@mairaj first and foremost backup database and server files.
There’s this info which I used late last year for one multisite installation http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/how-to-disable-multisite/ but haven’t had to use this year. To ensure whether said tutorial can be implemented for current installations, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
If you’re using Genesis, you’ll also need the Genesis theme compatibility plugin called Genesis Connect:
http://www.studiopress.com/plugins/genesis-connect
If you don’t want to use that paid version, you can try using the free BP Template Pack plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
Although, it should be stated that Genesis Connect is probably better suited as it should integrate with your Genesis theme seamlessly, while BP Template Pack will give you a generic look that might not gel with your theme and might require some CSS and template tinkering to get it just the way you want.
Try uninstalling / removing your CDN version of jQuery so it reverts to WordPress’ version of jQuery. See if that fixes things.
I finally worked up the nerve to download and install BuddyPress onto my WordPress site. I also updated my Genesis theme.
Now I get a message saying “You’ll need to activate a BuddyPress-compatible theme to take advantage of all of BuddyPress’s features. We’ve bundled a default theme, but you can always install some other compatible themes or update your existing WordPress theme.”
Now I am confused and more than a bit nervous, I don’t have a good understanding of this. Do I go into Themes and hit the Activate button for Buddy press?
If I do this, won’t I lose my Genesis theme from my site? What I would like to know is how I keep my current theme and add the Buddypress to it, so I can have a forum right on my website.
Thanks!!!!
Check if content of your wp-content/themes/pokereagle/members/single/forums.php file is the same as content of this file https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/forums.php
@ceric you can apply the fix to your installation if you’re up to it.
Open up wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php and make the changes per https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6247
Remove the line/s highlighted in pink and add the line highlighted in light green.
Save file.
I am confused. Is this fixed now on the ticket?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4215
Something for me to do?:
“Syntax that is being used seems to be: ‘html’ => ‘false'”
I have most up to date version of BuddyPress & bbPress & WordPress.
Go to http://www.pokereagles.com/members/pokerboss5/ and you will see it displays correct
Now when you click on Forums or just go to http://www.pokereagles.com/members/pokerboss5/forums/
You will see the display is all messed up. What do I need to do to fix this? Thank You!!
It’s a bug made by a change in 1.6; we are sorry, and we’ll fix it soon. Keep an eye on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4215

I suspect that it is this ‘fix’ that has broken the functionality: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4215
i use a modified version of salutation wordpress theme
I have just upgraded our BuddyPress installation to 1.6 from the last 1.5 release, and I have run the upgrade wizard. Unfortunatly after the upgrade all BuddyPress pages in the front-end just return blank (a 200 response but no body data, just the HTTP-header is sent). The non-BP parts of the front end and all of the back-end is still working fine. All pages are displayed when I temporarily switched to the default BP-theme, so it’s a Gantry compatibility issue.
Does anyone have any suggestion on how I can get Gantry to display the BuddyPress pages again? What might have changed in 1.6 since the last 1.5 release that can cause it? Any suggestion on how I can patch Gantry BuddyPress to get it to work again?
WordPress 3.4.1
BuddyPress 1.6
Gantry 1.24
Gantry BuddyPress 1.2
Gantry Template Framework 1.24
It’s not possible out of the box. You could set it with some custom code. You could also raise this as an enhancement ticket on BuddyPress.trac.WordPress.org, as it’s possible to do this with regular HTML tags, and there might be an argument for making this possible with BuddyPress, too.
If you need *some* data, use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-default-data/
If you need *tons* of data, use https://github.com/boonebgorges/bp-mega-populate
We use the second plugin to test BP against millions of bits of data.
That sounds pretty cool. Performance improvements to our database structure/SQL queries is something we started in 1.6 release, and have big plans for the future. If you’re willing and able to share your experiences with that aspect, check out https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4060 — or create your own tickets if you found good performance optimisations in other areas other than querying members
Did you write a script to migrate from Elgg to BuddyPress (something you could open source?) or was it very manual?
Glad you like it! Please can you report the notifications error as a bug on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org please — you can use the username and password that you use on this site to log in. Thanks.
Unfortunately not. It’s a good idea for an enhancement (to be able to get activities by date). Please could you post this as an enhancement ticket on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org? Thanks. You can use your username and password from this site to log into that other site.
Does BuddyPress work fine on the main site after the upgrade? What version of WordPress are you using?
We can add one for you. Please raise an enhancement request on https://buddypres.trac.wordpress.org. You can use your username and password from this site to log into Trac. Thanks!
If you’ve been unable to recreate the problem yourself, it makes it very difficult for us to recreate it. If you figure out how to recreate it, let us know.
@rogercoathup After going through the Installation Wizard where a Forums page with the “forums” slug was automatically created https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/bp16-install-03.jpg the first thing I do is to go to Settings > BuddyPress > Pages and select “none” for the Forums page and save. Then I go to Settings > Forums and make sure the archive base is “forums” and that in the BuddyPress section in same panel, made sure that the “Enable Group Forums” option is not checked. Open up the “Forums” page and I just add the bbPress shortcode/s etc
EDIT – djpaul, didn’t see you there when I answered roger’s post
