Following link shows you the steps of the BP template pack – compatibility process. Near the bottom of the link, you’ll find the list of WP theme’s we’ve “template-packed” so far. Check if your WP theme is listed there. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Have you registered the buttons in your theme?

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L125

`add_action( ‘bp_group_header_actions’, ‘bp_group_join_button’, 5 );`

Can you clarify which files you mean when you say “the settings folder from the core BP files”? Do you mean the following:

`buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/settings/`

If so, these files *should* be getting copied over at the same time that the entire `members` directory is copied, during the BP Template Pack setup process. It could be that there is a bug in that plugin causing the problem.

The question would be how does this behaviour stack up against bp-defaults behaviour answer that and you answer the question as to whether it’s an issue with this theme. To be honest it’s really a question that should have been answered one way or another by Brajesh? You say you asked him but neglect to say what his response was!

Wouldn’t cost you that much although depends on the beautification that your required, however seeing as mercime will fix things for free, please consider a small donation to a worthwhile charity

@neodjandre Open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all, paste in pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Then do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files.

Set which blog ID BuddyPress will run on if not on main site – add following to your bp-custom.php file:
`define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id );`
where you replace $blog_id with the blog ID number of subdomain/subdirectory site of your multisite installation – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

As for themes – you can use a WordPress theme then install the BP Template Pack plugin and go through the BP Compatiblity process. Check if your WP theme has been “template-packed” in the list near bottom of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Plugins? Always the first response has to be disable all plugins, if using a custom theme revert to bp-default then test again to see if the issue persists.

If you’re running any caching plugins definitely disable those – and preferably don’t re-enable them.

ou still have those duplicate ID’s they are not really acceptable in fact they may well cause issues as ID’s must be unique to a page – it’s not a flexible rule.

Look at those two pages ‘group directory index’ and ‘single group display’ you are missing a fundamental class that gets added to the body tag ‘.right_sidebar’ without that class present your sidebar does not have the required ruleset applied.

You will need to work out how your theme ‘framework’? applies that class for a given view and ensure it’s applied in respect of your groups single view pages (and any others )

pls provide more info about your install – current wp/bp versions? what theme used? multisite? bp multinetwork? do you have stealth mode plugin or bp ninja plugin activated or membership plugin activated?

@djwinner Yes, you should hit up the theme author. You paid for a theme that’s supposed to be compatible with BP 1.5.5 per documentation, you deserve a theme which have all parts working.

@neodjandre at first glance, it looks like the layout you have for the groups directory page you linked to above is the default layout you get right after BP compatibility … except that the member’s profile page has the sidebar below the content. The only hitch with that layout is that you have duplicate div#content in the HTML (one from your theme and the other from the BP template file) but that’s livable. Or did you already tweak the layout of the group directory page?

If you have a child theme of bp-default theme, the simple way would be to copy over:

a) https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/create.php
to wp-content/themes/YourChildThemeFolder/groups/create.php
– above line 90 per linked file add “
– below line 106 per linked file add “

b) https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/admin.php
to wp-content/themes/YourChildThemeFolder/groups/single/admin.php
– above line 69 per linked file add “
– below line 87 per linked file add “

Note that if you as Site/Super Admin don’t even want to create a hidden or private group yourself, then delete lines 90-106 from create.php and delete lines 69-87 from admin.php

Open up your custom BP theme’s /activity/entry.php file, copy all, post to pastebin.com and paste the generated pastebin.com url here. I want to see if it’s the same issue as the other theme I saw. If not, then it’s up to the theme author to resolve this.
