Thank you @johnjamesjacoby, good news indeed
In reply to: [Resolved] Display username instead of full nameYou’re welcome. Thanks to @r-a-y

Then as nexia mentioned above, that is a custom job. BP is network-activated i.e. by default for all sites of a multisite installation.
One way you can prevent BP in main site or secondary site from importing data from all sites is by marking e.g. My Blog in Settings > Permalnks – “I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors” or even choose additional options with https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/more-privacy-options/

Do you mean you want to delete BuddyPress? https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/deleting-buddypress/
== I have 40 entires as custom post types in a custom directory lists. ==
Supposed to be that Custom Post Types could be exported in Tools > Export from old site and then use Tools > Import WP WXR in new site. I haven’t had the occasion to test it yet, but per this WP trac, it’s supposed to have been fixed already https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14306. The best bet would be to check it yourself in a test install or in your new one at the other domain.
== I had no idea Fantastico was so bad, are lots of people finding holes in it? ==
It should be outlawed

@rossagrant shucks, before you mentioned that changing usernames/passwords affected all other themes, I was going to write that you should get theme support from @Bowromir again

Seriously though, there’s a silver lining to discovering about the perils/shortcomings of Fantastico this early in your installation – knowing never to use it again for another developer installation as @nexia said. There are many who have posted their woes in WP.org forums. Shaving off a few minutes of uploading WP manually, creating a database and installing WP is not worth the hours wasted on a shaky foundation set up via Fantastico.
At this stage, it’s a blessing you only have 4 members a few groups etc which you can recreate later on. So it would come as no surprise that I would recommend starting your installation from scratch – clean and solid – after making DB and server files backup (just in case). Contact your webhost tech support on how to delete WP and Fantastico files properly. There’s one topic in WP.org forums which gives a clue but no actual solution https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fantastico-problem?replies=1 so you need your webhost tech support on this one.
In reply to: use buddypress as a template for a pageYou could be right. http://ithemes.com/support/pre-sales-and-other-inquiries/buddypress-builder/?value=buddypress&type=1&include=1&search=1&ret=all
Having said that, just curious at what stage did the integration fail? I assume that with the Builder, after setting where you want your sidebar/s and content, you would be able to get the HTML going.

Then you would have to hire a programmer to create a plugin which extends wp-united to integrate with BuddyPress or to create one yourself.
In reply to: Fresh New WP + New Buddypress gives 404Deactivate BuddyPress and BP plugins and change to default twentyten. Permalinks should be resolved before installing BP.
Have you searched online for ISAPI rewrite and WordPress? This looks like the ticket http://www.helicontech.com/cms_articles/wordpress.htm or you could post in their forums.
WP Codex has some info for IIS servers https://codex.wordpress.org/User:ringmaster/IIS#Configuring_Permalinks
In reply to: [Resolved] can’t open group page@VirtualityReiki Great. Glad it’w working out for you now.
In reply to: [Resolved] can’t open group page== when i click on a group it redirects to the groups directory ==
Confirmed. My initial suspect is the BP Group Hierarchy plugin. Deactivate that and see if you can edit groups. If that doesn’t work, then deactivate all BP plugins except BuddyPress and see if you can now edit groups.
In reply to: Buddypress upgrade 1.1.2 to 1.2.8— everything REALLY looks bad —
As mentioned above, BP themes used in BP 1.1.2 are no longer compatible with current BP version. When you activated bp-default theme, it should look something like http://testbp.org/ and that looks good and clean.— Er. I would certainly have stepped it through into 1.2 first, then the latest version —
@DJPaul, very true. I would have recommended point by point upgrade of BP and WP if it was not “after about a year on mothballs” per @tmcandle ** blush **In reply to: Buddypress upgrade 1.1.2 to 1.2.8== Buddypress was not there nor was the section to configure it. ==
The Super/Network Admin has a separate new panel in WP 3.1. Click on Network Admin link in upper right hand corner and you’ll find the BuddyPress button in admin menu.
== OK but the site was totaly broken ==
Deactivate all plugins and change theme to default WP theme. Know that many BP plugins and themes from way back 1.1.2 are not compatible with current WP/BP versions.
== Do I need to upgrade a number of times ==
Nope. Just upload BP 1.2.8 and WP 3.1 manually i.e. via FTP or cpanel, etc. Access wp-admin, then go through the upgrade process. Btw, curious why not start from scratch?
=== syntax error …. on line 1 ==
open up your bp-custom.php file and make sure at the top that there’s an opening
`<?php`
without any space or line before that.At the bottom, make sure that you have a closing
`?>`In reply to: AdviceOk. just checked, and just noticed YAPhotoblog plugin is good to WP 2.9.2 only. To resolve issues with that plugin, you should go to WP.org forums https://wordpress.org/tags/yet-another-photoblog?forum_id=10#postform use same username and password to log in there.
Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change theme to bp-default theme. Activate other plugins one by one and then your custom theme which I believe needs to be updated.

In reply to: Forum themesIn reply to: changing the core /groups/ and /forums/ slugs?@nanchante if you have groups, members, etc., enabled for your BuddyPress installation, then we need to have the slugs there for the permalinks to the component pages. Otherwise, madness will reign

If you just want to rearrange navigation or to highlight priority in the way the different components are rendered in a) main navigation or b) member pages or c) group pages, then there are other ways to resolve that.
In reply to: Add Link to Header Imageso you removed
`<a href="” title=””>
`
The easiest resolution is to return a portion of it in original location in your theme’s header.php
`<a id="my-logo" href="” title=””>
`
– upload transparent image with height and width of your logo in header image and put that in img src abovePosition the link image over area where where the logo in header image is in your style.css
For example:
`#my-logo {
height=100px;
width=300px;
position:absolute;
left:30px;
top:10px;
}`Adjust to taste.
=== move the main navigation menu down in the theme BuddyPress Default 1.2.7. ===
Create a child theme bp-default, make revision in child theme’s style.css file. CSS of main navigation which include Activity, Forums, Groups, Members can be seen from lines 125-155 in this file https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css#L126
