@artisantopia do post the pastebin url for content-page.php file. If you don’t have it, do ask the theme author where `et_template_part( ‘content’, themeblvd_get_part( ‘page’ ) )` is so I can help you fix alignment of the BP template files.

But did you deactivate the custom theme and activate bp-default, disable all plugins except BP and for good measure visit permalinks page to clear cache.

And are you really having exactly the same issue? It is proper to create a new thread and describe your issue in as much detail there rather than tag (hijack) on to an old thread.

Hi @mercime I have the same problem. WP 3.3.1 and BP 1.5.4. I’m using a child theme based off a Theme from themeforest.net (Gratitude – http://themes.zenthemes.net/gratitude/ )

You can see the live site with the errors here http://yogamalafoundation.org I de-activated buddypress plugins (which subsequently also weren’t working ) and then I reset permalinks. Still no go. Any help would be uber appreciated.

In the appropriate theme template (probably /activity/activity-loop.php), change the bp_has_activities() call to set: per_page = 10. This will show only 10 items per page (or per click of the ‘load more’ button in the Default Theme).

There isn’t a way of doing “show me the recent updates from a maximum of 10 users).

I would suggest creating a new profile field group for this sort of field, and put some logic into the appropriate theme template to not show fields in that group.

It takes the value=”” attribute and, from memory, uses that for the type= and sometimes the action= arguments for bp_has_groups. In the default theme, It does this in bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring()

Yes as mercime says don’t delete anything just yet, deleting and re-installing is seldom really required.

With the Salutation theme you have chosen quite a tricky framework to get ones head around, at best it’s confusing until you have spent a bit of time with it, but results do look quite nice and it appears to integrate well with BP, one thing to bear in mind with the theme is that it does allow you to export all the configured layouts and template includes so if you have started building, configuring layouts then check where the various export options are and save them then if necessary you can re-import them to re-create your custom changes.

B. COPY your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and at the TOP, above all code contained within, add this
``

Then at the BOTTOM of sidebar-buddypress.php, below all other code, 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. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/unstandard/ at the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are in

D. Final note: 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.

@sarbanharble I downloaded The Unstandard theme from http://5thirtyone.com
See if the instructions below to fix alignment will work for you:

You will only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your unstandard theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your Unstandard 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:
`

@yadigit – The official way to remove it is via adding the tag ‘buddypress’ to your theme style.css comment header (the section where you tell wordpress your theme’s name).

eg.
`
/**
* Theme Name: My Themes
* Tags: buddypress, awesome
**/
`

Theirs also an internal config line that you can add to wp-config.php or plugins/bp-custom.php
`define( ‘BP_SILENCE_THEME_NOTICE’, true );`

Step 1: Build a BuddyPress child theme: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Step 2: Add a style for h1: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp

@sarbanharble looks like you’ve not completed Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process for members, groups, activity and registration/activation pages- https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#step-three

Based on a quick scan of the HTML structure of The Unstandard theme, you can use the 2nd method per link above to fix alignment of the BP template files – i.e., create necessary content/files header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and/or footer-buddypress.php and upload these to your theme folder – instead of the 1st method which involves changing 16 BP template files.

@starprintbrokers before deleting everything. Follow my instructions in my post above to change to bp-default theme etc.

@nsbalgcom Open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all, paste in pastebin.com, click submit, and post the generated URI here.
Do the same for your theme’s (The Global News Theme, right?) index.php, page.php, sidebar.php, and footer.php

Sanity check: When you said you activated the “default theme” in your first post, did you mean the WordPress default theme Twenty Eleven or the bp-default theme? It should be the bp-default theme. And if you’re using Twenty Eleven or any other WordPress theme, you need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin then go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process.

Now if you are using the bp-default theme, go to BuddyPress Pages again and double-check that BP components are indeed associated with respective pages https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/bp-installation-wizard-08.gif

If that doesn’t cut it, https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/

@nsbalgcom I see you’ve installed the BP Template Pack plugin. Now you need to fix the alignment within the BP template files to be compatible with your WP theme WPSN – via 1st method of changing 16 BP template files or via 2nd method of creating only the header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and/or footer-buddypress.php.

Initial scan of online source code shows that you need only to implement the 2nd method and adding some styles to fix the alignment of your theme. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#fixalignment

I’ve installed – re-installed, manually modified DB’s, a hundred times and never had anything remotely like this happen especially not caused by BP. BP doesn’t cock up in this manner, table prefix sounds like something your theme has done.

As for fix? try renaming your tables back to the wp default ‘wp_’

A little more work is required to remove those empty tags used for clearing though

Hi,
The code provided above worked, although a little change was required in sidebar coding…

Good question. I think if you delete the registeration/ folder in your theme (or parent theme), it will use WP’s. Let us know.

Also try removing the page mapping for the component in wp-admin – BuddyPress > Components
