@raminjan Let’s keep your problem in your thread. I think I replied earlier today.
@RehaugeW Are you using multisite?
There are 3 core developers; John James Jacoby, Boone Gorges, and myself. We all read and reply on the forums, but we also have a team of forum moderators who have excellent BuddyPress knowledge: hnla, r-a-y, and mercime. There are many others who regularly help out on the forum. Not everyone knows everything, and if the question is extremely technical or is a “build X feature for me” post, then that person might skip over that forum topic — which is fine.
Stepping outside the forums, we have a lot of contributions from people writing tutorials, talking about BuddyPress at WordCamps and local meet up groups, people writing patches, writing BuddyPress plugins and themes, submitting/managing bug reports and enhancement ideas, writing and improving documentation on the BuddyPress Codex, writing translations, helping other users in real-time in our IRC channel… and there are probably other areas that I’ve overlooked.
Lots of people are involved with BuddyPress. Everyone can be involved with BuddyPress. And someone will get to your question as soon as possible; if no-one does, feel free to post a reply on it to bump it to the top of the list after a couple of days.
On multisite, all user registration is tunnelled through the same place. This is a standard WordPress behaviour. So yes, they’d see the BuddyPress registration templates.
@jason — It’s something that could be built, but it’s a reasonable chunk of development work, which would need some thought and investigation.
I doubt anyone on the forum has done anything like this wrt blogs (certainly in a manner where they can give a quick answer on the forum). We’ve done similar things with the members directory (adding multiple filters), but it was considerable pieces of code and expertise.
In our case, we layered new functionality in / javascript etc., rather than trying to extend any existing function.
1. Which version of WordPress are you running?
3.4.1
2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install?
subdomain
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?
n/a
4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version?
n/a
5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g.
permalinks, creating a new post, commenting.
Yes, and it still is
6. Which version of BP are you running?
1.6 beta
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?
1.5 something
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones?
nope n/a no conflicts
9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?
Frisco BPChild theme
10. Have you modified the core files in any way?
Not yet
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?
nope
12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in?
nope
13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.
none
14. Which company provides your hosting?
Linode
15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else?
Nginx, fpm-php ubuntu
? This was really just a bump, I don’t think any of that info matters. My question is more of a developers question.
I’m about to give up on buddypress. They have something great going on, but how many devs are involved?
It must not be enough, or they need to get some forum people to help ping developers when something is up. Buddypress is good, but it’s so close to being great, and their 1.6 is getting back on a good track again.
My Question has no replies, and I’ve seen many older posts that are the same way. I wish there were a little more transparency into who does what around here. A “Meet the team” if you will, and a “Join our efforts” page really need to be showcased at the top….
@rogercoathup,
Thanks for your quick reply! I created a new site from the admin dashboard and added a post to that new site… bottom line, it worked–the notification showed up in the Activity Stream.
Another question: I used to be able to create a new site from the site’s front end. The admin bar does not have that menu item anymore. Any other setting to turn on? Thanks!
You’ll probably need to upgrade your BuddyPress version for compatibility with the latest version of WordPress.
Unfortunately, a number of look / feel aspects typically change when you upgrade BuddyPress (particularly coming from a relatively old version). It often requires developer support to upgrade and retain your site’s design.
Some questions that will help you get further support:
What version of BuddyPress are you on / were you on previously?
Which ‘off the shelf’ theme (if any) are you using?
If bespoke theme – is it a child of another theme – which version?
Thanks again @RogerCoathup.
I continue to phrase my need very poorly.
I know about functions, calls, etc. I also know where `do_action( ‘bp_after_sidebar_me’ )` is located…that’s how I honed in on needing to track it down.
Here’s what I need to do:
I need to get in the process when `’bp_after_sidebar_me’` is happening as a result of the `do_action()` call.
I need to add some hard coding when this process is taking place.
So it’s the location/file/script/doc (whatever it ends up being called) within WP that I am looking for when `do_action( ‘bp_after_sidebar_me’ )` is happening.
Continuing to dig 
Thanks a lot for the pointers @rogercoathup Greatly appreciated!
I’ve looked around the skeleton componenet a bit, and it seems manageable. Yet, this project has to be the best there is, so there may not be time for me to get familiar with this, sadly.
I’ll possibly drop you guys a line, with some more information, so that we’d perhaps be able to get an estimate.
Again, thanks a lot.

@michaeljdornan best place to ask is at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-multi-network wpmuguru does answer forum questions
Having said that, you can try this plugin which I know works with the other BP MultiNetwork plugin by sbrajesh http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-join-blog-widget-for-wordpress-multisite/
@mercime I have same kind of problem with registration form but mine is on the date picker for age it goes up to 2037 Paul said its difficult to fix this and I am kind of stuck can you please help?

@rehaugew
Re BP 1.5.6 re “nobody can register” -> do be more specific by listing the steps taken during registration to find out where the hiccup is.
Re BP 1.6 beta 2 re “missing uploaded avatar” -> were avatars working in your BP 1.5.6 installation? Where are you hosted? Is GD libary installed in your server?
== I didn’t see an option to re-run it. ==
If you’ve deleted the six BP folders from thesecretworld theme folder in wp-content/themes/thesecretworld/ , when you go to Appearance > BP Compatibility, you should see “Making Your Theme BuddyPress Compatible” page (Step One) where the button “Move Template Files” could be clicked on to re-run the process.
If it isn’t happening for you, download copy of bp-default theme to your hard drive then open up the six BP folders mentioned above and make the revisions posted. After you’ve done with all revisions, manually upload via (s)FTP/FileManager/etc. the six folders from the bp-default theme as listed above. Make sure BP Template Pack is activated,
well Chouf1 I have a same interest in this kind of plugin and I want my members to upload their videos so that the site gets updated in a table cells with videos is there any plugin for that?
@shanebp – How woould I make it username/activity?
@damler Cool. Just post in that thread should you encounter issues related to fixing the alignment so that we have all the easel BP compat information in one thread.
Ah, so. Thanks for posting back what the issue was
Try posting on the Jobs Board on this site, not the gallery: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/
Also, explain what it is you want doing with your site, some details about the work required, etc. It says nothing about that in your post above.
For details on adding a search form to a page, check out this documentation on WordPress.org.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Search_Page
To add your page to the main nav menu, visit Appearance.. Menus in wp-admin and configure your menu.
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/
And finally, the other page you are seeing is just the standard 404 page (page not found), which contains a search form by default.
Yes, this is standard behaviour with BuddyPress on a multisite install.
Enable site tracking in your BuddyPress settings.
Looks like @djpaul and I posted simultaneously!
Because no-one’s built one. That’s not a great answer because the question isn’t very specific.
BuddyPress 1.6 has better SEO built in, so hopefully that will go someway to address your concerns.
@ndugger I don’t know of a plugin that supports these permissions — so, you’d would need to get your hands dirty in the PHP code. I would suggest assigning WordPress user roles to members, and then in the group template files enabling / disabling the Join capability based on user role.
We (21inspired) have some plans with regard to photo albums, but they are a little way off.
