WP started out primarily as a blogging tool.
The default home page for BuddyPress using the bp-default theme is the blog index page like you see at http://testbp.org/
If you want a static page in front page and have a “blog” link read https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page
i will check it out thanks pc

Is there a reason why you need to change the URL profile member’s link? There is no advantage what you really want.
i had the same issue, theres a plugin that solved it for me. its called
Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress
and its by
Boone Gorges
hope it works for you like it did me.
Amazing! I was exploring the documentation, and found this page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/
What’s amazing is that the example used is EXACTLY what I was looking for! wow.
Thanks Universe! & Whoever decided to use THAT particular example.
/*
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/
Removing the links automatically created in a member's profile may be done by adding the following function to the bp-custom.php file.
*/
function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 50, 2 );
}
add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'remove_xprofile_links' );
== Is there really no support for this issue? ==
Know that except for the Lead Dev, support is given by volunteers. Feel free to bump if your question has not been answered after 24 hours. Stay calm, cool and collected.
== A site I’m working on ==
Is the site WP or a another kind which you want to integrate with WP/BP?
== BuddyPress to feature the activity and work of its users. Is BuddyPress capable of doing this? ==
If site is WP, sure it can. Know that the activity will only be recorded starting from the time you activate BuddyPress. I think there’s a plugin that can get users’ posts from existing multisite to be listed, just can’t recall which one and if it’s been updated.
== How do users use the BuddyPress Like plugin to ’like’ the work other users do? ==
Members click on Like button. Or did you mean something else? You would have to be more specific.
Sure they can. Unless you change your home page to show something else.
I think I have this working, but came across a different issue preventing me from fully testing.
Here’s the code I was working with…
`
<label for="”>
<input type="text" name="” id=”” >`
to cut the long story short ..if i installed wp on my server (host acc.) and created database for it …so after tht wp is up & ready ..so my next job ll be activating bp …so i ll do that after that…after that i fix the parmalink and all that so now if any one acces http://www.my-domain-name.com ……. ll my users be able to view my buddypress site’s home page ……?
Also, when I’m replacing `value=””` with `value=””` (using the correct field number) I’m blowing up registration.
Did that happen to you?
@xberserker — I’m looking for exactly the same thing.
Were you able to get it to not put the text above the field box?
Neither me can make it work properly…
I post a reply in to the link you mentioned
Did anyone work out how to make breadcrumbs work properly?
I tried the above, but
– it adds “Members” or “Groups” after the current page link
– it does not display the current page name, but its link instead..
It would be nice if there was a update guide for plugin developers/users. I don’t know if it is possible, but it would be nice. 
There’s a plugin to use hashtags within buddypress activity (BuddyPress Activity Stream Hashtags). However as far as I know there’s no “trending topics” plug-in anywhere.
@goldbrick
Sure is! Add the following to your stylesheet:
div#enhanced-categories ul li {
display:inline-block;
width:49%;
vertical-align:top;
}
display:inline-block sets the li items up side-by-side as long as width is less than 50%. vertical-align:top ensures that each li item stays aligned at the top when the other is expanded (try without the vertical-align to see the difference).
To make your css learning curve a lot easier, install the Firebug for Firefox addon. You can play around with various settings on any web page (even if it’s not yours) until you get the look you want, then simply copy the style rules to your stylesheet and upload. http://getfirebug.com/
Hope this helps!
EDIT: if you add a 3rd main category, you’ll need to set width to 33% or less to accommodate it on the same line, or leave it at 49% if you want them in 2 columns (I’m guessing that’s how it’ll display).
I think the reality will be a simple search filter like on WP. It either will work with 1.3 or it wont, and I think as long as your plugin falls out of working with 1.3 and the dev hasnt updated I would consider it abandoned. The issue I have is when they wont admit it or have taken money in offer of support but disappear.
I’m going to be doing work on group docs here soon, the older developer has been super busy and he graciously let me work on the code with him to get it to 1.3 So Id say contact the Dev and see what their status is. I’m actually writing up stuff for Group Docs right now.
Some plugins are going to break with 1.3 Most should be rewritten for it. I think 1.3 will be the stable ground for plugins beyond this point as the biggest difference is a solid framework from 1.2
Really nice site @valuser thanks for sharing.
Just like when you install WP, users will see xyz.com not xyz.com/wp-admin
Member rating would be a great feature for BuddyPress… I’m kinda surprised there’s nothing like it already out there. My vote for it.
It’s really the simplest of tasks. You will need to use one of the many favicon generators as suggested by @suchaqd, then add a single line of code in header.php. I’ve added mine directly after the stylesheet declaration, i.e…
` <link rel="stylesheet" href="” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
`
Just make sure you call it ‘favicon.ico’
They will as long as you have set your dns records correctly.
Ok. Here’s the update. Server checks out with proper versions of PHP and MySQL. Latest version of both WP and BP. Mod_Rewrite is functioning. Proper directories are writeable. WP is fully functional. Raw install… no other plugins active. Default theme. Looked through error log (nothing showed up). I’m stumped. Still getting the same error.
Server tech guy says “I looked through the logs also, and did not see any errors in the error log either. I also saw that the request for ‘/wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s=’ returned 200, which means OK, so that is a bit weird.”
Any insight is supremely appreciated.
i am using 4 plugins BP Redirect to Profile for Buddypress , BuddyPress Privacy Component (BP Privacy, BP_Authz, or BPAz) , oEmbed for BuddyPress, SeoPress.
Thanks again, @stwc. I’m still working on this issue and will report back with my findings. It has to be something on the sever…
