@manueldo, I’m using a child theme for Canvas from Woo.
I’m so busy this week with something else… I’ll update to 2.7.2. probably on the weekend. I’ll keep you posted! 😉
@Mark … I tested it with Twenty Fifteen WordPress Standard Theme and the problem happens. Then it is not properly a theme problem
I use the woothemes Canvas Theme release 5.9.3 and 5.9.15 (the latest).
To make work properly rtmedia was necessary add a fixing in the child theme functions.php and it worked properly:
// BuddyPress - Fixing for rtMedia
function rtmedia_main_template_include($template, $new_rt_template) {
global $wp_query;
$wp_query->is_singular = true;
return get_page_template();
}
add_filter('rtmedia_main_template_include', 'rtmedia_main_template_include', 20, 2);
In any case, if with the standard wordpress theme the problem happens and then it could not be a theme problem, then rtmedia could have some conflict with another module.
Anyway, I will open an account on the rtmedia website and i will open a ticket, adding screenshots of the problem.
Kind regards

Hi,
– WordPress 4.4 – Upgraded from the previous release
– BuddyPress 2.4.3 – Upgraded from the previous release
– No customization in buddypress core
–
I have added a new post where I explained all the things in a better way, giving all the details about wordpress, buddypress and the plugins. But I added it 2 times but in both cases it was not published, I don’t know why.
In practice is the Filtering that is not working for any user that is not admin. My admin account works properly.
Another thing that happens is that keeping the Activity Stream page opened, the bar that says “Load Newest” appear also if there is no new post in the stream.
I tested using the default WordPress Theme Tweenty Fifteen but the problem happens also there.
About the theme used. It is Woothemes Canvas 5.9.3 and 5.9.15 . Never had problems with these themes using BuddyPress.
The only customization that I did for BuddyPress are just CSS tags and when I upgraded to the new wordpress release and to the buddypress latest release, everything worked properly between buddypress, wordpress and the theme.
About the plugins, I didn’t changed them until now. I will make a test deactivating some plugins.
What is the reason that make you think that can be a plugin?
Kind regards.

This is my second BP install. The first one works fine. I’m using the same theme Canvas by Woo. No plugins right now. I removed BP then reinstalled to no avail. The top menu shows 4 links: registration, groups, members and activity. I’m missing Login/logout. I looked in the appearance/menu settings and noticed that on my other install there is a panel just for BP menu items. That panel seems to be missing on this install. These 2 items seem to be generated by BP so I have no idea how to make them appear. I also commented out all my custom css but that didn’t do anything. The site I’m using for BP is in a subfolder of the main site. I created a new WP install inside the subfolder, activated canvas and added BP then I plan to just link to it from the main site. here’s the link. http://www.huguenotyc.com/hyc-members/
Thanks in advance for any help. BP is a great plugin! Chrome 43.0.2357.81 imac 10.9.5. (on Firefox even the WordPress top band is missing).
Read your theme documentation.
Also here about premium theme and what you can expect as help from here in such a case.
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/
Find this in your theme style.css file and replace color:white to something else.
a.button, a.comment-reply-link, #commentform #submit, .submit, input[type="submit"], input.button, button.button, #wrapper .woo-sc-button
-moz-appearance: none;
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #428bca;
border-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);
border-radius: 3px;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
box-shadow: 0 0 0 0 #888;
box-sizing: border-box;
color: white !important; /* <-- change here */
cursor: pointer;
display: inline-block;
font-family: inherit;
font-size: 1em;
font-weight: 200;

}

Not multiblog that I can see – I have installed twice and still missing “Register” and “Activate” pages. All help displays settings I can’t see. Irony is I have a constant spammers registering as WP users, but I can’t find a way. I have Woocommerce and “Canvas” theme active, but have deactivated both with no change in outcome.
hi @roddaut,
don’t thought to much, a theme can influence over all a site, including the admin. This happens in 90% of the issues handled on this forum.
Thought the latest Canvas was 2014.10.14 – version 5.8.5
@mercime Interesting… I used this child theme and have continued with my own modifications.
Canvas and BBPress fix (WooThemes Canvas Child Theme)
What do you think? I hadn’t even considered Canvas not being compatible. I will send Woo a ticket.
What about Genesis?
Thanks!
Andrea
@canadadre Last time we checked, Canvas was not compatible with BuddyPress. Have you checked with woo if it supports BP now? cc: @henrywright
Canvas by WooThemes. Thanks!
Here’s the plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/rating-widget/
The developer said: “seems like you are using the standalone version of bbPress … we only support BuddyPress’es bbPress forums.”
I don’t have any group forums, as they’re not necessary. Using most recent version of WP & BP under Woo’s Canvas theme. Thanks!
@djpaul not sure if i am high jacking this thread but can you please confirm, in my group forums when i click on subscribe or add to favorite i get redirected to the groups page when i use the buddypress theme. When i use canvas woo theme or any other themeforest theme i get 404 error for the same action.
I expect to stay on the forum thread even after i click subscribe or add to favorite ….is this a bug in 1.7 and yes i see the same behavior of redirecting to groups page in 1.6.4 too. I am using latest version of bbpress and wordpress
Last time I checked, Woo Canvas theme even with the BP Template Pack doesn’t work with BuddyPress… JS conflicts. Please check theme author’s forums if they have even resolved this issue.
Best way to test your BP install is to use the BP Default theme to check if everything — group creation, member registration etc — is in working order before using another theme.
Re S2Member plugin, have you searched or asked at the s2member plugin’s forums? I’ve seen some pointers there about limiting access there before.
Great news Nick!
You can see in my recent post, we fixed a similar solution for Canvas 5 from WooThemes.https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/
Your problem imho is that your theme is hijacking the content area in a way that prevents the new bbPress code from working. As such, the solution would be found most likely in your theme’s page.php or similar, where the default archive pages are created.
Cheers!
Spence.
What have you attempted when you say it “doesn’t merge well”?
Have you started the template pack process as outlined in the BP codex guides, if not that’s where you must start.
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
if the theme is too awkward to integrate with BP then choosing a more compatible theme is wise and there are many that have been run through the template pack process and listed in the codex for you to choose from, alternatively Woo do produce a theme or themes? that are BP compatible you might want to consider one of those?
http://www.woothemes.com/2011/11/canvas-buddypress-gets-a-revamp/
If you can wait for BP 1.7 to be delivered then that will ease the process as it is theme compatible in that it will run with any well coded theme on activation.
Lastly I’m sure @mercime will help if you’re really stuck as mercime has with other themes but please bear in mind that this is a relatively complex process and time consuming.
You need to install/activate the BP template pack plugin to make WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. I don’t know if the JS conflict has been fixed with Canvas already, but here’s what we tried to work out before https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/woo-canvas-child-theme-customization-and-ajax/
EDIT – at end of that page http://labzip.com/shop/canvas-child-theme/ which claims compat with BP. I would suggest before any purchase that you make sure it’s compatible with latest BP and WP pages.
I increased the memory limit and still the same problem. I am using wootheme’s Canvas theme, a compatible theme. If i switch the theme back to the Buddypress theme, it all works.
@pkmcilroy there are AJAX/JS conflicts with BP and Canvas Theme https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/woo-canvas-child-theme-customization-and-ajax/ Near the end of the topic, someone posted a link to a premium Canvas child theme which has BP compatibility. I will only suggest that if you’re going to purchase that child theme, wait till it’s been updated for BP 1.6 which will be coming out pretty soon.
I am having the same issue with the sidebar appearing in the footer in the Canvas theme. How can I get it into the correct place please
@caf12 sorry, Canvas theme is a different beast to make compatible with BP altogether 
We did some template pack compatibility in this thread https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/woo-canvas-child-theme-customization-and-ajax/ but the ajax issue with Canvas (no problem with other themes from woo) is not resolved.
@mercime Thanks so much for the help. I have it all in there and it’s all looking great: http://chipyela.com/members/. My only issue is still the AJAX/Javascript. I’m stuck. On Members page, try Order By and the AJAX cog just keeps spinning.
I don’t know much about AJAX and Javascript other than I know there can be conflicts. I don’t know how much you know about Canvas, but it’s a powerhouse: lots going on with all kinds of features. I’ve tried:
— Made Canvas main theme (didn’t work),
— Made other WOO themes active (then AJAX works),
— Turned off any feature I could find in Canvas, (didn’t work),
— Even deleted any JS file I found in Canvas (didn’t work, then put them back),
Any ideas what it might be? Well, I guess we know what it is: a Javascript/AJAX conflict, but any ideas on fixing it? I use Canvas SO MUCH and I’m just getting into BuddyPress and I would love to get this working. I’m sure with the end of support at WOO for Canvas BuddyPress (for which the AJAX didn’t work either, BTW), it’d be great to have a Canvas theme working with BuddyPress.
Any ideas are welcome! Thank you so much for your time.
@musicdesigns @likoma created a child theme of Woo Canvas and used BP template pack plugin. What I posted above are the instructions for template pack, and it’s done.
