That has been advised two posts up, please re-read and read the links. Creating a custom file named buddypress.php which is a copy of your themes page.php file will allow you to modify the markup directly so you can specify named get_sidebar() calls to include a new sidebar template file for BP screens only, however bear in mind how your theme deals with sidebar files and dynamic sidebars(widget calls) is something we have no knowledge of.
Even I have the impression that the bp-custom.php do not run!
I have tried several codes inside the file Placed in /wp-content/plugins/.
for example I try to set the landing page for the users to Profile:
define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );
or Change the default tab opened when looking at a group to forum
define( 'BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION', 'forum' );

… Nothing happens!
I am realy newbee with that stuff! damm….
same issue, please advise how to change this so I can use a sidebar on my buddypress pages, thanks!
>- The ideal, which I’ve not entertained (as it does not seem possible at present) is that the activity stream is retained but correctly hidden from users who are not members of the group.
Easy to do. Take a look at:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\single\home.php
>1. I don’t like customisations, the more we make the more we need to maintain and the more likely it is that an update will mess with one or more of them.
Do a template over-ride of home.php and you’ll have no problem with updates.
Hello:
I have installed buddypress in my wordpress website, everything is working fine and smoothly. But I have a problem, I don’t like the confirmation message after registration ; {You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address}
Please How do I change these messages
HI Mercime,
Thanks for writing back, things look in tune as you directed
But what I noticed is, there is no sidebar.php in my theme.
So whenever buddypress template call up a get_sidebar() it displays only the default sidebar.
Anyidea what to do when there is no sidebar.php?
I have to agree with @danbp’s rtMedia suggestion. It is one of the best media plugins I have come across. That said, I haven’t had the chance to use the Pro version yet.
You’re welcome @danbp. It appears that another fix is on its way and it is set to be included in 1.9.
These my fix and the official BP fix tackle the issue differently, but they shouldn’t conflict.
See #5219 for details on the official fix.

Hello All!
This is my first post to BuddyPress. I am not sure if I have a theme issue or a BuddyPress issue or even a bbPress issue so I apologise if I am in the wrong place.
I would like to have my groups go to their own Forum page and see only child forums under not the parent forum for the group. This is because Children will be using this site and I want them to only have discussions under the Child forums (the topics their Teachers have chosen). If they have the parent forum showing on the “forums” page, they will use that to start topics and be talking about all sorts of things – gulp! My site is at http://www.seendschool.com/forum
When I create a group I give it a forum and then I create child forums under.
I want the main parent forum to be a Category not a Forum.
Please see attached images to help explain.

I choose for the Forum to be a category.
http://www.designwebs.co.uk/images/withoutparent-forum.png
So the Forum page looks like this, without the “Parent Forum Option”.

But when I log out and back in I can’t see the Child forums anymore only that the groups doesn’t have a forum.

Thanks for your help – it is hugely appreciated 🙂
Hi mercime. Thanks for your reply. I was under the impression that bbPress (I don’t actually know what that is) is integrated into the new BuddyPress, so I should have it if BP is installed.
I’ve settled in at the codex you directed me to, trying to work my way from the very start. In the Before You Install section, it mentions ‘pretty permalinks’. But again, I don’t know what that is. In the Settings>Permalinks page in my Dashboard, there’s no reference to it. Searching for it as a plug-in doesn’t seem to find anything.

hi @dvize,
you making reference to documentation relating to BP 1.5. Many things have changed since 15 versions ! See changelogs here.
But you’re right, searching is a complex thing anyway.
To remove the header search box, you have 2 easy solution.
1) create a child theme and remove the form code who is in header.php
2) use CSS to hide the box
/* hide the header search box */
form#search-form {
display:none;
visibility: hidden;
}
hi @rukiar7,
avaible BuddyPress plugins are listed here.
As BP is only a WordPress plugin, you can use many other plugins aside, and depending your php skills, you can integrate or let them play more or less easily with BP.
Those WP plugins are here.
Maybe the only one actually who’s really integrated with BP, you have rtMedia for BuddyPress. Exist also in Pro version. Give it first a try with the standart edition and see if it is working for you.
Hi @samgeppi108,
wow what a video you did for such a common issue. PBCAK ! Sorry to say that, this IS working but you haven’t completely set up the right component (profile).
Now the good news. Take a breath man, you’re saved ! In 5 mn you can start your community 😀
Connect to the WP admin as super-admin. Click on Users on the left col, and select Profile configuration from the sub-menu.
This will open a window where you have by default only one group of fields named BASE. This group is the one showed by default on the register page, so new user can enter some information such as their name, and anything else you want to have in that place.
If you prefer to let them complete their profile skills after registering, you should create a second group of fields on the previous mentionned setting page. You cal add as many groups you want, with as many fields and type of fields you need.
Once done and saved, connect you as a normal user and go to the profile profile setting tab. You will see 2 tabs. Name and X, you just created. You can fill in the fields and save.
If you go on the profile tab, anything will be on !
Read here the documentation:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/ Users>profile fields
Keep the Codex in mind, because it’s the first place to go before coming up here to claim “it doesn’t work !” 😉 It does !
I’m sure this may have been asked before but I cannot find it.
I’m looking for an image gallery but NOT the kind that is only in buddypress profiles. I want just a regular image gallery that comes off an ‘images’ link on my websites buddypress users on my site can go through and like/favorite images and those images appear in their buddypress profile. Are there any plugins that accomplish this? Free or not is fine. I also need the ability to sort images by popularity and search tags on the images. Anyone know of any gallery plugins that can do all this? Even if you tell me there’s nothing out there that can do that it will be helpful. Thank you.
I am wanting to us ethe default wordpress search as well as soem advanced search plugins.
Buddypress overides teh search with a search if groups..
approaches like this are very complex: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/creating-the-sitewide-globalunified-search-page-for-your-buddypress-theme/
BuddyPress Global/Sitewide Unified search update for BuddyPress 1.5+
surely the override can be switched off.. this may mean i need to trash the whole buddypress thing
How can i delete my buddypress account?
upon further research I found these:

I’m playing with BuddyPress and watching my load times disappear. (I’ve been using Redis in front of APC and have been getting 0.002 sec load times), but with the new dynamic of having a “social site” CPU and memory are getting a workout. I can really see that this MUST happen and I hope you are an impetus.

I can’t believe this. Is this for logged in users as well?

@crazycoolcam
thank you for the fix. Works like a charm.
I opened a ticket about this. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5236#ticket
@mercime im using the bp template, installed wp 3.6.1 and buddypress 1.8.1 but even then i cant see any activity, any group, any members. also when i clicked new group in admin panel …com/groups/create gets as an error ‘page not found’. im very tired of this buddypress thing. why cant i see anything about bp even in admin panel gets me ‘page not found’ error. And i have to get done this plugin to morning. Should i gotto turn multisite on? Any help would persuaded.
@geistschatten — I don’t plan to remove it unless something stops working. I don’t think it hurts anything to set identical cookies more than once. I think it might just overwrite them.

@shubomb have you tried downloading another copy of BuddyPress and reinstalling in your localhost?
Seems to have helped here too! Just having a few of my members test it out. You leave the code in place permanently, correct?
