The admin /dashboard settings can be ignored – it adds a menu link (“Example”) to the member’s page where you can send the High Five to another member. I’m not a coder, but I will look into the example and try to adapt it. There […]

3 come to mind right off the bat:

Comet Chat seems to work out of the box on BP, but it comes with a pricetag: http://www.cometchat.com/buy
Bowob Chat has both free and premium versions, but the free one comes with ads: http://buddypress.bowob.com/

Take a look at http://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/, it’s roughly the same idea.

@TheAlchemist It’s a solid idea for an enhancement for the next release. In the interim, and if you know how to code with PHP, take a look at: http://achievementsapp.com/developer/add-support-for-a-plugin-non-custom-post-type/

I just replied to your query at bp-tricks
Here’s the same answer: bp-custom needs to go in your /plugins/ directory, not /buddypress/
Hope it helps! 🙂

The code snippet works just fine in functions.php. That’s good news for a theme designer: no worries about a theme overriding a user’s custom configurations in bp-custom.php.

So if you did that try typing it exactly as shown instead of copy and paste. Not sure if that’s the issue though, but just trying to help. 🙂

Did changing your settings work? I have the same problem, and changing the settings so that anyone can register didn’t fix the problem. I still don’t have a way for new users to sign up.

@pcwriter

any advice?

Looking at the source of your page, the opening div is nowhere to be seen.
Did you inadvertently delete <div id="sidebar" class="col-right">?

@thealchemist

Make sure registration is enabled for your site.
For single WP install, go to ‘Settings’ > ‘General’ and check ‘Anyone can register’.
For a multisite install, go to ‘Super Admin’ > ‘Options’ and select an option at ‘Allow new registrations’.
