@rogercoathup Just dropped you a message on your site mate!
As long as your users won’t need to create their own blogs, then BuddyPress installed with regular WordPress should be fine. I don’t know of any BuddyPress-specific plugins that’ll accomplish what you’re asking, but I think if you browse around in the WP plugin directory you might find some suitable solutions.

@rogercoathup Wow, sounds like a bit of work there! hahaha!
The directory would work in the exact same way as the members directory in terms of the search but each listing doesn’t have to have a profile or anything, just a name, address and contact info.
Do you guys have anything in your current inventory that could be adapted? And how much are we looking at to code something like this. It just needs to be the simplest method possible as long as people can look up the names of the listings and what they are known for supplying.
Thanks again!
There’s no off the shelf plugin for this, but it is possible to develop a solution (a lot more than a workaround!):
You could either do this by having a profile type for businesses, or developing a solution around custom posts / custom fields.
You’ll then have to build your own custom listing directory – not too hard! The BP profile directory already has a built in search that you could adapt / use directly.
We are building similar in a number of current BuddyPress client projects – and Poolie has also developed a very nice listings site based on BuddyPress: http://plazaa.de
It’s highly unlikely that it’s a bug in the activity stream – hundreds / thousands of sites run the BuddyPress activity stream without problem.
It’s almost certainly something wrong in your bespoke theme / bp-custom.php file.
Have you changed the theme since the second person carried out their activity? Does it show in the main site activity stream? Have you installed some privacy plugins, or has the member specified that their activity is private? Is the site hidden from search engines?
It’s impossible to provide much more help without a lot more information about your site configuration and the details of your theme code.
Ah! I was thrown by a prompt that said the theme offered logo management – perhaps the mention referred to the default buddypress theme. I appreciate your answer, though.
This question would be better directed to the plugin developer (it’s not really a BuddyPress question)… they should be able to tell you what elements you need to have defined in your theme.
Note: We use wp-fb-autoconnect on one of our bespoke BuddyPress sites without problem.
If you want to display profile information in the sidebar, you should write your own custom profile loop – the following page gives you an introduction:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-profile-data-loop-bp_has_profile/
Did you follow the instructions on this page: https://pl.buddypress.org/home/ ?
You may also want to make sure you have the language specified in your wp-config:
`
/**
* WordPress Localized Language, defaults to English.
*
* Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the chosen
* language must be installed to wp-content/languages. For example, install
* de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’ to enable German
* language support.
*/
define (‘WPLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);
`
change to Polish in your case, of course!
@jhansensd Agree with @hnla. You asked for advice and that’s the standard one that you’ll get to isolate what the conflict is. You might also want to check out
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#wp-configuration
Then if all’s well with BP plugin, you activate your custom theme and see how it works out. install the other WP plugins one by one to find out which one is conflicting with BP.
EDIT – took too long to answer, two already did
Yes, @hnla ‘s suggestion was the correct suggestion. That’s the only way you’re going to figure out the issue. You disable all your plugins, you’ll probably have to rename the buddypress folder to allow access the the admin panel, but then you can use the bulk edit abilities in the plugin panel to deactivate every plugin at once. Then start from scratch. Activate BP, and minimally configure it, then one-by-one, reactivate your plugins until you find the culprit.
@jhansensd
Yes, it is a common issue… and almost always plugin or theme related.
Follow the advice given by @hnla to troubleshoot your install.
Start by deactivating your custom theme to see if that’s the problem.
If not, then deactivate all plugins, and reactivate them one by one to track it down.
Congratulations again! Kudos.We’re all excited as well 
@ithacaindy
Yes, the theme will support custom menus via the addition of my Add-All-Nav-Links-to-BP-Adminbar plugin.
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar/
http://nowrecovery.com/justfunstuff/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar/
The original idea for this theme, and the reason I’m developing it, was to help make navigation more streamlined for users by combining the adminbar and main nav into a single unit. I released the plugin first, ‘cuz it works just fine with child themes of bp-default. Now I’m working on the theme to go with it. Of course, the theme will work just fine without the plugin, but…
When will it be available to purchase? Hopefully by the end of this month, I’ll have an initial release of the freebie. If all goes well on road tests of that release, the premium should become available by end of November.
It’s an old bug with bbPress or BuddyPress, I’m not sure which. After backing up your database, try changing the encoding of your wp_bb_* tables in the database from “latin1” to “utf8”. If you don’t know how to do this, ask your host.
Thanks guys! We’re both very excited.
Feature-proof until we add a new screen or function in the core code. If your theme is a child theme of BP-Default, then it’ll automatically get those updates, otherwise they’d have to be added. I think you’re probably safe for the next few months at least.
Some hosts allow the PHP memory limit to be changed via .htaccess, or via a WordPress configuration (see this). I don’t know about your specific host — I suggest contacting them and ask to increase the limit to 96Mb (as you appear to be already on 64Mb).
Before you do that, however, check in your web server’s error log for any warnings which are generated when you try to activate BuddyPress. Is there anything in there?
Thanks. That’s where I found the post to site plugin. I couldn’t get it to work with BP.
I ended up using Jet Quickpress. Not exactly what I wanted but it works for a simple way for people to post from the front end. Though the hover drop down menus are difficult to navigate and need to be reworked.
