Installing BP and creating new pages?

    Dear Forum,

    It appears that when you want to install BP you must also install a separate page for each of the BP functions. Is that correct?

    It would be preferable to have an option to not have to create additional pages and perhaps put BP into widgets that could then be located where you want them. So for example, instead of having a separate page for active members, be able to just have a widget in a side bar showing active members. And of course for any of the other BP functionality that are currently forcing page creation.

    Does anyone know if that is possible?

    Many thanks!

    Is that correct? YES !

    The rest of your topic, even if respectable, is a bit due to your inhabitude of BP i guess. And probably also of some WP usage around pages.
    You can create as many pages as you want with WP. The difference between a page and post in WP is tiny, but very important. Both are post, but not with the same type ($post_type->post and $post_type->page). All this is detailled on the WP Codex.

    BuddyPress is a plugin and use his component pages only for internal puprpose – because WP need them to work with BP… and conversely!

    BP is shipped with some widgets, including a member’s widget with 3 filters letting you do exactly what you discribe.

    For other custom use of buddypress, you can search for dedicated buddypress plugins on the plugin repo.
