@benzine You need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your Paediatric theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your Paediatric theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
`
with the following:
`
<?php if (get_option_tree('blog_layout_sidebar', '')) { echo '
‘; } else {echo ‘
‘;} ?>
<div id="post-” >
`
Then, in each of 16 files, delete the BP Templates’ Page titles where found (usually found in index.php files within BP Template folders) since the BP titles are generated automatically during the BP Installation Wizard and you don’t want duplicate titles in one page. Be careful with the activity/index.php file.
Save files.
Hi, thanks for your kind reply. I appreciate, but that completely removes the adminbar (including the Buddybar). I want to remove the WORDPRESS admin bar alone from non admins, but NEVER the Buddypress adminbar, which I want to have visible at all times…..
Possible?
Thanks!

Place this in your childthemes functions.php just after the opening php tag:
//Removes BuddyBar from non-admins only
if (!current_user_can(‘manage_options’)){
define ( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );
I’ve developed my own theme, I just copied the files provided into my own theme, then added a simple div tag in header-buddypress and closed in footer-buddypress to encapsulate it inside my existing css blocks
if I don’t create these two files buddypress will look funny
sorry for the confusione about my sentence above, I meant I’m not using a third party theme, I’m developing my own and embedding buddypress into it with BP Template Pack
other than the issues mentioned above, my buddpress and wordpress installation are working fine; the duplicate wp_head is not really giving me serious issues (apart from that redirect problem at the moment), however it’s wrong to have repeated js and css in a page
Issue is resolved when bbPress sitewide forums is deactivated. Posted in bbPress trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1951
You would *think* BP doesn’t touch XMLRPC at all, but here’s the scenario…
Pre BP 1.6x – works fine. Windows Live Writer connects and works. JetPack can connect.
Post BP 1.6x – With BP activated, Windows Live Writer cannot post to WordPress. You have to disable BP before JetPack will connect correctly – gives error about XMLRPC. So, something that BP is doing when enabled, locks XMLRPC.
I’ve reported this to the JetPack folks and they are checking into it.
Thank you, I suspected that was the case.
Created ticket for the duplicate forum posts issue above https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4524
@sooskriszta check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-media/ by rtcamp; not to be confused with the other BP Media hosted on Google
Hi Paul (and everyone else),
I noticed a file and code about default WP profile:
In file ‘profile’ there’s a line called ‘Display WordPress profile (fallback)’ and in the same folder (Profile) there’s a file called ‘profile-wp’ with all default WP profile fields in it.
I’m not a programmer, but is it possible to adjust those files so default WP profile fields are displayed in members profile? What do I have to adjust?
Guido
Thanks for confirming.
I’ve discovered BP 1.6.1 has a problem with topics not appearing in group forum lists when WP is set up to use a persistant object cache. I’m using the APC object cache plugin, and I’m 99% confident it’s occuring on one of our production memcached environments, too. Investigating.

This is for ALL BP users, please contact Joost but obviously be polite and gracious in submitting your request.
== I have tried uninstalling buddypress, but it didn’t even show a registration page after that. ==
@swagcannon change to Twenty Eleven theme and deactivate all plugins. Then check your registration in basic WP install. If that doesn’t work, try to re-upload WP files manually – via FTP/cpanel/filemanager etc. and check if registration works. If that doesn’t work, please go to https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting for assistance
== I installed and activated BuddyPress after importing all the content from my previous CMS and none of the posts show up in the activity stream for the appropriate member. ==
Because those Posts/activities were done before BP was activated, BP was not able to “record” those posts in the activity stream. New posts from this time shall be recorded in the sitewide activity stream as well as respective members’ activity streams. As for the plugin updates, it’s up to the plugin developer.
Sorry, I meant to mention that this is a multisite install and the activity is really not there, on the backend. (It’s not a theme problem.)
Hey @Mercime! Thanks for checking back!
I need child-like instructions as I am still learning wordpress…but I promise I am trying really hard!!! Where do I go on the dashboard/admin panel to access “wp-content”? Under settings? Appearance? I don’t see anything that says “wp-content” on the admin panel….
Sorry for such a stupid question, and I appreciate your help!
Any idea why the plugin is creating its own user_meta and options tables, and not using the standard WordPress tables for this?
The issue was with an earlier installation of BuddyPress. It was a matter of reinstalling WordPress. Everything is working well now with the exception of the avatar cropping, lol. Thanks for your help mercime!
@waiyea As mentioned above, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your zenon-lite theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your zenon-lite theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
`
with the following:
`
<div id=”post-“>
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to `
// Titles Of Respective BP Page Templates //
`
Save files.
I bugged @yoast twice on Twitter, once a couple of weeks ago and once just yesterday, looking only for a way to simply turn OFF his plugin for anything in my /member-directory folder or deeper.
I figured it’s not worth me being a pest, so this morning after finding yet another new discussion here, I decided to cycle through SEO plugins until I found one that worked –
this leaves my Buddypress title tags intact – HOOray –
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gregs-high-performance-seo
I kept a few notes and was going to blog about it (and still might) but Gregs High Performance SEO does appear to work alright with Buddypress,
If i poke around I can likely figure out autogen on the description tags too, because the plugin DOES insert a blank one, whereas none of the others did anything for the desc tag.
Unfortunately, the author hasn’t put out a new one in almost a year, but at least my long running issue of no unique tags tags is solved for now 
@waiyea I see that you’ve created a child theme of https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/zenon-lite
Looked over zenon lite, this is to let you know that you will have to change 16 BP files transferred to your zenon lite child theme folder during the Appearance > BP compatibility process. I see that the parent theme’s default page.php has right sidebar, then you also have page templates for sidebar on the left and full-width page. Which among the three layouts did you want for all your BuddyPress pages?
