You can try setting the memory limit via wp-config.php first:

It’s currently not possible to have a forum without requiring a user to join a group. However, with the following patch, you can:

Re: second part of your question – read this:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/using-an-existing-bbpress-installation/Also, your external bbPress posts will not show up in the BuddyPress activity stream without a custom-coded bbPress plugin.
In reply to: [resolved] locate_template and child theme chaosYour problem with locate_template could be your leading slash.
Try without and see what happens:
locate_template( array( 'library/components/buddypress/buddypress-postloop.php'), true)locate_template() is a WordPress function, so any bug with it would be a WordPress issue.
In reply to: [resolved] locate_template and child theme chaosUse STYLESHEETPATH instead of TEMPLATEPATH.

Hi James,
Just set your front page as “Your latest posts”:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_SubPanelSee if that works for you.
In reply to: User blog creation with BuddyPress and WP3@uferrpi – You should try the latest version of BP with WP 3.0. You should be able to create user blogs without a problem.
Thanks Wayne. I’ve now put the snippet on Pastebin.
This currently isn’t possible.
Such a feature has been mentioned before and is on a list of requested features, so hopefully something will materialize in the next few months.
In reply to: Router for root componentsI’d be interested to see what you’ve written.
In reply to: Changing homepage and categories lookIf you’re using a child theme of the BP default theme, you’ll have to alter the index.php and archive.php files in your template.
Thumbnails require a plugin or using WP’s post thumbnail feature:
http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/new-in-wordpress-2-9-post-thumbnail-images/The layout is more of a general issue. Look up grid based layouts on Google and fool around with floats in CSS to do what you want.
1) You can control what is displayed on your home page by manually modifying the home page template.
2) Not sure what you mean here.
3) The bp-default theme has been criticized for throwing all the features of BP at the user. Features can be disabled in the BP admin area, as well as through a custom theme. Test out BuddyPress on the test site – http://testbp.org – see if it fits your needs.
In reply to: Get Each Blogs DescriptionThe issue also occurs occasionally on bp.org FWIW.
Clearing cookies like rossagrant mentioned fixes the issue temporarily.
In reply to: Facebook Connect with BuddypressI haven’t tested the plugin with WP 3.0, however some people are experiencing problems with it, but some say it’s working as well:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/415042
http://www.justin-klein.com/projects/wp-fb-autoconnectIn reply to: Facebook Connect with BuddypressSo it says page not found when you attempt to login with FB for this url – “/wp-content/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect/_process_login.php”?
Do you have all the files for WP-FB-AutoConnect uploaded?
Also in the plugin’s settings, there should be some options to enable an error log. Turn that on and see what it says when you attempt to login to FB.In reply to: How do I add buddyPress within my existing blog?I’d just stick to the first option. Unless you really insist you want everything to reside under the “forum” subdirectory.
You won’t break your blog. But just to be extra cautious, back up everything!
In reply to: Facebook Connect with BuddypressCan you try using the bp-default theme with the WP-FB-AutoConnect plugin and see if you have the same problem?
Also what page is it attempting to redirect to?There’s a ticket about this with a suggested fix by kunalb:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2000In reply to: Chat feature included out of the box?No, it doesn’t.
Some have had success with the latest release of CometChat – http://www.cometchat.com/ – which is quite close to FB’s footer chat.
Some other alternatives are listed here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/facebook-like-chat-plugin-for-buddypress/#post-36248In reply to: Add Profile to Blog PostsYou have blank spaces either at the beginning of your PHP opening tag or at the end. Delete them.
In reply to: Add Profile to Blog PostsYou’d need to hook into “the_content” filter.
Something like this in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php will work:
function my_hook_into_blog_post( $content ) {
if( is_single() ) :
$profile = PROFILE STUFF; // look into bp-xprofile.php and bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-templatetags.php to grab profile data$content = $content . $profile;
endif;
return $content;
}
add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘my_hook_into_blog_post’, 20 );In reply to: New Buddypress Groups design.. Group HierarchyA lot of people will be loving this plugin. Thanks for contributing, firetag!
Got a question, I haven’t tested the plugin yet, but in the installation FAQ, you say that no groups should be created before using the plugin. Is it safe to use on an existing installation with groups?
In reply to: How do I add buddyPress within my existing blog?Easy answer is install the BP Template Pack plugin. This will keep the look of your site while adding BP functionality. This will not add BP pages under the “forum” page though.

If you want everything BP-related including member profiles, groups, etc. to reside under the “forum” slug (eg. thecoalcity.com/forum/members/admin and thecoalcity.com/forum/groups/), you’d first have to deactivate Simple:Press, then you’d have to activate WordPress 3.0 in subdirectory network mode. Lastly, you could install BP on a sub-blog called “forum”.
This may be more work than you’re willing to do to set this up.
