@idanny08 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 wisdom of life theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your 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 the code from http://pastebin.com/pTiuAruq

Save file.

B. CREATE A NEW BLANK FILE named sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up the blank sidebar-buddypress.php file and add the code from http://pastebin.com/1FyKJ5eK

Save file.

C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/wisdom-of-life/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are

D. 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.

Final note: not sure whether the breadcrumbs or theme options will work in the BP pages.

@dreamlarp BP Docs shouldn’t affect the forums at all. If you change to bp-default theme, can you see your posts.

It’s hard to tell really without a link as sounds very like this could be due to your theme. If you can provide a link that would be great. Alternatively, could you try the default BuddyPress theme and see if it happens there? I understand on a live community this may not be possible.

If it’s not theme related it could be some plugin / something adding CSS / scripting and clashing. I’d therefore you look at if you can striping back plugins to try and find the culprit. It does sound this is the less likely thing though and it’s something in your theme.

Are you using some redirect in your theme or a plugin?

I would suggest you start by only trying to get WordPress working (no plugins or custom themes). Once you have custom permalinks working, then move on to BuddyPress and bbPress.

If it doesn’t work in WordPress, I would suggest asking for help / searching for help on the WordPress.org forums as people will have found themselves with this problem before.

BP mobile does not affect the WordPress admin. At least it shouldn’t. The theme error is not that important, it’s just a notice and does not affect BuddyPress. You can install the BuddyPress Extended Settings plugin that has a setting to stop that theme notice.

I’m a little confused by your post. Are you saying when you are in the WordPress admin on a mobile device the option to add a featured image is missing from the Add new post page?

Does this occur when using the bp-default theme as the desktop theme?
Are you using another plugins that could cause this?

What theme are you using? Is it a child theme of BP Default (or BP Default)?

What you are asking for sounds beyond what I would expect a theme to do. However, this forum really isn’t the best place to ask I would point you to ask the theme developers. I do know this may not be what you want to hear but truly they will be the ones that know their product the best, not those of us on this forum. I hope you have success contacting them and get a theme that works for you.

When you say tweak it all depends on what you want to do as a lot you can simply do using CSS which means no needs to dive into the actual templates. I’d recommend a tool like Firebug http://getfirebug.com/ or Inspector depending on what browser you use. Using that you can view your page and inspect each element adjusting the CSS live and see the results.

Now, if you do want to dive deeper into templates it all depends on your theme. What should happen is your theme would be a child of BP Default ‘or’ use the template pack – I don’t know what theme you are using so don’t know what is the case. Some premium themes do bundle the files for BuddyPress (and often BBPress) in with the theme. Depending on your theme does also depend on where the BBPress template files may be. It could be it’s using default styling, it could be it has called it’s own – in this case the files would be in your theme folder. Ideally it should do the later if using customisation.

If you just end up doing CSS you can override in your themes CSS.

I would encourage you if you can to link in your site as it’s not the best way to view an image and diagnose CSS (or suggest if just can be CSS). Also stating what you want beyond you don’t like look – most things can be done in CSS but you may want more structural and for that it would be wrong to just suggest CSS.

How are you setting your logo? Which theme are you using? Can you share a link to your website?

Moderators are BP experts, and help by sharing their knowledge. They don’t have any control over how the site works. For example, I don’t have access to change the theme on the site, etc. The site is hosted by Automattic.

That said, the core team (John, Boone, and myself) are meeting at WordCamp San Francisco in a couple of weeks — and spending a few hours working together on bporg might be something we do.

BuddyPress uses loops like regular WordPress, so you need to update your theme or functions.php to give you this functionality.

I know this isn’t a solution, but hopefully it gets you going down the right path.

Site looks normal to me. Browser glitch? Try another browser and report back

That sort of problem is typically caused by a plugin clash.

Have you definitely tried with all plugins (except BuddyPress) removed, and using the bp-default theme, and nothing being loaded in your bp-custom.php file?

Try clearing all your browser caches as well, and restarting the browser. Also do you have the problem in other browsers (Firefox, Chrome, etc.)?

or simply declare the function ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles()’ in your functions file which will stop BP loading it’s version then re-declare the stylesheets pointing back up to bp excluding responsive which you can keep locally.

Not sure why you don’t just de-register the file then and re-enqueue it in your child theme then you can edit as you like?

To personalise the admin bar I use something like this (bp version 1.5.7)
