== Edit your database? Not sure I would know what to do there ==
@elangley Please be aware that when you go WP Multi-Network and then go BP MultiNetwork, you would be expected to know or to learn how to make some changes in database. At this point, you might need to hire a developer. But if you’re game to proceed on your own, please remember to backup your database and server files before going through these processes which require more technical expertise than basic installations. That way, you could revert to previous installation if something goes awry.
Confirmed that the two plugins have broken layouts in IE. You’d have to bring this to the attention of the plugin developers. Note however, that these two plugins have not been updated since mid-2011

I’m having problem regarding registration process in buddypress.
I am building index page now. what i want to do is that if user is not logged in, i want to show login page and registration page together. However, the problem is that if i do like this
require_once( get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/registration/register.php’ );
I only can see “create an account” . I don’t want to click this when i want to sign up, but i want
login page and signup page are put together. Is this possible?
Then, please give some advice.
I appreciate it.
This code is what i have tried.
`
<div id="post-” >
<a href="” rel=”bookmark” title=” “>
<?php printf( __( '%1$s in %2$s‘, ‘buddypress’ ), get_the_date(), get_the_category_list( ‘, ‘ ) ); ?>
‘
‘ . __( ‘Pages: ‘, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘after’ => ‘
‘, ‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’ ) ); ?>
<?php the_tags( '‘ . __( ‘Tags: ‘, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘, ‘, ‘‘ ); ?>
<?php } else {
wp_login_form();
require_once( get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/registration/register.php’ );
}
?>

The installations instructions are not very clear for BP Multi Network, for instance,
deactivate BuddyPress on your sub network(s).
Edit your database and remove the bp- settings for the subnetwork from wp_sitemeta and wp_X_options where X is the blog ID of the main site in your sub network.
Edit your database? Not sure I would know what to do there…

Problem with this is that each BuddyPress site is different. Such a guide would be almost useless.
@mercime thanks for the response. To answer your questions:
WP version = 3.3.2
BP version = 1.5.5
Hosted w/Hostgator
I went through the Installation Wizard, step-by-step and confirmed everything. I performed and confirmed each step several times.
Site URL: boostego
WP Theme = Themefuse: Sportedge
I did not install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin to make the theme compative with BuddyPress. I’m not sure of what the steps would be to “fix the HTML structure of the BP template files”. Could you please elaborate? TIA..
Tried searching here but every search ended up back at the blog page instead of search results (?) How do you search this forum?
Latest Buddypress installed in multisite environment. All latest files. Default BP Theme. When I click Members tab I see the list of members. When I click a members name i am taken to the Home page, not the chosen member’s profile page. This can’t be the expected behavior, can it? Why am I not being taken to the member’s profile page?
Thanks
Justin
Hello,
Is there a help file that could be posted to BuddyPress to give new users instructions on how to use the features. Not talking so much about admin, but simply for members so they can quickly get up to speed on using it.
Thanks

I’m setting up a BuddyPress powered forum for the 2012-2013 school year for the classes I teach.
I’m using WordPress 3.3.2 and BuddyPress 1.5.5. I waffle back and forth about whether I want to use bbPress or not. I’m not sure what the benefits of that are.
At any rate, I have some of my current students testing it out, seeing what they can get away with, how to earn points, use the forum, etc.
They found they can leave a group pretty easily, which is not really what I want. I need to be able to restrict joining and leaving groups since each group is a period of the class.
How can I limit access to and leaving groups?
after work tonight im just going to try and follow this guide….
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
is that what i need to do to fix it?
Thanks again
When searching these files, i cant find the exact code you wrote. for instance in activity, i found
`
<div id="post-” >
`
instead of
`
`
so I think i’m still lost here….?
Thanks, Hugo, but this is what the problem is; I want to do a thing I never have a problem with anywhere except with BuddyPress and it’s a simple thing I want to do.
Since I understood precisely ZERO amount of your post I can’t do anything with that information. This is the problem with BuddyPress: if you’re not a coder, you’re screwed.
Is it not possible at all to give me instructions I can understand or provide me with code I can copy and paste into the appropriate files? The advice I took was from this website. I followed them to the letter. I copied and pasted the code. The website is a disaster.
What I need is either clear instructions that I understand and can immediately implement or code that I can copy and paste. I also need to be told *where* the code needs to go and whether or not anything else needs to be in that particular file. I’m a noob. I know that. But I’m a noob that wants to learn and I can’t learn when I’m a) confused and b) frustrated.
I have either received a) half of the instructions I needed to do this or b) the wrong instructions from the beginning.
What I need is all the instructions, and they need to be correct, or I’ll have to look for another solution because BuddyPress is not the one for me or the website I’m working on.
Hi again Paul,
I noticed that you’re not able to sign up with usernames such as “activity”, “groups” or “members”. It seems like BuddyPress stops users from being able to do this to stop any conflicts. I’d pretty much only need to add “about”, “login”, “terms” and “contact” to the list of ‘outlawed’ usernames as these are the only pages I need on my site right now.
Hope you can help.
Wendy BuddyPress customization isn’t for beginners you do need a degree of dev experience definitely a basic understanding of PHP / CSS/ and markup.
In reference to the header I thought that was sorted out in the other thread? In which case it oughtn’t to be raised again as it’s a bit misleading, if however it is still an issue post back on the other thread.
I noted that your child custom themes functions file had the BP enqueue function along with it’s wrapper function:
`<?php
if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {}
endif;
?>
`
That doesn’t look right, I would remove that unless the child theme actually handles loading styles somewhere else as this will prevent BP loading any styles – which may be the intention, mercime may be able to confirm that this is correct.
As for the headers sent error this may be due to having white space in the file after php tags are closed, that is after the final ‘?>’ you might have an actual carriage return which acts as actual parsed data if that’s so it needs to be backspaced out.
@Hugo I don’t think @kramugs was being particularly helpful.
@kramugs I’ve deleted that link, could you briefly explain what you think the solution is and then how the link helps – as it stood the link looked to have no relation to the topic in hand especially given the query appended ‘?=african mango’
Thanks, Mercime. After that, what can I do to fix whatever is causing the problems? So far I’ve found BuddyPress to be a profoundly frustrating experience because the instructions for customizing the theme are too vague to follow correctly.
All I want to do is add a header banner that doesn’t repeat and make sure the registration page works as intended. How can I do that? When I followed the instructions given me, I ended up with a mess.
I’ve had to revert to the default for now. Is it really that hard to a) add a new header image at 401 x 80px and set it to *not* repeat?
Oh and I can’t open a development tracker ticket because the link above this post (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket/) gives me this page:
Error: Forbidden TICKET_CREATE privileges are required to perform this operation
@mercime,
In my initial testing I was having trouble getting BP Multi Network, the name of the plugin you are referring to, to work. I will start from scratch again and run some more tests though..

The ‘Post Update’ button (that a user presses to post an update in Activity) does not always show.
Users are able to write in the field but the text box doesn’t expand in size and users cannot post because there isn’t a button to press.
I’m using WP 3.3.2 and BP 1.5.5
The problem seems to occurr (but not consistently) in Chrome, Firefox and IE. All on Windows 7 PCs. No idea how Macs handle it til I test it at home tonight.
The only plugins installed are BuddyPress, Akismet and ‘BP Auto Login on Activation’.
The theme is ‘BP Columns’.
Sorry, I was doing work on my site and took the BP theme down. It’s back up. Tried removing Buddypress and reinstalling it, but it still recognizes all of the old settings. Here’s my forum page: http://www.mrhensler.com/forums/ Clicking on any of the forums yields nothing.
Got it!
go to yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-page-settings (Or buddypress-> Pages in CMS)
There you will see an option of creating a new page for Registration…
just click on it and you will be sorted..
Thanks
I wasnt trying to delete anything apart from pages within wordpress I wasnt using. I had originally installed a shopping plugin but the pages still stayed on and I thought I was deleting the registration page for that but it was for the buddy press theme.
I never went into my FTP and deleted any files only deleted the page from wordpress back office.
Now I get a message saying that The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Search Page, Register. Repair
When I got to the buddy press page to repair it I cant?
