Greg, I am using W3TC for object caching (xcache opcode) and browser caching. Along with that I am using MAXCDN as the CDN (was prior using Amazon S3). MAXCDN is set now to cache almost all of my graphics, css, and javascripts -including plugins and child-themes. One of the two sites I was referring to is a straight WordPress site: http://mustech.net and the other is a BUDDYPRESS, non-multi-site (single site), site (htttp://musicpln.org – registration only).
I’ve set up a different pullzone for each of the sites using maxcdn.
You should do some research. Maybe I missed it but I don’t see any links for pre-sales support at http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/ esp. mod_rewrite? PHP 5+? GD library bundled with PHP? at least 32MB memory? etc.
There are many issues with WordPress alone on Yahoo! hosting, adding a poweful plugin like BuddyPress …

@pisanojm
What configuration of sites do you have with MaxCDN? I’ve heard there are some problems with multi-site blog farms where sub-blog uploads aren’t cached correctly.
UPDATE!
I know this hasn’t been updated in 7 months, but I needed this feature and none of the plugins and mods here worked, but I figured out a way and wanted to share it.
Add this before HTML tag in your theme’s header.php file. (Note: Be sure to replace YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME with the domain of your buddypress installation.)
`<?php
global $post;
if ( is_home()) { ?>
user_login; ?>
<?php
} else {
// User is not logged in – Display homepage
}
?>`
Now I’m using a plugin called Branded Login for Buddypress by Brajesh Singh — This plugin includes `<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="” />` on the login.php file but I’m pretty sure the normal BP login form has this as well so it should work.
Result summary:
After login the script checks if the current page is the site HOME page, if true it runs another script to see if the user is logged in, if the user is logged in it redirects them to there profile page. if the user is not logged in, or it is not the HOME page it does nothing and loads the page normally.
End Result: Instantly takes user to profile page after login, and if they try to reach the site homepage its now there profile page.
Hope this helps! working wonders for me 
@JamieWade since you’re going to allow BP Admin Bar, you don’t need `define(‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, false); ` in wp-config.php at all.
I see that you tried to resolve this issue with @pcwriter before who gave good troubleshooting tips. Another thing comes to mind, if you installed BP via auto install, re-upload BuddyPress manually via FTP, cpanel, etc. just might be missing some files. Make sure that all plugins are deactivated except BuddyPress.
If that doesn’t work, need your site URL.
Just a quantity FYI. My MAXCDN sites are serving about 200-300 megabytes of information per day. I have two highly visited sites that receive about 1000 uniques per day, so this will give you and idea as to how long one terrabyte of of data will last you with the MAXCDN lowest-price plan.
At 250 Megabytes per day that is 1 Gigabyte per 4 days. So 1000 gigabytes will give you 4000 days, but you only get that amount per year, so you would renew again after 1 year and the limits would be re-established. Even if you are pulling 1 gigabyte per day, you would have 1,000 days (again only 365 in a year). So, before you would have to be looking at a larger pay-plan with MAXCDN you would need to be pulling about 3 gigabytes of information per day to exceed the MAXCDN low-price plan limit. Just some info/thoughts.
It actually needs to read:
`remove_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’, 
;
remove_action( ‘admin_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ );`
as the admin footer hook has no priority in the current versions of buddypress (1.2.
the problem is that the script i wrote for BOW required that I branch the initial plugin. In order to get the blog comments to work, the settings needed to be saved in a multi-site format. Since then I’ve updated and improved the main plugin (without blog comments). It would take some work to re-integrate this code and provide an upgrade path to existing users so they would not lose their old rating/karma data. For this reason I don’t want to release the plugin I made for BOW. however he is free to pass it around if he likes. the best solution would be for someone else to invest in this re-integration. I could also put it up on github, but again, i don’t want to have two similar yet separate plugins in the wild. maybe I’m being to cautious. anyway.
@Darksminky What parts of the website would you recommend? The only reason I blocked parts of the site is because of profile privacy etc.
@mercime Ok I made the child theme, what do I do now? Also, I added define(‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, false); to my wp-config.php file, and a blank grey space comes at the top of the page where the admin bar should be, could this suggest problems with the coding?
@marto – in the functions.php of bp-default, change:
`require_once( TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/_inc/ajax.php’ );`
to
`require_once( STYLESHEETPATH . ‘/_inc/ajax.php’ );`
Awesome! I’m really happy with those results.. Beating Yoast is impossible since he’s not running BuddyPress.. so needs a lot less scripts And don’t forget I’m running about 30 plugins more then BP.org.. (not to brag or anything lol).
Hey guys,
Does buddypress work with a Yahoo hosted site???

You should be able to optimizing your site goes faster.
I came here to see if anyone else had any success.
Off of my head, there are no plugins like that at the moment.
But you could search for “Buddypress Suggestions” on google, might give you some answers.
Hi one more time mercime…i notice something weird, when i’m changing something in css(this happens only to those pages that i have the issue) and inspect with firebug i can see the change is there, but when i use inspect element from chrom or from opera i don’t see the change and it evens grabs css styling information from another line of the stylesheet.
For example this is what i get(this correct) in firefox when inspecting a specific element:
`
div#content form#members-directory-form.dir-form div.item-list-tabs {
background: url(“../../themes/theme/images/members_directory_menu_bg.png”) no-repeat scroll left top transparent;
border: medium none;
clear: both;
overflow: hidden;
padding-bottom: 17px;
padding-top: 15px;
width: 102%;
}
`
And this is what what i get when inspecting the same element in chrome:
`
div.item-list-tabs {
border: none;
overflow: hidden;
clear: both;
background: url(../../themes/theme/images/buddypress_nav_bg.png) top left no-repeat;
padding-top: 15px;
width: 102%;
padding-bottom: 17px;
}
`
if i remove `form#members-directory-form.dir-form` and keep only `div#content div.item-list-tabs` from my style it works also in chrome but it breaks something else that needs to use another background image and has the same id `div.item-list-tabs`
Please advice
Hi,
Sorry about my english I am not a native…
It more about the 2nd option: is the “old plugin” a BP-compatible plugin which needs updating to be compatible with BuddyPress 1.2.8 / WordPress 3.1
I have asked someone to do it in France two years ago but this person just disappears now..
And to be honest I don’t think I will be able to update it, my knowledge in php could be sum up by those three letters..
So maybe I am gonna post on this link you sent me..
Anyway, thanks a lot for the answer
Richard
I put the slide in bar there because the BP one had disappeared. Also, I have customised my footer to have links like “Support” and “Advertise” I will try out what you said, thanks

Nope. You can allow access to any user role with WP Maintenance Mode plugin.
