It is a shared hosting.. .
plugins :
akismet,bp-album,buddypress,buddypress-links,buddypress-registration-groups,buddypress-sliding login panel,category-post,exlude-pages,inbox-widget,post-highlihts,private-buddypress & wp-fb-autoconnect
I dont thinkt that this plugins can do this.
@aljuk: One thing that I did that might be of interest: only update the “active x ago” indicator when the user generates an activity that gets logged publicly (i.e. goes to the activity stream)
Like this:
`
remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘bp_core_record_activity’ );
add_action( ‘bp_activity_add’, ‘bp_core_record_activity’ );
`
@takeo I think buddypress is great! When I see people say this system is confusing it just make me confused on how they could be confused. The system is very straight forward. Do you want forum click yes and install bb press done next topic. Want groups click yes done next. For me Im running a 70+ plug-in wp-ms 3.1 bp 1.2.8.1 running a chat script. Not to forget being the leader of the whole thing then some one is using less then 30 plug-ins on single site saying this is hard. Really.Go run a phpbb 3.0 forum and try to install a social network there with a cms. To hard? “3 @mentions (99% of users are like… WTH is that?)” More like 0.3%. Wake up to 2011. We move forward why spend 2 years simplifying a system for just a small number. I dont know a line of php but I can run my site.
@all welcome to 2011
If this helps anyone…I have a multisite blog farm with buddypress and have a solution that seems to work pretty well. I can’ use W3TC because I have multiple databases.
I use memcached and batcache which speeds up the main site and all sub-blogs tremendously for non-logged in users. Batcache only applies to visitors – which protects nicely against traffic and load spikes from Digg, etc. I have a browser where I have never actually logged-in to my site that I use to test and pages routinely load in under 1 second.
But, for members, batcache doesn’t help. I’m using widget cache and gravatar caching plugins, as well as Cloudflare as a CDN. This combination works well and my page load times are tolerable but not great. PageSpeed generally from 75-85 and YSlow from 66-76 (though YSlow doens’t recognize Cloudflare yet so I think they are docking points unnecessarily).
The biggest drag on my load times – and I think for all of us BP users – is the time it takes to load all of the separate JS and CSS scripts. Of got about 30 of each. Tis the price we pay for using child themes and lots of plugins. And minifying doesn’t work, it just makes the site go screwey.
I would love to see expert advice or a tutorial for how to enable parallel loading of CSS and JS from different domains. Or, maybe there is a way to copy all of the JS files into one file. Or, a way to pick-and-choose which JS files to load in the footer (I can’t simply put them all there because some functions break).
Hope this is helpful.
What you want isn’t possible EXACTLY as you describe it.. But with this plugin you can get pretty far:

I am beginning to think that a combination of a PHP opcode cache, I.e. APC, and Batcache is all you need, along with a properly configured MySQL and web server.
This bug has been fixed on trunk (future 1.3). You can visit the above ticket for more information. Thanks to @lucianop for the ticket!
Just learned about Buddypress and it is exactly what I need.
unfortunately, I cannot seem to install it on my site.
I keep getting a whole mess of these errors:
`Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of apply_filters(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums.php on line 193`
searching for that error produced this page
I tried to work with the solutions suggested there, and, like the original poster, had no success.
any suggestions?
Thank you.
Yes, you’re right, that’s what I want to do, to have two different memberlists that can be displayed separately on two different pages.
Your solution seems to work just fine on your website. I would prefer it if there was a way to filter the members directly in the members loop for instance, but your way is pretty interesting too.
Does the ?s=xxx thing work by default on Buddypress or do I have to code it myself ? I’m kind of a beginner with Buddypress and I’m not really good in PHP, so the easier the better 
Very strange. The fact that you’re having problems with the email notification of blog comments shows that this is not a problem with BuddyPress, but is some combination of your server, WordPress, and possibly Yahoo Mail.
Have you tried reading the problematic mail through another method? POP3 or IMAP? Or maybe the same email sent to another provider like Gmail? At least that could rule out the mail client.
I can confirm this as well.
1) Download WP 3.1
2) Install plug-in for buddypress
3) activate buddypress theme
4) Use FF to login, logout
5) Go to your URL again and login it won’t refresh. You are logged in, but UI does not refresh. Chrome, Safari, doesn’t do this.
Just tested and the comment notification emails have errors as well.
I am using WPMU with BuddyPress.
Emails and their status
– Signup confirmation (error)
– Password reset (ok)
– Comment notification on blog posts (error)
– Private messaging (ok)
– User mentions ( @user) (ok)
– Friend request (ok)
Hey @boonebgorges, do you know which files are used to send the registration confirmation email? Perhaps I could test those files to try to find out if there is an error in any of the files.
thanks
i’m succesfully implemen the ithemes Builder theme to my Buddypress Activity ( http://prorebel.com/activity/ ), but unfortunately it’s broke the activity fitur. I’m trying to fix it.
Here’s how i implement the builder template for the activity index.php
`
<?php
function render_content() {
?>
<?php
}
add_action( ‘builder_layout_engine_render_content’, ‘render_content’ );
do_action( ‘builder_layout_engine_render’, basename( __FILE__ ) );
?>`
Update: it’s fixed. i’m accidentally replace the activity index.php with blog index.php
@theshooter Solved? Cool. So did manual re-uploadi of BP files solve it for you?
I’ve been working with Joomla for years (2004 – 2009), especially with community builder and also took a look at JomSocial, which isn’t that bad – but you have to pay for. There has always been discussions about SEO and security. Most annoying thing is, that more and more components and modules have to be paid – support isn’t always that good as you would expect. Buddypress lacks a few standard features Jomsocial or Communitybuilder has, but the community here is very active and helpful, so most of my needs get fulfilled. Only alternative to WP/BP: Drupal – but that takes a long time to understand (for me) if you’re not a programmer.
There are many possibilities why DB tables were not created in your install: e.g. corrupt files, the web server, CPU limitations, PHP version, memory limit etc. First thing I’d do is deactivate BuddyPress. If you installed BuddyPress via dashboard, re-upload BuddyPress files manually i.e. via FTP, cpanel, etc. Then activate BuddyPress and go to BP panel and save settings. Check database.
If that doesn’t work, please provide more info including
– Did you install WP in the domain root, in subdiretory or in subdomain?
– Which company provides your hosting? Or are you running it on your computer, XAMPP, MAMP, LAMP, etc?
– Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else?
– What PHP version are you on? PHP 4 or PHP 5.2+ or PHP 5.3+?
This isn’t exactly what you asked for, but in lieu of that this will at least encourage completion.

@kenrichman @hnla +1
I have a few weeks before my launch, so I have some time. After I squash a few other more pressing bugs, I am going to look into this. Glad I found this post
@mercime Thanks!
Was too tired, my eyes missed that line just below the comment box
Whew. OK, panic stations stand-down.
Here’s how I fixed it, hopefully without breaking anything. I renamed functions.php — that got me into the backend. I had to Network Activate Buddypress, then I renamed functions.php back again. All looks well on first glance.
I suppose I didn’t follow SOP with upgrades — I had thought that we had gotten to the point where automatic upgrading was ‘safe’ with BP.
Object lesson for others in future, I guess.
@embergermedia added backticks before and after your codes so they show up in forum pages.
== Clearly the problem is with the themplate. ==
You could be right. That theme has had different incarnations though. So are you using the stand-alone Church theme and installed the BP Template Pack to make the Church theme compatible with BP? Or, are you using the Church child theme of Genesis and installed Genesis Connect for BP Compatibility?
To isolate the problem furthere, did you deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress (and BP template pack or Genesis Connect) and see if you can log in?
