@hnla sounds like a good plan especially for topics posted from more than 6 months ago ago. We need a plugin to close forum topics automatically ala WPorg forums after a number of months/a year I think. Since group forums are moving over to bbPress plugin, then a plugin for a plugin 
In the meantime, I need exceptions for theme compatibilty topics where a few users have even volunteered improvements to styles, structure, etc. among others. Come BP 1.7 or so with theme compatibility set up, I will make sure to close those topics.
Their is no core supported way to customise it at this stage but their are tickets discussing the best method for it.
SEE: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2125
Their are plugins though that help create a new login page
eg. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-my-login/
Threaded comments (activity comments) is built into BuddyPress Default theme.
Threaded comments (blog comments) is built into WordPress.

First, I just noticed that the name next to my comments now show “Deleted User.” I don’t understand why I would be a deleted user when I only made an “accident” and didn’t post in two places on purpose. I am learning as I go along. Good grief.
I am using a NON-buddypress theme. I did install the BP Template pack and I did follow all of the noted instructions so that the files were carried over to my theme. Everything worked fine but the Settings tab – when clicked it “did nothing.” There are several discussions on here about take Settings Folder from the CORE BP files and copy it into the MEMBER FOLDER in the THEME folder. When I do that – the tab works however, the page is NOT formatted like the remainder of the Buddypress pages – it has NO FORMAT AT ALL.
Again, I apologize for posting in two areas. And hopefully I won’t have to post over here anymore if I get this resolved.
Thanks Mercime
That totally did the trick

@mercime lets start closing threads marked as resolved as I have been banging on about posting in others threads for two years – at least we can effectively turn some threads into read only.
@megart04 do start a new topic for your issue. Your issue is different than that of OP so do not add a link to your new topic here. Thanks.
@vus no problem. What I did was to simplify the code to the basics i.e., content with right sidebar. Updated code in this post.
Hi. I am having a similar problem with my right sidebar alignment except that it’s being caused by the Buddypress plugin Group CSS which I’d very much like to use. I am using the Custom Community Pro theme. If anyone can help please respond or email and I can start a new thread on this subject (if I do I will come back and link to it here!) Thanks!
@candy2012 go to https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/ or the forum home page for whatever group you are trying to post in. Click new, head to the bootom of the page and post!
@mercime worked like a charm. They should include you in the next avengers cast! Thanks a bunch.
Hi Mercime and other php gurus
I figure this is only a small tweak of the code, but I’m unable to fix it as I’m a NooB to wordpress and .php in particular. Do you have any idea about how to fix this issue?
Sorry to be pushy, I am just really anxious to lauch this buddypress feature to the site I’m building to my son and his like minded friends
Regards and thx in advance.
Vus
I can only speak for the bp-default theme:
– default blog pages == index.php https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/index.php
BP Corporate might just have a home.php page which trumps the index.php page per template hierarchy
– search results page == search.php https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/search.php
What theme are you using? If you’re using a WP theme and installed BP Template Pack, did you keep bp.css enabled? If you’ve created a child theme of bp-default, did you follow the directory structure from bp-defauit when you copied template files over to child theme to make the revisions?
WP/BP versions? Theme used? Did you deactivate plugins other than BuddyPress to see which one is making this happen in your installation?
B. Create a BLANK sidebar-buddypress.php
Open up the sidebar-buddypress.php file and add this
`
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 file.
C. Create a BLANK footer-buddypress.php file. That’s it. Keep this file blank.
D. Upload header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and footer-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/yserif/ at the same directory where your regular header.php and page.php files are in.
E. 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.
Note: There are many sidebars in the theme, but no need to paste them here.
@candy2012 peace be with you too
@niwaroll Per initial scan, you only need to create three new files, header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and footer-buddypress.php
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your yserif theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your yserif 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 this:
`
<div id="f9-container" class="”>
But I’m running BP v 1.5.4.
Speaking of which, I changed my theme to ‘BuddyPress Default 1.5.4’ (to match my BP version) and the problem was still there. Page errors on everything I tried to do in terms of interacting with the members page- next page results, sorting, searching, etc.
I’m a little reluctant to upgrade to 1.5.5- the upgrade to 1.5.4 changed enough things to set me back a week or 2 with features I had to account for, and how it affected plugins that were already working. Speaking of which, any updates on the bbpress integration beyond group forums? (ie have you guys had any luck with getting sitewide forums working yet?)
If necessary, I’ll do the upgrade, but hoping you understand my reservations.
WP v 3.3.1
BP v 1.5.4
The theme is bp-corporate, but those pages have to be using some template, but I’ll be darned if I can figure out what. 
Thanks
I am sorry Paul, I am new to this. Only submitted one other question prior to this. No matter what theme I select, the settings button will not execute. When I copy the Settings file into my theme folder under Members, then it works… however none of the CSS is there. All tabs work right, except the settings. I would think that we would leave all files in tact from the CORE and not have to move things around. I’ll wait for a reply.
Just might be of some help, though please note I am not a coder .
On a local site I have an image (2px by 162px) full width across a Buddypress Default Child theme.
I have a menu in the top 37px as I have disabled the bp admin bar.
the code i came up with is as follows.
`body {
background-color: #eaeaea;
background-image: url(images/headpixf.png );
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: top center;
color: #555;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif;
line-height: 170%;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: auto;
width: 100%;
}
#header {
background: transparent;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 10px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 10px;
-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
-khtml-border-radius-bottomleft: 10px;
-khtml-border-radius-bottomright: 10px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
color: #fff;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0px 5px transparent;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0px 5px transparent;
height: 37px;
padding-top: 25px;
position: relative;
z-index: 1000;
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto 90px;
}`
Good luck!
I’d love to know how did you manage to post here at all – this place gave me headackes …
When deactivating Buddypress > The BuddyPress Default Theme disappears and cannot be used. If choosing the theme I want to work with, whenever I solve this problem, it still doesn’t send me any activation email.
I have a similar problem: after installing buddypress: groups; forum; activities ;members come up. But at registration I get this error message: User registration is currently not allowed.
On the four tabs of Buddypress settings I cant find a setting to turn registration on or off.
I have looked up and found this line in the php files but don’t know how to read those.
I use a clean wordpress 3.3.2_nl install for budypressonly on a subdomain.
And also the default buddypresstheme.
