@newmember01 you need to install/activate the BP Template Pack plugin to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. Then you have to go through the BP Compatibility Process. A MusicLife theme that looks very much like your WordPress 40005 theme has been set up for Step 3 per https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

@sb0n Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your yoko theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

@Virtuali — thanks your comment worked for me — I was having the same problem as @cmroybal. Reinstalling wordpress would have been awful. I did have to uncheck enable forums for that specific group though and then re-enable it after deleting the specific group forum file in the database. Thanks a bunch!

If your trying to search activity, I use this (https://github.com/sbrajesh/bp-searchable-activity) which adds an “activity” option in the buddypress dropdown search.

I added it in a comment on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4469, but I can do a separate one for the activity button if you like.

Hi @ashokgolusu, please let me if got any plugin for sharing posts inside buddypress.

What do you need the profile fields for? Seems like WP_User_Query would do the job perfectly.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User_Query.

If role is stored as an xprofile field, you might want to look at BP_User_Query. Haven’t used that class yet, but it might do what you want.

If it’s just first and last names for your drop down – you can fetch those from the default WordPress fields / calls.

Is ‘role’ stored as an xprofile field or are you mapping across to WordPress roles? If the latter, you should also be able to achieve with the built-in WP functions.

What is AMU? Some type of import script? If so, make sure that the FIrst Name and Last Name is filled in when importing the user and BuddyPress should pick it up.

To test, try adding a new user from the WP Users screen:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Users_Add_New_Screen

Make sure to fill in everything except “Website”.

@robert-tramontano in case you change your theme, we have a list of template-packed WP themes with step-by-step instructions listed https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

== My hosting vendor offers WordPress install through SimpleScripts service. ==

Do not use webhost instant WP scripts as they have been problematic for BuddyPress as well as WP Multisite installations -> https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-and-server-requirements

Backup DB and server files, then start from scratch. Drop DB, upload WP manually via FTP and intall WP.

In the meantime, all BP-compatible plugins listed in our plugin section are hosted at WordPress.org https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=buddypress

From the WP codex:

`Hook to WordPress
After your function is defined, the next step is to “hook” or register it with WordPress. To do this, call add_action() in the global execution space of your plugin file:

add_action ( ‘hook_name’, ‘your_function_name’, [priority], [accepted_args] );
where:

hook_name
The name of an action hook provided by WordPress, that tells what event your function should be associated with.
your_function_name
The name of the function that you want to be executed following the event specified by hook_name. This can be a standard php function, a function present in the WordPress core, or a function defined by you in the plugin file (such as ’email_friends’ defined above).
priority
An optional integer argument that can be used to specify the order in which the functions associated with a particular action are executed (default: 10). Lower numbers correspond with earlier execution, and functions with the same priority are executed in the order in which they were added to the action.
accepted_args
An optional integer argument defining how many arguments your function can accept (default 1), useful because some hooks can pass more than one argument to your function. This parameter is new in release 1.5.1.`

You would need to change the priority

I read here: http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2012/06/19/buddypress-1-6-beta-1/ that BP 1.6 is supported on WP 3.4+. I had 3.3.1 installed (the one that’s in the Ubuntu 12.04 repositories). Upgrading to 3.4.2 fixed the issue.

One solution would check the mod_rewrite module in Apache is on. This deals with the permalink problems.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

@wcten you’ll need to wrap the HTML structure of the page around the content of this file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.1/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/activity/permalink.php which would be in your server wp-content/themes/yourthemefolder/members/single/activity/permalink.php

If you used the first method for Step 3 (changing 16 template files), then copy over the revision for the top part of the files and replace ` ` Next, copy over the revision for the bottom part of the files and replace ` `

== I looked in the messages php files and did not see any width adjustments ==

In many cases, one only needs to adjust 16 template files listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles which have the major HTML containers for the content of all other BP template files. As you will see, the message templates are not included there because the messages content is contained in the members page structure. In some cases, one only needs to create two files for theme compatibility. Come BP 1.7, you won’t even need the BP template pack plugin anymore as theme compatibility is being built into the BuddyPress plugin itself.

Have you brought this to the attention of the one who fixed your BP template files? What WP theme are you using? Do you have a screenshot of the issue compared to other “tamed” BP pages?
