I found the answer. They are using the latest beta version. It has the drop down menus.
Try some of the WP Facebook connects. I know simple FB connect works and a few others do as well.
Not sure if this plugin still works but for liking things on a site:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-like
I was wondering if anyone could help me out i have reached out to the developer and he wants 140 for his time although i do think its fair and he should be paid for his time i just cannot afford it at this time unfortunately ..
Im trying to show the users rating points in the login box after the user has logged in already
i have added this code
<?php
global $bp;
$karma = get_usermeta( $bp->displayed_user->id, ‘rfp_post_karma’ );
$relative_karma = rfp_calculate_relative_karma( $karma, $bp->displayed_user->id );
echo ‘
‘ . get_option( ‘rfp_karma_label’ ) . rfp_poster_karma( $relative_karma ) . ‘
‘;
?>
it gets and displays the label no problem but it doesn’t show the the actual points after the label i have searched in and out and i cant figure it out.
Any help is much appreciated.
Hi @DJPaul , it’s great to know that you’re working on that now, beacuse it’s a very usefull feature 
Looking foward to see next version, thanks!
Added some additional checks that are in bbPress 2.0 RC 4. Thanks for the heads up.
Hi
Next version will support HTML emails. It’s my current project I’m working on.
One more thing with this theme. http://testbp.org/discussion/ has drop down menus. Is it using a plugin for that? I read from some forum that drop down is soon integrated into BuddyPress default theme, but it was 9 months ago. Isn’t it still integrated?
@enderandrew, I’ve just installed 1.5 Beta 3, and tried to recreate the issue I had with the checkboxes mentioned in my earlier post. This is issue appears to have been solved.
@enderandrew, I do not have your issue on 1.2.9 nor 1.5 Beta 2. The only issue I have is that the checkboxes options field that I add to XProfile, do not show up in BP 1.5 Beta 2 (only the first checkbox option does), while all options display in BP 1.2.9.
Thank you Sofian! The shortcodes helped me out.
On the plus side, I am one of the admins on testbp. It’s probably because bbPress 2.0 tries to use “forums”, and BuddyPress also tries to use “forums”. BuddyPress must be winning.
Try going to wp-admin > Settings > Forums, and set the “Forums base” and “Topics base”. There’s also a page called “discussion”. I’ve not used bbPress 2.0, so I’m not really sure. @johnjamesjacoby will know!
I’m going crazy here. Where can I get instructions how to create a forum page like this: http://testbp.org/discussion/ ? I have searched everywhere. I have asked from the admins in testbp, but no answer. It is not possible that there is no help how to set up this kind of forum.
Does anybody know who has set up this forum? How is this done? Are they using bbPress WordPress plugin or is it a standalone bbPress forum installation that is integrated into WP and BB?
Any help is appreciated!
Somehow I got to show the forum main page, but all the forums and topics are now redirected to Group Forums Directory. I do not want to use groups forums. What could be the problem?
Then I have no idea why my forum pages are not showing up :S
When I disable buddypress all the javascript works normally, so I’m not sure what that could mean.
did you activate bbPress before BuddyPress? If you go to wp-admin BuddyPress menu, is it prompting you to run the updater?
Testbp runs unmodified versions of BuddyPress and bbPress development versions
Yes, but it doesn’t show bbPress links. It seems that they have modified it.
when you use bbPress with BuddyPress default theme it has the the same theme that is on testbp.org.
