I am trying to install Buddypress on a http://www.campertrailerseniors.net. I am using this site as an expendable test site. The actual site I will set buddypress on is http://www.moretonbay.biz. What I am trying to do is to create a community member directory. I wish to retain the theme I already have on both sites.
I am having trouble with making my existing theme buddypress compatible. As described in the Tweaking Layout Instructions, I have gone to cpanel/file manager and made change but nothing seems to work. I tried both methods in Fixing Alignments but without success. What am I doing wrong?
Can anyone help ?
@erica34 to complete the instruction today please post loop.php and loop-page.php in pastebin.com like you did with the other pages
@marcella1981, that sounds awesome, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Cheers,

IMHO, you just can’t buy a ferrari if you don’t have money to mantain it as well as you can’t start your social network without the money to upgrade your server resources.
i think this is your main problem, since, you can optimize the resource the best you can, but, whenever your network will grow up you will need to add extra resources.
little example: the most used feature of all social networks, i think is the Activity Stream, that should track each user action, well, where do you think all this information where stored?
Best regards
Using BuddyPress, is there a maximum limit to the number of users that I can have registered in my social network?
Thanks!
Yesterday, with Post Toolbar deactivated, the problem returned. I eventually found that deactivating Front End User, made everything happy again. I reactivated Post Toolbar once more.
This morning I found it wasn’t working once again, so I deactivated Post Toolbar for a moment and then reactivated it. Everything hunky dory once again.
What sort of issue would cause this problem to be intermittent in this way?
Assuming it is a jQuery issue, is this something that can be fixed or is it a case of choosing different plugins?
I assume something like this was done in this theme, but what is the name?

BuddyPress doesn’t do anything for blogs except track new blog posts and comments in the activity stream.
WordPress handles all blog creation. If you want your users to be able to create blogs, you’ll first need to change your WordPress install into a network:

Be sure to read the “Do you really need a network?” section as well:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network#Do_you_really_need_a_network.3F
If you just want your users to contribute to your existing WordPress blog, then you’ll need to make your users authors:

There’s a WordPress theme called P2:

It’s not compatible with BuddyPress though, however there is a fork of P2 (called P2 Reloaded) that reportedly supports BuddyPress:

I haven’t tested it myself.
Hi FIQ, you might want to post this as a bug on BP Trac:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket/
Login with the same credentials you use here on bp.org.
If you need this functionality now, try out the BP Group Email Subscription plugin:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-group-email-subscription/
There are a few bugs to iron out, but I’m working on a few of them with the plugin authors.
Hello
Is there any Plugin that a user must pay before they can join on every group in buddypress?
Like for example they will pay using paypal?
Thanks
I *think* I have narrowed it down to the Buddypress template pack, which has kinda confused me since square one, like 2 years ago….
I have set up a website which lists all the live music in my city. I have also a youtube channel of local bands. I was considering installing Buddypress but am wary that this may undermine my attempt to generate revenue from Live Music Venues and musical service providers because…they will just make friends with each other and send adverts and message each other about events, which I think may take some of the verve away from my site.
Also, the local music industry is extremely Facebook orientated, all the clubs and bars and bands have Facebook groups and pages and so I’m wondering if Buddypress is worth it at all. I would appreciate your input – try and sell Buddypress to me!
I love buddypress verified! thanks @modemlooper !! I really want to be able to have a default image that shows up when the member is not verified. I would have a graphic that says “Get verified” and when clicked it could take them to a page I have setup with instructions on what they need to do to get this status on my site. Can anyone help with the code needed? I tried but I am very novice at programming. I would love it if the developer could add this, seems like a couple min thing for someone who knows what they are doing…
Thank you, but still having problems. 
I removed everything from the server and started over. I completed the BuddyPress Setup steps and when I clicked Finish & Activate I got the same 500 error.
Afterwards I updated wp-config.php, the .htaccess file, & upped the memory limits for the site. I tried in different browsers, but to no avail. I don’t have access to my php.ini file, so I’m hoping that’s not the problem. The site seems to be working fine, but the dashboard is still not functional.
Here are the errors I got from the error log:
[Thu Feb 09 18:21:21 2012] [warn] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_is_active() in /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/admin/bp-core-admin.php on line 45

Please forgive my idiocy, but I have no clue what to make of that. Please help!
Are you able to tell what the problem is from those error logs?
Thanks again!
We’ll get most of this when we switch to using bbPress 2.0 for group forums, which will be possible in BuddyPress 1.6 & bbPress 2.1.
Many thanks. Looks like it was bbPress Post Toolbar causing the problem. Was preventing PrettyGallery working as well.
Don’t know anything about jQuery so now seems like a good time to learn!
Am still trying to find out how to do this. I’ve had a look at various themes and not found one that has it.
Can anyone at least tell if it’s possible to do this with Buddypress?
Sounds like you’re having a jQuery conflict causing the AJAX calls to fail. If you’re using other plugins, deactivate them one by one to find it. Also disable any jQuery code you’ve added.
I use it with buddypress…. Since bp 1.5 the main buddypress pages show up with the plugin default settings and you can add extra pages on the settings page…
There might be a better plugin (or even theme…) to handle buddypress sitemap.xml files out there though….
I am using the latest version of buddypress and wordpress and everything seems to be running except for one thing. Most of my users were able to register without a problem except for a few have let me know that they received a different activation email.
Most of the users receive the regular email with a link to confirm their registration to my site but the other users get that same email except they are redirected to a page that is asking for an activation key instead of being confirmed automatically.
Is this a bug? Is there something I can do to make this stop? I would appreciate any help with this.
Thanks
Yeah, definitely going to avoid them from now on. I use buddypress so I don’t think that sitemap generator works with buddypress and I can’t seem to find a good buddypress sitemap generator. Do you happen to know of any? Would just using the google sitemap generator be better than nothing? I don’t think it would link to any of my buddypress pages though.
I have followed the instructions on this page https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/4/#enable-group-forum and i still get the same message: Please pick the group forum where you would like to post this topic.
