I had some great help from the developer of the plugin (over here: http://online-source.net/2010/10/24/markitup-html-set-for-wordpress) who made some tweaks and I now have this working on my buddypress site
@boonebgorges Thank you very much for your help. I looked for days to get a working solution, but couldn’t get it work like you did!
HI
1, Where do I get the BP Template Pack Plugin? Do I install the Template Pack Plugin through the FTP.
2. The theme showed up when I searched for BuddyPress and it was called Suffusion theme by Sayontan Sinha. It will not let me into Dashboard to reset the theme. Is there a themes folder I can remove by FTP and reset to default?
Thanks!
No I don’t think so. I have this problem for my site but I don’t have buddystream. The reply for forum will cause this problem
@txs
Or maybe I can add categories for each user and set categories to show up in their activy
I want something like soup.io
@txs
@Bigjimmysisco I do not use the arras nor brownbuddy theme. I would rather roll out a bp-default child theme theme similar to Arras than take too much time to decipher all the theme’s intricacies, not that I’m going to at this time. The light at the end of the tunnel for you is that come BP 1.3, BP components will be rendered in regular Pages so hopefully lessen or eliminate any conflict.
I have long been using the BuddyPress Block Activity Stream Types plugin. What you show on the last line is what I need right now. And it’s works.
Thanks alot, @nahummadrid
Yes, I would like to see this kind of feature too please? Just been fruitlessly searching around the web for visualisation tools for my users. Such things seem to exist for Twitter as pointed out but not Buddypress. There are also tools like Graphviz and its associated plugin for WordPress but they are not dynamic and look obtuse! I imagine a front end where avatars are linked by ‘edges’ in a graph (in the mathematical sense) with the colour or width of an edge depicting the strength of user’s ‘friendliness’, i.e. based on a tally of mentions for instance? Taking it a step further by clicking on the avatar one produces a further graph showing their contributions around Buddypress (though this is less important). Thanks for the discussion. I thought I was on my own here! 
SO can we fix it or not???
@mercime, @gunju2221?
@t.sjogren
You saved the day for me! Thank you !!
In the BuddyPress plugin there is a folder bp-themes. In this folder is the default BuddyPress theme. The reason to use a child theme is to not edit these files making upgrades as easy as a few clicks.
A child theme is a WordPress theme that has a parent. The child theme gets all it’s files from the parent. If you want to override a file then you copy the file and folder structure over to the child theme.
Example: say you want to ad something to the header. instead of going into the BP plugin folder and changing something you would copy the header.php over to the child theme and edit it. Since it’s a child theme it will override the same file in the bp-default folder.
Read this on how to create a child theme. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
Another issue is if you are not using a BP enabled theme then you will have to use the BuddyPress template pack to get the corresponding files and functions working on a standard WordPress theme.
Ha ha, BuddyPress doesn’t like my Cyrillic. I said: thanks, I’ll let you know when it’s finished (po russkiy konyeshno)
Just pushed up a fix for that bp_is_current_component bit. I’ve got the plugin working on a local version of 1.2.7. Looking a bit ugly at the moment, but working.

@Boone Gorges Great, if you need translators, i can provide RU translation
Hi Paul,
“Configure Apache to listen to all requests on external IPs rather than localhost.”
That is the trick isn’t it. I have tried everything to get the computer to listen to the internet and I cannot do it. As I said before the default apache page shows from the internet but I can’t get it to open the /blogs directory.
Thanks @djpaul
Been waiting too long for 1.3 … one less bug for me to report.
Ugh, I’m blind, sorry really stupid question.
I’m sorry, and thanks for your help!
The project can be found here: https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs
It is working properly for the most part. I have to do a fair amount of work to the doc edit screen for it to be fully ready to launch.
NB: I have been developing on the BP trunk. I’ve been adding 1.2.7 compatibility where it’s been obvious, but it’s possible that it won’t work on the stable version of BP.
Sure, you can disable the forums by going to Dashboard > BuddyPress > Component Setup and switching the Forums component to Disabled.
I’m sorry, although my suffusion theme was buddypress compatible after a few tricks, I didn’t get a forum tab to appear.
Once I enabled the buddypress default theme I got the forum thing working, thanks.
One question though, I want to try out a few other forums, is there a way to delete/disable the bbpress forum for the time being, so that it doesn’t cause issues.
Like Buddypress links that don’t work etc.
@dwenaus Hi, is there any progress? How can i donate for support.
Please don’t bump your posts more than once every 24 hours.
To be clear, did you follow the steps from this page https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/buddypress-forum/ , at the bottom where it reads Process for installing bbPress included with BuddyPress?
1) Dashboard > BuddyPress > Forum Setup
2) Setup a new installation, etc
3) Then go to a group > Admin > Enable group forums
You should then see a Forum tab in the group. The bbPress software comes autoinstalled when you download BuddyPress. There is no need to download anything else.
