@markaduffy – There was a bbPress plugin on the stand-alone side of things at one point, but I believe it hasn’t been updated in some time. I have a thought about how to do this in bbPress 2.0, but it would most likely not be persistent, and rather based off the last time a user visited the site.
@DJPaul Cheers Paul, I’ve just tried it and it indeed works. the only thing it bypasses is creating the activity stream entry that user ‘x’ became a egistered member. Everything else looks like it has been created just fine.
You’re not calling any BuddyPress-specific tags in that code sample, so you might have better luck asking for support on the WordPress.org forums. However, you say that you “can’t query up the loop!” What output are you getting, and what output do you expect?
Chouf1’s probably thinking of the upcoming 1.3 release of BuddyPress, which does indeed make this easy. Where did you get the bp_mystique_july theme from? Does that theme’s author offer support, or have a contact email address?
If you’re familiar with PHP, read through /buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-templatetags.php, or look in the theme that comes with BuddyPress and work backwards
I’m not sure what this has to do with BuddyPress. You’re best to contact the author of the SMTP plugin that you’re using for support, or to post on the wordpress.org forums.
I’m a developer as well, I just didn’t want to dig into the framework until I knew if it was possible or not. Where would I go to discuss customization’s to Buddy Press? Is there a better forum group?
Technically all of that is possible but it wouldn’t be included as default in a standard BP template. You could easily get a theme designer/ developer to build most of the functionality there though. It’s all straight forward except for perhaps the payment sections which would require some specialist work.
I’m sure others will chip in with who they have used for custom stuff on their sites.
It’s not a page that can be changed in wp admin. I have searched there before. It’s somewhere in the Buddypress plugin code? But where.
I have found a workaround this issue by editing the subject line of the activation email by a simple function found here!

Would love to see us able to customise all emails in future versions of BP though!
@virtuali sorry mate, the HTML above was interpreted correctly by this site thus it looks fine above.
The apostrophe doesn’t come out as an apostrophe in the subject line of my activation email.
It actually comes out as & #039;
I’ve changed it in my original post to reflect this problem properly
Thanks for these brilliant additions to forums. I’d been wondering for some time why tags weren’t appearing anywhere as I’d initially had the groups forum directory switched off. Now we have the opposite extreme using all the suggestions above – alpha sorted tag clouds for individual topics and for all groups forums appearing in all the right places. Thanks @snark and @boonebgorges – you’ve made my day.
Oh, by the way, since input of uppercase/lowercase tags doesn’t make any difference, you might consider use of CSS formatting like this:
`your_selector a { text-transform:lowercase; }`
@oldrow – With hosting, a lot of times you get what you pay for. I don’t have experience with Lunar Pages, but I do know that if you want to control how fast your site loads, you need either a better shared hosting environment or a VPS or better.
If you want to stick with cheap hosts, you might try another one. For example, I have had decent luck with Hostgator.
@n0ise Sure. Could you send me an email and I’ll follow up with you?
@4ella Thanks!
I don’t know if I have a permission to provide a little review about this plugin , but 1 thing I can say now this plugin is very very cool and I think that will be a very popular one , if you want to beta test it @gdeglin is a nice person trying to discuss your opinion , new features and all your advices.
really guys all I wanna do is change those two words ‘what’s new’
@hnla, if you would let me know where I go to make the edit at file level I’ll get the job done and can put it to bed 
Very nice! If you need a beta tester..count me in
My theme has this in it’s style sheet
‘Template: bp-default
Tags: buddypress, wood, wallpaper, old, moldy
*/’
That means it’s a child of bp right?
thanks @hnla @pcwriter I’ll look into both of these suggestions. I’ve made the round over to wp but since the majority if not all are BP plugins I thought I’d put it out there here. I’m having a hard time seeing why some of these BP plugins need to be network activated at all.
thanks for the reply @pcwriter
If you don’t mind I need a little more assistance with this (as I’m not code savvy)
how do I find this ‘child-theme’ you mention
do I go to cpanel..? or in my admin (dashboard)
Also, I do not want to restrict ‘members’ viewing, only their ‘profiles’
@pinhit
You’re not going to get told off again but I’m afraid you are asking coding questions, questions about how to adapt and modify a site and that requires a little coding knowledge, not everything is plugin based – although a lot is.
Sorry pcwriter but don’t link to W3Schools it’s not that great a site and we forbade it’s mention on csscreator years ago One of the best resources for frontend coding is htmldog
Check out this fantastic new plugin – BP Multisite http://wpmu.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/bp-multi-site.zip. I’ve installed and am testing it. Not completely sure yet, as there’s a permissions issue (see my comment on the article page below, but it seems to work like a charm.
Now I can have my main network site and not only set up a mixture of regular blogsites (like a restaurant review) and networks (a local English club) but offer my members the chance to have their own distinct network, rather than a mainsite group or regular blog! All using the same username, as @dgmodel and I’ve got it working with facebook connect, so people don’t even have to create ANY accounts!
Here’s the article with the guy/project who got this going:
