Strange. The next step after that is choosing a theme https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/

Go to Appearance > Themes and if this is a new installation, recommend using bp-default theme to check is site is in working order..

Go to dashboard menu Settings > BuddyPress and go through each panel and save settings.

B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`

`

with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`

`

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();
});
});

`

Save files.

C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/bold/

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.

Notes:
1. Not sure whether Yoast Breadcrumb will work in this scenario for the internal component pages
2. As long you don’t change sidebars in your theme’s option page, this will do. If you are going to make sidebar changes, you would need to copy footer.php and save it as footer-buddypress.php and remove the code to call/change sidebar to protect the layout of your BP pages.

@hamzahali You need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your bold theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your bold 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.

Hello Mercime!
I apologize for the miss of information WP version is 3.2.1. I have not upgraded to the most recent version because NONE of my plugins are compatible with that version yet. This seems to be a recent issue, either that or no one has noticed it before.
BP version 1.5.5
bbPress 2.0.2
BuddyPress Activity Plus 1.4

not upgrade any plugin

I am using the default theme My site is visited by hundred of users and I’m scared to switch the theme when others can see it switching back and forth. Also, I’m scared of switching it and not being able to get it back…..

and i also change permalink.php u describe in this thread but no result !!
any idea ?????

thanks again for responding!!!!

what should i do next ?????

== But as soon as i activate BP and select the BP default theme, only the admin can create a new site. ==

After you activated BP, did you double-check if blog creation was suddenly unchecked in the Network Admin and you need to enable it again?

@websitevala The code provided here is custom to the theme used. Please start a new topic of your own where you should provide more information about your installation.

From what version did you upgrade? There’s nothing in the upgrade that would delete the activities. What theme are you using? If you change to bp-default theme, do you see your activities? Are your plugins (esp. BP ones) updated for BP 1.6?

@benzine You’re welcome.

== if I want to get rid of the sidebar, other than modifying my css for sidebar ==

Two parts in removing sidebar in templates where you want full-width

A. Near top of file, remove the line
`<?php if (get_option_tree('blog_layout_sidebar', '')) { echo '

Is there any message shown on screen or in error logs when you attempt to activate?

Were you ever able to activate a user on your install before now?

Are you using the bp-default theme?

It might also be worth setting up a completely new and clean WP/BP install in the same hosting environment to troubleshoot.

@dasteralo2 First, deactivate BuddyPress. you’ve got to make sure that your WP multisite installation is working before activating BP. Now create a new blog w/o BP and see if your new blog has been created.
– If no subsite is created, then resolve the multisite issue first at the multisite forum https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
– If a subsite is created, then activate BuddyPress, go through the Installation Wizard and choose BP Default theme for the meantime, and create a new blog.

Okay gotcha! Put this in your child themes functions.php after the opening php tag :

if (!current_user_can(‘manage_options’)) {
add_filter(‘show_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’);
}

function stp_no_admin_access()
{
if( !current_user_can( ‘administrator’ ) ) {
wp_redirect( home_url() );
die();
}
}
add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘stp_no_admin_access’, 1 );

`

`

with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`

<?php if (get_option_tree('blog_layout_sidebar', '')) {} else {echo '

`

with the following for registration/register.php:
`

<?php if (get_option_tree('blog_layout_sidebar', '')) {} else {echo '

‘;}?>

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 files.

C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/Paediatric/

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.

Final note: not sure whether the options re sidebar locations will work in BP template files with your theme. Some themes have options that work, some themes not at all. Make the top and bottom revisions with /members/index.php to start and see how that works out first.

@michaelgossling

– After you activated BuddyPress, did you go through the Installation Wizard? https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/

– After you activated the BP Template Pack plugin, did you go through the process via dashboard menu > Appearance > BP Compatibility and finish Step 3 (match HTML structure of theme with BP templates)?

Place this in your childthemes functions.php just after the opening php tag:

//Removes BuddyBar from non-admins only
if (!current_user_can(‘manage_options’)){
define ( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );

@helllllpmeplease I can see the activity comments in the two page links you posted in IE8, then when I removed styles on the pages in FF15 the unstyled posts are there. This means that something’s gone awry with the BP compatibility process.

Download permalink.php from your server wp-content/themes/clearline/members/single/activity/permalink.php to your computer hard drive. Open it up with a text editor like Notepad and delete everthing within. Copy the following and paste it to your permalink.php file
`

`

Save permalink.php and upload to wp-content/themes/clearline/members/single/activity/ folder. Clear cache and check it out.
