== Is there any other possibility to have BP running on my site without having to change the theme? ==
Sure. Install and activate BP Template Pack plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
Go through the compatibility process – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
A walkthrough to help you out – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
Same problem with MAMP Pro 2.0.1 on Lion. WP works but activating BP leads to error.
Redownloading 1.9.6.1 now…
Which website? Yours? What’s the URL? And what versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using.
It’s worth bearing in mind that as a rule of thumb, the more complex a plugin is, the more likely it is that it will need serious work to update. Some of the changes regarding slugs, as you mention, will only “break” plugins if a BuddyPress site is set up with a certain permalink structure. e.g. just like here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups// (Until 1.5, you haven’t had chance to put the groups directory under a generic “community” page.)
We’ll be trying hard to get documentation out on bpdevel.wordpress.com and the codex as and when the core team update their own plugins, etc. We’d love for anyone else to share what they figure out during the same journey
@mercime i need your help here 
Here’s a customer dying to have access to an affordable video chat service. I love the idea and currently I am using Envolve Chat which I like but I would love this service if it included video chat. Currently I am paying $49.99 to have this service available for my users. Hope this feedback is of some use for you.
@mercime
I am using php version 5.2.17, so.. Isn’t there any other option to solve this prob without updating php version?
@infocoolsms WP/BP versions? Current versions require minimum PHP 5.2.4. If you are on minimum version, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference=true in your php.ini
Unfortunately, this didn’t get resolved I had hoped since the last active group still keeps coming up to the top of the list in /groups/.
I found this code in the groups-loop.php which I thought may be responsible for this?
I’ve tried to remove , bp_get_group_last_active() but get an error message about an unnecesary “)” and can’t get the coding to be correct.
Could someone assist? Also, is this even the right track?
Thank you.
Funny, I don’t recall putting a big all caps announcement about the WP 3.0 menu :0
@cupid4 yes, still looks good to go. Know that custom menus will be available in BP 1.3 bp-default.
Excuse me, my mistake ! I meant “Hidden Groups”.
p.s. I’m using WP 3.2, BuddyPress 1.2.9 and Jukt Micronics 1.2. template
The changes will show up after saving the revisions and uploading to server
@mercime is this menu solution still current for 1.2.9? 
Full-width page – replace top of activity/index.php (as I noted above) with
`<?php
global $shortname;
get_header();
?>
`
Replace the bottom of activity/index.php (as noted above) with
`
`
Yes, and I think a few more links went away after I disabled the updates too(such as activity and @name).
However, I am concerned about the username aand passwords profile showing up under Settings. I’ve created a membership site and I’m not sure whether someone who were to change their password through the buddypress settings would simultaneously be changing their password for the membership site or not (right now I have buddypress only available to the members and they don’t have to sign in separately. Do you think it’s correct that this buddypress password setting is referring to my site’s membership password?
Thank you.
Sorry about the double post! like i said…site was goin a little crazy on me last night
Thanks so much mercime i really appreciate it and cant wait to show the site once it’s done
2 quick questions…
Should I assume that full width pages are a no go? 
lol
and will the changes finally show once all the pages have been edited?
@ginreviews WP/BP versions? Are you using bp-default child theme, WP/BP Template pack or custom BP theme? Is this a new install or is it an existing install with registration going bonkers recently?
Tried this plugin and it worked ok : https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-activity-as-blog-comments/
It did not work on sub blogs as it was making bad links for the reply, favorite, and remove favorite buttons. I type this out into my bp-custom.php file and now it all works fine :
`//fix replying to activity streams on sub blogs
add_filter(‘bp_get_activity_favorite_link’,’fix_activity_link’,10,2);
add_filter(‘bp_get_activity_unfavorite_link’,’fix_activity_link’,10,2);
add_filter(‘bp_get_activity_comment_form_action’,’fix_activity_link’,10,1);
function fix_activity_link($link,$setting=’none’){
$root = $_SERVER;
$pos = strpos($link, ‘/activity/’);
$length = strlen($link);
$fixed_link = ‘http://’ . $root . substr($link,$pos,$length);
return $fixed_link;
}`
bumpily bump. Need more feedback.
I can just remove displaying and entering WordPress comments, display an activity stream for only that blog, and create a text box that submits to the stream, but if there is already a proper way that integrates with WordPress I would prefer that. With my method the dashboard view would show no comments while the site view would show a stream of comments.
Replace top part with this
`
Download the BP template files transferred to your active WP theme folder in server down to your computer hard drive.
We start with /activtiy/index.php – open with text editor. At the top of the file, replace
`
`
with
<?php
global $shortname;
get_header();
?>
then at the bottom of the activity/index.php file replace
`
`
with
`
`
Hi
I’ve just installed this plugin and the quote functionality so far. My theme adds the ‘quote’ button, but the quote doesn’t appear in the reply box. Can someone help me fix please?
Thanks
