@mercime thought hat might be your answer 
no worries, thanks..
@michaeljdornan it’s unfortunate that sbrajesh’s Join Blog Widget for WPMS doesn’t work in your WP MultiNetwork /BP MultiNetwork installation. Following options are available: you’d have to code one or hire a developer to do so for you or wait for a developer to release a free plugin just like the Join Blog Widget for your set up.
Hello there!
First time poster so please bare with me,
I installed buddypress a few months ago, to use on my website ( Ive created a social networking website for foreign medical students),
I think when I was integrating things I messed up and did not click to add the blog section. Now I do want to use it.
my website,
http://www.almostmd.com
Okay guys I love buddypress default directory pages because they meet the stable requirements for social networking but other than them whatever pages I make it doesn’t have the customizations that the directory pages have, how can I add my own made pages to the directory so buddypress would recognize them as directory. what I mean by customization, is that okay for example the commenting system of buddypress is awesome but I dont like the wp default commenting system.
Will the next version of BuddyPress support desktop notifications?
Good day house, i just installed the buddypress on my site though want to use it for my site social networking but as a sub-domain on trends.com.ng/community.
My problem is that the page look somehow odd with a drop down box that contain all what suppose to be on the menu, could this be because of the theme i am using even as i have installed the buddypress template pack
@mercime
I sent in a ticket to the theme author. I don’t think expecting a BuddyPress theme to support sidebars is an unreasonable expectation.
Thanks.
You’re welcome @timetraveler – Marking this as resolved.
@gswaim as I see it, the theme dev intentionally made the BP pages full-width.
Initial scan shows that you’d have to revise around 16 BP template files within 6 BP folders included in your supermassive theme (I assume they are bec. dev said it was BP-ready) to change the HTML markup and add style classes as well as sidebar to the BP pages. Not sure whether you’d have to pay the theme dev to provide the revised pages or if he/she would provide revised template files for free.
Hi @mercime, so it seems the plugin you suggested would work great if I were using sbrajesh plugin, but I’m using wpmuguru plugin so it doesn’t seem to work….
Any other ideas? Seems such a basic need to allow people to be part of the sites rather than admin control it, I sent a message to wpmuguru Ron and got the below:
“This question doesn’t have anything to do with BP Multi-network. If you have a single WP network with subsites, you still have the same situation where people cannot become members of sites (without assistance).
Either a super admin or the site admin has to add a user to a subsite in WP networks.”
Thank you @boonebgorges First tests looking good except for a couple of my custom bp-default child themes 
Have to update BP Codex on new Activity Stream panel, group/sitewide forums, etc
@tomcoady we are aware of the search issue on this site. I suggest you use Google in the meantime with “buddypress.org keywords or phrases” as this site’s been indexed pretty well
@websitevala start off with hardening your WP installation before activating BuddyPress https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress
Hi Auktweena — that plugin is not related to BuddyPress, so you would be better off asking questions on the forum for the plugin, or on the wordpress.org forums.
As for step 3 – that’s standard ‘stuff’ for integrating a plugin’s templates into the theme you’re using for your website. This article gives you an introduction to theme development in WordPress: https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
Generally, theme work requires PHP development experience. In your case, to get the basics up and running, it looks like you just need to copy some files… you’ll need an FTP client to navigate and copy / move around the files on your website.
I installed the buddypress plugin and used the default theme to try the registration but the users could not receive the activation email?!
Can someone please tell me why this is happening? I have a deadline for this that’s fast approaching and I need to really resolve this issue
Thanks!
There is not difference between WordPress users and BuddyPress users – they are the same thing on a BuddyPress enabled site.
You would be best using WordPress user capabilities, and then some logic in your template code to authorise / reauthorise access based on those capabilities.
Just about anything is possible if you are a good PHP developer.
Thanks for the speedy reply.
OK, so how about this – is this possible?
USER A is a standard WordPress user and can view all pages on site, including Buddypress user profiles. No profile of their own or ability to send PMs necessary.
USER B is a Buddypress user and can create profile, groups etc.
@justjd23 – if you are looking for a BuddyPress developer, you can post on the jobs board: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/forum/
Who can tell me how to troubleshoot where and how to hook the email checker to see on bp register page because I test the invalid email on buddypress register page it goes through the the step even though I have the si captcha recabtcha and wangguad on that page. any body can help or idea suggestion. Another problem is the bp register page title, description, and key word belong to the post title description and keyword. ant idea here
I’m looking for a plugin that will let me change the current tabs in BuddyPress Groups and also add additional tabs. I’m working on creating an education site for a client, where the teacher can create a group (which I want to call a course). Within the Group, there are tabs that have the following names:
o Syllabus & Assignments
o Tests & Quizzes
o Course Wiki
o Course Forum, Chat Rooms & Discussions
o Course Lecture & Blog
o Course Multimedia (Videos, Photos, Audio)
o Course Q&A
o Course Wiki
o Course Store
o Documents & Downloads
o Ratings, Reviews & Awards
o Links & Resources
o Instructor Contact Information
Each tab is a wordpress Page, that the teacher can edit as they would any other page. Is there a plugin that does that? If not, can anyone design a plugin like that?
Alright, so I’ve been using this:
http://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/how-to-edit-group-meta-tutorial/
to make my own “plugin” to display a bunch of custom fields, but I want them to display in an area, not in the header of the group page. I was linked to:
http://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/groups_get_groupmeta/
but with no direction on how to use it. I am really new to PHP. I can maneuver through it, and frankenstein things together, but I am mainly a designer. could someone give me in-depth instruction on how to do this?
Thank you @mercime! Worked perfectly . . .

“Forum Topics” and “Forum Replies” are added by BuddyPress, and work for bbPress 1.x (aka Group Forums).
“Topics” and “Replies” are added by and are work for bbPress 2.x content (aka Site Wide Forums).
If you’re using bbPress 2.1, you don’t need to use Group Forums. Go to your WordPress admin > Settings > BuddyPress, then Components, and disable Group Forums.
Then go to the bbPress Settings page, and if you scroll to the bottom, there will be a “Enable Group Forum integration” box (or similar).
