    I have installed Buddypress docs and also Events Manager (which integrates with Buddypress) - both are supposed to work within the Buddypress framework without any editing / code hacks (I have tested on theme twenty twelve and it works without a hitch) but when I install these, the plugin generated pages break the theme - ie there is no styling on the page.
    I am assuming this is because Mikmag is setup to use templates differently? I understand that you don’t support third party plugins, but many plugins are setup this way and it makes the Mikmag theme unusable if I cannot get the page styling to work on these pages.
    I have included a link below and would appreciate any advice you can provide to get the theme styling working on these pages:

    This is the home page for the group:

    These are the pages where the styling breaks:

    I can answer this for you, Rebecca, as I ran into the same problem. You need to open the following file:

    wp-content/themes/MikMag/groups/single/plugins.php

    Look for the following three php functions:

    <?php //get_header( ‘buddypress’ ) ?>

    <?php //get_sidebar( ‘buddypress’ ) ?>

    <?php //get_footer( ‘buddypress’ ) ?>

    The first is at the top of the page, the other two are at the very bottom. These functions call the theme components that are missing, but are commented-out by default in MikMag… for reasons passing understanding. Delete the two slashes that appear before the word “get” in each line of code. Save the file, and all should be well.

    I spent many frustrating hours with the same problem before I stumbled upon this fix. I’ve notified ThemeDutch of the problem… Hopefully they’ll fix it in an update so others don’t have to go through the same frustration.

    Best,

    David.

    thank you SOOOOO much David - you have totally saved the day! Worked like a charm. I totally agree with you in that I hope Theme Dutch make these fixes in their next version release. Thanks again
