Hugo, I asked him directly cause he has been one of the only really helpful people in the forum – to me at least.
The last thread about the two plugins was probably one of the best discussions I’ve heard on buddypress. It was two people debating on the future of BP Media, which is essentially the future of BP. The sad part is that the conversation was (censored) stopped.
Media does not have to be MS only as long as WordPress can contain BP avatars I am sure there is a solution for both. If relationships can be assigned by specifying friend, colleague or family – then assign values to who can see what then it should be doable.
djpaul, I originally titled the post what you retitled it as, however realized “Pink elephant” is exactly what this should be titled. And I would actually have preferred that you left the title as such, instead of censoring my post.

How many communities have you been to where you have no idea what the other people are like. Hence the need for photos, videos and human interaction. I am just trying to get some focus on what will make these community sites more effective.

@modemlooper, you wouldn't happen to have any plans on creating something similar to what you mentioned above – would you? Because I really cannot see using the heavily coded plugins that are out there.
Hello,
I am trying to translate the 3 pages but when i click view page i get a 404 and the member page is recreated in wp-admin. My newly created page is an autosaved page.
I am using plugin 1.7beta and i tried the last part of

Any info?
Hi!
I have a couple BuddyPress questions that I cannot seem to find answers for. I am a long time WordPress user and BP looks great.
1.) I see where BuddyPress creates a Registration page during the install, but I cannot find a registration form. Do I have to build my own form?
And is if possible to use WP form plugins like Formidable and Gravity? How do most BuddyPress admins handle forms?
2.) Regarding Forums. I noticed that BuddyPress also provides an option to install either Group and Site wide forums. Are these forums the same as bbPress?
3.) Are there any privacy options built into BuddyPress that will allow users to make their pages viewable to “Members Only” and “Public” or only certain “Member Groups”? Or do I have to use plugins for this?
Thank you for any advice. I am happy about discovering BuddyPress. This looks like a great adventure!
A plugin that allows for creation of member notes by Administrators or anyone granted access.
Helpful on large sites, especially with multiple moderators.
Add Notes per Member from within ‘wp-admin/user-edit’ or on BuddyPress member profile page under the Profile tab.
See wp-admin page ‘BP Member Notes’, under Users tab, to see a list of notes.
And to set role access, if you are an Administrator.
Requires at least: 3.5
Tested up to: WP 3.5, BP 1.6.x and 1.7 beta
Feedback & bug reports appreciated.

If I could go back in time and I was Andy Peatling BuddyPress would have less features. I would extend only the user capabilities of WordPress. Create better relational hooks. Allow developers to create anything and let the users of a site interact with this content. You can do this now and BuddyPress gives you status posting and relates activity and users using groups OOTB.
You can extend the activity through meta and the groups have an api to extend it as well. There are a few media plugins but in my opinion they should be using WordPress media capabilities by creating an API to extend the media capabilities to the front end and then let developers create on top of it. This will create more unique opportunities for site creators instead of being stuck with only one core solution.
No need to bump this topic when you’ve just started your own about a similar thing. There’s been no change.

any news on this subject i notice the same issue locally and i am using buddypress 1.7-beta1 plugin
Hello,
I am developing locally with xampp and i notice the default avatars aren’t shown because of the http://i0.wp.com/
it reads `http://i0.wp.com/192.168.xxx.5/mysite.com/site/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg`
i like to use some custom avatars so i added a function to my theme functions.php and add a filter like
`add_filter( ‘bp_core_mysteryman_src’, ‘use_custom_avatar’ );`
but here again http://i0.wp.com/ is being pre added
How do i fix this?
@mikegarlick Haven’t seen that issue using BP Default theme even in BP 1.6.2. First thing, I suggest you upgrade to latest WP 3.5.1 and6 BP 1.6.4. If you prefer not to upgrade, though it begs the question as to why, download a copy of BP 1.6.2 and re-upload BuddyPress manually, i.e. via s/FTP (see download link near bottom of page https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.2 )

I was having this issue on an older install so I setup a fresh wordpress 3.5.1 multisite install with buddypress 1.7 beta(trunk-6829) and the bp groupblog 1.8. This is the only items on this install. When I set group blogs to redirect to the blogs home page if I click on the blog tab to go to their home page it redirects to the main sites wp-admin page. Any ideas?
@p2ab Seems like you already deleted your BP test site. When you first set up and test BP, recommend using the BP Default theme and not activating any other plugin.
I have set this page for registration : http://www.inandaboutdubai.com/register But for some reason it bounces back to the home page.
@anshul_01 this is normal behavior if you try to go to the register page while you’re logged in. Log out first.
@vegaskev you’re getting 404 because BuddyPress is not activated in anshul’s site. Deleted BP pages in all probability
@asalvo1 I would re-upload BuddyPress plugin manually, i.e., via s/FTP
@39images BP 1.7 uses your theme’s page.php to insert BP template parts automagically. You can either:
1. Change theme’s page.php to have one sidebar or
2. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-compatibility/
@vegaskev @ubernaut you both are certainly not marked as spammers or else you won’t be able to post in the forums at all 🙂 vegaskev, do edit your profile and change name to something other than your username
@daronna I assume that you’re on a Windows server thus trying to get pretty permalinks working as required by BuddyPress by appending /index.php. That method is not going to work with BuddyPress.
I suggest deactivating BuddyPress first. Then check out the other methods for pretty permalinks without /index.php on Windows server:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/developer-docs/iis7-web-config/
If you still have issues with pretty permalinks, do post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting
Only activate BuddyPress after the issue is resolved.
I would like to know how to do this, I am not a buddypress expert so It will take some explaining and even better some code on a github link. I would like to add this to my header and get rid of the toolbar, I would also like to add the BP links that is usually in the right of the toolbar into the the header. Reason being I don’t want that bar up there and it would make it look more custom without the toolbar that gives it away that it is a WP/BP social network. I like how facebook has their notifications, messages, and friend request split out. This is what I am trying to do. I got a little info on this link but not enough to do anything with : http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/27888/how-to-split-out-buddypress-notifications-drop-down-items-to-their-own-top-level @boonebgorges explains it but not in much detail. I would appreciate any guidance on how to get this done. Thanks!
Also, the original topic sucked. I’ve changed it. It looked like spam, please don’t give us more work.
I do not want visitors to ever be taken to this screen. If their login fails I’d prefer that they would be redirected to the home page. Also I would like to add the forgot password link to the buddypress sidebar login. I appreciate your help! Cheers!

@jimchester Jim as there is very little detail to go on and as @mercime mentions the link is not valid the best thing to do is start confirming a few things by way of troubleshooting and feeding back information that can be useful.
First thing I would do is deactivate BuddyPress, & any plugins you have activated, revert back to your basic WP installation and establish if that works correctly, if it doesn’t then this may point to a general issue with the main installation and that is best looked into on the WP support forums, if it does work correctly then try reactivating BP – but please only with the default BP theme no custom themes as they are often main culprits in problems – now see if things are any different, try and note as much detail about problems and report back on this thread.
Have you done some basic troubleshooting like deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and then checking if issue is resolved? what browser are you using?
@modemlooper – got a question.
And its the giant pink elephant in the room.
Buddypress with Photo Album Capabilities?
Everyone wants to understand this. From my understanding, it doesn’t seem wise to recreate the wheel. Meaning why does this need to be a major coded plugin. MU has a great media backend, why can’t we just use the blog posts to post pictures? Isn’t there a way to limit who can see what posts – for instance, friends can see this post, colleagues can see this one and family can see that post. You have been very helpful and I am interested to hear your version of what might be a best solution?
Thank you for your time.
