1) Re: delete not deactivate

You can safely delete each Group you’ve created in each Group’s admin settings.
You can uninstall the Forums for groups in dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums > uninstall group forums.
You can uninstall Sitewide Forums in dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums > uninstall sitewide forums.
Then, go to BuddyPress > Components > remove checks for User Groups and Discussion Forums

2) Re: if you look at my site http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this/ you will notice the menu items are on top of each other

– I don’t see that in your site. So it’s either you’ve changed the theme to bp-default theme or you’ve decided to use bp-default’s custom menus to organize your links.

3) Re: The logos on my site, redirects to http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this

– Right now I see that you have HTML pages at domain root http://www.sweepbook.com/
So where did you install WP/BP, in subdirectory rate-this? and the redirect is to
redirect is to http://www.sweepbook.com/sweepbook/rate-this/ .
WP Settings > General > Site Address URI/WordPress Address URI was changed without proper checks and this is not a BuddyPress issue at all.

This is a little confusing….

Did you install wordpress and buddypress yourself ‘via ftp’ or did you use a webhost’s automated system and how far did you get with wordpress before these errors occured? It might be easier to re-install wordpress from scratch manually….

Renaming the folder would disable buddypress so that shouldn’t be a factor, suggesting this is not a buddypress problem. Have you installed any ‘buddypress’ plugins and what wordpress plugins have you installed? Are you sure these are all compatible with your versions of bp/wp ( https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/plugin-compatibility/ ) .

To get back into your wordpress installation you could try https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F

Did you go through the theme compatibility process for buddypress: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/ ?

Copy over activity-loop.php to your bp-default child theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php

change this line
“

to
“

== I want to replace the buddypress search box from top header ==

If you have a bp-default child theme, copy over header.php from bp-default theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php
Then delete lines 25-44 from header.php per link I gave and move those lines over where you want it.

== Is there a buddypress 1.5 compatible plugin that manages banneradds? ==

You could create widget areas then just add the sidebar areas where you want them to show up in theme, see how to http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/11/08/sidebars-in-wordpress

== I’d need to show the login form to all the users that get to the BP site. Only on that one. ==

Copy code from bp-default’s sidebar.php to your bp-default child theme or custom BP theme. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php

Cool. Marking this as resolved then

Hello,
I think i have the same issue. With Wp 3.3.1, BuddyPress 1.5.4 and bbPress 2.0.2, when a user try to edit his profile, the nickname is deleted. I try to deactivate all my plugins and change to bp-default theme and no difference. I have no proble with the wp-admin.
Regards,
Cyrille

Not all hosts allow you to increase memory that way. Some do not allow it at all!

To get into your admin you could use ftp ( or your web-host’s control panel ) to disable some plugins by renaming the directory/folder(s) – ie:- /wp-content/plugins/theplugin/ – Some plugins use a lot of memory.

If the theme you are using has lot’s of options it could also be quite memory hungry.

I find the check memory allocation limit feature of https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-system-health/ ( screenshots ) useful to find out how much memory WP thinks it has. There are other alternatives though…

You’re welcome.

Someone tried to make your theme compatible with BP using the first method — changing 16 BP template files starting with /activity/index.php. I see a duplicate `

== I don’t know how to make a bp-custom.php ==

I answered your question at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/how-do-i-create-a-bp-custom-php-file/

== I don’t know how to make a child theme ==

BP Codex is your friend https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

C. Copy your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and at the very top of the file, above other code, add this:
`

`

Then at the very bottom of the same file, below 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.

Upload the three new files to your server wp-content/themes/puretype/ the same level where you find original header.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files

@tadpubco Looks like you only need to create three files header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and footer-buddypress.php

A. Copy your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php

Open up header-buddypress.php and at the very bottom of the file, below other code, add this:

@dsg257 by Weaver theme, are you using the free version from WP Theme Repository https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/weaver or the premium version?

Not quite a BuddyPress issue but more of Pagelines theme. You should check out their docs where you have to install the “BuddyPress for PageLines Plugin” on top of the BP Template Pack plugin. Not sure how fresh the info is though http://www.pagelines.com/wiki/How_to_Use_the_BuddyPress_for_PageLines_Plugin

You should post query about BP Compatibility at theme author’s forums.

Yes they ought to – not much more I can add to that really I would guess that if you are running a child theme something in your file naming / wp settings is overriding things .

Are you running a custom theme? If so have you tried deactivating and running the BP default theme to see if the issue still manifests, that way you narrow down the issue to a theme related one. If the issue is present with BP default then detail your setup and versions – oh and deactivate any plugins that are not 100% required to eliminate those from the problem.

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/ ?

That search, in bp-default header.php, is within the site header area.

You seem to be talking about the adminbar which I dont think includes a search, though I seem to remember that there was one once…

It looks like you’re using a converted version of http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/aggregate/ which has a preview: http://www.elegantthemes.com/preview/Aggregate/ showing a search feature in their adminbar so maybe it is a theme option?
