Interesting comment @Asynaptic (although it should probably be in its own topic thread).
We have been building an intranet site using BuddyPress over the past 3-4 months. We have 40+ members currently piloting it. We are a week or so away from opening it up to our entire organization of 200+ people.
One of the major issues I have been focused on is site speed and performance. I have been wrestling over and over with it to understanding if it is inherent in BP or has something to do with our server. We host about 60-70 other sites on the server and none of them perform as slowly as BP does.
I’ve done everything possible including all the recommendations at http://www.buddyboss.com/buddypress-speed-and-performance/
It runs better, but we still get feedback from the community every now and again on how slow it is loading some of our static pages as well and the dynamic ones.
I am using BuddyBoss Theme which allows wall posting.
@shanebp – a coincidence – I’m using the BuddyBoss theme! But, it doesn’t have a ‘Latest Photos’ or ‘Videos’ section on the Member Profile pages.
@Henry – I actually already have the BP Activity Plus plugin installed and need to uninstall it because the BuddyBoss theme already handles that stuff pretty well (just paste the URL in). Unfortunately, uploading photos/videos doesn’t provide what my client needs. They want a site visitor to be able to go to a member’s profile page and see photos, videos, and music that the member specifically posted for this purpose. In a nutshell…this client wants MySpace : (
The BuddyBoss theme has a ‘wall’ similar to facebook
Look at the plugin called s2Member, that will help integrate a Paypal Membership payment to the signup process.
Make sure though you read up first how to set this up – I think there was an article on the BuddyBoss site at one point.

@gajananh999 It is possible. It’s rare to find something that’s not possible 
The real question is “how difficult?”
The BuddyBoss commercial theme has implemented a feature that attaches an upload button to the activity updates post form – SEE: http://buddyboss.com/
Theirs also afew plugins that adds photo uploading, such as BP Albums – SEE: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-album/ but they are independent of the activity updates post form.
WP/BP versions? Change to bp-default theme and see if issue is corrected. If so, you have to contact your buddyboss theme author for assistance.
== Anybody in buddy boss support forum answered me about that. ==
Not sure what you mean. But since BuddyBoss is a premium theme, you should be able to get free support from the theme developers at http://www.buddyboss.com/forum/
This is probably a problem with my theme (BuddyBoss). Within the li class=”load-more”, it’s missing the span class=”ajax-loader”.
Where is this loaded? That should give me some clues as to where to find the problem.
Thanks!
@DJPaul, BuddyBoss theme. Site is livingwithhm.com.
I figured it out… it was an issue with buddyboss theme… thanks for your help mercime!
thanks Paul… yeah It’s buddyboss….
This is because the dir-search class is set to position relative. Just take out the position:relative for div.dir-search in wp-content/plugins/buddyvents/css/events.css on line 1.
Hey Guys,
I am having trouble with the @gregfielding technique. I’ve tried the 3 steps of getting the form on the home page but i simply receive a: HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error). I am using the buddyboss template. Any ideas?
Currenty I have copied the HTML from mywebsite.com/regiser and I am using the form along with the form tag:
<form action="” name=”signup_form” id=”signup_form” class=”standard-form” method=”post” enctype=”multipart/form-data”>
When the form is submitted I am taken to mywebsite.com/regiser and I receive this error:
“Are you sure you want to do this?
Please try again.”
With the ‘Please Try Again’ Linking back to the home page.
Any idea how I can resolve either ?!
and this pops up in my dash Recently an error occurred while creating the CSS / JS minify cache: Path “/home/hvhamco1/public_html/jasonbrodbeck.com/wp-content/themes/buddyboss_/buddyboss/style.css” failed realpath().
ahhh i had on a buddyboss child theme and it wouldnt show up at all with that, thanks is there a way to place to code somewhere else to make it work with child theme? and last time it would disable html and i would have nothing but words and images. no style for my site about 10 mins after activiating code, with the bp_init will that fix it?
@ad33lx This issue would be better addressed by the developers of the premium plugin and theme developers in their own fora..
@mercime i’m using the buddyboss theme. I ifgured out the problem to my first question…it was just taking out the code in the archive.php file
If I’m not mistaken BuddyBoss require you to click a join link. The box you refer to is the login form.
You can add “Blog” page in BP-compatible themes much like how you can do this in a regular WP site – http://www.nathanrice.net/blog/creating-a-blog-page-with-paging/
If that doesn’t work for you, contact BuddyBoss theme authors as they would know if there were any blocks to creating the “Blog” page per instructions above.
outstanding, writer, you are the man. that has been fixed. i’ve had that issue before and called my host and they had no idea lol, so im glad to have that solved. i will talk to the creator of buddyboss about my other issue. thanks again!
You might want to inquire of your hosts support why this is happening as it’s not that desirable on a member login site
`503: Service Temporarily Unavailable
Too many IP addresses accessing one secure area!
Please contact Support if you require assistance.`
As for the issue this is simply one where you need to get stuck into the CSS it’s the job of the front-end developer to ensure cross browser compat and there are no plugins that will do this for you, as you are a web developer I guess this falls down to you however I see you have actually used a pre built theme ‘buddyboss’ so you might want to speak to the authors and see if there’s a fix they can provide.

Please check out http://www.buddyboss.com. Our theme has a built in Facebook wall out of the box. It’s the real deal, much more Facebook-like than even buddypress.org.
