I’m interested in doing this as well. Would love to be able to add additional fields to a Group Profile besides the default “Group Name,” “Group Description”. A tool like the Dashboard > BuddyPress> Profile Field Setup would be awesome. I’m guessing the only solution would be to edit the current group admin form that […]

@sbrajesh excellent tutorial! Dig the site, BTW (I’ve got it bookmarked).

@bowromir looking forward to the edits for the BP default theme compatibility.

I couldn’t help noticing BuddyPress.org’s unified search feature. Love the idea of having a search form with no select options. The search results are also nice in that they display results from each section of the site. Is this coming to BP or is this a plugin of some sort?

As an aside, I came across this “sitewide” solution using Google Custom Search (not a bad option):

Google Custom Search for BuddyPress / WordPress MU

@apleating thanks for pointing us to the location of the template file. Easy enough to fix for a child theme, though it probably would have been better if the activity permalink page template followed the theme’s default template. Fix: 1. In your child theme create the following folders members/single/activity/ 2. Copy over permalink.php from the […]

Here’s what I’m trying to do: Site URL: http://example.com (I enabled sub-domains during install) I’d like the Admin Blog to show up with the “latest posts” at: http://blog.example.com Custom Homepage: WORKS – I created a custom homepage template and created a page called Home via the dashboard, which uses the homepage template. Under Settings > […]

@r-a-y Got it working! The instructions you gave are correct. I didn’t realize that both “Front page” AND “Posts page” under Settings > Reading had to be altered. I originally only altered the Front page.

Working solution:
Front page set to “Activity Stream”
Posts page set to “Blog”

Thanks @r-a-y!

@r-a-y So close… I followed the instructions: 1) Login to the WP backend, navigate to “Pages > Add New”. Create an empty, new page called “News” or “Blog” or whatever you want. This page will contain the blog updates. 2) Under “Settings > Reading”, set front page to “Activity Stream” and your posts page to the […]

Thanks for your feedback @mercime. I checked the default’s theme header, lines 73-77, and it points to “Blogs” not “Blog” singular. Clicking on the Blogs menu link shows me the blogs in the network — not the latest posts. I’m open to doing it the way buddypress.org does, but I can’t seem to get both /blog […]
