I installed buddypress on an existing wordpress installation. I have set up a few groups that members can post in, however when I am logged in as admin I only see an option to view, or delete the post. I just want to edit it so it conforms to my blog policy..But I cannot see anywhere to do that.
== how do you edit a post created by a member in buddypress groups ==
Could you be more specific? Like are you using a group blog plugin (u mentioned groups above) or are you referring to just a regular post in main site or another blog in your install?
Installed unified search as per above link and transferred search to sidebar as per @mercime at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/search-login-bar/ . Truly Excellent tips. Just one extra step required. In Groups,Blogs,and Members Directory there remains a search bar in addition to the unified search now in sidebar. How to remove this ?
How do you mean seriously? they are not obliged to do anything really , they already provide hosting for the site and trac/svn they designate one of their team to work – I think exclusively – on .org sites, BuddyPress, and bbPress. They are not strictly obliged to do any of this remember 
Well that raises the bigger question. When is Automattic going to take Buddypress seriously?

They say this will help, but read the reviews.. i think there are some people having problems out there. But i have wp 3.1.3 and bp 1.2.8… and i cannot see the backend admin link for this! good luck though.. and let me know if this works out for you…
1) Could you put the option to create New Categories at the Front End, please?
2) I found that Categories could be selected by Front End users when creating events, but did not stay selected on save.
3) The calendar is very useful but currently shows ALL the events. Can it be adjusted just to show Events I’m Attending or Group Events?
thanks and well done on a great plugin.

I am using site5. So far so good. I have a buddypress multisite on their shared hosting service and working just fine. Just installed today, so I have not tested everything yet.
I had a 500 internal server error, but turned out to be my .htaccess file and site5 found the error when I missed it.
Thanks, stwc. I’m actually on a dedicated server that I can fully control. Is there a key resource(s) I should look at that can be increased to better accommodate?
@nlvp this is as far as I got…the goal number would have to be created manually instead of user being able to just enter it into a preset custom field. They’d have to make a custom field called Goal and enter the number.
`
<?php
$args = array_merge( $wp_query->query, array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_author’ => $bp->displayed_user->id,
‘post_status’ => ‘draft, pending’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1 ) );
query_posts($args);
?>
-
/*This will show the current word count of the listed post */
post_content));?>
/*This next piece is what I haven’t accomplished fully, it is supposed to show a custom field designated “goal” */
ID, “goal”, $single = true); ?>
`
place this in your member header. should work. maybe someone else can refine it for you and add that visual graphic progress bar. Also this is if your members are authors on the main site and that’s where the posts are.
I’d be interested if hearing if someone has figured out a way to use the Register Plus Redux plugin with BuddyPress…

Not clear whether you answered DJPaul – Did you look inside your wp-content/uploads/ folder to see if the images are being saved?
Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme, clear cache. Check if avatars show up in front end. If not, upload avatar and see if it was properly uploaded in server –> wp-content/uploads/
BP is CPU and memory-hungry on top of regular WP requirements. Depending on what web host you’re using, if you’re on a shared hosting plan, it may just be dieing due to hard limits on resources. I ran a small BP install (along with other sites) on a Dreamhost shared account for while, but have since moved to a virtual private server, because, well: it’s heavy.
That may or may not be the problem.
@adamzfun You’re welcome and welcome to BuddyPress
I’m having similar troubles. I’ve gone through the pre-install checklist, and my server is up to par and my WP install works perfectly. In an effort to keep it clean, I’m using the latest version of WP 3.1.3 with no other plugins/themes/mods/anything. I can install the plugin, but when I activate I get this:
“Safari can’t open the page “http://mywebsite.org/wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s=” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.”
At this point, the site itself and admin area are totally inaccessible. If I manually delete (or change the name) of the buddypress plugin in the plugins folder, all is returned to normal.
I’ve searched high and low and am not sure where to look. Any help is truly appreciated. THANK YOU!
And that appears to have worked. Thank you very much!
Alright, that sort of gave me an idea of what I might be doing wrong…I’ll go see if I can fix it. Thank you for replying so quickly!
