BuddyPress.org

Initially you referred to running the BP default theme when asked however the link doesn’t show this??!!

Regardles of whether you think something is an issue please follow mercim’s request to deactivate all but BP plugin and ensure you are running the bp default theme.

wow – I’m getting the feeling the BP has a long way to go – not clear why it’s rated so highly based on a lot of what I’m experiencing and reading –
a lot of broken parts from what i can tell and pieces that don’t fit within the overall geometry of wp themes, plugins etc

“The theme issues are not solved.”
bp-default theme out of the box with BuddyPress plus adding a header image would be like in testbp.org
Deactivate all plugins including qTranslate and leave only BuddyPress plugin activated with bp-default theme. If bp adminbar is still bad, recommend reinstallation of WP and BP from scratch.

@hnla thanks, didn’t see that.

Actually this could be a case of plugin like qTranslate which hooks into bp adminbar because similar issue happening in this other topic.

“the buddypress links show either as blue links in a tree on a white page”
Based on search in this site, there have been issues with the qTranslate plugin, Since the plugin also hooks onto the bp adminbar, it could have caused your links to appear without any styling. Did you follow the instruction to delete code line for qTranslate to play nice with BuddyPress? https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-qtranslate/

Access wp-content/themes/ via FTP/cPanel and rename Spyker theme folder to something else. Clear cache and go back to wp-admin

You shouldn’t start a new thread for the same issues.

The problem with your layout is this. Your container is inside a div with inline styles. Your container div for your WP theme has no id and inline styling. Then you have the BP files shoved inside that.

< div some inline style
< div some inline style
** then you have
< div container
< div content

The container should be the outside of your theme holding it all together. Also looks like the sidebar is outside the container.

That happens when there’s no ` `before the closing “ in theme’s footer.php, But since you already mentioned that you’ve using bp-default theme (which you activated in Appearance > Themes) then lack of wp_footer is not the problem. Some thoughts:
– Re-upload BuddyPress plugin files via FTP
– Deactivate all plugins (including mu-plugins) except BuddyPress, and see if same behavior applies.

Is your WP single site or multisite? Test WP functions first before installing BuddyPress to isolate the problems you have in your install. Run Settings > Permalinks and set it to other than default. Deactivate BuddyPress and qTranslate. Now go change themes in WordPress site – is the theme layout showing as expected? Upload media in site. If you’ve gone multisite, upload media in subsite/blog also, are images showing up in posts with WP default theme (twentyten) on for main site and subsite? If answer to either is no, then you have to resolve those issues first before installing BuddyPress by going to https://wordpress.org/support/

uhhg, your site has inline css styling your layout. divs with no name are going to make it more work to fix. normally you just rename the divs in the BP theme files to match your WP theme to use the same styling.

You will need to add your own CSS to to make the BP layout work right.

This site runs a child theme of BP-Default. You aren’t using BP-Default, obviously, so it won’t look like this site. The idea is that the template pack gives you the minimum required to allow you to style the BuddyPress template files to match your theme.

Yep, 1.3 does use wp pages, but that doesn’t mean that it will work with just any theme. All it does is tell WP to use a certain template file when a certain page is called. The markup is still BP template files.This also only works with root level pages like directories.

I think BP 1.3 will use WP pages and will work with any WP theme

Wow I agree, that’s a great theme and it gives me some really interesting ideas for use with BuddyPress!

Hi Tung,

To add a signup button to your site you can add the following code to your index.php file:

`<input type="button" id="sign_up" value="Create an Account!"
onClick=”window.location=’/register'”>`

The rest of your “problems” are not really problems because your register page works fine! It does not give me a 404 and I can sign up for your site.
You can add the same code above to your sidebar.php theme to add the signup button there

First, you have to ensure that you have BuddyPress installed and activated.
Next, make sure you are correctly typing in the BuddyPress function you want to use.

Without knowing what function you’re trying to use, it’s hard to give further advice.

bp-custom.php might be too early to try the remove_action.

Try adding the snippet in your theme’s functions.php file.
