chopard Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you will only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to make the BP templates compatible with your theme.

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your sahifa theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your sahifa 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:
`

@nstjwz we also need the sidebar.php and page.php files in pastebin.com so we can proceed with this.

@bibliata It could be a template problem because it might need to be upgraded for compatibility with BP 1.6+. Have you checked out theme author’s forums if others are having the same issue?

On the other hand, could also be the widgets/plugin. What widgets are you trying to add to static front page? Are these default WP or BP widgets or widgets by other plugins?

Theme compatibility will work from the site’s current theme. So each users’ blog would be the base for theme compat.

for what it’s work sign up works under these conditions:

1. Standard theme, no plug ins, email from hotmail account

But not under these:

2. Preferred theme [Whitelight BuddyPress child from LabZip – which otherwise works fine], plugins on, GMX.com account.

I suspect the GMX account as an unusual kind of redirect appears to happen.

Once I get my other problem fixed I’ll try the preferred theme with GMX and see what happens.

I am just learning MultiSite WordPress myself. So far I’ve learned that if I want to edit Templates or Plugins pages for another site, I first have to activate the Theme I want to make changes to as my first level site, the Admin Site, or Edit the Plugin via the Admin site. Then, I go under the Main/Admin Site and edit the Templates or Plugin. After I have everything looking good, then I activate the Theme or Plugin for the actual site where I want to use the Template or Plugin. One must use this method (based on my learning) if one wants to use an external Editor, such as Dreamweaver.

I did notice that the access to the Activity, Sites, Forums, et al only show up in WordPress’s Tool Bar (the dark gray bar at the top of the page) under my Profile Link on the far right, when I am Logged In. I think this part is not clear in the directions, imo. After the initial install of BuddyPress MultiSite, I was able to see a couple of the BuddyPress pages links in the Main Menu of my top Site only after I am logged in.

Since I know I want to edit my Theme for one of the Sites, I have not enabled the separate tables for the additional site. I am going to edit the Theme first and then enable the other sites using the method described at this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/using-multisite-with-buddypress/segregated-x-profile-fields-for-multisite/ .

1.7’s still in development, and as you found out, has its fair share of bugs. The theme compatibility parts still need a lot of work before it’s fully compatible with every theme.

Is there anything we need to be aware of? You say the sidebars have gone. Is the sidebars included in your theme’s page.php template?

Does it have to be a profile field?
Or could it just be displayed on the profile page?

If you need to save the info into a custom profile field, it’s a little more work.

Either way – use the same process you used for your bp_album ‘system’.

Start by looking thru
/plugins/buddypress/bp-members
and
/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile

for hooks and filters and use them in profile theme files.

@chopard where’s the code for page.php file?
Initial scan shows that you might just need to create two files for compatibility, but we need to confirm it first.

I’m having the same problem [can’t create a new topic get the error message: error message: ”This group does not have a forum setup yet” with a much simpler and more up to date set up. BP1.6.1. 4 groups. Have disabled all plugins but BuddyPress and bbPress and changed to default theme. Will post a new thread.

I have the same issue.
WP 3.4.2; BP 1.6.1; Whitelight Parent theme 1.2.7, Whitelight BP Child theme from lab zips. Tested on Chrome and FF.
Not using S2 Member.
