This codex might help you. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
Members profile templates is located in /members/single in the bp-default theme. also, css will help you list them 
Their’s lots of plugins that do that. Have a look at the plugin directory.
eg. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-private-community/
Or; code it yourself.

just paste the code into your bp-custom.php file and modify to your needs.
@aces I’m sorry, I’m not a coder. I installed the plugin, but what do you mean see the debugging info? Should I switch to use php instead of wp, or is there some other setting you are speaking of? As I said in the posting, I was thinking google apps mail settings on the dns might be the problem.
@TitanT30 You’re welcome. I can see where we need to adjust – the trade-off for creating 2 files instead of changing 16 files for BP compatibility
I just added `background: #ffffff;` and `width: 800px;` to the code posted above. You need to add that at the bottom of your stylesheet, style.css file
“For the time being, your display name needs to be different than your login to update your activity stream.” per JJJ at bottom of this page https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/forum-conduct/
Or, use Google. It’s indexed our forums pretty well. So enter “Buddypress.org anok4u2 keyword-phrase-used” in Google search.
You’re welcome. Marking this as resolved then
@mercime thanks for all your help!
I have experimented adding code to the index.php in both the standard buddypress theme and the columns theme, but to no avail.
Can any experienced users please help me as I really want to have a video on the front page.
Cheers all.
BP Links is an old, unsupported plugin. The error message is saying “hey, this bit that BuddyPress provides is missing (since you deactivated BuddyPress), and so we can’t load it, so here’s an error”.
Thought deleting Buddypress might fix the problem – because the permalinks say I am now on member-3. My fatal error was that I had a redirect plugin installed and I think it has fouled up the process.
Went to deactivate and got this message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_site_admin() in /home/atlanta/www/www/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-links/bp-links-admin.php on line 20
I am going to try reinstalling but would like to know what to do if this doesn’t work.
a quick google search found this – http://shabushabu.eu/reordering-buddypress-group-tabs/
Havent tested it so i take no responsibility for what happens to your site. Please test on a test install first.
Do you have Network enabled? have a look at this page – https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
The option to allow user blogs wont show up in the buddypress settings page unless network’s is enabled.
EDIT: Also, RE: Roles – it’s the same as wordpress have a look at https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
i dont think anyone ever took that page seriously when they noticed that @DJpaul‘s Achievement plugin supposedly ‘failed’
Slightly offtopic, but still on the topic of the codex: @johnjamesjacoby – someone mentioned to me that the codex is supposed to be a wiki and that their able to access the codex wp-admin dashboard and edit pages. but when i try i see a “You attempted to access the “BuddyPress Documentation Codex” dashboard, but you do not currently have privileges on this site”
When you have a moment, could you check what role i have and if it’s assigned properly? Might explain other bugs i’ve had (re: not being able to review plugins)

Friend, and variations, appear many, many times…..

@mercime on my version of buddypress (1.5) I don’t get an install wizard on the plug in page. How do I install it without that?
@darren I deleted the forums page like you said. But, no forum was available in either bbpress or buddypress, even In components “forum” doesn’t show up anymore. Even after deleting and reinstalling through ftp. Why?
And, now that it won’t create it’s own forum page how do I get “forum” under components?
How do you “Double check that bbpress is using “forums” as the Forums base.” ?
That’s the only thing I didn’t do. Otherwise, I did exactly what you said and got a forum-less plugin.
@mercime – do you happen to have any pointers on this question?
