ok, after a few hours fiddling I’ve tracked it down to something in global.js is blocking Safari copy on tap and hold. Let me find the culprit and submit it to trac to be fixed in core. You cant copy on bp-default theme either.
== Getting Started’-type issues ==
@tilley46 check out BuddyPress Codex – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/
== How do I create a standard Home Page for my BP site ==
What’s a standard home page for you? The list of blog posts like it is with bp-default theme, Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven themes? If you want a static front page, do the same thing as you would do for a regular WordPress theme.
== I don’t see anywhere for new users to register new profiles’, etc ==
Basic WordPress, go to Settings > General and allow registration.
I’m a BuddyPress newbie, and am having trouble getting started developing my BP site. I’ve installed BP on my WordPress site (WP ver. 3.3.2), activated the default theme, and ran the installation wizard. Now, I’m stuck as far as how to proceed. Is there a way to search the buddypress.org forums for helpful articles on ‘Getting Started’-type issues such as ‘How do I create a standard Home Page for my BP site?’, ‘After installation/activation, I don’t see anywhere for new users to register new profiles’, etc.? So far, the only way I’ve found to get support is to start a new thread in the forum section. HELP!
i’ve don that but no proper result.
im seeing the members, groups and form page but when i want to add atopic or group
” Page not found “
When i go to links im getting this error
Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in /domain.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-template.php on line 760

@mercime, ESFI is a truly international organisation. We are registered in Paris, but our members are dispersed around the world and collaborating only online (besides annual conferences). As a framework organisation, we do not do our own fundraising, but support the national chapters with theirs.
So here’s what I discovered, poking through the members folder and trying to correlate the code from that page.
There’s a file “permalinks.php” which is what that page reflects. Entered the missing bits of code and presto.
Thank you for contributing @mercime
I have implemented the revisions. For some reason -that- page is not using the source code.
If you look at the other buddypress pages, they reflect the changes…
http://bigassmonsters.com/wp/members/ and http://bigassmonsters.com/wp/activity/
@kristopherlouie You didn’t implement the revisions I posted above since I don’t see the following in the source code at all
`
<article id="post-” >
`
and the corresponding closing divs/article with get_sidebar
Any updated on this request?
@helpme2012 Are you referring to the blog comments or the Activity stream Comments?
For Blog comments, just recreate the bp_dtheme_comment_form() function (located inside bp-defaults functions.php) inside your child theme and it should override the default.
If your talking about the Stream Comments, then – i have no idea. Never had a problem with the comments post form appearing to logged out members 
@djsinternet The adminbar.css is enqueued via wp_head –> “
and the bp-core-buddypress markup is loaded via wp_footer.
If you want to remove buddybar.css, add this to `bp-custom.php` or your theme’s `functions.php` file
`// remove admin bar style
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘djsinternet_remove_adminbar_css’ );
function djsinternet_remove_adminbar_css() {
wp_dequeue_style ( ‘bp-admin-bar’);
wp_dequeue_style ( ‘bp-admin-bar-rtl’);
}`
Note that when you dequeue buddybar.css, all the adminbar links will be unstyled at the bottom of the webpage unless you upload your own adminbar stylesheet
Wow that great to know it can be done, it seem way over my head but perhaps I could find someone to do it in the future. In the mean time I could leave them as separate and join them later after they start to take off or is this best done from the beginning? Or is it easier that it sounds?

@juanmaguerrero Works great until it hits a dead end and there is no more activities. Then if you keep trying to scroll down it repeats over and over “Sorry, there was no activity found. Please try a different filter.” Is there a way you can tweak the code to make it only display that message one time when it reaches the end of activities? It works great, but it would just look cleaner if it did not repeat that message over, and over as a user attempts to scroll when there is no more activities to display. Also, how do you get that neat loader like you have on your site while more activities is loading? What does it involve? Can you share how to accomplish this? Thanks, and great job! 
So if I clicked on an avatar in this thread – I would see no 40×40 px but (in a popup) 150×150 px (or other, configurable).
Am I right? If yes, I might add this to my BP Avatar Bubble (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/cd-bp-avatar-bubble/).
Yes, this can be done.
The easiest way is to create a “bridge” between them.
So in general:
1) sync all users data between sites (wp_(users|usermeta|bp_xprofile_*).
2) create a script on site 1, that after user registering/updating profile data will make a post|get request with encrypted data to site 2
3) site 2 will get this data, check it and saves.
The same script should be placed on site 2 as well. Of course, you will need some kind of securing of all data transfers, also lots of BP hooks will be used.
Once I even implemented such solution. Site1 was on PHP (WP+BP), while Site2 – on ASP. That was interesting project 
I have two sites both using Buddypress, bikepackersbasecamp.com and cyclistjunction.com. Currently they are hosted on Hostgator.com’s hatchling plan if that matters. These are not multisite, they are completly independent sites.
So my question is “Can I somehow connect these sites so that common members to the two sites can have the same login info” I want each site to show only its own activity but if a member would not have to create a different login for each site that would be nice. Also if they could be an automatic member of the other site if they join one site. Perhaps this is all too much I don’t know as I’m fairly new to wordpress/buddypress.
== I am using the BP default theme ==
You do not need BP Template Pack plugin nor do you need to download/upload any folders if you’re using the bp-default theme. So …
– First, deactivate the BP Template Pack plugin
– Second, deactivate BuddyPress, delete BuddyPress, then install it again. This is to make sure that you have clean installation.
@bryceburk Actually, if you don’t need social networking, you can do this in WordPress alone. You can use custom post types or categories for countries and states and those are searchable. Users can add posts or custom post types from wp-admin or from front end via
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-user-frontend/screenshots/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-post-widget/screenshots/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-from-site/screenshots/
If you want to use BuddyPress – there’s http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/ where you can created different forms which you can configure to contain what you need. Needs PHP and HTML/CSS skillsets for this though.
There’s also the premium Gravity Forms plugin which can work for both WP and BP.
I’m running WordPress 3.3.2 with the network activated/subdomain install and BuddyPress 1.5.5 on my own custom theme. I like to keep all the CSS in one ‘Style’ file but BuddyPress appends this link to the footer – link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’bp-admin-bar-css’ href=’http://www.”My Domain Name”.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/css/buddybar.css?ver=20110723′ type=’text/css’ media=’all’
I’ve tried to de-register the style, moving it to the header, deleting the wp-enqueue statements in bp-core-buddybar and nothing has manage to remove the extra ‘link rel’ without removing the entire buddybar. Is there an easy way to stop BuddyPress from inserting this link that I’m just missing?
Other plugins I’m running – bbpress 2.0.2, W3 Total Cache, Add Post Footer, Akismet, All in One SEO and Permalink redirect. I don’t have any custom functions in bp-custom.php yet and I’m on an Apache server.
How can I prevent BuddyPress from inserting a link rel=stylesheet in the footer of public webpages?
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`
`
with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`
`
with the following for registration/register.php:
`
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 files.
C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you’ve just revised to your server wp-content/themes/yourcustomthemefolder/
D. Check out the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten for reference especially with removing the bullets and bringing in the extended width of the BP elements – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ – and copy these over to your theme’s stylesheet and adjust as needed.
@kristopherlouie You’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your custom theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
`
with
`
<article id="post-” >
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to `
` and move it above `
`, just watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.
Save files.

I found the plugin by buddydev is full working and compatible with 1.5+ Doesn’t this suits your needs? Hope it does!
