activity/index.php = open it up with a text editor. At the very top of the file,
replace:
`

`

Note that I did not include “ at the top of the file and therefore did not include “ at the bottom of the file.

Save /activity/index.php file and do the same on the remaining 15 files as listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles
… except for /registration/register.php where you do the same at the top of the file but at the bottom of the register.php file, the replacement is:
`
<?php if (get_option('professional_integration_single_bottom') ” && get_option(‘professional_integrate_singlebottom_enable’) == ‘on’) echo(get_option(‘professional_integration_single_bottom’)); ?>

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();

jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save all and upload BP folders with revised template files to server wp-content/themes/professional/

Just to clarify
– Was “The Morning After” theme activated when you installed and activated the BP Template Pack plugin and ran Appearance > BP Compatibility?
– Did you use the first method (16 template files change) or the second method (header-buddypress.php etc) to fix alignment? https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

Open up TMA’s header.php, page.php and footer.php, copy source of each and post to pastebin.com. Click submit and post the generated URL/s here.

The current version of BuddyPress requires WordPress 3.2 and higher; see https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/

I think v1.2.7 is the last version that supported WP 3.0; https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.2.7.zip

I would strongly recommend that you upgrade WordPress.

Thanks for your response @mercime.

I am still confused about how to tell from a plugin’s page whether it is really compatible with 1.5. Looking at one plugin at random at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-management/ that supposedly passed, it’s page says compatible up to Buddypress 1.2.8. Does one believe the “passed” or the 1.2.8. If it’s only good up to 1.2.8, is there any way to tell how actively it is maintained and when it might be updated (other than noticing who the author is, perhaps)?

A number of the plugins showing “failed” show a date of August, 2011. Is there a planned update to the status of these plugins?

It also seems that only some plugin developers specify a Buddypress compatibility version at all, which seems problematic.

I think we are drifting away from the topic title, but this website would ideally make it easier for users to know the status of 1.5 and its plugins, rather than having to gather incomplete information from multiple sites.

Hi mercime ~ thank you

I put : http://socraticmama.com/feed/ into the Google Reader subscription box & your solution works perfectly, but it doesn’t solve the problem for those who now newly subscribe to SocraticMama. The problem is I will have to tell each new subscriber to enter http://socraticmama.com/feed/ manually into Google Reader. Is there any way to have my RSS feed, not my sitewide activity, as the automatic default for Google Reader?

Another poster had the same problem 6 months ago & a solution was provided by Mikey3D, but I don’t know how to apply the solution in my case:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/trouble-with-google-reader-and-sitewide-activity/
I can’t match it to the advice given by Mikey3D. This is because the terms ‘Blog Posts RSS Feed’ & ‘Blog Posts Atom Feed’ are not in my header.php ~ see here:

<html xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot; >

<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;; charset=" />
<title></title>

<link rel=&quot;pingback&quot; href=&quot;" />

<?php
if ( is_singular() && bp_is_blog_page() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) )
wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );

wp_head();
?>

<body  id="bp-default">

<div id="header">
<div id="search-bar">
<div class="padder">
<h1 id="logo"><a href=&quot;" title=""></a></h1>

<form action=&quot;" method="post" id="search-form">
<label for="search-terms" class="accessibly-hidden"></label>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; id=&quot;search-terms&quot; name=&quot;search-terms&quot; value=&quot;" />

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;search-submit&quot; id=&quot;search-submit&quot; value=&quot;" />

</form><!-- #search-form -->

</div><!-- .padder -->
</div><!-- #search-bar -->

<div id="navigation">
 false, 'menu_id' => 'nav', 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'fallback_cb' => 'bp_dtheme_main_nav' ) ); ?>
</div>

Using the WordPress 3.2.1 and Buddypress 1.5.1 with default BuddyPress theme. I am also using the multiple groups forums

@jsibley I understand your concern.

For those who are new: whether to install BP 1.5 or not – I recommend installing this version rather than older version. BP 1.5 is a major update with a lot of bug fixes and new features. There was a list compiled by volunteers around the time BP 1.5 was launched https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ The list needs to be updated but clicking on most the links of the specific plugins will bring you to the plugin pages where you can see if these have been updated to latest WP/BP versions.

For those with older BP installs: whether or not to upgrade to BP 1.5.
This is a similar question that many Site/Super Admins have asked themselves or regular/multisite WP installs. Should they upgrade to the latest version of WordPress or not because they are dependent on WP plugins which have not been upgraded? Sometimes the Admins wait for the plugin to be upgraded before upgrading to latest WP version if they are assured such plugin will be upgraded. More often, Admins upgrade to latest WP version and find alternative plugin and/or sometimes paying for a premium plugin and/or updating the plugin themselves. Those are the realities in open-source software.

Platform is *supposed* to have BuddyPress support, so I looked at the CSS route via Firebug. Sure enough, some minor tweaks “lifted up” your sidebar to where it’s supposed to be.

Add this to your stylesheet to lift up the sidebar.:
`#buddypress-page #content {
float: left;
width: 600px;
}`

If you want to bring in the BP elements that extend the horizontal border, etc, add following to stylesheet as well to start:
`#buddypress-page #content .padder div.pagination { margin: -20px 0px 0 !important; }
#buddypress-page .item-list li { padding: 1em 0 !important; }
div.item-list-tabs { margin: 25px 0 20px !important; }
div#subnav.item-list-tabs { margin: -15px 0 15px !important; }
ul#members-list, ul#groups-list { list-style-type: none; margin-left: 0; }`

Add other styles to taste.

If the above solution works for you, please close the WP.org forum post as resolved. Cheers.

Per info, latest theme version is 1.8.7 https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/custom-community

Know that when you open up your registration for anyone on single WP or WP multisite, whether you have BuddyPress or not, you will get spammers and sploggers. Only “closed” or by-invitation-only sites have escaped this curse completely.

There have been different solutions using plugins and techniques to prevent this but these bots and humans spammers/sploggers are relentless. Search online and you’ll get many answers/methods

You could post in WP.org forums for that plugin as to why it’s causing that issue with BuddyPress. In the meantime, if you need sample content for your site, you could download test data which the WordPress Theme Review Team use to check out themes submitted to the WP Theme Repository https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Unit_Test

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/ ?

You might be interested in this WordPress theme instead:

@junglejinge you need to wrap your code within backticks (`) the symbol between the parentheses for short blocks of code. But for large blocks like the page.php source code, use pastebin.com as aces mentioned above

BP compatibility process for Graphene Theme

A. After you activate the Graphene theme, install and activate BP Template Pack

B. Go to Appearance > BP Compatibility and go through the process till you click Finish. Do not disable the Template Pack’s CSs nor JS. You’ll see this in frontend [before you make the changes, the regular page and the component page]

It’s totally unlike what you have currently at http://www.meetinbradford.org/

Note: this theme has many options which may or may not work with the modifications placed below. In case the following exercise does not work, please contact the graphene theme developer and refer him/her to this post.

C. Download the 6 BP folders which were transferred to your graphene theme folder in server down to your computer hard drive. Because of your theme’s HTML structure, you will need to use the first method for fixing alignment on 16 files within the folders you downloaded. Those 16 files listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#tplfiles

Starting with activity/index.php open it up with text editor
At the very top, replace:
`

`

Save file. Then do this for the remaining 15 files listed in link except for registration/register.php where you do the same for the top portion of the file but at the bottom of the file, replace:

`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

with:
`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();

jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save files and upload the six folders with modified template files to your theme folder in server.

D. Styling modifications – you’d most probably want to tweak some styles that come with bp.css. Check out style.css mods used in twenty theme as guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/

For 99% of themes, you can use any WordPress Google Analytics plugin and it will work for BuddyPress!

Thanks for testing the trunk version!

Your scenario only occurs if javascript was disabled or if there is a conflict in the javascript. Are you using a custom theme? There’s a chance a plugin could also be intefering with the javascript.

Deleting activity updates when javascript was disabled was recently fixed in trunk:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3706

If there are any other links that are broken and not reported, please post them on Trac:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

WordPress plugin pages usually show the compatibility version as set by the plugin author.

Recent date can be viewed by clicking on the “Development log” link on the plugin page’s right sidebar.
eg. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress (view the right hand sidebar for the link)

For status updates, you’ll have to either:
– post on the plugin’s support forum
– find the author’s website / Twitter account and ping that person.

For plugin compatibility, check out this codex page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/ (this might need to be updated)

To update this thread, basic profile privacy is currently being worked on:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3695

It will most likely be a plugin before it is included within the main BuddyPress core code.
Timetable for release (if I were to guess) would be late this year / early next year.

You can delete them manually if you are the site admin by navigating to the group in question. Then click on the “Admin” tab and next, click on the “Delete” button.

Or try a group management plugin like:
