This sounds to difficult to me 
. I found some kind of solution.
What I have done:
– Make a categorie
– Make a new menu
– Add categorie to menu
– Use widget custom menu to display the new menu on the sidebar.
This is a solution, but I prefer the link to the categorie in the header.
Somebody some suggestion?

bp_is_friends
Used to determine if the current page is a friends page.
Returns:
TRUE if current page is a friends page
FALSE otherwise
@walid3 – This is a valid concern. Please post a ticket – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket/
BuddyPress currently checks if alphanumeric characters are inputted for the username during registration validation.
Unless there’s a valid reason for the alphanumeric check, it might be wise to just piggyback off of WP’s username validation functions.
Google programmatically adding link to WordPress nav it’s not a BuddyPress issue. However, it’s a needed request and I’ll post a code how to over the weekend
#1 – see JJJ’s profile page on testbp.org http://testbp.org/members/johnjamesjacoby/profile/
By default, data entered by members in their profile fields are turned into links ala tags. So on that page, when you click on the USA link, a page will be generated to show all members who have entered USA in Country field.
On your end, you could just create your own links in sidebar or elsewhere like
`Rock and Roll`
`Swing`
of course replacing yoursite.com with your own domain name and replacing Rock and Roll with any text you want to match up.
#2 – You can make sure that the first page visitors will see will be the member’s profile instead of the activity page by adding this to your wp-config.php at root of your WP installation
`define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ ); `

@munman, try this `<a href="profile/edit”>Edit Profile`

@valuser
Yeah but that won’t work. You can’t use link tags in WP custom menus, and also can’t use php.
Any other suggestions anyone?
Buddypress as far as I have found can run in MAMP, and here’s how I have been able to do it (may not work for everyone).
*In the MAMP directory (using finder) right click the htdocs folder > Get Info > now what I done was to set all users – myself, _www & everyone to full read & Write, I also ticked the ‘Shared folder’ and then set it to ‘Apply to enclosed items’ by way of the settings (cog wheel at bottom) to do that you will need to unlock and enter your system admin password – you may have to be logged in on the system as admin to do this.
This will allow WP/BP to be able to write to your .htaccess file.
You should then be able to set your permalink to anything but the default to allow BP to work.
However… Those of us who use Dreamweaver have found issues – Dreamweaver (CS 5.5 anyway) cannot handle WP sites using anything but the default permalink structure.
So if you want to run a WP/BP site on MAMP and edit with Dreamweaver you are kinda snookered either way.
Unless someone has any ideas??
*not everyone will want to or should set directories to full access like this and may cause a security issue on your system, I take no responsibility for problems incurred by anyone doing this – it’s just what works for me, but I am on a safe network.
Thanks a lot for your comments, @qrahaman and @mercime
Do you have access to your error logs? In all probability, you need to increase available memory – https://codex.buddypress.org/troubleshooting/blank-pages/
Bump, please can anyone help?
@travel-junkie Cheers Boris! Gonna have a play around on a test DB to see if I can get this to work!
There is a phpBB3 WP Bridge that works really well but as far as I can tell it will not play well with BuddyPress. At least I have not yet gotten it to work.
At this point there is a WP-phpBB Bridge that works just fine with WP and phpBB but given that it redirects user account creation to phpBB I am not sure if it will work with BuddyPress.
Thank you, looks like I got a modification of your social sharing links working on my side, using Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Great look – thank you!
Now if I could get FB Auto Connect plugin working on registration, haha.
Thank you! That’s really odd. But not surprising, imagine a man covering his eyes as he tentatively plugs something in – that’s me installing this whole shebang. I’m going to see about hiring some help getting these two themes playing nice so I can get the Buddypress back end going. I wouldn’t have the first clue what I missed in the template pack or how to style something that’s unstyled.
I had the same problem and I fixed it by copying the files from the child theme that have new translated items to the bp-default theme. Then I scanned the buddypress plugin using codestyling plugin to get the new po file, which contains now the new translated items. this works only if you keep the textdomain as “buddypress”. hope this helps..
So, what do you reckon I do, just wait for release? Or should I just Network Activate? I don’t understand why I can’t even see the plugin on subdirectories.
1.5 is going to be released…. – any day now ?
@PaulGibbs – What does this answer mean? Do you mean 1.2.5? I thought the current version is 1.2.10. I currently have the latest version installed. but I can only see it on the network admin. I can’t see it on any other site and I’d like to install on a subdomain.
