single user or multiple users
with this you mean roles/permissions/users?
I have tried adding all these settings, selecting all different forms of pretty permalinks, relocating my .htaccess file to various locations throughout the /var/www/html hierarchy, and restarting httpd over and over again, but none of them have worked.
The only other thing I can think of is that at one point I was using a symlink to point documentroot /var/www/html/wp to /data01/home/username/production/wp (i.e. /var/www/html/wp –> /data01/home/username/production/wp). Right now, documentroot points directly at /data01/home/username/production/wp for the VirtualHost DocumentRoot directive without using a symlink. I still can’t get WordPress posts or buddypress activity, group, member, etc. pages to appear. All 404s.
Any ideas of other things I could try?
1. Themes
Current gallery/media plugins (free and paid) compatible with BuddyPress use the bp-default theme structure. So either you create a custom theme that’s a child theme of bp-default theme or be prepared to customize any other WP theme or custom BuddyPress theme to work with the gallery plugin’s.
2. Image storage
Images are physically stored in your server for some gallery plugins. Other BuddyPress-compatible gallery plugins require you to store your images in their servers and make you pay for extra storage.
== HOWEVER, in the version of BuddyPress running on our site (version 1.2.5.2) I can’t find any directories named bp-members/ at all! Have I gone mad? Has it been moved somewhere else? ==
`/bp-members/bp-members-signup.php` is one file of the very new BuddyPress Members component. Therefore the folder is not even in BP 1.2.8 and only currently available in BuddyPress trunk at this time https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk

You can do this with the s2member plugin. In the “API/Scripting” section, you’ll find some advanced conditionals that can be added in your theme templates, or included in a custom function. If you’re using s2member, you could try adding this to your theme’s functions.php file… should work anyway 
`function remove_member_profile_nav() {
if (!current_user_can(‘access_s2member_level1’)) {
bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘profile’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘remove_member_profile_nav’, 15 );`
I just struggled with this, and I’d like to think I’m experienced with WordPress and not that stupid.
My problem was I missed the message about validating my test account, and got distracted by the avator
upload. When tried to login with my test accounts I was simply returned to the homepage with no feedback.
So people have you validated the accounts that your trying to register, and admins can we get a bit of
feedback upon logging in with a non validated account.
Looking good so far, thanks for the plugin,
Ian.
I am having the same issue. But only during recent development did that ‘my blogs’ link disappear. So I will now be retracing my dozens of hours of changes to try to figure out what i might have done that triggered the erroneous state.
Empty your cache, it will appear, it usually does not show up immediately.
It’s already uploaded but not showing. Still should be able to upload if it is offered.
Just noticed that sidebar was enabled only in posts and not pages….now i activated it and added a widget, if you check a buddypress component http://tinyurl.com/665zbnf you can see that the widget is at the bottom after the component.
Hm…really my theme’s (the one with the search box,ads etc) sidebar is actually there? Or you mean buddypress’ sidebar?
Can you spot out where is the line i have to edit or add?
Looks like you implemented some CSS from the buddypress default theme, most likely a Max-width css attribute. It’s overlapping the sidebar. I couldn’t pinpoint it off the top of my head…
It’s probably under the `/* > Global Elements` or `/* > Container`
The version of my buddypress is 1.2.8.
No, not the buddypress css, your Theme’s Style.CSS.
The easiest way to access this is in the wordpress admin –> Go down to the theme editor, and go down to the bottom to your style.css.
Now find this piece of css:
`/* Main Content
*/
#content {
width:960px;
margin: 0px auto;`
right below the last line, add
`background-color: #85C8F2;`
I’m also having a problem with activaing BuddyPress. I’ve just done a fresh install of WordPress 3.1.
I tried the automatic install from within WordPress and it just sits at the following message and doesn’t go any further. I’ve let it site for half an hour:
Installing Plugin: BuddyPress 1.2.8
Downloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.2.8.zip…
I’ve also tried to install manually. I’ve uploaded the “buddypress” folder to the “wp-content/plugins” folder and when I go into WordPress Plugins and try to activate, I receive the following message:
Error 500 – Internal server error
An internal server error has occured!
Please try again later.
I’m using 1and1 hosting…. any suggestions?
Thanks,
Hi Virutali, thanks for helping me.
You mean to add this in buddypress style.css , right ? The only theme that i have in buddypress is the default one..it’s style.css imports default.css
and here is what i did…i added background-color: #85C8F2; but nothing changes. Is there any possibility that because of template pack plugin i have to edit something else?
div#content {
float: left;
width: 100%;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 6px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 6px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 6px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;
background-color: #85C8F2;
Please advice
Did you read in the codex page given to you?
To fix this problem, enter the WordPress admin panel > Settings > Pemalinks – set to any configuration other than the default configuration. The mod_rewrite must be enabled on your server for pretty permalinks to work.
I tried all the permalinks but it still gives me this error
The requested URL /activity/ was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while
trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Please help

Ho Virtuali…forgot maintenance mode active….please try again . I need the same styling(background) and sidebar of homepage ( http://tinyurl.com/4q45s89 ) to apply to all of buddypress components…e.g. http://tinyurl.com/665zbnf
Is this possible?
Thanks
I’m sorry that your stack 
.
So I tried to comprehend as much as I possibly could from what you are writing. Are you trying to style the background of some of the components of buddypress? Like profiles and groups to match your background image?
It’s hard to get a picture also, because your site is on maintenance mode right now
Wait… do you mean a subnav? Like for instance, under profile, the subtabs are “Edit Profile, and Change Cignature?”
Could be done, wrap the bp_core_new_subnav_item call in a function which is hooked on xprofile_setup_nav action;
`/* Add the subnav items */
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘My Friends’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘my-friends’, ‘parent_url’ => $friends_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_my_friends’, ‘position’ => 10, ‘item_css_id’ => ‘friends-my-friends’ ) );
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => sprintf( __( ‘Requests (%d)‘, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_friend_get_total_requests_count() ), ‘slug’ => ‘requests’, ‘parent_url’ => $friends_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_requests’, ‘position’ => 20, ‘user_has_access’ => bp_is_my_profile() ) );
if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->friends->slug ) {
if ( bp_is_my_profile() ) {
$bp->bp_options_title = __( ‘My Friends’, ‘buddypress’ );
} else {
$bp->bp_options_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $bp->displayed_user->id, ‘type’ => ‘thumb’ ) );
$bp->bp_options_title = $bp->displayed_user->fullname;
}`
There ya go, 2 in one!
You can install BuddyPress on main site or secondary blog https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/ but the groups created follow the URL structure from where you set it up.
You can however allow a blog per group in subdomain structure, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/ but I haven’t tested it lately.
