BuddyPress.org

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.

So you created a child theme of Thematic and then you installed & activated BP Template Pack plugin and have gone through Appearance > BP Compatibility?

Open up child theme’s header.php file, copy all code, paste in pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s footer.php, sidebar.php, index.php and page.php files. If you do not have such file/s in your child theme, copy the same file from parent theme Thematic.

Download permalink.php file from server wp-content/themes/themeveriteuniverselle/members/single/activity/permalink.php to your computer and make the following change:

Open up permalink.php and at the bottom of the file, add “ immediately before “ so bottom of file would liook something like this:
`

`

Save file.

Upload permalink.php back to server wp-content/themes/themeveriteuniverselle/members/single/activity/

You need to go through Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process to superimpose your theme’s HTML structure onto the BP template files . I helped someone with the graphene theme a while back. Check if this is still applicable with the current Graphene version https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/where-are-my-sub-menus/

I’ve seen this before when a theme or another plugin is using the ‘wp_title’ filter in a way that causes it to break in BuddyPress. If you can do a find-in-files, let me know what themes or plugins you have which contain the phrase ‘wp_title’, otherwise let us know which theme and all the plugins you are using.

@janismo please clarify what you mean about
– “this theme”
– “old bp-default” and about
– “number of bp-default from the link”

You need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP Compatibility to make your WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress.

I’ve run into the issue myself. It seems to have something to do with the activity-loop.php function. When enabling the external JS/AJAX I get some compatibility on my custom theme. For whatever reason If i want to comment on a post it will redirect me to “activity/reply/” with 404 error. Could it be a permalink function or does the custom theme need some JS/Ajax to make it work?

Is http://themes.truethemes.net/Karma/ the theme you are referring to?

It doesn’t seem to be buddypress compatible out of the box.

Have you installed the buddypress template pack and gone through the process of making it compatible? ie: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

B. Copy 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, 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();
});
});

`
[ @erica34 – updated code above to add script required]

Save file.

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

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

To make your theme compatible with BuddyPress, you 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 evolution theme folder during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your evolution 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 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:
`

As for the theme used in http://www.moretonbay.biz, I’m sorry I cannot provide assistance for artisteer-generated themes. It’s just too convoluted. Maybe someone else here can help you with that theme.

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

Save file.

Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your tpsunrise folder in server wp-content/themes/tpsunrise/

For http://www.campertrailerseniors.net using TP Sunrise theme found at WP Repository https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/tpsunrise

If you’ve touched/revised any of the BP Template files transferred to your tpsunrise folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP Template folders from your tpsunrise theme folder. After that, run Appearance > BP Compatibility process again so you’ll get clean new BP template files transferred to your folder.

You only need to create two new files and upload both to your WP theme’s folder in your server wp-content/themes/tpsunrise/

A. Copy tpsunrise theme’s header.php file and save as header-buddypress.php

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

@erica34 to complete the instruction today please post loop.php and loop-page.php in pastebin.com like you did with the other pages

The difference is that the pasted source content of your page.php you posted above in http://pastebin.com/BPGP9w3u where I based the HTML structure didn’t contain “ which was in source content of your index.php post above inhttp://pastebin.com/11HsjUrw

You would need to add that missing line right under get_header in 16 files of BP Templates like so …
