How do I create my site to be only visible to my registered users.
per @r-a-y: “Is there any reason why you need multisite?”
It is my understanding that as of WordPress 3.0 MU was automatically built into core. I am not using multisite, per se, that I know if. At least I did not intent to use it. I do know that I have 2 dashboards in my WordPress under My Sites:
(1) Network Admin
(2) my Buddy Press site
It does get a little hairy lopping through both dashboards to make settings tweaks and activate and deactivate plug-ins, etc.
I will certainly give ‘wpmu_signup_user_notification‘ a try…
Hi, @sakarya I’ve managed to get that kind of functionality in my site by using groups with added custom extra fields. That way I can sub-categorize them and list them in any special ways I want. Maybe that could help you… let me know if you want me to tell you more, regards
So @mercime, if I already have bbPress installed and running, I should download it and install it again? It’s bbPress that drives this warning message?
When you upgrade to the latest version of BuddyPress (1.6), you will be presented with a new little wizard to help get you on the right track.
Are you doing that ?
look here

@mercime The images that are not resizing properly are the user’s avatars. The various sizes of the uploaded avatars are in the folders, but the correct file is not being brought up by the function.
I’ve also noticed that in my pre-upgrade installation (before I switched to Buddypress 1.6 and the latest Salutation theme version) that the user avatars were all working properly in the front end, but in the backend adminbar the avatar being called was wrong as well. I had already switched to the wp adminbar using `define(‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’, true);` .
@philippmuenchen Sorry to hear that you’re having the problem, but actually relieved to know that I’m not the only one… hopefully we can get this figured out!
I recommend against downgrading unless you have a database backup from the old version of BuddyPress. In 1.6, we changed how the BP DB version number is stored in the database, and adjusted the schema of the Activity table.
I suspect running a 1.6-versioned database against a 1.5-site will cause BuddyPress to think it’s not installed, and force you to run through the install wizard again (as it’s already installed, of course, I’m not sure what would happen). It’s then possible you would have problems updating to a 1.6+ version of BP in the future because we’ve changed where/how the BP DB version number is stored in the database.
We’ve got a 1.6.1 coming out very soon, which fixes compatibility with plugins and themes that were doing things wrong before, in ways that we didn’t anticipate when we touched parts of the code in 1.6. The most common themes with problems — Salutation and Custom Community — have already or will soon release updated versions of those themes to work with 1.6, too.
Hi, everyone! just wanted to make a plugin for “auto-load more activity items when the user reaches the page footer” and since my packed code should do everything “automatically” I was wondering if someone could give me a quick example of how to “replace” a piece of code in the buddypress theme or what is the best way to do this (include a “child theme” instead? or what?).
What I need to do with the plugin is to automatically replace some code in:
`
buddypress/bp-themes/current-theme/activity/activity-loop.php
`
For my customized code.
Can you help me please? I’m giving the plugin away for free if I can manage to pack it 
THANKS!!!
@davidkooo, you can easily achieve that with css by replacing “notification text” witth image icon like facebook and only the number of notification will show on the image.
somthing like: {background:url(_inc/images/alerts-icon.png)center no-repeat transparent !important;text-indent: -9999px;width:147px;height:25px;}
Note: you have to adjust accordingly.
Hi, @shawn38 Glad to see someone found this useful
I have actually optimized the code to work flawless and best performing. I could make a plugin with it just have to learn how to replace some code that is already given with BuddyPress, I will investigate that today and hopefully upload the plugin really soon. Will let you know with another message here. Thanks a lot for your encouraging words! 
@naijaping yeah it works, but how to get rid of “Notifications” text… I would like to display only number. Thanks.
i have some misconceptions to be get rid of..plx.
do social networks could not get the organic traffic as compared to forums?
is this true google gave more respect to the forums than social networks (google shows more results of forums in search)?
in buddypress there are forums too, how google sees those forums?
with the view of webmaster, technical pros and cons of, social networking vs forums?
and the last one,
is this better to create just a forum or a forum with social network i.e buddypress or more better all of them to create a dynamic site having a forum with subdomain?
When I update to Buddypress 6.0, I get the error, “Buddypress is in Maintenance Mode right now. Mapology will be available again soon! ERROR: Buddypress is undergoing some maintenance at the moment. Buddyvents will be back shortly!”
Can you help me figure out what this means?
Hmm, the one I’ve set up seems to use buddypress.

The homepage links a username to /buddypress/members/admin/
@zkwc are you using the bp-default theme or a child theme of bp-default theme?
I have just installed BuddyPress, and then decided to install site-wide forums, but on activating the plug-in, got this error message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 616352 bytes) in /home/birthpho/public_html/web/wp-admin/includes/admin.php on line 29
I have followed the instructions on http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ but when I un-check Discussion Forums in the Components Tab, the Forums tab disappears. I also tried installing the BBpress tab separately, but I get the same error.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I happened to encounter the error “Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in…..wp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-corebp-core-template.php on line 787” Any news on the update?
@davidkooo, the code i gave you above work like a charm, i dont use admin bar i code a custom one in my header.
You can see it in action here : http://goo.gl/4OqMP
Am still working on the site.
userame : demo
password :demo
@indieconnect curious why it’s borking in Chrome in your installation. What theme are you using? What plugins are activated?
BBP_Theme_Compat is provided by bbPress.
Hi
Over a week ago now I updated to latest BuddyPress plugin version & my theme format disappeared.
See my WordPress blog @ http://richard-dickinson.com/
This is the error message:
Fatal error: Class ‘BBP_Theme_Compat’ not found in /home//public_html/richard-dickinson.com/wp-content/themes/animassrdblogbp_kid/functions.php on line 32
I thought it might have been a bbPress plugin problem as I updated to the latest plugin version of bbPress at the same time. It doesn’t seem to be a bbPress issue but a BuddyPress one-see http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/theme-format-lost-on-latest-bbpress-update/#post-116948
I am most grateful for help to fix my WP site theme format & look forward to helpful replies-thanks
@Roger Coathup: how to edit this to work without admin bar? I know I need to replace $wp_admin_bar, but with what? I want to append it to my header, which is `
`
`/**
* Build the “Notifications” dropdown
*
*
@package Buddypress
*
@since BuddyPress (1.5)
*/
function bp_members_admin_bar_notifications_menu2() {
global $wp_admin_bar;
if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
return false;
$notifications = bp_core_get_notifications_for_user( bp_loggedin_user_id(), ‘object’ );
$count = !empty( $notifications ) ? count( $notifications ) : 0;
$alert_class = (int) $count > 0 ? ‘pending-count alert’ : ‘count no-alert’;
$menu_title = ‘‘ . $count . ‘‘;
// Add the top-level Notifications button
$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
‘parent’ => ‘top-secondary’,
‘id’ => ‘bp-notifications’,
‘title’ => $menu_title,
‘href’ => bp_loggedin_user_domain(),
) );
if ( !empty( $notifications ) ) {
foreach ( (array) $notifications as $notification ) {
$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
‘parent’ => ‘bp-notifications’,
‘id’ => ‘notification-‘ . $notification->id,
‘title’ => $notification->content,
‘href’ => $notification->href
) );
}
} else {
$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
‘parent’ => ‘bp-notifications’,
‘id’ => ‘no-notifications’,
‘title’ => __( ‘No new notifications’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘href’ => bp_loggedin_user_domain()
) );
}
return;
}
add_action( ‘admin_bar_menu’, ‘bp_members_admin_bar_notifications_menu2’, 90 );`

@presence-films Try using my approach to registration, see it here: http://www.snaplist.net23.net/register/ I have 0 spammers and the sites been live for a year. @modemlooper Sounds like a great idea. Could you make the conditional so that the admin can decide which condition is applied and if the user does not meet the criteria the plugin prevents them from posting?
haven’t actually tried it myself but it would be something like:
`
`
and I’d put that just after the latest updates endif in the members-loop.php
I’m not a great coder, just learning with buddypress. Let me know if it works
PS: by doing it that way, you can add some style in style.css
