@modemlooper I did here back from him, he’s to busy to help me fix the problem right now. 
He’s working on the next version of the theme. I have no idea if it will fix my problems but I can only wait so long. As it is now my members can’t join groups or easily contact each other.
Very frustrating as I had the theme set up exactly the way I wanted. I wouldn’t have upgraded yet, except the theme said it had been updated for BP 1.5 as well as their pack.
It’s not the developer I’m upset with, he’s normally quick and great with help. I just don’t understand what’s causing the problem or how to fix it. I’ve also disabled ALL my plugins and it did not help.
I thought it might be something with the theme install. So I’ve tried to remove it completely as well as the child theme I was using. I deleted it using the WP theme delete and removed their bp pack. When I reinstall it all my custom css colors are still there. Since I reinstalled from the WP installer and not uploading my old files they shouldn’t be there….
Maybe the settings are stored in the database… But shouldn’t completely uninstalling the theme remove that?
Is my issue similar to your?
Since 1.5 i’m not able to create groups in buddypress. Have a look at my debug list.Please help me! Thx! Jack

Check with the theme developer and make sure their “pack” is up to date.
well, I just met your post by chance and the word author attracted me to read it, as I’m myself a beginner writer, who have exactly the same combination as you describe, WordPress and buddypress 
I can say all you want exactly can be done by buddypress, all that features you mentioned are built-in without any need for plugins, but for few options there is this plugin wanted:
subscribe2 ( if you don’t have already )
subscribe to comments ( like in wordpres )
for the theme, I may suggest the default theme which I use, or the new Frisco theme.
for media need, of course the new buddypress media or bp-Album
perhaps other friend can give you more details, have a nice day
If it’s a theme issue you need to contact the developer of that specific theme
Has anybody seen this issue? It’s very weird — the Topic page displays just fine, and has no trouble identifying the latest poster. But on forums-loop.php, it can’t, and the problem persists with the default 1.5 theme, so it seems like something to do with WP/BP settings or is server-side.
Thanks for the link. The Sample Page made it all clear. I have revised all codes added to the bottom of header-buddypress.php and at the top and bottom of sidebar-buddypress.php in this post.

Here’s a link to the activity page so you can examine the code if it helps:

Ok i did. No more error message. but buddypress is extending past the theme’s sidebar on the right side of the page still. This one is busting my brain. Man I will compensate you through paypal if you can help me resolve this, thank you
@karmatosed Yes I did and they are suppose to be compatible with BP 1.5. I’m running Suffusion theme 3.9.0 with their buddypack plugin. After updating it I rebuilt the files as they said to do, but it didn’t help.
Delete the line “ from header-buddypress.php
Ok I insert the lines as you instructed me. I keep getting this error message on the “Activity” page although:
Warning: include(/home/brbabb/public_html/wp3/wp-content/themes/Theme/TheStyle/includes/top_info.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/brbabb/public_html/wp3/wp-content/themes/Theme/TheStyle/header-buddypress.php on line 77

Any idea what’s happening here?
You’re welcome. Sorry, I should have stated it more clearly
Edit – ok, revised wording in adding code to header- and sidebar-buddypress.php
Just to be clear did you update your theme files along with BuddyPress 1.5?
@mercime, ok that’s what I thought you meant, I’m going to try it again now. TY!
When I say BOTTOM for header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php, I mean post given codes after all other pre-existing content in respective files. When I say TOP for sidebar-buddypress.php, I mean post given code above all other pre-existing content, the first line of the file.
Your theme’s original header.php and sidebar.php files should not be changed at all.
@mercime, thank you for helping me. I appreciate it. I was unsuccessful at integrating Buddypress although.
I received a php error message regarding in the header.php, line #75. When you say insert the code at the bottom or top, you do mean the absolute bottom, or are in saying at the bottom of the final div tag ?
BP Xtra Signup is in the PASS list on https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/.
Works perfectly in single site setup.
BUT
On a multisite set-up with buddypress root blog on a subdirectory BP Xtra Signup’s settings page does not show up and so it can’t be used.
Thanks for your great work. Would like to have this confirmed/contradicted if possible.
After searching for hours on end to find the solution to this I think I’ve found something. I too had installed the latest Buddypress with the latest WordPress and couldn’t get the forums to work. There was no tab linking to the forums page using the default buddypress theme and when typing in /forums/ it would just redirect back to the homepage.
Under Buddypress->Pages set ‘Discussion Forums’ to ‘none’ rather than the ‘Forum’ page.
This worked for me an hopefully it works for everyone else. Please note this works for the site wide forum option, I haven’t tried the group forums.
Also seeing as it was so easy I’m guessing it’s probably not the best way to fix things and I’ve more than likely done something wrong but until someone corrects me it’s a solution that works.
Hope it helps
@supertwigs change to bp-default theme and it still doesn’t work, could be plugin conflict.
@jommowner – Custom Community theme has been updated for BP 1.5 though it’s not “live” in the WP repo yet. You can download new version at https://github.com/Themekraft/Custom-Community
Since version 1.2 of the BP template pack plugin for BP 1.5, the devs have provided a 2nd method to get your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress – works in many WP themes. Fortunately, the Instyle theme can be made BP compatible with the 2nd method instead of the 1st method which involves changing 14 BP template files transferred to your WP theme. The steps below show the 2nd method for BP compatibility in action.
1. Activate BuddyPress
2. Activate Instyle theme
3. Install and activate BP Template Pack plugin and go through the BP compatibility process so that the BP files are transferred to your instyle theme folder.
4. Open up Instyle’s header.php, insert this code at the very “BOTTOM” of the file, after all other pre-existing code
(Updated)
`
`
and Save As > header-buddypress.php in the same Instyle theme folder
5. Open up Instyle’s sidebar.php, we’re going to insert codes at the TOP and BOTTOM of the file
At the very TOP of the file, insert code above all other pre-existing code in file
(Updated)
`
`
At the very BOTTOM of the file, insert this code after all other pre-existing code in file
(Updated)
`
`
and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php in the same Instyle theme folder
6. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.org to your theme’s folder in server.

Is the “clearfix” div id tag is something that’s new?
