https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4242 (which you know about, since you posted the bug report. Thanks!)
If you’re using wordpress 3.3+, you can use the wp_editor function in your buddypress powered theme. For example, the is the textarea for posting reply for group forums in BuddyPress Default theme located in /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/forum :
`
`
Change it to
`
`
Where the first quote (‘Type here …’) is the initial content for the editor (You can just leave it as ” if you don’t want any initial content) and the second quote (‘reply_text’) is the id of the editor.
By default, wp_editor will use the default TinyMCE editor that comes with WordPress but you can change it via a plugin e.g. CKEditor For WordPress
@psanvito
I have used Shopp in the past, very good support and a reliable product.
Also mentioned above ‘S2Member’ looks perfect for BuddyPress websites
@b1gft copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/forums/forums-loop.php into child theme folder/forums/forums-loop.php – then change value in line 61 for the poster avatar and line 68 for the groups avatar.
Haven’t ever used GoDaddy. From what I’ve heard, that hosting is not kosher for BuddyPress nor WP Multisite.
== please create an account to test a couple things ==
@finallyanime Do provide a test username and password which you can delete later.
1. if you’re referring to blog posts, then you’d need to install a subscription plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe2/ or via feedburner etc.
2. What’s wrong about the blogs section specifically? You need to have a multisite installation for that
== Doesn’t look like “create new topic or group” is possible ==
3. Did you see the link to create a group beside title of the Groups Directory page? Or go to http://mysite.com/groups/create directly ? Create a new topic for Group Forums or Sitewide Forums?
@ktown28 I would look at the comments.php file and customization of comment form in functions.php. You could also install the Theme Check plugin and the Log Deprecated Notices plugin to check if your theme is up to WordPress standards.
@ktown28 change to bp-default theme and see if issue is corrected. If not, could be a plugin conflict.
hi @djpaul ,
separate ajax.php functions do not work as they should at the search page of “unified search” by Brajesh (without adding of this exit()
. In my case bp_dtheme_new_activity_comment() returns full search page (with css from bp-default) below replies if I try to comment on activity, exit(); fixes it.
I don’t see the members loop in your code.
I see this:
`$retval = “
Okay, at least you can “hide” or remove the sidebar with some CSS:
/*Hide sidebar*/
#sidebar { display:none !important; }
/*Full-width posts and pages*/
#custom, #container, #post-entry {width:100% !important;}
/*Full-width BP components*/
#custom #container #content {width:100% !important;}
#custom #container .padder, #custom .directory #container .padder {width: 96% !important; padding:0 2%;}

It seems this is being caused by the WP Email Login login plugin. @r-a-y is an author so hopefully he sees this.
I’ve made a post in its forum here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-email-login-this-plugin-allows-non-activated-users-to-login?replies=1
Wow, impressive site! Nice to see another great BuddyPress site online!
Take a look at
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/
Find your activity-loop.php, probably somewhere like:
/wp-content/themes/your-theme-child/activity/activity-loop.php
then try this:
`

Also, we’re using a foreign language version of WordPress and BuddyPress which both have completely translated mo files but the email came in English. Could this be related or another issue?
It is WordPress 3.3.2 multisite installed in the root directory. We have a custom theme but based on bp-default without many modifications, certainly not any to the mail functionality except we had tried the Welcome Pack plugin but the activation link did not appear in that email either. This problem has occurred even without any other plugins running but BuddyPress.
It seems to be a variable that should be created called $activate_url in /bp-core/bp_core_filters.php . Is there a way to add a filter there or somehow create another email to take precedence over this one?
We’d like to keep email activation but if it doesn’t work we will have to manually re-send emails or disable it? Both seem like bad solutions, such a basic feature should be working without any tweaks to the system.
What does this mean “matches the page” ?
You need to know the field_id (numeric) of the profile field(s) you want to match.

Sorry I meant Multinetwork, i was given the below: but having some troubles… I’ll keep slogging away.. thanks
1. BP MultiNetwork – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-multi-network/ which requires WP MultiNetwork or Networks+
2. BuddyPress Multi-Network – http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddypress-multi-network-plugin-create-multiple-separate-social-networks-on-a-single-buddypress-install/ which you can use with Join Blog Widget plugin which you’ll find in the same site.
There isn’t such a thing as “BP multisite”.
As I said I’ve not used a multi-network so I don’t know the specifics. As I understand, your ‘child sites’ each need to be in their own network. You then activate BuddyPress on each.
Not separate installs. Not new sites created under the ‘main site’ in a regular multisite config. Multi-network basically gives you multiple multi-sites, all running from the same files. If you’ve already done this, try contacting the authors of the WP + BP multi-network plugins and see if they offer support.
Multi-network support in BuddyPress is still a pretty new feature and it’s not used by many people, which is why it’s hard to find someone who has the answer 
I don’t really need buddypress not to be installed on the main site anymore, I’ve found a suitable theme that will allow me to do what I want, so now I need the ability to have the following but the ability to have users login to one and be able to move between them all:
Main site = site1.com (buddypress theme/network)
Child Site = child1.site1.com (buddypress theme/network)
Child Site = child2.site1.com (buddypress theme/network)
Child Site = child3.site1.com (buddypress theme/network)
Question remains, do I need separate installs of WP and BP and if so how do I make it so users can move between them (so have one user database).
Or do I use wordpress network and bp multisite?
They are not there own sites, I used wordpress network to create all the subsites, are you saying I need to create separate wordpress and buddypress installs for all the subsites, then use multi-network to join them all? I’m happy for them all to be separate, I just need the user databases to merge so people can login to them all without logging out and having different accounts to login with?
