Thanks for the response. I will check it out.
@boonebgorges: That definitely works. WP default sign-in now works properly. Thank you.
Now… here’s a thought. Is there a way to redirect a user after registration directly to their shiny new BP members page so they can edit their profile, upload an avatar, etc? At the moment it takes them to the ‘check your email’ WP functionality that exists by default.
The client was curious about having the sign-up form submit to both WP and BP but I don’t think that’s going to happen, and redirecting from one sign-up form to another just caused more headaches…
@naved – Put it in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php . Create that file if you don’t already have it, making sure to begin it with
`<?php`
and ending it with
`?>`
I don’t know of anything that will, at the moment, allow for the kind of “rating” you’re asking for here. I assume you’d use BP activity as your ‘ideas’, though you could also have a custom post type (which would require coding).
You might check out BuddyPress Like, which might get you at least part of the way there: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-like/
What does “real posts” mean?
If you want the ability to include media in activity items, you might check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/
You don’t need a plugin to do the first part. Just use groups, plus https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-reviews/
Categorization will be trickier, and will require some sort of custom plugin. This plugin may help get you started: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-tags/
@sbrajesh: I don’t seem to be getting a redirect with most pages & posts.
The site’s staging area is http://designatedsketcher.maidenhosting.com/ and most of the BP functionality can be found under /members/.
@hnla, completely agree about the trouble shooting steps. Since the code is spread in all the places(bp-custom.php/plugins/themes functions.php). It is really difficult sometime to find the culprit. Appreciate the steps you guys suggest and follow for the purpose. Let us have some feedback from Naved to find the error 
@sbrajesh tbh when I read “into their home page” I imagined the OP might actually be using your plugin for re-direct but the post is unclear and needs clarification. It’s vital to try and get across to people how to perform basic troubleshooting so that they can come prepared in advance with the kind of detail that’s needed to help out.
First rule of thumb is to disable plugins and return to default theme if the issue goes away then you know it’s either a custom theme or plugin issue then when the actual item has been identified questions can be addressed directly to the author or of course brought here.
@hnla,
Agree with you. and btw, the plugin predates the functionality in BP. At that time, there was no such redirection functionality in bp.
@naved,
yes, I will advise to with the route @hnla suggests.
@mercime – Took your advice, reuploaded BuddyPress and /register still redirects back to the base site.
What I meant by reinstalling WP is similar to what I just did with BP – download a fresh copy of the install from wordpress.org and manually overwrite the files on the FTP site, with the exception of wp-config.php so it still points to the right DB with the right credentials.
I believe this WP was installed manually, but the server does include some legacy folders that have nothing to do with WP – drupal, etc – which I suspect may interfere with the overall performance of the site.
@Brooker, cool man
it’s a shame this function isn’t already built into the core, think the activity stream needs a good update
@hnla @Paul gibbs i think the problem is preety much solved i dont know how it has when now i m creating any groups it is showing just once …..bt now thw problem is how to delete that duplocate groups ….like vuniteu is 3 times bt i need it only 1 times so how to do that …? plz help me in detail
@hnla u mean i have to delete the groups from mysql client inside cpanel with qaurry language..is that u mean ?
Thank you all.
Sorry, I left yesterday as It was 5 AM in the morning here. Thanks for for all your suggestions. I am putting the update.
@gregfielding , you are right Greg. I am including the auto delete on uploading new image.
@modemlooper , yes I believe that can be modified. In this plugin I did not work to provide custom css, rather my point was, just upload and go .
@mercime, @pcwriter
Thanks to both of you for the suggestions. Including now.
@djpaul, Thank for the suggestion Paul. I appreciate it.But that is not required
@hnla no worries. When I publish a plugin as free, I do love to support them. So, the updates will follow today . Btw, It is on Github, so always welcome to fork
Thank you. I’m trying WPMS Global Content right now. The plugin adds a common header and footer.
== I tried every BP theme that I have and no matter what it still displays the same. … I disabled any plugin having to do with the comments. ==
Then try to deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress, not only the ones having to do with the comments, and change to bp-default theme.
== I would like to have to when people click the reply button, the reply form pops up in a lightbox. ==
No plugin available at this time for that kind of pop up.
== I noticed BP only works on the main site and this thread appears to confirm that you can only have one instance of BP correct ==
@Stigmartyr That was three months ago. Since then, there’s http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/
@LPH2005
The plugin only styles the adminbar on the main site of the network. On all sub-sites or blogs, the default adminbar styles are inherited so it will look just like here on bp.org.
Thank you both. I couldn’t remember the name …
@pcwriter – do you believe this will give the same look across the network, which uses different themes?
@sbrajesh
It would actually be very cool if users could have options to change background image or color, either just in their profile or, click, apply the change to the whole site.
@sbrajesh – Now you’ve done it. We’re cooking up with more feature requests
… add option to change background for groups as well?
Thank you.
