Thanks for starting a new thread on your issues as requested.

I’m going to close this thread as you do not really need two running and your other one covers both your issues so please continue in that one:

1. If you install a WP theme, you need to install BP Template Pack plugin to integrate BP component magic into your WP theme.

2. Which BP theme was that and is that theme updated for current BP version?
Did you follow internal or external forums set up in this articlehttps://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#forums-setup

I have not been able to get the filter to work on the Feeds on the activity page. I have GenesisConnect and the executive theme.

A second problem I am unable to edit the acrivity page, when I do it comes up blank. I put a little preamble at the top I would like to change.

They told me at Genesis Connect to post here.

I found https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-edit-headerphp#post-45900 invaluable in helping to create my community menu …. but it wasn’t an easy task ….

if you do that, you’ll need to consider the impact on widgets and third-part BP plugins.

I usually create a new CSS file called custom.css and then add all my add-on code there. That way the theme CSS is clean and upgradable. Place the file in the root of your site and then call the CSS file in the header.

Or after_theme_setup

It’s possible that bp_init is fired too early in the process for it to be detected with functions.php, which is only loaded with your theme (relatively late). Try hooking to something like ‘wp’ instead. You should be able to detect whether BP is activated by doing something like
`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_loaded’ ) )
return;`

In any case, you should be enqueuing scripts on the init action, which is unrelated to bp_init: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script

Files don’t look ok when I view source of a page, you did adjust the copy of activity/index.php that lives in your child theme rather than in the original bp-default folder inside the BP plugin.

Take a look at Brajesh’s Global Search. It has functions to return search results for forums, blogs, members, groups and site pages/posts.

Creating The sitewide global/unified search Page for your Buddypress Theme

Check out the function bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring() in bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php. That’s where most of the bp_ajax_querystring() magic is happening. Essentially, it looks first in the $_POST (for a new value via AJAX) and from there in the $_COOKIE for the current page view.

@grow-stories this is an 8 month old thread you have dragged back up. please, in future, if you have an issue you require help with you must start a new post/thread and describe the problem in detail along with any applicable info such as version numbers , custom themes, plugins in use.

You activate the plugin in the usual place for plugins, you visit the BP menu section and configure any options you want such as forum install, extended profiles etc, then visit the theme section and activate the bp-default theme or suitable BP compatible theme you might have.

I use custom community theme on http://www.heroisme.nl but there are some missing pages when clicking on community items. Is there a solution for this?

perhaps take care and don’t update that actual checkout but move to a fresh install with fresh checkout of BP trunk and move your theme / plugins in as I think there will have been changes that may not sit well initially?

This theme is really great!
I love it, and use it on my site.
Thanks allot!
