Check out this trac ticket. Know however, that in upcoming BP 1.5, the bp_page_title has been deprecated and WP’s wp_title will be used instead.
@ali would you mind sharing the function that you used to get the links to open in a new window? The above mentioned plugin is not working for me.
== As far as the coding goes, am I supposed to start from scratch or copy over all the files from the plugin / bp-default directory? ==
Depends on what modifications you’d like to implement and how you want to go about it.
Create a child theme of bp-default – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ – you can import the bp-default default.css in your style.css and make the revisions as well as copy over one or more template files/s from bp-default theme if needed
or use a WP Theme and install the BP Template Pack plugin and go through the process

thanks a lot pcwriter. I will try TDO-Mini-Forms.
I’ve used TDO-Mini-Forms for front-end posting and it works well. There’s also Gravity Forms if you want to go the premium route.
thank you for the kind response. I just tried buddypress quickpress and it didn’t seen to work. Just like what you said, it is out dated. I understand that it takes time. Just can’t wait for your plugin to be available, so we can use it for our project!
If there is no current plugin available, could you please suggest where shall I start? I just wanted to move the blog post feature to the activity update area, probably by adding a new button and a popup window. Users can be confused if they have to go to the dashboard (the wordpress control panel) to create a single post.
Also I have installed the plugin “buddypress groupblog”. Can the same thing be done to a group so group members can post group blog post the same way?
Wow thanks that looks like a neat add-on.
As far as the coding goes, am I supposed to start from scratch or copy over all the files from the plugin / bp-default directory?
It’s quite a shame that the documentation is lacking considering Buddypress looks very powerful from the example sites I’ve researched.
Sincere apologies …mercime …pardonez moi….another faux-pas – mais a votre sante! Sure looking forward to BuddyPress 
De rien. De nada. Prego. Welcome to BuddyPress
@tomcos Double-checked source code of your other regular pages. You need to wrap content with additional `
`which will pull in width so that the sidebar will go to correct position
Therefore at the top of the activity/index.php replace
`
`
with
`
`
and replace bottom of the file
`
`
with
`
`
Editing the language file will help you change the displayed text.
If you want to remove something DJPaul just shared a method with us here: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/
There is also a style sheet hack that I used, it’s posted here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/achievements/forum/topic/remove-achievement-link-from-menue-bar/#post-106447
It is a great plugin, just testing it,
I wish more people knew about it,
one feature /improvement I would suggest
that after the login, user is not taken to WP backend
but homepage or user profile (in Buddypress)
or at least if there was an option for admin to set where user should be taken after registration
thank you
Merci beaucoup Mercine
C’est bon!
All good now…
I was nearly there with my edits but not quite & I was confused as I kept checking via adminbar during the edits but it all only woked after all the edits were complete. Magnifique!
Thanks very much for your very helpful reply-now I need to see what features I want to enable & configure & explore BuddyPress-looking forward to it…
Best wishes
Richard
Thank you @shapherd and @Stigmartyr
But i’m not sure you guys are understanding me hehe
When I go to my profile or any profile i see under the avatar:
Activity
Profile
Friends
Groups
Messages
What i want is:
News*
Profile
Activity
Friends
etc
I also would like to know how you take one out
Thank you for your time and help. I greatly appreciate it. Let me know if you have a possible solution or anything else that might help
Just as a sanity check have you got the setting turned on to allow groups?
Under components have you turned enabled Groups: Let users create, join and participate in groups.
Are you signed in as admin or signed in as a user and does it make a difference to seeing group creation?
If you have a little more information would be great such as what version of BuddyPress / WordPress you are using and also the theme you are using? Does the problem happen with all plugins turned off (I know it can be a pain but it’s good to sanity check them)? Also maybe you can provide a link to your site?
In IIS Manager, go to the virtual directory and click right / properties, there you can go to the documents tabs and set up the “enable default content page” to index.php
IMHO Apache runs circles around IIS, on our win2k8 server we’re running apache and php instead.
This article might also help you translate .htaccess to an IIS webconfig, too (if needed) :http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/557/translate-htaccess-content-to-iis-webconfig/
As an M$ engineer IIS is not something I would rather rely on for production sites unless you have M$’s budget to just throw more servers at the load and be able to deal with a few coming off the rails while you sort things out (yes even in IIS7). That’s why I’m a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) admin when it comes to things I own and care about.
If you’re not planning to be working with ASP or need active directory integration with desktop PCs, and that sort of thing there’s no need for it. I say let WordPress run on it’s native environment.
Does that code replace the previous default or is that in addition to the code?
Sounds like the search feature is designed to query things one way, maybe the search needs to be modified too?. Does this issue match anything reported in the bug database for Buddypress?
I’m stabbing in the dark here.
If you want to change the actual names of the links, I did this by editing the language .pot file
But I’m not sure if that is the recommended method. I wanted to change My Blogs to My Sites:
For 1.2.9, translate the po file from buddypress/bp-languages directory.
Save the translation as buddypress-en_US.mo [if your local is en_US) else buddypress-your_Locals.mo in the bp-languages directory and you will be done.
Poedit is a great tool for translation.
I see @naijaping but but where would i implement that code?? in the functions.php??
@RPD If you mean this theme, https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/animass, then we’ll use the WP page.php file as guide in the transformation.
Open up the activity/index.php file transferred to your anIMass folder in server. At the top, replace:
`
`
with
`
`
At the bottom of the same file, replace:
`
`
with
`
`
Save and then do the same for the remaining files https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#revise-templates
@boonebgorges
Thanks for the tip, I’ll look into their documentation to see if anything similar exists. JS is still a whole new world for me
