@mrjarbenne, i tried bp-redirect-to-profile and not working. In fact, many many fine plugins on WP are no longer working… Upgrades are great but can very disruptive too.
Not 100% perfect. It does what it says… BUT, it interferes with your attempts to log out. When you click on log-out, it gets stuck on a blank page- trying to get back to site, you are not logged out. Any thoughts? @mrjarbenne / @modemlooper

That sounds like a WordPress Multisite (sub-domain setup) with Buddypress running as front-end. The Buddypress main domain would be where you host your General content, then host the more specific content on the subdomain blogs. @Bowromir over at http://bp-tricks.com/ has always been a proponent of the subdomain blog having a similar look to the main blog, and as such has created a Multisite WordPress default theme: http://bp-tricks.com/featured/new-theme-bp-default-member-blog-multisite-communties/
You could then use a functionality like http://wpebooks.com/replicator/ to create the basic layout of one specific site you need (with the look and feel you want), then replicate that site multiple times, adding the specifics for each city.
BRILLIANT…worked.. OK in case other folks wonder.. her it is: created a txt file with the following simple code below (just 3 lines)… Replace the file name to bp-custom.php and place it in wp-content/plugins/ And voila. Thanks @modemlooper U save me tons of worries.
<?php
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ );
?>
Sorry. I just re-read your initial question. That plugin from buddydev won’t help you in that case, but the code @modemlooper pointed you to will.
If it’s not there you can create it. It’s not there by default, so if you haven’t added any customizations before, you won’t find it. Just create a bp-custom.php file in the plugins folder (it will be one of the few files in a directory of “folders”), and add the code you want. Don’t forget to add the <?php tag before the config lines @modemlooper has pointed you to here. Another option might be this plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-redirect-to-profile/ . I’m not sure if it’s been updated for 1.5, but @Brajesh is great about updating things, so I assume it works.
Hi @modemlooper…I wonder if this new version of BP made substantial changes in files? I just searched for bp-custom.php file, certainly in wp-content/plugins/ and in wp-content/plugins/buddypress, alas nothing. Is bp-custom.php gone and now another file holds the code?
Thanks

@danbutcher I read your input . I have a project where we are collecting stories about youth experiencing the outdoors. I would love to invite you to participate either as a professor or to highlight student work that applies. Please take a look intooutside.org.
@johnjamesjacoby Hi John, I am reading your comments and appreciate your knowledge and skills. I am about to also try to find your plugin. (I am not a programmer so most of the instructions went over my head – I do the design/art direction part).
I have a project I took on as a probono to develop an mu site for a National Park Service Collaborative http://www.intooutside.org. I created a wordpress site with Buddy Press, and we are finishing the content integration and signing up users. There are a lot of ways I could use your savvy and help…as I am limited in my coding skills. The project is to inspire kids to get outside into the wilderness and to create a forum for them to share their stories.
Are you available to talk about the site I am making and struggling with? If so, how may I contact you? You may send me an email via creative-entity(com)/contact.html
MANY THANKS!
~ Amy
PS @mikepratt @apeatling If any of you other guys have a desire to help, I would REALLY appreciate. This is a non-profit project and I am in need ….I can offer some design trade, music, dance..
You can try SeoPress plugin (not seoPress for buddypress), the last version support buddypress.
If your website email doesn’t work at all you may need an extra plugin. The codex suggests one here: https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/
I use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ which has a useful debugging feature….
I guess that was not the question …
The issue is general and it applies to the fact that any user can see the activity stream of any other user, regardless if friend or not ..
Maybe we should wonder why would they “make friends” in the 1st place? Is this the way a social network works? How is Facebook solving it? LinkedIn etc !??!
None of these networks gives access to non-friend streams, only buddypress …. 
So having this issue solved once and for all, after having people pointing out to this issue for longer than one year with NO ANSWER would be really a big step forward for buddypress.
Anyone having the solution!??!
I got the same issue. Buddypress is completely slowing down all my multisite network.
Somebody can help here?
Hi mercime,
I tried it with the discussion forum enabled and created different groups trying to post from each one from the groups forum page and the forums main page. Also tried the directory pages with the group name category selected in the dropdown each time.
It’s the same symptoms as on here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/what-the-heck-is-wrong-with-my-forums/
I also tried uninstalling and re-installing the buddypress plugin and disabling all other plugins in case of conflict but no luck.
Here is a link to my site: http://democracycommunity.com
Have you heard of this problem before?
Thanks
== i have incerted the code to get the buddypress to display properly with my theme weaver 2 ==
Are you referring to this weaver theme http://wpweaver.info/themes/weaver/?
And if by “inserting code” you meant you installed BP Template Pack plugin and went through the BP compatibility process, did you use the second method for making the theme BP-compatible? like this https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/#compatibility
== the members show up fine but when i add pluging to buddy press to give more features to buddypress 1. Links 2 Albums the pages when these are clicked in the member bar puts the sidebar below the content cant seem to find where to fix this ==
If you use the second method (header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress,etc) for BP compatibility process per link I posted above, then you won’t have to make further change to templates provided by Links/Albums plugins
== When a topic is posted from a group this message is displayed in a red bar: “This group does not have a forum setup yet.” ==
Go to that specific Group’s Admin > Settings and click “Enable discussion forum”
== When a topic is posted and a group is slected from the Forums page this message is also displayed in a red bar: “Please pick the group forum where you would like to post this topic.” ==
Not quite sure what you mean. Did you post the topic from the specific Group’s > Forum page > New Topic or did you post from Forum Directory page > New Topic page where you should select the group from dropdown provided?
That works! Not exactly the way I want it, but the spacing between words is correct even if they are in a backwards breadcrumb looking way. I can live with it. Better than what it was!
(Oh, yes, I realize I could flip it, but I’m just going to leave it : )
Thanks @mercime !
Several ways, but check out this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unconfirmed/
To disable activations (I would strongly recommend against this – it’d let spammers access your site much more easily), put this code somewhere, maybe in bp-custom.php:
`add_action( ‘bp_core_signup_send_activation_key’, ‘__return_false’ );`
Hello ppl,
I have tried and followed the instructions as given above but my forum turns blanc …
I was wondering if there is any techy around thats willing to help give it shot.
The scenario is, I am trying to import a bbPress forum into buddypress.
Thanks in advance.
