BuddyPress.org

@junglejinge just checked your site. A style in your theme’s style.css has wrought havoc with the avatar of individual member/group e.g. http://www.meetinbradford.org/groups/over-50s/

Add this to your stylesheet to override aforementioned
`div#item-header img.avatar {
float: left !important;
position: relative !important;
}`

Add also the following to your stylesheet to delete the list style showing up in members/groups list
`ul#members-list, ul#groups-list {
list-style-type: none;
margin-left: 0;
}`

Add additional styles to taste.

Platform is *supposed* to have BuddyPress support, so I looked at the CSS route via Firebug. Sure enough, some minor tweaks “lifted up” your sidebar to where it’s supposed to be.

Add this to your stylesheet to lift up the sidebar.:
`#buddypress-page #content {
float: left;
width: 600px;
}`

If you want to bring in the BP elements that extend the horizontal border, etc, add following to stylesheet as well to start:
`#buddypress-page #content .padder div.pagination { margin: -20px 0px 0 !important; }
#buddypress-page .item-list li { padding: 1em 0 !important; }
div.item-list-tabs { margin: 25px 0 20px !important; }
div#subnav.item-list-tabs { margin: -15px 0 15px !important; }
ul#members-list, ul#groups-list { list-style-type: none; margin-left: 0; }`

Add other styles to taste.

If the above solution works for you, please close the WP.org forum post as resolved. Cheers.

Per info, latest theme version is 1.8.7 https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/custom-community

You could post in WP.org forums for that plugin as to why it’s causing that issue with BuddyPress. In the meantime, if you need sample content for your site, you could download test data which the WordPress Theme Review Team use to check out themes submitted to the WP Theme Repository https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Unit_Test

@junglejinge you need to wrap your code within backticks (`) the symbol between the parentheses for short blocks of code. But for large blocks like the page.php source code, use pastebin.com as aces mentioned above

I gathered additional information from WP.org forums

BP compatibility process for Graphene Theme

A. After you activate the Graphene theme, install and activate BP Template Pack

B. Go to Appearance > BP Compatibility and go through the process till you click Finish. Do not disable the Template Pack’s CSs nor JS. You’ll see this in frontend [before you make the changes, the regular page and the component page]

It’s totally unlike what you have currently at http://www.meetinbradford.org/

Note: this theme has many options which may or may not work with the modifications placed below. In case the following exercise does not work, please contact the graphene theme developer and refer him/her to this post.

C. Download the 6 BP folders which were transferred to your graphene theme folder in server down to your computer hard drive. Because of your theme’s HTML structure, you will need to use the first method for fixing alignment on 16 files within the folders you downloaded. Those 16 files listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

Starting with activity/index.php open it up with text editor
At the very top, replace:
`

`

Save file. Then do this for the remaining 15 files listed in link except for registration/register.php where you do the same for the top portion of the file but at the bottom of the file, replace:

`

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();
});
});

`

with:
`

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 and upload the six folders with modified template files to your theme folder in server.

D. Styling modifications – you’d most probably want to tweak some styles that come with bp.css. Check out style.css mods used in twenty theme as guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

For 99% of themes, you can use any WordPress Google Analytics plugin and it will work for BuddyPress!
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/google-analytics

Thanks for testing the trunk version!

Your scenario only occurs if javascript was disabled or if there is a conflict in the javascript. Are you using a custom theme? There’s a chance a plugin could also be intefering with the javascript.

Deleting activity updates when javascript was disabled was recently fixed in trunk:

Hi, please do not create a new topic because no one has responded to you yet.

To start, are you using the BuddyPress Default theme?

1. Make Twenty Eleven compatible with BuddyPress https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-eleven-bp-1-5/

2. In many cases, WP plugins work with BuddyPress.

Before installing it into your active/busy WP site, I recommend ichecking out BP in a test install preferably with the same server environment as your current WP install. e.g. in a physical subdomain in same server.

A lot of the repo themes are outdated. It’s ridiculous that they screen themes heavily when they are submitted to the repo but are then forgotten and never tested on newer versions of wp or bp. The theme review system at WordPress.org is completely flawed.

Wordpress.org theme previews don’t work for BuddyPress themes, because wordpress.org doesn’t have BuddyPress installed. I think there’s very little chance of this situation changing. I’ll contact the company who runs WordPress.org (Automattic) and pass the feedback on.

Regarding plugins appearing out of date; the BuddyPress core team has no involvement or responsibility for the vast majority of those plugins. If someone decides to stop contributing to a plugin, then it will eventually break and stop working, unless someone contacts the original author and they agree to take ownership of it.
It’s also worth noting some plugins may work fine with the current version of BuddyPress, and the author just hasn’t bothered with a release to update the “tested up to” version number.

If you’re using a WP theme, you need to make it compatible with BuddyPress by installing, activating and going through the compatibility process via the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin. If this is the route you took, double-check in server that the register folder with 2 files within was transferred into your WP theme folder wp-content/themes/yourWPtheme/register

If you’re using the bp-default theme or a child theme of the bp-default theme, then double-check that the register folder with two files within is present in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/register

== However, in the step 3 of the compatibility process it only listed 11 files to change. ==
True, but the BP Template Pack plugin will be updated to list 16 files which need to be changed per link above https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

== There are still some outstanding formatting issues. ==
True. I have updated code above in two areas above which I have placed [Updated …] info.
1. hentry-content should be entry-content
2. whole block of what to be replaced in bottom of registration/register.php

I have to ask whether you changed style in bp.css of the BP Template Pack plugin because the `div#item-header-content` is missing the `margin-left: 170px; ` and you need to bring that back.

In addition, you need to tweak some styles in your WP theme’s style.css file. Check out the additional tweaks on the BP components divs as a guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

try using http://pastebin.com/ and link to it….

You’re welcome.

== Which file do I edit to get the BP Album profile page to display my style? ==
Not sure. Please post at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/ You can refer them to this post if needed.

@welvincudas you need to complete Step 3 of the BP Template Pack compatibility process. If you need assistance, open up your theme’s page.php file, select all and copy, and paste onto pastebin.com. Click submit and post the generated URL here.

You’d have to use the first method of fixing alignment in the BP Compatibility process to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. The first method involves changing HTML structure in the 16 files as listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

A. Download the six BP template folders which were transferred to your adventure-journal theme in server down to your computer hard drive.

** We’ll explore if the adventure-specific template tags will work within BP. It will spout errors if it’s not working, so we’ll have to delete such template tags. But if no errors show up, it’s good to go.

B. Starting with activity/index.php, open it up and at the top of the file, replace:
`

`

with
`

`

D. Save file and do the same to the remaining 15 files per list linked above except for registration/register.php where at the bottom of the file,
replace:
`

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();
});
});

`

with
`

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();
});
});

`

E, Upload the six folders to your server wp-content/themes/adventure-journal folder
