    Here is my website: http://350vietnam.org. Have a look before helping me to answer questions :)

    I’m not using BuddyPress compatible theme, so when i successfully activated Buddypress on my theme, I have trouble when not see the Sign up link on top of the page like in the Buddypress page. Besides, I don’t see any widget named Sign-in box in the widget area, so i can’t make it appear on the page. Could you tell me how to edit the Top bar to add a Sign up link, and how to modify the theme to add a Sign-in box in the sidebar like yours.

    And finally, how to create a registration page like: http://buddypress.org/register on my site, which should be http://350vietnam.org/register. At present, it’s a 404 error page.

    I know I asked a little bit too much, but this is really necessary to my site. Thank you!

    Hi Tung,

    To add a signup button to your site you can add the following code to your index.php file:

    <input type="button" id="sign_up" value="Create an Account!"
    onClick="window.location='<?php bp_root_domain() ?>/register'">

    The rest of your “problems” are not really problems because your register page works fine! It does not give me a 404 and I can sign up for your site.
    You can add the same code above to your sidebar.php theme to add the signup button there :-)
