@pearl91 I assume latest BP./WP versions. Linux or Windows hosting? Have you changed your Settings > Permalinks from default to other listed?
You need to add the `div.padder` style I posted above if you want your BP pages to look like the rest of the site. You haven’t added the styles from Twenty Ten which brings in the widths of `div.item-list-tabs` and `div#subnav.item-list-tabs`
Use Firefox and install Firebug add-on and you’ll be able to ID the areas you need to change.
@idowu go to Blogs Directory page, beside the title “Blogs Directory” is a “Create a Blog” button. Click on it.
@jageshmk change to bp-default theme. If it doesn’t work, then start a new topic of your own. Add info about WP/BP version, Linux or Windows hosting. Theme/plugins used, etc.
You’re welcome. Marking this as resolved.
@sushit
Check out JanRain’s plug in. It works great and you get other social network as well.

@mercime
Thanks very much for your help. 
The problem’s solved now.
@mercime well that fixed that issue at least cosmetically after reinstalling the sitewide forum I now can’t get to it at all. Can’t make a menu item to get to it and one isn’t made.
Too many headaches… I’m thinking it’s garbage like this is why I gave up on BP the last time. Think I’m going to look for other options for the forum at least.
There are two on the Featured Plugin page. Take a look – https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/. Hope that helps.
Hi
I have installed Buddypress in my wordpress site.
But create an account or sign up showing Register by /register url and its not showing create an account form for buddy press.
Its showing only register and nothing else.
Please give me a solution to fix this issue
Thanks

@mercime Hi,
Thanks for your reply I have copied the whole lot of those style mods over and changed a few of the minuses to, for example, 0 but to no avail so far! Unless it hasn’t updated on my laptop?
If you still see the overlaps on the website, do you have any recomendations of how much to change the numbers by?
Thanks for the heads up about the URLs I will sort that.
Thanks very much
== My theme is the arras theme. ==
@allthingsbetting You could copy over some of the style mods to twenty ten theme to the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet then adjust to taste – esp `div.item-list-tabs` and `div#subnav.item-list-tabs` where you have to bring in the negative margins which expand the width of those navigation items.
Add also the following to your style.css
`div.padder {
background: #fff none;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 0 10px 15px 0;
padding: 0 15px;
}`
Plus some unsolicited advice – you have URL’s with members-3/ and groups-2/ which is not cool. Back up DB.
Delete the current Pages “Members” and “Groups”. Go to trash and delete all “Members” and “Groups” Pages > Permanently. Go create new Members and Groups pages. You’ll see clean members/ and groups/ url’s
Apache rewrite_module may be off. If you’re running WAMP 2.2 you can go to Apache >> Apache modules, scroll down and make sure that ‘rewrite_modules’ is checked. Here’s another way, too…

== Now the group forums will not uninstall. ==
@angrywookie There’s a final task for the group forums uninstall -> delete the bb-config.php file generated when group forums were installed. You’d find bb-config.php at the root of your WP install, the same directory where you have your wp-config.php file https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/4/#forums-faqs
People are used to Facebook and go for the quick default: Posting onto the group’s wall. They do that even if I’ve asked them a question in the forum. -_-
QUICK AND DIRTY: The easy quick solution is: Disable the forum. (though I’ve heard in other posts that some have had trouble uninstalling a group’s forum recently…)
But that doesn’t always work. Sometimes a group just needs a forum. (although the straight-up stream is pretty nice)
At that point, what do I do?
LESS QUICK, STILL DIRTY: A somewhat lame solution is to use BP group extras to make FORUMS the landing page for the group on a group-by group basis.
Ideally, I’d like people to see the activity stream, but not be able to post directly onto it, but rather to be simply directed (like on BuddyPress.org) to the various forum topics.
HALF THE ANNOUNCE-GROUP PLUGIN: Any thoughts on how to do this? Someone suggested commenting out parts of the “announcements-only” plugin to block posting to the stream but allow forum participation. Would that work? @dwenaus
HALF THE BP-GROUP EXTRAS PLUGIN: If I was going to go the BP-group-extras route and just diminish the activity stream via navigation rather than privilege, I’d want to comment out the “custom fields” part of the group, since my groups don’t need that and it would just confuse users. Thoughts on how I would do that? @slaFFik Or is there some more simple way of reordering the group’s tabs / landing page?
FINALLY, is there some simple and/or creative way I’m failing to think about this?
All I know is that this is a SIGNIFICANT issue for me. In my experience so far, forum discussions and activity stream discussions DO NOT play nice with each other from a user experience standpoint, and sites like buddypress.org and facebook.com understand that and don’t allow it. I’m just wondering what “the common person” can do to avoid that same conflict.
Thanks much,

After more research this is expected behavior in WP Multi Network. Users are only added to the main blog, not the sub blog they join on. Kinda weird but that is the way it works.
I tried the WPMU Default User Role https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-default-user-role/screenshots/ but it didn’t work for me.
Multisite User Management https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-user-management/installation/ did the trick!

BuddyPress needs a recognition plugin. I’ve looked at most of them that attempt this and either they do not work or do not provide the recognition that would be usable in an organizational environment.

I’ve got buddypress installed, adapted my theme correctly, set and reset permalinks multiple times, got all of the main pages working fine (memberlist, activity stream, groups, forums, etc) however when I click on any of the links on the buddy bar, it gives me a 404 error. Basically anything that links off my domain like /members/**name** doesn’t work and gives me a 404 error. Please help! I’ve tried all of the common steps to fix this and have been googling for days but no luck..
I have put the buddypress on my front page and everything is working right accept the front page activity stream, it wont allow me to make a comment or choose favorite, plus the load button is not working. I need help.
Hi, does anyone know if there’s a way to create an option on the buddypress user profiles where it can list the users’ comments, so that the user can see a list of everything they commented on. I searched to find a plugin, but came up empty-handed.
Thanks!
