== Is there a way to completely UNINSTALL and REINSTALL all components of BuddyPress and BuddyPress Template Pack?! ==

To uninstall template pack, you can delete the BP template folders in your theme’s folder, then deactivate template pack plugin.

To uninstall BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/deleting-buddypress/

== I keep getting a 404 Page Not Found Error for EVERY BuddyPress link I click on at the top main menu ==

Mod_rewrite must be enabled in your server for “pretty permalinks” required by BuddyPress. Go to Settings > Permalinks and set it to something other than default.

== The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activity Streams, Discussion Forums, User Groups, Members, Activate, Register. Repair ==

Go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages. You need to associate BP components with Pages. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#bp-pages

I’ve just done it in a non bp child theme – wrapping the new css in extra brackets for @media in style.css – ie:
`
@ media (max-width: 520px) {
.my-class {
float: none;
width:100%;
}
.whatever-class {
float: none;
width:100%;
}
}
`
Note the two sets of brackets…

Please Note: There should not be a space between `@` and `media` but as someone has used that as a nickname it turns it automatically into a mention and I don’t know if it’s possible to disable that

It is probably the https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/responsive.css stylesheet kicking in.

You should be able to use @media in your child theme stylesheet…..

Hmm, I highly suggest you make a backup of the file I want you to alter. I’m not sure if your using wordpress or not but in any case what I did was..enter buddypress–>buddypress themes–>bp default—>activity–>index.php. (so yea make a back up of your index.php file) Then edit the index.php file by deleting the following <li class="selected" id="activity-all"><a href=&quot;" title=""><?php printf( __( 'All Members <span>%s</span>', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_total_site_member_count() ); ?></a></li>

@alanchrishughes – the plugin (Buddypress template pack) is simply a utility tool, it’s not required.

What does it do? From what i gather from your comment above, you tried to copy the template folders from Tpack, but if you look inside your theme, the folders are actually empty, which is why it’s not working The plugin copies the folders from the bp-default theme (inside the buddypress plugin)

So – you either need to turn on (activate) template pack and go through the configure stuff (once done you can deactivate the template pack) or, copy over the files manually from within plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/dp-default

If you choose to not keep the template pack active, you may also need to copy over the functions into your themes functions.php (https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/bp-template-pack/trunk/bpt-functions.php) as it has some almost required stuff (like registering the “add friends” buttons)

== Is this a setting that needs to be changed? ==

@margysdr Basically, if you left Groups enabled in BuddyPress > Components panel, then the links to respective groups in the Group Directory page should open to each individual Group’s page.

WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? Have you changed to bp-default theme to see if issue is corrected? If not, then have you disabled other plugins except BuddyPress to see if issue is resolved?

@words2us I only see the facebook connect widget in your sidebar. So assume you want to move login below that:
– Copy over sidebar.php from bp-default theme into your bp-default child theme folder.
– Open up sidebar.php with a text editor and move up “ to just under “
– Save file and upload to server

@visakov Per Custom Community theme forums http://themekraft.com/groups/custom-community/forum/topic/remove-comments-off-copy-beneath-posts/

The default home page of the bp-default theme are blog posts. If you created a static page (e.g. named “Home”) for the home page, then you should create another page named e.g. Blog and go to Settings > Reading and select Home for the static front page and select Blog for the blog posts. If that’s not the case, site url?

B. Create a blank sidebar-buddypress.php and in it add:

C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/atahualpa/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php are.

Final note: Check out the style modifications to contain some BP elements. Copy these and paste into your theme’s stylesheet and adjust as needed. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

UPDATED INFORMATION BELOW

@indieconnect This is to confirm that to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress, you only need to create two new files. Those files are header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php. You do not need a footer-buddypress.php file

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your Atahualpa theme folder during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your Atahualpa 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 theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php

UPDATED INFORMATION BELOW

There can only be normally one background image per element in CSS2 so when you add the icon, it will override the gradient background created in parent theme. You could add extra bg-img using pseudo-elements but that’s good for modern browsers and IE8+ only.

You can use multiple background images for one element with CSS3 compatible with most modern browsers incl. IE9 above. But if you have users who use IE8 below, it will note show up at all.

One solution for cross-browser compatibility down to IE7 is to create an image with the icon and the gradient background, e.g. activity-time-since-with-gradient-background.png, together and hook that to the link:
`div#item-header #send-private-message a {
background: transparent url(_inc/images/activity-time-since-with-gradient-background.png) left center no-repeat !important;
padding-left: 25px;
}`
Of course your image name won’t be that long.

The other solution is this: http://www.norestfortheweekend.com/2011/02/26/css3-gradients-multiple-backgrounds-and-ie7/ This is more involved but a great learning experience if you have the time.

The above error message normally means that wordpress only has 32 mb of memory available and it needs more.

There are various technques for increasing memory available but some hosts don’t allow those methods to be used and require a different hosting plan.

If that isn’t practical it is possible to run wordpress with less memory if you cut back on plugins, use a theme that doesn’t eat up memory, and only upload very small pictures etc…. There are various plugins around that can help you work out what is eating ram

I used to find it hard to run wordpress with 32 meg of memory, let alone buddypress…

1024 bytes in a KB,
1024KB in a MB
Thus: 1024*1024*32 = 33554432 bytes in 32MB

Note: `</script`& grt; above should be “

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/wikiasi/

D. Check out the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten for reference especially with removing the bullets and bringing in the extended width of the BP elements. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and copy these over to your theme’s stylesheet then adjust as needed.

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

If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /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
`
