Hello,
I have Buddypress installed and running smoothly on a secondary blog as instructed here on this site.
However, I now get the message “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” when I try to install group forums. I am the super admin of the main wordpress network and admin of the subdomain so I can’t see why I might have this problem.
I have searched high and low for a solution. I came across a user with the same problem here but no solution there either: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/install-group-forums-error-you-do-not-have-sufficient-permission/
Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
Will.
Hi. I am having a similar problem with my right sidebar alignment except that it’s being caused by the Buddypress plugin Group CSS which I’d very much like to use. I am using the Custom Community Pro theme. If anyone can help please respond or email and I can start a new thread on this subject (if I do I will come back and link to it here!) Thanks!
@candy2012 go to https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/ or the forum home page for whatever group you are trying to post in. Click new, head to the bootom of the page and post!
@mercime worked like a charm. They should include you in the next avengers cast! Thanks a bunch.
Hi Mercime and other php gurus 
I figure this is only a small tweak of the code, but I’m unable to fix it as I’m a NooB to wordpress and .php in particular. Do you have any idea about how to fix this issue?
Sorry to be pushy, I am just really anxious to lauch this buddypress feature to the site I’m building to my son and his like minded friends 
Regards and thx in advance.

Hi guys,
I´m sorry boring you, but I just make various searchs at the community and even at google and didn´t find any information.
Is there a limit of the number of users running buddypress? If I have a dedicated server, running with good memory and all the stuff, what would be the average limit? Does the code supports, for example, a number of 300.000, 400.000 users?
Thanks and regards,
Felipe Cavalcanti
Hi
have a big issue with the activity loop …
Say I have a friendZ. He makes friends with friendX and decides to write a “Thank you note” to the new guy.
When friendZ decides to post smth like that “thank you for your friendship” note under friend’sX profile directly, my timeline is literally spammed by such messages which are fully irrelevant to me and anybody else other than the 2 (freindZ and his new friendX)
How can I do to filter out from my general activity loop “root/activity” all those posts which where posted directly under “root/members/friendX/” ?!?!
FriendX is not even my friend, only friendZ’s new friend – I have the “pleasure” to read the crap just because friendZ is on my friend’s list.
It clutters the activity screen to an unbearable level, no fun at all
Whatever is posted by friendZ under “root/members/friendX/” should be seen by friendX ONLY.
How can I achieve that?
I have the older buddypress, before the major 1.5 update.
Thanks!
I can only speak for the bp-default theme:
– default blog pages == index.php https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/index.php
BP Corporate might just have a home.php page which trumps the index.php page per template hierarchy
– search results page == search.php https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.5/bp-themes/bp-default/search.php
== Page errors on everything I tried to do in terms of interacting with the members page- next page results, sorting, searching, etc. ==
Windows or Linux? Single WP or WP Multisite? Where is your WP/BP installed? Domain root or subdirectory or subdomain? if the two latter ones – make sure the subdir and subdom are not named the same as a BP component. e.g. groups.example.com and example.com/groups are no-no’s
== ie have you guys had any luck with getting sitewide forums working yet? ==
We’ve got both forums working together ever since BP 1.5 https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
== I’m just trying to find out out to attach categories or tags to BuddyPress posts. ==
The same way you attach categories or tags to WordPress Blog Posts in the backend
WP/BP versions? Theme used? Did you deactivate plugins other than BuddyPress to see which one is making this happen in your installation?
B. Create a BLANK sidebar-buddypress.php
Open up the sidebar-buddypress.php file and add this
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
Save file.
C. Create a BLANK footer-buddypress.php file. That’s it. Keep this file blank.
D. Upload header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and footer-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/yserif/ at the same directory where your regular header.php and page.php files are in.
E. Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.
Note: There are many sidebars in the theme, but no need to paste them here.
@candy2012 peace be with you too 
@niwaroll Per initial scan, you only need to create three new files, header-buddypress.php, sidebar-buddypress.php and footer-buddypress.php
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your yserif theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your yserif theme folder in server – activity, blogs, forums, members, groups, register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.
A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php
Open up header-buddypress.php and at the bottom of the file, below other code contained within, add this:
`
<div id="f9-container" class="”>
Thanks @ChrisClayton I actually like this better. Thanks for the help I’ll give it a try. I never really liked the wp-login page much anyway.
But I’m running BP v 1.5.4.
Speaking of which, I changed my theme to ‘BuddyPress Default 1.5.4’ (to match my BP version) and the problem was still there. Page errors on everything I tried to do in terms of interacting with the members page- next page results, sorting, searching, etc.
I’m a little reluctant to upgrade to 1.5.5- the upgrade to 1.5.4 changed enough things to set me back a week or 2 with features I had to account for, and how it affected plugins that were already working. Speaking of which, any updates on the bbpress integration beyond group forums? (ie have you guys had any luck with getting sitewide forums working yet?)
If necessary, I’ll do the upgrade, but hoping you understand my reservations. 
Just might be of some help, though please note I am not a coder .
On a local site I have an image (2px by 162px) full width across a Buddypress Default Child theme.
I have a menu in the top 37px as I have disabled the bp admin bar.
the code i came up with is as follows.
`body {
background-color: #eaeaea;
background-image: url(images/headpixf.png );
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: top center;
color: #555;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif;
line-height: 170%;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: auto;
width: 100%;
}
#header {
background: transparent;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 10px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 10px;
-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
-khtml-border-radius-bottomleft: 10px;
-khtml-border-radius-bottomright: 10px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
color: #fff;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0px 5px transparent;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0px 5px transparent;
height: 37px;
padding-top: 25px;
position: relative;
z-index: 1000;
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto 90px;
}`
Good luck!
Hello
I’m trying to solve a problem that involves using buddypress within a multi-site network. I’d like to have global profiles, but blog-specific groups.
For example:
nyc.example.com/group
losangeles.example.com/group
I would like these to be different groups. I can mostly distinguish between groups thanks to the tagging feature (I can create two instances of the same group name and tag each with their respective city). The problem I’m having is with the resulting slug. Evidently, when two groups are created with the same name, the group’s id string is appended to the second one to differentiate it from the first.
I’m wondering what the best way might be to change the url structure of groups so that the rewrite rule uses the city subdomain to locate the appropriate group (within the group tags).
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
I have a hunch this has been asked and answered countless times but I’m damned if I can see how to search the forum threads. Only box on the page did not seem to do that.
I’m just trying to find out out to attach categories or tags to BuddyPress posts.
I am pretty sure deleting this default field will cause all sorts of subtle bugs and errors throughout BuddyPress. You’ve been warned.
I setup Buddypress, and now got some users registering into the site. I am try to Message all Users using the Message >> Compose and Checked Notice to all users. But it seems Not working.
How do i message all users with a Broadcast message ?
Please advise..
Thanks

Hi, I am working on a project where I’ll need to give users the ability to comment on comments.
What’s the best way to do this? My gut instinct is to create a custom table with id, user_id, title, body, and comment_id to tie it to another comment and do it all custom – is there any easier way that this could be built into buddypress? Threadable comments perhaps?
