Thanks @mercime I was aware of the widget but I prefer to have the same userbase across the network. I’ve been trying to find the function you’ve mentioned in the BuddyDev forums, but unfortunately no luck…
I haven the same question, and still haven’t found a solution.
@mercime, thanks for the reply, but the cat list is not the issue.
Here’s the beginning of the story: I have a common WP structure with 200+ categories, which are used for regular WP posts. I want to have additional functionality (like custom post type), but without cloning that tree – using the same cat structure.
So URL for a post in WP look like /parentcat/subcat/
And that additional “post type” URL shall be like /page/parentcat/subcat/
I would parse the URL and show the content for that subcat.
But when you try to get non-existent URL (I don’t want to recreate the whole tree, it’s really big), you get 404.
What can I use to make that /page/ template work, not 404 template?
== I’d like to develop a directory, which uses my site category structure, ==
@jishi this is more of a WordPress issue rather than a BP one. Create a Page Template and replace the_content with wp_list_categories or just search for and use one of the list categories plugin to generate what you want in the Page https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/categories
@raminjan install the Firebug add-on for Firefox, right-click on the element you want to change, then add the changes to your stylesheet.
The current styles for the updated message
div#message.updated {
clear: both;
}
div#message.updated p {
background-color: #8FF57A;
border-color: #80CF70;
color: #1A6A00;
}
div#message p {
background-color: #F4F4F4;
border: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
color: #555555;
font-size: 14px;
margin: 20px;
}
So use same selectors and change the property/value as you want it acoordingly in your theme’s stylesheet.
It seems like you’re using a 3rd-party plugin for the group forum editor. Please contact the plugin developer for support.
Here are a couple of editors you could try:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/u-buddypress-forum-editor/
https://github.com/boonebgorges/bp-tinymce
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rich-text-editor-for-comments/
Please note that I haven’t tested any of these.
You’re using an older version of BuddyPress Links. Please either deactivate that plugin or upgrade to the premium version of the plugin.
Then, try upgrading to BuddyPress 1.5.7.
If you’re upgrading from a version of BuddyPress 1.2, read this guide:
https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/upgrading-to-buddypress-1-5/
The main site is being used primarily as an organization website. There is a blog page, but for the most part, they are just pages filled with information utilizing WordPress so that the client does not need to use code to manage their website.
So what you’re saying is follow the steps that will allow the organization theme to play nicely with Buddypress?
@crispinr not only should you read content, but also the comments where @imath had recommended changes which @sbrajesh incorporated and then released as a plugin at https://github.com/sbrajesh/bp-searchable-activity

@mercime – Thankyou! Good to know that my scenario is not an error, just not current functionality.
My problem now is that I don’t know how to code 
I rely on adding plugins… If I understand correctly, the tutorial is how to create a custom plugin, which may be beyond me.
I know I just have to copy and paste the code into a text file, name it correctly, and copy the file(s) to the correct directory – but I don’t know what to call it, or where to file it – I’ll ask on the tutorial – unless you can tell me 
Thanks once again for your quick reply and help!
== I am using my own custom theme, along with BuddyPress Template Pack plugin. ==
Deactivate BP Template Pack plugin and change to bp-default theme. Is issue resolved? What WP theme were you using?
That’s a strange issue. Deactivate all plugins, change to Twenty Eleven then delete the BuddyPress plugin either via Delete link in Plugins Installed page or via FTP/File Manager. Then download and install BuddyPress plugin again then check if issue is resolved.
@ultimateuser userbase is separate by default but super admin and blog admins can invite users from other blogs and last time I checked it out, there’s a function posted in BuddyDev forums where you can have the same userbase across the network if you want it that way, OR allow the users to choose which subsite/s they want to join by using http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-join-blog-widget-for-wordpress-multisite/
Thanks @valuser – but I do not want to use this plugin as it requires another of 2 plugins, of which 1 is not being updated and the other is a paid plugin.
I was thinking of using http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddypress-multi-network-plugin-create-multiple-separate-social-networks-on-a-single-buddypress-install/ but on standard install this plugin will separate users for each subsite..
@sp12 a plugin can be as simple as 3 lines of code which you can add in your theme’s functions.php file to one as sophisticated as the BuddyPress plugin.
For a multisite installation, it doesn’t make sense to just add it to your theme’s functions.php unless the main site and all user blogs are using the same theme/child themes.
In your case,
1. copy the code Otto posted at stackexchange
2. open a text editor
3. paste the code
4. save file as > alphabetsites.php
5. create a new folder via FTP/file manager/etc. named mu-plugins inside wp-content/ folder
6. upload alphabetsites.php tol mu-plugins folder
afaik with bp multi network users are shared over all subsites and see http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/

“Also be aware that in WP (and BP) there is only one set of users across the entire install.”
Hi Paul, yes they’re all up-to-date:
– Akismet (2.5.6)
– bAll-in-One Event Calendar (1.
– BP Labs (1.2.2)
– BuddyPress Group Email Subscription (deleted)
– BuddyPress Twitter (1.2)
– Easy Contact Forms (1.4)
– Featured articles Lite (2.4.9.1)
– Google Analytics for WordPress (deleted)
– HL Twitter (2011.7.30)
– jQuery Colorbox (4.4.1)
– KK I Like It (1.4.1)
– Private WordPress (1.3.4)
– Section Widget (3.1)
– U BuddyPress Forum Attachment (1.2.1)
– WP Live Stream (1.2.1)
– WP User Frontend (1.1)
Could these have anything to do with the problem? I tried deleting/deactivating them all but those problems still exist.
The purpose would be to completely eliminate all Buddypress functionality from the root site. The client wants to link to the /community subdirectory from the root, but does not want admin bars or any of the associated features in the root.
Ideally, Buddypress would be entirely contained in the /community subdirectory. The admin bar and all its functionality would be here. It’s almost as if they were two completely different websites that were associated with one another, but also share a userbase.
Sorry, I’m just trying to explain this clearly. Before I commit the time to the project, I’d like to have a clear idea of what I’m doing and the best way to do it.
Let me know if you need more information.
@mercime Again, the problem I’m having is that I don’t see an actually plugin on that page, just some code. I ended up posting there for clarification.
@ladyglam the Blogs page you’re looking at is the Directory of user-created Blogs in your multisite installation.
Search for multisite recent posts plugin in WP plugin repo shows at least two
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/recent-posts-widget-plus/
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/network-latest-posts/
etc
@Roger Coathup said 19 hours, 47 minutes ago: “It appears you are already getting lots of support”
You still hold the same idea?
Did you use a plugin or did you edit the core code? I’d like to know!
