BuddyPress.org

You’re welcome. At this time, BuddyPress can only be activated once in either the main site or a secondary blog of a WP Multisite installation.

=== 2. I setup two sites (the main site and a testing site) using sub directories. ===
BuddyPress default blog when you activate it is in main site http://yoursite.com.

Therefore, if you installed WP 3.1 in domain root i.e. http://yoursite.com/, created a network, created a subsite http://yoursite.com/testing, and you want to test BP in this subsite, you need to follow this instruction https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/

1. Deactivate all BP plugins except BuddyPress. Activate BP Template Pack only.

2. Re-run Settings > Permalinks

If that doesn’t work, post the content of your .htaccess file here.

@CSDV

Or you could try a theme that already has that type of menu feature built-in. Two such themes come to mind right off the bat:
Custom Community: http://themekraft.com/theme/custom-community/
BuddyLite: http://buddylite.com/buddylite-basic/

If you search Google for Buddypress themes, you`ll likely find many more

Yes, I am having the same issue. I have spent many hours researching this.
I have gone through extensive troubleshooting in which I disabled all plugins, scratched my database completely of all bb_ and bp_ tables, removed all bb_ and bp_ references in wp_options, reinstalled BuddyPress – and still not working.
I also reviewed and verified my bp-config and wp-config to verify database, password, db_charset, db_collate settings.
I have also looked at all of the solutions in the following links:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/forum-does-not-work

I am down to the option of completely starting from scratch and installing a clean install of WP, and BuddyPress. This will take some time…

I do think it is a bug.

If you find an solution, please post it. Thanks.

Take a look here https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks where the difference between the types of permalink are explained. You have the /index.php/ in your permalink settings.This is probably because your hosting provider needs them for your normal WordPress to work, I notice you have reverted to the default which wont work for Buddypress anyway.

Ask your hosting provider for a rewrite.script file so that you can have ‘pretty permalinks’

Looks like you are using ‘almopst pretty’ permalinks i.e. has /index.php/ at the beginning. BuddyPress insists on ‘pretty permalinks’ you need to get rid of the index.php. If you are using an Apache server this is easy – just take it out. If you are on Zeus for example then you will need a rewrite script.

and the file is called “ning-members-local.json”, as per the error message you’ve posted? Check it is case-sensitive.

have you tried the passing user id to the bp_get_total_group_count_for_user(), do not use bp_total_group_count_for_user(), it just echoes the count.
like
`
bp_get_total_group_count_for_user($user_id);
//or if inside member loop you may o this
global $members_template;
$total_group=bp_get_total_group_count_for_user($members_template->member->id);
`

For using @djpaul ‘s method you need to know group Id. That is best suited when you are on a group page or you know exactly which groups you want to check.

I am having the same issue.
I also deactivated all plugins, wiped and reinstalled BuddyPress, and even dropped all bp_ and bb_ tables from the database.
Still not working. My case is not even a migration of a site to live. This is a site that has only been developed locally on XAMPP.
BP 1.2.8 and WP 3.1 on XAMPP
Any one have any solutions for this yet?

If you’re using BP-Default, you’ll have to edit your theme’s header.php and take out the links, etc. In the next version of BuddyPress (1.3), you’ll be able to create the menus like this easily.

Can you clarify if you have the JSON export of your ning site?

Doesn’t work for WP with buddypress, or ?

Me too.
God I’ve spent a weekend trying to sort our a decent forum:
bbpress would not integrate with my WP database. After a day of trying I gave up!
bbphp just did look right gave that an hour.
buddypress looks functionally good but I tried before to integrate with my Magazine Premium theme but there were too many problems .
Buddypress themes seem few and far between. Most don’t support menus (in their menu bars: not their widgets!).
The ones that do offer compatibility dont run on my site: Detox for the same reason as you and Easybuddy give another PHP error.

Havnt tried it …yet (only soooo many hours in the day!) but I’ve come across Michael Kuhlmans blog http://www.michaelkuhlmann.com/blog/2010/07/08/how-to-add-custom-menus/
who walks you though adding custom menus to the main menus of a buddypress theme.Not saying that’s what you are looking for but may be a good way of pimping a basic theme??

I’ll keep looking.

Good luck

@pjnu How had you installed bbPress for this site? Via the easy click method in BuddyPress?

@imjscn Yeah! I totally agree with you. I had tried to integrate BB to Atahualpa Theme for my http://www.studyguide.com.vn/du-hoc-anh/ site but there were a lot of troubles because of their different structures.

It’s been awhile since I’ve tried out FeedWordPress, but I believe there’s a setting for you to map blog posts to already-created users. You should try that setting out.

I wouldn’t use the “create new users” options in FWP, since any WP user will have a profile in BuddyPress.
