BuddyPress.org

You install the plugins in your WP installation via dashboard menu Plugins > Add New –
Respective plugin’s installation/notes/faqs/support are all in the links I gave above

@nickharambee Remove the BP Component Pages you want to make private from the custom menu https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/

Add the following to your theme’s or child theme’s functions.php file

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'mme_loggedin_only_links' );
function mme_loggedin_only_links($items) {
if (!is_user_logged_in())
return $items;
else
$ouractivity = '<li><a href="' . home_url('/') . 'activity' . '">' . __('Activity', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
$ourmembers = '<li><a href="' . home_url('/') . 'members' . '">' . __('Members', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
$ourgroups = '<li><a href="' . home_url('/') . 'groups' . '">' . __('Groups', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
$ourgroupforums = '<li><a href="' . home_url('/') . 'forums' . '">' . __('Forums', 'buddypress' ) . '</a></li>';
$items = $items . $ouractivity;
$items = $items . $ourmembers;
$items = $items  . $ourgroups;
$items = $items . $ourgroupforums;
return $items;
}

Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme to begin isolating what’s causing the strange behavior.

@abray, you have to include div#content in the css, that way, it will not affect widget

Not clear what you mean by “in instant WP”? What theme are you using? Screenshot or site url so we could see what’s going on.

Where is WP installed, in domain root, subdomain or subfolder. Is your multisite subdomain or subdirectory structure?

Site url? Have you tried changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress?

@nickharambee since you have group forums at http://www.yoursite.com/forums/ , to avoid conflict between the group and sitewide forums, need to have a different slug for your sitewide forums, e.g. discussions so the sitewide forums will be at http://www.yoursite.com/discussions/

== I am running a buddypress site consisting of hidden groups only. ==

@crazywhistlepig

1st, remove the Groups tab from your custom menu. We will add the link to respective group per member.

2nd, add this to your theme’s functions.php file

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'mme_my_hidden_groups' );
function mme_my_hidden_groups($items) {
if (!is_user_logged_in())
return $items;
else
$hiddengroups = '<li><a href="' . bp_loggedin_user_domain('/') . 'groups' . '">' . __('My Groups') . '</a></li>';
$items = $items . $hiddengroups;
return $items;
}

The “My Groups” link will appear at the end of the custom menu and will show up for logged in users only.

@matthew29 all are custom-coded specially for BuddyPress.org
You’d either have to create the plugins or hire a developer to do so.

@creaminta You have Joomla in your main site (plus uri’s there ends with .html) and WP/BP in a physical subdomain http://training.zbrushworkshops.com/members/admin/ which is a single WP installation.

If you do not plan to make your WP at root of http://training.zbrushworkshops.com/ a multisite installation, then don’t add `define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );` in your wp-config.php

@timetraveler we are aware of the search issue. In the meantime you can use google: buddypress.org keywords phrases and/or username (if applicable)

As for site activity – make sure you have /activity/index.php in your active theme’s folder. Change to bp-default theme and go to yoursite.com/activity (assuming you didn’t change the slug) and check if issue is resolved..

@phillymantis a guide to help you out http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/08/12/custom-post-types-comments-and-the-activity-stream-in-bp-1-5/

@luisrosario If you have enabled BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG, you will need to ensure that each active theme on your installation is BuddyPress-enabled
