@inhouse as @boonebgorges noted above, what I posted was essentially the same thing, and I learned it all from @boonebgorges and other BuddyPress Devs 
10-4 @boonebgorges will tackle the update of relevant pages in BP Codex by this weekend latest
> I wish Codex was written more in depth
The Codex is written and maintained by volunteers. As @mercime was so kind as to jump in and explain what’s up, maybe you could be so kind as to edit the relevant page
Also, some of these issues have been in flux through the end of the 1.5 dev cycle. In any case, what @mercime wrote is essentially the same thing that I wrote – you must have been writing the paths wrong.
Thanks for your patience!
Wow, that is a far cry from what was posted in the Codex and what @boonebgorges posted. I still don’t understand why or how this works, but it works! Again, I wish Codex was written more in depth so new people can actually learn it. Thanks so much for your help @mercime. I appreciate it.
Thanks @mercime, I’ve already been staring at that page for over an hour. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’ve tried every variation of the code I can think to try. Seneca County is the name of my custom child theme. What am I missing? The Codex doesn’t really explain how to modify the example. If you’ve never done it before, I don’t know how you’d look at the example and just figure it out. Please help
`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘seneca-county’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/themes/seneca-county/style.css’ );
}
endif;`
`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘my-stylesheet’, WP_CONTENT_URL . ‘/themes/my-theme/style.css’ );
}
endif;`
Sounds like a good candidate for an enhancement ticket.
Please create a new ticket here:

This could also be an issue with the Blogs Directory plugin which a friend installed. Did you add any functions in theme’s functions.php or excluded some blogs in the directory listing Network Admin > Sites with that plugin?
@loudrake I saw this happen once or twice with a WP theme which had “ in footer.php instead of within index.php, single.php, etc. If I recall well, the solution was to create a blank sidebar-buddypress.php file and upload to that WP theme folder.
You could try running the function – `bp_blogs_record_existing_blogs()` – once and see if the missing blogs are repopulated.
If not, then there is something wrong with the logic of `bp_blogs_record_existing_blogs()`.
It helps a lot thank you ! I’ll dig into that !
I also saw a great plugin called BP custom posts which allows to easily create BP components like groups. I guess I could also use that, my nodes could actually well be some kinda Group but with an extensive description… So I’ll check that as well.
Thanks a lot !
If you need your users to create the nodes on the frontend, you’ll have to include some type of frontend post editor.
Frontend Editor by scribu works with custom post types and should hopefully work for most of your needs:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/front-end-editor/
As for BuddyPress, BuddyPress 1.5 has some hooks in the activity stream component so you could potentially add custom post types in the activity stream when such a post is made.
The hook you will be interested in particular is “bp_blogs_record_post_post_types” located in /bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php.
Hope that helps!
Am having this problem aswell, i just tried solution provided by @Boone, but still same thing. i have been having the problem for a while which makes me switch back to bp 1.2
@katje, were you able to get a resolution on finding a multiple-criteria “search” plugin?
@boonebgorges, Boone, I hope I’m not hijacking the thread because my question reflects one of katje’s questions: Is there a plugin or something close (that I could point a developer to) that would accomplish a multiple criteria search across the membership directory? Here’s a scenario: Let’s say that my membership comprises global athletes, both professional and social. Furthermore, each one of these athletes compete in many different sports. My potential membership could be in the hundreds of thousands, probably millions. My users would need a way to sift through a directory of that size. So, if my xprofile fields contain tria-thletes some of whom have held the profession of astronaut, then I dare say 99.99% of the membership would not meet that criteria. It’s an extreme example which I hope illustrates the need across general searches.
BTW, if this is considered hijacking a thread, please let me know and I’ll create a new topic.
Possibly relevant: the only theme currently enabled on the site is BuddyPress default. There are other themes installed, but not enabled at the moment.
Thanks for responding. I checked 5 affected user blogs, those that don’t show up when I enable the BuddyPress site tracking component.
All five blogs have the privacy set to:
“I would like my site to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Bing, Technorati) and archivers”
I haven’t checked all 50-odd affected blogs, but that doesn’t seem to the problem.
Also, I wondered if I made a mistake in the header of my stylesheet. Do I need to have an absolute path to the stylesheet? My theme URI is currently written as “http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/theme-name”. Is this what is tripping me up? I assume not since the stylesheet was recognized prior to creating the functions.php file. I’m very confused.
`/*
Theme Name: BuddyPress Dusk
Theme URI: http://example.org/themes/dusk/
Description: Dark theme for BuddyPress.
Version: 1.0

I see the conflict. Your group forums URL is http://richard-dickinson.com/forums/ is the same as the URL of your SiteWide Forums which should not be the case.
A. If you want to keep the Forums slug for the group forums, then you have change slugs for the sitewide forums:
– Go to http://richard-dickinson.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress and change Archive Slugs (base) and Single Slugs. That is, change “Forums base” to somethig else like “Sitewide Forums” or “Discussions” and Save.
B. If you want the Forums slug for the Sitewide Forums, then you have to change the slug of the group forums:
– Go to Pages > All Pages and delete the “Forums” page. A notice will appear “.The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Discussion Forums.” Repair
– Click on “Repair” button and the BuddyPress > Pages panel will show up.
– On the “Discussion Forums” line, click on “New Page” button and the Page > Add New panel will show up on screen. This is where you’ll place the title for your group forums
– Type in e.g. Group Forums and click on Publish.
– Click on the “Repair” button and the BuddyPress > Pages panel will show up again. This time, in the “Discussion Forums” line, select the “Group Forums” page you recently created then click on Save.
– To check if your group forums are working with the new slug, go to http://yoursite.com/group-forums/ per title of the new page you created for the group forums.
After all this re-run permalinks == wp-admin > Settings > Permalinks > Save.
a) Did you test if your WordPress site could send emails before using BuddyPress? e.g. when you go to Add Users in wp-admin and tell it to email the password to the user.
b) People need to log in to your site at least once, after BuddyPress has been activated, to appear in the members directory list.
There seems to be some serious oversight in the latest version (1.5).
I’m not entirely clear from the above post, but I may have the reverse issue….
After the update my top level site works fine with the Community header features (Activity, Members, Blogs) working after the required plugin repair of the top level site, but the activity stream for each sub-blog on my multi-user installation links to a (non-existent) activity stream for that site, instead of the network.
So, the top level site http://retrofitdiaries.org/activity/ works fine, but for the member site http://member.retrofitdiaries.org the activity header links to http://penwithhousingpenzance.retrofitdiaries.org/activity/ whereas it should also link to http://retrofitdiaries.org/activity/ because that IS the Community. Calling community where it is one blog is meaningless!
Please let me know how this can be fixed.
Each community function can link to a WordPress page BUT this is what Buddypress is supposed to manage!
Thanks
Check that the missing sites’ privacy is set to public (in wp-admin > Settings)
Links hasn’t been updates for a long time, it’s an old plugin. If it still works with 1.5, I expect there would still be things needed to be updated such as this nav menu/item.
