Open your theme’s header.php (or equivalent) and find the code for your main navigation. In your theme, you’ll find it in div id=”nav_row”. There’s probably a call to wp_nav_menus there. Add the following before the closing ul tag (should work 😉 ):

@infocms Open the file called style.css in your theme and look for “body” (it’ll be near the top). Modify the background-image & background-color properties to suit your theme. You could also check out themes that enable you to customize stuff with a few clicks in an admin panel. Just so happens I’ve built a couple 🙂 […]

That’s not a plugin, it’s a standard Buddypress widget. Look under “Widgets” in your WordPress backend and you’ll see the one called “Who’s Online Avatars”. Just drag that widget to your sidebar and voilà!

Try Advertising Manager. I’ve had no problems at all with it. It works like a charm and automatically recognizes most ad networks.

@airpilot The easiest way to set this up with s2member would be to go to the user’s profile in your WP backend and assign that member the “Role” of “s2member Level 4”. Then go to edit the page you want to restrict access to and, in the “s2member” section at top-right, select “Require Level #4” at […]

@eventfulsd I just tried creating an account on your site and believe I’ve found the cause of the discrepancy between subscribers and members: no activation email is received so folks simply cannot activate their accounts. Check with your hosting provider to ensure that your email accounts are set up correctly for WordPress (Buddypress uses the same […]

@airpilot

What you’ve described (create and assign custom capabilities per subscription type/level) is one of the basic features of a very powerful plugin called s2member. It can seem overwhelming at first (it’s huge!), but once you start playing with it and experimenting, you’ll see just how flexible it can…[Read more]

When logged-in, simply visit the Members Directory or the member’s Profile and click “Add Friend”. 🙂

EDIT: remember to also make sure “Friends” is enabled under “Buddypress” > “Component Setup” in your WordPress backend.

The a**hole above has created another user account with a variation of Stacy in the username. Can anything be done to block this schmuck?

Username “Stacy” is a known spammer who gives “advice” that is potentially harmful to your computer. It is not advisable to use the code above.

This plugin should get you what you want:

Once you’ve been inspired 🙂 , you can also check out some themes that are really easy to customize. Like Custom Community (free and premium versions) http://www.custom-community.themekraft.com/ or my very own BuddyLite (freebie) or BuddyBuilder (premium) http://buddylite.com/

@italiancroydoner I know I`m tooting my own horn here 😉 , but my BuddyBuilder theme enables you to allow user access to individual BP components and WP pages/posts depending on logged-in/logged-out status. It also provides an optional Site Lockdown feature with/without a Splashpage on the frontpage, and an optional custom redirect page if Site…[Read more]

Go to the group in question.
Click Admin > Manage Members > Remove from group (next to the member you want to remove)

Looks like spam… 🙂

@all The new BuddyBuilder v1.2 now includes over 160 customization options! (Geez… will it never end? Nope.) Especially fun in this update is the Header Image Rotator: you can display up to 8 images in random or ordered rotation in your header, complete with animated descriptions. You have full control over image display time; fade-in/out speed; […]
