@bryceburk Actually, if you don’t need social networking, you can do this in WordPress alone. You can use custom post types or categories for countries and states and those are searchable. Users can add posts or custom post types from wp-admin or from front end via

If you want to use BuddyPress – there’s http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/ where you can created different forms which you can configure to contain what you need. Needs PHP and HTML/CSS skillsets for this though.
There’s also the premium Gravity Forms plugin which can work for both WP and BP.
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`

with the following (except for registration/register.php):

jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
Save files.
C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/yourcustomthemefolder/
D. Check out the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten for reference especially with removing the bullets and bringing in the extended width of the BP elements – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ – and copy these over to your theme’s stylesheet and adjust as needed.
@kristopherlouie You’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your custom theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.

@naijaping @brainiacwebdesigns
I found the plugin by buddydev is full working and compatible with 1.5+ Doesn’t this suits your needs? Hope it does! 
I am using Group forums.
Thanks
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Since a few pals here have tested and found some things to correct, I have addeded this correction (so now it works OK, yay!):
Below this:
<div id="message" class="info">
</div>
Add this:
jq('.pixelMonitor').remove();
jq(document).unbind('scroll');
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: END OF THE UPDATE ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Hi, all, @naijaping @abysshorror @funmi-omoba
I finally found the time to work on this. I’ll post a detailed explanation on my blog later but here it goes for you to be able to use it right away. I’ll maybe make a plugin of all this, and some code you’ll have to tweak will be overridden if you update your buddypress theme but by that time I hope this will be improved and I’ll post to you back with the updates.
So:
1) Edit the file: /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php (around line 38) This assumes you're using the default theme, if not, do it in your other theme file.
// Change:
<li class="load-more">
<a href="#more"></a>
</li>
// For this:
jq('.pixelMonitor').remove();
jq(document).unbind('scroll');
// 2) Add this at the bottom of that file:
<div class="pixelMonitor" style="width: 1px;height: 1px">
<div id="loadingActivityMessage" style="background-color: white;float: right;height: 16px;padding: 4px 2px 4px 39px;width: 100px">Loading...</div>
</div>
/* Auto load more updates at the end of the page when reaching the bottom of the page */
jq(document).ready( function() {
iterationAllowed = true;
function loadActivityOnScroll(){
jq("#loadingActivityMessage").show();
if ( null == jq.cookie('bp-activity-oldestpage') )
jq.cookie('bp-activity-oldestpage', 1, {path: '/'} );
var oldest_page = ( jq.cookie('bp-activity-oldestpage') * 1 ) + 1;
jq.post( ajaxurl, {
action: 'activity_get_older_updates',
'cookie': encodeURIComponent(document.cookie),
'page': oldest_page
},
function(response){
jq("#loadingActivityMessage").hide();
jq.cookie( 'bp-activity-oldestpage', oldest_page, {path: '/'} );
jq("#content ul.activity-list").append(response.contents);
}, 'json' );
return false;
};
jq(document).scroll(function(){
if ( Math.round(jq('.pixelMonitor').last().offset().top) > ( jq(document).height() -500 ) && iterationAllowed === true ) {
loadActivityOnScroll();
iterationAllowed = false;
setTimeout('iterationAllowed = true', 3000);
};
});
}); /* Auto load more activity block ending here */
Hope you enjoy it. In near future I hope I’ll have it as a plugin and I’ll post it here to let you know.
Some demo: http://www.horizontea.com/ (scroll to the bottom to see in action).
PS: I’m not saying this is bug free, but will not affect any data on your db or installation, it just tweaks the interface
Cheers!
PS 2: As soon as I check the “WP/BP” way to add this code to the file “automatically” (as a plugin) I’ll update it.
Yes it was the installation wizard I was trying to go through I would of remembered that if I could get into my dashboard my apologies. I am using the BP default theme with a WordPress dating plugin from datingsolutions.biz. It was the BuddyPress Template Pack and when it tried to move the files automatically it failed and showed me steps to do it manually, that’s why I used Filezilla.
@kristopherlouie before I do anything, you have a closing “ at the beginning and ending of your footer.php file – not kosher. Please confirm if issue is corrected with the removal of “ at the top of the footer.php file.
So I was able to remove the button for “leave group”. For those who may want to do the same just remove the following from line 50 of the group-header.php file in your buddypress theme.
`
`
Will post here if I figure out how to remove the other buttons.

@helpme2012 what exactly do you want to do with “Log in to Reply” – revise it or remove it?
Hey thanks for getting back to me, I tried changing back to Buddypress default and the same problem remains.

Which forum content – Group Forums (internal bbPress for BP) or the Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin)?
@wewetho I see organizational structures, slide presentations and the like. You’re missing an online donation page (or did I miss that?). Curious: Where is the main HQ of ESF located? Telephone number/s? Who or what companies sponsor this organization? Good luck.
WordPres/BuddyPress versions? I recall that issue was already resolved.
Wow! I finally found the solution after all kind of testing.
I’ll share my solution in case this helps someone in the same situation :
1. Open the forums tab in buddypress
2. Unsinstall group forums
3. delete the file bb-config.php from your wordpress root directory
4. uncheck the forums component from buddypress
5. Save the page settings in the settings tab
6. Save again the permalinks settings in wordpress
7. check the forums component in buddypress
8. click install group forums in buddypress forums tab
9. Go to admin settings of all the groups I created and click save again the settings
I’m not sure if all those steps are necessary, but I tried everything to make it work. hahaha
By the way I’m not using the bbpress plugin.
I telll you this because I read the codex about forum setup (https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/#bp-group-forums) I’m wondering if I should install it ?
After I installed and activated buddypress with ALL the components, the group forums where already installed when opened the forums tab.
@mercime I followed the buddypress wizard and I’m using the “BuddyPress Default 1.5.5”
Site URL : http://test.hardcorebattlefield.com
What type of test user do you need ?
== In my dashboard, to update the buddypress plugin ==
@jloc14 to clarify, when you update BuddyPress plugin to BP 1.5+, you have to go through the installation wizard as seen here https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/ As you can see, you do not move any page at all nor have to use Filezilla
== the next step was to move the template files as in each page, register, members, groups, forums, etc. ==
Which most probably means that you are referring to BuddyPress Template Pack plugin instead. What WordPress theme are you making compatible with BuddyPress? We have “template-packed” some WP themes already, check if your theme is in the list – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#template-packed-wordpress-themes
In my dashboard, to update the buddypress plugin the next step was to move the template files as in each page, register, members, groups, forums, etc. I uploaded the files and moved those folders somewhere and now I don’t see them. In /public_html/wp-content/themes I only see smallbiz, twentyeleven,twentyten, and index.php folders.
Links posted in comments on profile walls or activity stream redirects users off the site to view the links. I am using WP 3.3.2 and BP 1.5.5. I have a multisite installation but I am only running BP on a subdirectory. http://www.neosolcafe.com/community. I am using the following plugins.
Advance Code Editor
Buddypress Album
Multi Site User Management
WP-FB Auto Connect
WangGuard
Akismet
BP Profile Search
BP Activity Plus
BP Auotmatic Friends
BuddyStream Premuim
Invite Anyone
RS BP Activity Refresh
WP-PageNavi
WP Smush.it
Thanks
@mercime Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question, I appreciate your advice and I am going to set everything up like you suggested.
Before installing BuddyPress – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-server
1. Create a network
2. Decide now where you want BuddyPress to run primarily on. If BP is going to run subsite (subdirectory or subdomain site) then find the blog_id number of that subsite and add the following to your new bp-custom.php file. e.g. blog id = 2
`define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );`
If you want BP in main site, do nothing, that’s the default BP “home”
3. Install BuddyPress and activate. Go through Installation Wizard.
4. Use BP theme in main site or subsite per #2 above.
@indieconnect basically it means that there are no Group Forums tables created in your database. Check root of your install for a bb-config.php file. If there is one, double-check if the DB information there is the same as the DB info in your wp-config.php file. If DB is the same go again to BuddyPress > Forums and Install Group Forums.
We support 2 kinds of bbPress forums – Group Forums (BP internal bbPress) and Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin) – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`
`
with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`
`
with the following for registration/register.php:
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
Save files.
C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/smpl/
D. Check out the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten for reference especially with removing the bullets and bringing in the extended width of the BP elements. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and copy these over to your theme’s stylesheet and adjust as needed.
