heyshamsw You will need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your thematic child 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
`
`
with
`<?php
// calling the header.php
get_header();
// action hook for placing content above #container
thematic_abovecontainer();
?>
<?php
// calling the widget area ‘page-top’
get_sidebar(‘page-top’);
the_post();
thematic_abovepost();
?>
So are you guys going to address this issue? I have the same problem on a clean install of wordpress and buddypress with no additional plugins active and have tried several themes. My site is http://www.websitesthatkickass,com/patrick/

More than likely it is a plugin. Try disabling each plugin one by one and keep registering and trying the activation until you narrow it down to the culprit. I had the same issue once and the culprit was the “Disable WordPress Updates 1.2 plugin.”
Hi,
I’m very interested in using Buddypress for my on-line community, so far it seems to tick all the box’s (and some) however there’s a couple of features my members will ask me for.
1. Mailing List Plugin. Is there, or does there plan to be a plugin to allow members to reply to notification emails. For example. In Facebook if I have a notification email I can respond to that discussion from my email account. The discussion is updated in Facebook without me logging in.
2. A decent file repository system. Could groups have file repository, space for uploading and downloading files (not attachments). Or, is there a decent WordPress public file management system?
Many thanks,
W.
Nor does it provide a text code in the email to copy and paste.
Example link that was sent out to users after importing them using CIMY’s User Manager: http://mediabridges.info/activate/?key=1a3a1499d5463bcc&e=1
The key is in the link, but it doesn’t place that key into the activation box. But apparently, it very much still activates the account. Because then a user just needs to reset their password and they’re in.
I’m using WordPress 3.3.1, BuddyPress 1.5.4 and WPMU Dev’s Membership plugin.
For some reason, when I log into the Buddypress portion of my WordPress multi-site, I am getting an error ONLY on the widgets page in the admin section.
That is, the widgets.php page.
Only on that page, the drag and drop feature of the widgets is not working. Not to mention the areas designated for the widgets – sidebars, etc. – are not showing up. Also, there is no Buddypress admin navbar at the top.
I suspected it was a plugin issue, so I deactivated most every plugin (save the ones which I have been using on other sites). That doesn’t seem to be the issue.
I am using the Buddypress default theme and running the latest versions of WP and BP.
I tried to use the Google Libraries plugin, as suggested by an older thread.
I’m out of ideas. Any thoughts?
Hello Everyone.
I have problems with my forum at the site. I have latest wordpress and buddypress. When i open forum page and post new topic i see “Sorry, there were no forum topics found.” and “Please pick the group forum where you would like to post this topic.”
Can anyone explain, why do i have those mistakes? I can not add any post in the forum.
I have (Installed) Forums for Groups.
If the pages loose their mapping, something’s been deleted or corrupted in the database. It could be a bug in BP (unlikely as I’ve not heard of anything similar), but I would guess more likely to been corrupted in the database or removed (accidentally or otherwise).
If your “backup” is still the hacked version, I hope you found how they got in. If you haven’t, you’re basically still hacked.
If your host thinks they have found a vulnerability in BP, please don’t discuss that aspect here, and send details to security@WordPress.org asap.
I am noticing that some comments/replies on the activity stream are disappearing… I know because I have seen certain activities that I know were commented on many times and the view them and only see one comment. Plus will get a notification that says “member1, member4 and others replied to this” and when I go there, there is only one comment…
Any ideas what is going on here? Using latest wordpress and buddy press 1.5.3
Hi yadigit
Many thanks for your reply.
I’m afraid I do not know the Avatar upload is controlled.
I have no special plugins.
The 2 plugins I use are BuddyPress template pack and bbpress plugin.
The avatar control is probably through those (except WordPress always has had avatar control so possibly it is inbuilt from my WP theme?).
I don’t know exactly as I am so new to BuddyPress!-sorry…
I am more concerned still about my BP site functionality and have several questions on that eg
1.How do I create a forum topic?
2. Why is settings>general returning a blank browser page?
In short how do I use BuddyPress and what can I do with it on my site given that I mainly want to use it as a forum?
I am grateful for more helpful replies, comments and feedback-thanks
Hi
I have been trying to add BuddyPress to my WordPress theme & site for a long time now and have spent more time this morning with this and this process has not been easy and I would appreciate help & feedback on my effort so far.
This is the link to my site: http://richard-dickinson.com/
BuddyPress is enabled to some degree on my blog but it does not seem to me to have full functionality.
Really the main thing I want to acheive with it is to use it for a forum for my site (though the other features could be useful).
I am grateful for help and advice & look forward to helpful replies-thanks
@heyshamsw we can only try our best to resolve such issues.
So what method did you try to use to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress, the first method which changes 16 template files or the second method with the xxx-buddypress.php files? https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
To help you evaluate which method is good for your WP theme, open up your theme’s header.php, copy code, paste code in pastebin.com, click submit, and post the generated pastebin.com uri here. Do the same thing for index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php.
Site URI with said thematic child theme would be helpful as well.
Ok, I didn’t see that sidebar with the analog clock earlier on the registration page.
You will need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your weaver theme in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them 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
`
`
with
`
<div id="post-” class=”hentry”>
`
By default, BP has only that ‘name’ profile field. All BuddyPress profile fields are separate and distinct from any field in the WP user profile. For example, creating a field in BP called ‘biography’ won’t have any link or relation to the WP profile field of the same name.
The “profile syncing” option in BP, I believe, only tries to take your BP profile field ‘Name’, and separating on a space, populate WP profile’s First name, Last name, and Display Name fields.
It looks like Custom Profile Filters doesn’t work in 1.5 – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/
Is there a workaround to remove automatic linking of profile information?
I am having the same issue. WordPress 3.3.1 and BuddyPress 1.5.4
Added the custom code from above to the functions.php – did not help. Cannot get the activation email to get sent and I have tried 15 different REAL email accounts including comcast.net, verizon.net and yahoo.net.
After Registration… it lands me on the Registration Complete message… tells me an activation email is waiting for me. But also have the Gravatar Upload available. If I try to upload anything, it just bumps me out, because I have NOT activated yet.
I am STUMPED! I will try deactivating ALL plugins but I am down to the bare bones now.
Someone please help… I am weeks over due and I thought I was just about ready to launch… now this!
Thanks!
If you don’t want to use multisite, the only other way is to use a single blog, and set each user up as Author role (so they can only edit and publish their own posters). Look at how something like Automattic’s P2 theme works (bpdevel.wordpress.com for an example).
is this the issue I’m experiencing?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3725
looks like fixed in 1.6, is it?
I went back to install the BuddyPress Template Pack plugin, and activated it. Now I get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring() (previously declared in C:xampphtdocswordpresswp-contentthemesbp-corporate_incajax.php:17) in C:xampphtdocswordpresswp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-themesbp-default_incajax.php on line 81
I can’t interact with the plugins page at all now. Any actions I take result in the error above. Please help!!!!!!
My WP is 3.3.1 and Buddypress is latest 1.5.4, I’m running a simple localhost installation
In BP profile fields there’s a field for “name” which I believe corresponds to WP login name… must be all lowercase and I assume can’t be changed (?)
I don’t see other fields such as… first name / last name / nickname and most importantly display name, actually I don’t see any other of the standard WP fields (anyway the others are not so important)
I might have messed up something while customising the BP profile fields/groups, on the other hand I don’t know how to allow users to select their first / last name and most importantly the display name
as a matter of fact, when a user updates his BP profile, since there’s no field for “display” name, his username becomes blank!! (it means if I try to get things as author name or get currentuser display name… I get nothing!)
disabling profile syncing of course can fix this (however I still have to re-enter manually name, family name, display name in wordpress backend)
is there any way to achieve a good synchronization using only BP profile fields?
also I would need this to support localisation
thank you
Hello sorry to hear you are having the same problem. Are you talking about if you sign out of WordPress? I have never even seen the register page for buddypress. Its not the same as signing up for WordPress is it?
My theme’s sidebar is not showing on BuddyPress pages.
I’m using the Thematic theme and customising using a child theme.
On BuddyPress pages it doesn’t seem to be calling the sidbar function, in this case thematic_sidebar(), but is calling the header and footer functions.
I’ve been searching forums for two days without finding a solution. Please help.
Setup:
Wordpress version 3.3.1
Installed in top domain in root
Fresh install
Wordpress was, and still is, working properly
Buddypress version 1.5.4 and fresh install
Buddypress Core Files modified as per instructions at: http://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
I’m hosted by HostPapa on Linux/Apache
Thanks in advance
@BlinkyBill01 – You can see the changes that will be in 1.6 here, https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5443
the red markings is what was removed and the green is what was added,
to find it in the future, it’s usually linked to by a core dev before the ticket becomes closed,
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2207#comment:22
…and for anyone thinking of using it on their site for a quick-fix, please note that it’s still in beta and being tested and not guaranteed to work… (theirs a reason it doesn’t get pushed out to live sites automatically)
Since it isn’t a critical bug but an enhancement i’d recommend waiting afew weeks until it’s out officially.
edit: ohhh, right. We are at version 1.5.4 you can see them here – https://buddypress.org/blog/
If the URL shows correctly on the sites/create page, but not on the /reigster page, that could be a bug in BuddyPress. Please would you report it to https://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org; you can use your username and password from this site. Thanks
