BuddyPress.org

Check your theme’s header.php, near the ‘title’ tags. You haven’t got your site name hardcoded in, have you?

The easiest way is to create a new profile field group, and move the fields you don’t want to appear on the registration form into it.

The more involved way is to edit the /registration/register.php file in your theme, and tweak the section that begins “Use the profile field loop to render input fields”. This is also the place where you’ll want to move the markup to arrange the form to your liking; you will probably also need to add some CSS to your theme.

B. At the bottom of each file, replace
`

`

with the following (except for registration/register.php file);
`

<?php
thematic_belowpost();
// calling the widget area ‘page-bottom’
get_sidebar(‘page-bottom’);
?>

<?php
// action hook for placing content below #container
thematic_belowcontainer();
// calling the standard sidebar
thematic_sidebar();
// calling footer.php
get_footer();
?>`

with the following for registration/register.php
`

<?php
thematic_belowpost();
// calling the widget area ‘page-bottom’
get_sidebar(‘page-bottom’);
?>

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();
});
});

<?php
// action hook for placing content below #container
thematic_belowcontainer();
// calling the standard sidebar
thematic_sidebar();
// calling footer.php
get_footer();
?>`

Save all files. Upload 6 folders with revised files to your server.

Based on the structure of Thematic, you would have to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Thematic child theme during the BP Compatibility process.

Download the 6 folders mentioned above – activity, blogs, forums, groups, members, registration – to your computer hard drive.

A. Open up each of the 16 BP files and at the Top of each file replace:
`

@tadpubco are you using a WP theme and if so, did you install BP Template Pack and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility?

You’re welcome.

Marking this as resolved then. Cheers

It means you need to activate the BuddyPress plugin.

Sure, you can BP in a secondary blog of your WPMU installation. Create a bp-custom.php file and in it add the following so you can set which blog ID BuddyPress will run on:
`<?php
define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id );
?>`
Replace $blog_id with the actual side ID# e.g. 35 then save file and upload to wp-content/plugins/ folder

– from https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

Sure, you can activate a BP-compatible theme for that specific BP in secondary site.

You’re welcome. Thank you for coming back and sharing the good news

I too have the same issue. I have Buddypress 1.5.3, WP 3.3.1 and BP Social 1.2.4. When we reply in the activity stream it gives me error 404.

Anyone tried to update BP to 2.5.4 to see if it resolves the issue? Is it theme related? How can I fix this? It’s crippling my user’s willingness to use the site: we rely on replies and comments to build common knowledge on projects !!!

Unfortunately, still did not work.

As for Twenty Ten. I built my site from a blank theme.. Is there a way to find out the basic requirements for BP?

@glepage could you clarify further re what you mean by BP Template pack doesn’t work? Maybe I should have more explicit, you need to activate BuddyPress plugin first.

As for Twenty Ten, we have a codex article on how to make it compatible with BuddyPress at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/

You can check out the code that deals with the dropdown list from line 93 thru line 130 of the activity index file of the bp-default theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.4/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php#L130

Thanks @mercime

Unfortunately that plugin doesn’t seem to work as well. I’ve even tried installing ‘BP Template Pack’ onto the default WP twenty eleven theme and it won’t work either. Thought it might be a compatibility issue so I uninstalled all plugins. Still didn’t work. All other plugins have been installing well as well.

@glepage you can integrate BP into your theme. Install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility process https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/ At the bottom of that page you’ll find an example of using the 1st method and two examples of the second method to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress.

It shouldn’t be too hard to adapt your own theme using the buddypress template pack and the codex guide

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/ and https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-eleven-bp-1-5/ might be useful, particularly if your theme is based on either…

An Alternative to that, and if you aren’t happy with any of the buddypress themes, is to build a child of bp-default. A good place to start is: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

I’m having the same issue. I built a custom WP theme and I’m now wanting to integrate BP into my theme. Or should I take an existing free BP theme and start from scratch?

This is not a BuddyPress issue then, but a theme issue. If you change to bp-default theme, I gather that the issue will be corrected.

In all probabilty, your theme would need to be updated to be compatible with latest BP/WP versions. You should contact theme author for the free support which should come together with the purchase of a premium theme.
