@infodebroekriemnl Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your esplanade theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your esplanade 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:
`
<article id=”post-“>
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to
`
`
where applicable, then move this to above `
` Just watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.
Save files.
If it’s just the link at the menu item, you can just edit the page name and slug in page edit panel, then go to Settings> Pages and choose the new blog menu name from select box and click on Save. You know you’d also have to change title of the Blogs Directory page in yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/yourthemename/blogs/index.php in this line
Re Events Manager plugin -> please go to https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager then click on the Support link and post the errors showing up when you activate Events Manager with BP on. Do provide more information about your installation for the plugin dev
Re “join group” link -> is this issue related to Events Manager? If not, have you checked whether this is a theme issue (change to bp-default) or another plugin conflict?
WP/BP versions? Single/multisite? where are you hosted? Windows/Linux?
@mercime I unistaled it all off my server and re installed and it did… NOTHING. I did that about 2 hours ago. i made a new page and all it did was change /activity to /activity-2 and i still get the same “not found” message!
Strange.
Try Pages > Add New –> Activity (in title and nothing in text area) then publish. Then go to Settings > BuddyPress > Pages panel and choose the newly created Activity page and click on Save. See if that works.
@mercime I went through the wizard already. on the page part i clicked create page at mysite.com/wordpress/activity/ but it never created one!
@villnoweric After activating BuddyPress, you need to go through the Installation Wizard https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/
Also, double-check Settings > Permalinks, it should be set to other than default permalink structure. BP requires “pretty permalinks”
I have a server set up tith phpmyadmin and i added wordpress and set it up and everything works fine. I then added buddy press and now when i go to mysite.com/wordpress it works but when i click on activity groups or members, it brings me to mysite.com/wordpress/activity/ but i dont have that folder in my server so i get a “page not found error. I will give any further details if needed Thanks
You can use a responsive WordPress theme and install the BP Template Pack plugin to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. We have a list of “template-packed” WP themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes. This is the route you should take if you’re planning to launch your site this month or early next month. There’s still BP 1.6.2 coming out sometime December https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap and no set schedule as to when BP 1.7 is coming out yet.
@ant01 BP Codex is your friend

I suggest that you use BP Default theme while you’re setting up BuddyPress and test driving to see if everything is working as expected. If all’s well, then you focus on the theme:
– create a child theme of BP Default theme OR
– choose a WP theme and install BP Template pack plugin and go through BP compatibility process. We have a list of “template-packed” WP themes at https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes OR
– choose a free or paid ready-made BP child theme OR
– choose a free or paid BP-ready/compatible WordPress theme
I have found a plugin that can do so. But it will work upto wordpress version 3.2.1 and BuddyPress 1.2.9 or higher. You may try that.

@modemlooper Thank you for your response.
Any idea about when BP 1.7 is coming?
Actually I am in a hurry and want to have the site(s) online within a week or so.
The sites don’t have to be fancy but need to be launched soon. I thought of choosing social theme because I am afraid of making lots of changes again if I choose a different theme later.
“BuddyPress 1.7 is coming soon and will work on any WordPress theme. If you are not in a hurry you might want to choose a responsive WordPress theme”
Are you saying that all the regular wordpress themes will work fine with buddypress/multisite/multi-network environment when BP 1.7 comes?
Are there any BP responsive themes that I can choose from at this moment?
Please advise. Thank you.

Hey guys,
@modemlooper
@mercime
I found the solution to the problem here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-cant-post-update-in-activity-stream. It turns out the button was always there, but in the bp.css file in wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack, around line 60, the button has a height of 0. you have to manually change the height to 40 or whatever you want.
It worked for me and my button is now there.

I have just installed Buddypress. However, i have come accross this issue…The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Members, Activate.
Anyone know how i can fix this?
Thanks in advance
If I create a new page ‘New Activity’ from Plugins -> Buddypress -> Settings -> Pages, it seems to create the page, but if I click ‘view’ from there, it goes to the non-existant /wordpress/new-activity
Looking under ‘Pages’ in the dashboard, I see that it created pages named Activity, Forums, Members, etc. However, clicking on the ‘view’ link takes me to an undefined URL like ‘/wordpress/activate’. I can edit the page from there; it’s blank. If I add some text, like ‘test’, it saves it, but when I click ‘view’, it takes me to the same ‘not found’ url /wordpress/activate.
If I look in the wp_posts table, I see the ‘activate’ page, with a guid of /wordpress/?page_id=9
Loading that url redirects to /wordpress/activate, which does not exist.
Did you by chance load your own jquery? Sometimes plugins block WP and load their own jquery. .on works if you are using the right version of jquery loaded from WordPress
Hi, I have a client site that is reporting the following error in Firefox :
`
Timestamp: 11/2/2012 4:21:31 PM
Error: TypeError: jq(“.visibility-toggle-link”).on is not a function
Source File: http://207.145.224.38/wp-content/plugins/buddypress//bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js?ver=3.4.2
Line: 812
`
WordPress 3.4.2
BuddyPress 1.6.1
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
I’ve just installed the BuddyPress plugin to my wordpress.org site. I went through the 5 or 6 steps for the set-up process and when I clicked on ‘Finalise and Activate’, I got this:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/thebrisb/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-functions.php on line 867
Now, whenever I try and access my site or the admin functions I get the above error message. I am relatively new to all this – so could someone please let me know how I can either:
(a) fix the problem outlined above so that BuddyPress works; or
(b) access the admin functions of my site so that I can deactivate the plug-in?
Any urgent help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
It just started last night for reasons I don’t know why. Buddypress now shows everything 4 hours off.
Like, if I click on members, and I am active right then, it will say “Active 4 hours ago” Then is will say “Active 4 hours and 3 minutes” so on and so forth. Everything is now showing 4 hours off. I double checked the time setting in WordPress and it is set to my time zone, and it says the current time.
I did some research and I set it to UTC -7 instead of a town but that didn’t fix it. It is very strange, cause I didn’t install anything, update anything, or really do anything, it just started. Any ideas? Thanks!
I can’t get the side bar or registration pages to work. My wordpress is installed in a subdirectory and not the root. Is this the reason that it’s not working?
Thanks.
this relates http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/08/12/custom-post-types-comments-and-the-activity-stream-in-bp-1-5/
but i’m not sure how to code the fix.
it’s probably a tiny little ‘false’ changed to ‘true’ somewhere — but where?
(or something like that)
best,
dainis
