well, I don’t know what part of the file to change. I loaded the compatibility plugin templates, loaded the BP Sidebar plugin, even got the theme tag-ged buddypress to get rid of the message.
when I open up the widgets I see the Buddypress sidebar widgetized areas, but no matter what I place in there I can’t get them to show.
I guess I need to learn how to “make note of the HTML template structure of the file, specifically the
tags that surround the content and sidebar.”
will someone hold my hand through that process please?

Now I added 2 more remove functions, still not working:
function my_dtheme_setup() {
global $bp;
define( 'BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER' , false );
remove_custom_background();
remove_action('wp_head', 'bp_dtheme_admin_header_style');
remove_action('wp_head', 'bp_dtheme_custom_background_style');
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_dtheme_setup' );
Doing a test run for child theming and couldn’t figure out why some style rules displayed and others didn’t until I realized that BP Default is loaded after the child theme instead of before. Anybody else getting this or did I just botch my install?

@boonebgorges NO worries, I’ve just updated it.
@johnjamesjacoby We can probably do that for you 
I’ve just done a mass update off the back of @foxly ‘s cracking list will add in links tomorrow but anything anyone thinks should be added or issues just add to this thread. Keep em coming
@Pisanojm: Oh sorry about that updated now
@foxly: It’s on the happy list now I sent you an email thank you that rocks would love to get access and get the codex reflecting it. *High 5 for doing that job really rocks seeing community all working together.
@mercime, am using a child theme, my web is : http://www.suchworld.com/.
testing login:
username:demo, pass : demo
@foxly – Any chance you kind folks can test the plugins with menu issues against this patch?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/3454/3454.patch
I’ve just released 0.5 of BP Group Management, which is fully 1.5 compatible (it already was, btw, but I cleaned up some PHP warnings and other small issues )
@naijaping what theme are you using and how are nav items generated in your theme? If you’re using child theme of bp-default, there are CSS classes automatically which you can target for styling currently selected items.
For BP 1.2.9 there’s .selected and .current_page_item classes
`ul#nav li.selected a, ul#nav li.current_page_item a {
background: #f5f5f5;
color: #555;
}`
For upcoming BP 1.5 bp-default using wp_nav_menu, there’s .selected, .current-menu-item, .current_page_item, and even current_page_ancestor
`#nav li.selected a,
#nav > li.current-menu-item a,
#nav > li.current_page_item a,
#nav > li.current_page_ancestor a {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #F5F5F5;
color: #4D4D4D;
}`
Yes, applicable information does need to get to the codex; thanks for helping!
@foxly I can’t say “thanks” enough for the effort you guys are putting into 1.5 compatibility. This is a *huge* help to the community (and benefits you too, since it gets 1.5 out sooner )
It’ll be great to get @karmatosed write-access to the google doc. She has stepped up and taken a leadership role with a 1.5-compat codex page and with this forum thread, and it will be great for you to combine your resources – BP Media checking compatibility in-house, and @karmatosed (and others) collecting reports, etc from the forums.
Again, thanks so much.
Weird, it looks like some CSS isn’t being applied. Try downloading the theme again, and reactivating it.
@boonebgorges You’re welcome …
We’ve thrown some resources your way!
1) Our testers are currently checking every BuddyPress plugin with > 1000 downloads. Our throughput is about thirty a day. Thus far, 85% fail (as in cannot be used) rate.
http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/wiki/DOCS_BP_OnePointFive
@karmatosed …email me [CarlRoett] -at- [Gmail.com] and we’ll give you write access to the spreadsheet and wiki.
2) Our core devs are currently building a wiki to help other developers transition their plugins. Estimated finished in 2 days.
http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/wiki/DOCS_BP_FixingPlugins
3) OurSIGINT guys are doing their best to contact everyone with incompatible plugins and give them a “heads up”. We didn’t know about 1.5 until we stumbled across it in the forum, and we suspect the situation is similar for many other developers.

Hope this helps get things rolling!
^F^
Can you tell we really, really want 1.5 released to production…
@foxly Thanks so much for the kind words! Means a lot coming from a seasoned dev like yourself. Looking forward to seeing you in the dev chat!
In mostly case you should have something like this at the end of your thème files :
</div><!-- .padder -->
</div><!-- #content -->
get_sidebar();

@davidtcarson How can I get the theme to work?
@intermike How did you get it to work?

Please help me fix it. The theme’s screenshots look amazing, I hope I can get it to work.
Thanks.
@karmatosed
BuddyPress Media is now fully compatible with BuddyPress 1.5. We have a beta version available at the link below, and we’ll issue a release to production next week (once our test team are finished with it).
http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/downloads/detail?name=bp-album_2011-08-07_BETA.zip
When listing us on the compatible plugins page, please list us as “BuddyPress Media”, and link to this URL: “http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/”. BP-Album will *cease to exist* after BuddyPress 1.5 is released (it will turn into BuddyPress Media).

On behalf of the Buddypress Media team, congratulations on your new release. We’ve spent the past three days going through your code, and we’re just *astonished* at the improvements in structure, efficiency, and documentation!
This could be worth cake … 
We’ll be dropping by your dev chat this Wednesday to bombard you with questions and talk about what we can do to help get other key plugins working with 1.5 as quickly as possible.
See you there!

One more thing: the Create Group pages’ menu tabs’ CSS is kind messed: http://i55.tinypic.com/4jorw1.png
