@roguedjinni did you want the index.php two-column layout (with sidebar -> categories) or the page.php layout with full-width?

@roguedjinni thank you for following directions. Per initial scan, I would like to check out what goes where with the theme-specific codes you have there so that we don’t keep going back to the drawing board in case structure goes awry. I cannot find any online demo of your theme, can you post your site url or another site online that has this theme on?

@scorpiion4984 – you have two options listed below – because of page title. With option 1, the page titles in the BP template files won’t be changed to h1 and will not get the styling from your theme (but you could address this via stylesheet yourself). With option 2, you can get this h1 but would entail a lot of revisions which you would have to keep in mind and redo when you update BuddyPress/BP Template Pack:

1. Create only two files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php and upload to server wp-content/themes/fullscreen
or
2. Download 6 BP template folders from your fullscreen theme folder in server to your computer hard drive and change 16 template files then upload 6 folders with 16 revised files to your fullscreen theme folder.

I would choose #1

@roguedjinni please start your own topic and post the generated pastebin uri’s there for good nettiquette

== i can’t seem to get the “groups” page and profiles running. ==

@gospelcast looks like you’ve fixed your profiles issue http://gospelcast.org/members/patricksan/profile/

As for the groups page,
– check if groups directory and files were uploaded within wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/
– also go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Components and double-check if you have not disabled groups component. Re-Save page if you have activated groups component.
– go to BuddyPress > Pages and double-check if you have a Page assigned to your Groups. Re-Save Pages if you have selected Page for Groups.
– go to Settings > Permalinks and Re-Save permalink structure.
– for extra measure, re-upload BuddyPress plugin into plugins folder

@teorourke Code to the index.php you posted above is a BP template file from /swagger/members/index.php Please post the code of index.php from /swagger/index.php which I use to double-check structures. It looks like you would only need to add two xxx-buddypress.php files instead of revising 16 files but I want to make sure first.

Hi Mary Jane
hier ist the link for theme

have a nice weekend..

== Ok I just test the comments with the BuddyPress Default 1.5.5 Theme and the commenting worked. ==

@scorpiion4984 So this means that there is something – theme/plugin – which is conflicting with the JS of BuddyPress for the activity comments. One way to check is deactivating other plugins except BuddyPress and changing to Fullscreen. If activity commenting still works, activate plugins one by one to check which is the culprit.

Re: BP template HTML compatibility issues
– Code to index.php you posted above is that of BuddyPress templates’ /blogs/index.php. What I need is the code for your theme’s fullscreen/index.php
– Code to footer.php is blank
– Your layout is 3 column in http://nationalgamingleague.com.au/main/category/competitions/ , Just to let you know that you might need a wider area for the BuddyPress content like members and group pages, etc. ==> like a layout with 2 column or a full-width layout instead? Up to you though.
.- Also, please confirm, your theme is Fullscreen from Graph Paper Press.

Check you did all the Theme Compatible steps.
The part missing sounds like the Buddypress ajax bits…

When you are logged in with your user, and you do Activity things, like posting updates, or writing contents, do the functions work properly?? If they dont, it is definitely an issue with the BP Ajax stuff not getting called.

Re: issue with commenting on posts in activity stream:
Have you tried changing to bp-default theme to check if the issue is corrected? If not, deactivate plugins except BuddyPress as well?

Re sidebar below content area:
In order to assist you in making BP template files compatible with the HTML structure of your Fullscreen theme: Open up your Fullscreen theme’s header.php file, copy all code, paste all to 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 files.

Getting the following message when I go to your main site:

Forbidden – Users from your country are not permitted to browse this site.

What theme are you using? Check if it’s listed in this page with the solution to BP template compatibility – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

@mrlobaloba remember that solving this involved changing to bp-default theme and deactivating other plugins except BuddyPress beforehand and assigning the new Page Attivita to the Activity stream in BuddyPress > Pages and clicking save.

This was what I did in that specific installation – simple really:
1. Go to Network Admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Components – deactivate activity stream component, click button to save/update.
2. Go to lavori.italianproplayers.com/wp-admin (where you defined BP i.e., where BP is installed) and dashboard menu Settings > Permalinks and click on Save button.
3. Go back to Network Admin dashboard menu BuddyPress > Components – Activate activity stream component, click button to save/update
4. Check that the page Attivita is selected for the Activity stream in BuddyPress > Pages and click save.
5. Go back to lavori.italianproplayers.com/wp-admin dashboard menu Settings > Permalinks and click on Save button.

Note that the above might or might not work for other installations.

I suggest that you set up BP components, pages, forums, etc. and adding BP plugins using the bp-default theme. Test if BP components and plugins work using bp-default theme as well. Change to BP-compatible or BP-ready theme if you’re satisfied that your default installation is working well.

@aces Yes, did them all so far, but all are welcome to help out

@jkrysto what’s the name of your WP theme? Open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all, then paste code to 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

It would have helped to know which ( parent ) theme you are using and ideally a link to it….

@jkrysto i’m not the greatest with the theme template pack conversion stuff (i prefer to start from scratch) but essentially what it’s asking you to do is make sure that if your page.php has a `

@Ubuntuz – Assuming that the activity page is the only page not working then, BuddyPress (with your permission) does create it during the activation process. To check if it was created properly go to your wp-admin and then click Buddypress’ menu and then click the ‘pages’ tab. Does it have a page selected for activity?

Also are you using a custom theme or bp-default theme? if it’s a custom theme then the page will show a white-screen if you do not have an activity/index.php template in your theme.
