It is WordPress 3.3.2 multisite installed in the root directory. We have a custom theme but based on bp-default without many modifications, certainly not any to the mail functionality except we had tried the Welcome Pack plugin but the activation link did not appear in that email either. This problem has occurred even without any other plugins running but BuddyPress.

It seems to be a variable that should be created called $activate_url in /bp-core/bp_core_filters.php . Is there a way to add a filter there or somehow create another email to take precedence over this one?

We’d like to keep email activation but if it doesn’t work we will have to manually re-send emails or disable it? Both seem like bad solutions, such a basic feature should be working without any tweaks to the system.

If you have a bp-default child theme, copy group-header.php file.into your child theme folder as in wp-content/themes/yourchildtheme/groups/single/group-header.php
then delete lines 11-15 of said file. If you also want to delete Group Mods, then delete lines 7-30

== ‘cancel friendship’ & ‘private message’ buttons overlap each other ==

1. If you want volunteers to actually check out the issue, please provide test user username and password which you can delete later.

2. What happened to the ‘public message’ button which in bp-default theme shows up between ‘cancel friendship’ and ‘private message’ buttons?

3. In all probability, you would just need to add styles in your theme’s style.css file. something like:
`#item-buttons a { margin-right: 15px; }`
The above will work in bp-default theme. No guarantees this will work on your theme.

Could most probably be a theme issue. Change to bp-default and see if issue is corrected. If it is, contact theme authors.

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/enews/

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.

@pgrinnell Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your enews theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

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

It means that you only need to create two files and upload it to your Quik Gallery theme folder in server wp-content/themes/quik-gallery/

Open up your header.php file, copy all, paste all in pastebin.com, click submit, then post the generated pastebin.com URI here. Do the the same for your quick theme’s page.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php

In the first instance you really should try and get support and help from the themes own support forums http://aquoid.com/forum/

@pgrinnell different strokes for different themes. Your theme requires changing 16 BP template files for Step 3 of the compatibility process, not adding only 2 files.

If you still want to proceed, then open up your theme’s header.php, copy all, paste all at pastebin.com, click submit, and post the generated pastebin.com URI here. Do the same with your theme’s page.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php

You haven’t complete Step 3 of the compatibility process — to align HTML structure of BP template files with your theme’s HTML structure. Based on initial scan of source code, you only need to create 2 files to make your template files compatible.

Open up your theme’s header.php, copy all, paste all at pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php
Also either site URI or URI of theme demo

The raw solution:
Go to bp-friends/bp-friends-template.php and comment the whole case “is_friend” between line 329 and 344.

The better solution:
rewrite the function bp_get_add_friend_button who contains the switch given in the above solution and put it in your child theme’s function file.

which makes it look unprofessional

Really? considering BP is developed by professional web developers that’s a sightly surprising statement to be making.

The titles you refer to on pages such as ‘Forums’, ‘Groups’, ‘Activity’ are heading tags, h# tags are a semantic tag that defines the document outline there are six levels and you use them to assign document section headings, these tags are mandatory and it’s very unprofessional not to have them so take care in removing them and also remember that search engines look for and use these tags for index information.

If you are removing these tags then you need to locate these sorts of lines in your index files `

` and simply delete them, this is basic level stuff so as an IT literate person should be within your means as it’s simple editing of text files but it is going to help you enormously to learn some absolute basics where CSS and HTML are concerned.

Lastly you are going to need to make these changes in a child theme otherwise whenever you upgrade your changes will be overwritten, a clear step by step guide to setting up a child theme can be found in the BP codex.

99% of the time, each theme has a unique resolution for Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process. So no, the different codes we posted in https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/ for different WP themes.

Initial scan shows that for your theme, you only need to create two files to make the layout compatible.

Add the following at the bottom of your theme’s style.css file
`table.forum { margin: 0 !important; }
.padder div.pagination { margin: -20px 0 0 !important; }
div.item-list-tabs { margin: 25px 0 20px !important; }
div#subnav.item-list-tabs { margin: -15px 0 15px !important; }`

Recommend using Firebug, the Firefox add-on, to identify which elements need to be styled or revised.

sp12, you should be using the Sufusion BuddyPress Pack plugin with the Suffusion theme rather than the BP Template Pack https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/suffusion-buddypress-pack/

You need to make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress by installing the “BP Template Pack” plugin then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility.
