== In my dashboard, to update the buddypress plugin ==

@jloc14 to clarify, when you update BuddyPress plugin to BP 1.5+, you have to go through the installation wizard as seen here https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/ As you can see, you do not move any page at all nor have to use Filezilla

== the next step was to move the template files as in each page, register, members, groups, forums, etc. ==

Which most probably means that you are referring to BuddyPress Template Pack plugin instead. What WordPress theme are you making compatible with BuddyPress? We have “template-packed” some WP themes already, check if your theme is in the list – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes

@aprioristic You got it right, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your SMPL theme folder in server during the compatibility process.

If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /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
`

Did you go through the Installation Wizard? Check dashboard menu BuddyPress > Pages and double-check that the Register component has a Page generated/selected for it.

Hi, @jafar1374 the design you’re showing is not from the Default BuddyPress Theme… I think you’re using a WordPress Theme or another one. Could you re-check that and give us more information in order for us to help you? Regards!

I haven’t tested it, but have a look at this:

Buddypress Group Documents for BP 1.5 and WP 3.3.

== I would like to be able to track the members and the dates that they lost the love one ==

@enjoywellbeing You can create profile fields for a) date when their loved one was born and b) date died. Then make the fields required.

== I am looking for an easy theme to use for this purpose ==

I would suggest using the default bp-default theme while you’re building your site and adding plugins so you can know that if anything goes wonky, it could very well have been caused by the plugin, etc.

When you’re close to launching the site, you can use a WordPress theme and use BP Template Pack plugin to transfer BP template files and JS goodness. If you need assistance in fixing alignment, check out the list of WP themes we’ve “Template-Packed” so far.

@kozmica check if your theme has been “template-packed” already. If not, then follow the steps on that page at the top. If you need assistance, post back here.

I believe https://profiles.wordpress.org/coenjacobs is also working on another plugin that does this. Keep an eye out.

@fmeroney Disclaimer: the following plugin is compatible to WP 3.1.4 but it’s still working in my WP 3.3.2 and BP 1.5.5 install. Read the installation instruction https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-edit-user-profiles/

@abbas667 Please clarify “wordpress ver 3.2.2” is a typo? It’s actually wordpress ver 3.3.2 ? Otherwise, that’s the major blocker.

More of the outdated plugin issue and possibly a theme issue, not sure. The best thing is to set up BuddyPress and check everything out using bp-default theme without other plugins activated. When everything’s doing as expected, only then do you change to custom theme and add on plugins (only those which have been upgraded to current WP/BP versions). That way, you’ll know when anything goes wonky and can fix it asap. Only my 2 cents.

The secondary avatars are registered within the functions.php
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L554

To remove it for groups, add this to your child theme’s functions and it will override the parent themes version.

function bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars( $action, $activity ) {
switch ( $activity->component ) {
case 'friends' :
// Only insert avatar if one exists
if ( $secondary_avatar = bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar() ) {
$reverse_content = strrev( $action );
$position        = strpos( $reverse_content, 'a<' );
$action          = substr_replace( $action, $secondary_avatar, -$position - 2, 0 );
}
break;
}

return $action;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_action_pre_meta', 'bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars', 10, 2 );

@katharinentheke I use SyntaxHighlighter Evolved and it’s working well in my bp-default child theme – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/ and how to post code at http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/
