Oh, the functions code has nothing to do with actually creating a sidebar in your theme. You would have to add HTML and CSS. The function code is for WordPress to know where to place widgets.
@mercime With deafult plugins,buddypress and bp-default theme, cropping works…
I loaded everything back but loaded original buddypress plugin and everything looks OK.. i guess i will have to translate it again.. thnx anyway
@leon89 back up the theme and plugins you were translating and upload the original theme and plugins. Activate bp-default theme, then check if issue is resolved.
== When clicking on your photo on main buddypress home page it doesnt do anything besides direct you back to the page your already at ==
It’s probably the theme you’re using. BP Default theme image avatar links by default to member’s Activity > Personal page
== it worked just switching from the game portal theme to the defalt and back. ==
Cool. All’s well that ends well 
@pkmcilroy there are AJAX/JS conflicts with BP and Canvas Theme https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/woo-canvas-child-theme-customization-and-ajax/ Near the end of the topic, someone posted a link to a premium Canvas child theme which has BP compatibility. I will only suggest that if you’re going to purchase that child theme, wait till it’s been updated for BP 1.6 which will be coming out pretty soon.
You’re welcome. Thanks for getting back and confirming the breadcrumb issue.
The Custom Community theme is a BuddyPress theme; you’ll still need to install the BuddyPress plugin though.
Follow the BuddyPress installation guide:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/
Once you have BuddyPress setup, install the Custom Community theme.
Also, try asking the Custom Community support team for help as well:

Hi, @streidl you just have to change the order of appearance of some elements, in concrete:
`
`
And all of it’s contents should go before:

I am building a fresh BuddyPress site and am still at the testing phase. I have the luxury of blowing it out and starting all over. I have tried probably 20+ combinations of BuddyPress 1.5.6, BuddyPress 1.6 RC-1, “BuddyPress Ready” themes, standard themes + template pack, bbPress lite set up via BP install as group forums, bbPress 2.1 set up as sitewide forums during the BuddyPress install, and bbPress 2.1 set up as BP group forums but not through the BP setup.. Whew… This makes my head hurt
My current, and I hope final combination:
WordPress 3.4.1
BuddyPress 1.6 RC-1
Genesis Framework + BuddyPress Theme Pack *
bbPress 2.1 Installed after the BuddyPress Install and set up to support BP group forums
*(I tried their GenesisConnect plugin, but get closer to right by using the BuddyPress Theme Pack
All is well except I need the group forums to go full width (no sidebar). If I could tweak some code and make the sidebar for group forums go away I would be a happy camper.
Thanks in advance for any help on this!

Awesome @aces…I think we are getting closer…Do you know where I insert <img src="http://my.BuddyPress_site.com/wp-content/themes/my-theme/images/mystery-man.jpg" /> ?
Do I place it all by itself in my functions.php file? If I do (being a PHP coder) I know a stray html tag will show that image on every page. I need to somehow wrap it around a do_action() or and add-action() or an add-filter() or an add_filters() — I believe, as I learn more about hooking in WordPress/BuddyPress.
Thanks for guiding me on what to most out there is such a simple replacement to the out-of-the-box Mystery Man image graphic.
I am having the same issue with the sidebar appearing in the footer in the Canvas theme. How can I get it into the correct place please
@mercime tyvm. it worked just switching from the game portal theme to the defalt and back. It does look like I will have to make updates in the defalt first then switch back.
You’re trying to do this in a file in theme/members… ?
Try this:
`
if ( bp_displayed_user_id() == 28 ) {
?>
Content only to display on member/user ID 28’s profile page.
<?php
}
`
btw
-bp_is_user_profile() does not accept variables, it just checks to see if the viewer is on a profile page and returns a boolean.
– add_action doesn’t work like that – read https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_action
@aces. I am looking through your response. Where do I define the location of my Mystery Man graphic inside your code solution?
I have it located at `../wp-content/themes/my-theme/images/mystery-man.jpg`
@dreamlarp basic troubleshooting is changing to bp-default theme. I suggest that you double-check that all the BP components are in working order using bp-default theme before installing/activating a third-party theme.
Could also be a plugin issue, one that has not been updated for latest BP version. There are a variety of factors which could trip up a smooth installation. First thing is change to bp-default theme and work from there.
I am using Swatch.
I apologise, I put the wrong file names in this post, but the files are indeed named correctly on the server,.
@12sp This is an issue you should bring to your theme developer’s forums. As far as I know, if you’re using Suffusion theme with BuddyPress, you also need to install a plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/suffusion-buddypress-pack/
BP/WP versions? What theme are you using?
@mercime thank you for your time. everything it’s working fine. breadcrumbs are not working and I removed it.
Found it. Modified ../bp-themes/bp-default/members/index.php (after copying it to my custom themes directory).
@mercime
Ok so you think its the theme im using? the game portal?
1. What Woo theme are you using? We have compiled a list of “template-packed” themes near bottom of https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
2. correct naming for the files needed for 2nd option of theme compatibility
buddypress-header.php should be header-buddypress.php
and
buddypress-sidebar.php should be sidebar-buddypress.php
Otherwise your changes will be implemented at all.
, hope it helps, cheers
