@pisanojm it works flawlessly, you will also need to tinker with the admin links to reverse their order too. Give me your email address and I’ll send you the edited file for the latest version of BP.
I only ever seem to get this issue on one server that I manage through Plesk or at least have the option of, other servers I administer via SSH never give me this issue, leading me to think something in the way Plesk deals with groups isn’t the best.
It’s a bug with the /forum-attachments-for-buddypress/ plugin. Have you contacted the author?
What are the directory permissions on wp-content/uploads/?
EDIT: beaten, once again.
It’s one of or a combination of two issues: the folder permissions may not be set correctly (these can normally be corrected via a decent FTP client folders generally need 755 and files 644)
Check the WordPress codex for the correct permissions required
The other issue and more likely the problem here is that the server group hasn’t got the correct permissions to create and write to directories, if you are on shared hosting you may need to contact your host to get this sorted out and also ensure that PHP ‘Safe Mode’ is turned off.
@r-a-y
@hnla – Just for sanity’s sake, I tried again. This time via “Super Admin > Blogs”. I clicked “Edit”, then added an existing user to the sub-blog that way. Works. Can you check to see your wp_bp_user_blogs table to see if it’s recording anything?
May be testing at cross purposes here? Also I t may well be my misunderstanding of things.
It isn’t so much sub blogs issue it’s a general member of the main site BP / WP blog has no means of easily logging in to the dashboard to make a post as a ‘contributor’ or a level elevated from ‘subscriber’ (As was raised by the OP on this thread?) further to that I realised that also there was a similar issue when installing WP as single blog in that users – at any level – had no bp-adminbar links to access the dashboard (normally under ‘My-blogs’) this issue is known but I had to quickly whip up a crude function to test user level and drop a series of dashboard links on to the adminbar if !bp_core_is_multisite() not ideal but functional.
The issue which still puzzles me is that on, for example, a multisite install, no user blogs created; if I take a user and elevate their role to ‘contributor’ or even ‘admin’ they still get no means of logging in to the dashboard, not at least under the my-blogs link (as the super admin gets) Perhaps they were never intended to be able but it does mean an awkward route for them to be able to make a post, in my mind I expected them to receive a link to the main blog under ‘my-blogs’ as the super admin or main admin gets, but it isn’t their blog so they don’t.
I would suppose that a bit of a rewrite of the ‘my-blogs’ function would solve things for both missing link on single installs and for elevated member roles to receive the link as well, I was starting to look at ‘my-blogs’ and adapting it but time is my enemy at the moment.
Bumping this for my attention
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I wrote a plugin that begins to address the issue: http://teleogistic.net/code/buddypress/bp-external-activity/
@ray – i’m thinking of the one under the Dashboard – My sites… 
@michaelha
Yes, the Privacy Component is a user-centric component, allowing a site’s members to control which pieces of their personal data they share with the world.
I’m getting a different result. Never fear, you can download BuddyPress Template Pack from wp.org – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
I’d be glad to help. You can send it to me at marian@heartwoodwebdesign.com

This is a feature. A feature a lot of people don’t like. You can see this ticket in Trac which is looking at addressing it: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2207
The plugin has been added to the WP repository. You can find it here with a few updates: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-sliding-login-panel/
A plugin’s readme.txt file is your friend. It can answer many of the common questions you may have about a given plugin. Your question is answered on the first sentence of the Installation section.
From the Installation section of the readme.txt file for BuddyPress Links: “Notice: This plugin is under heavy development, and is not recommended for production environments!“
This is the same information that is displayed on the plugin’s page here on BuddyPress or within the WordPress Plugin Repository.
Yeah, sounds like a bug. BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG implementation is a little incomplete at the moment. trac.buddypress.org with the same login credentials
@tomdebruin: I’m experiencing the same as you. All my pages/posts that are generated by WordPress have the default blog title in the
. Have you filed a bug for this?
@boonebgorges – Great that you think it can be done with the existing tables (I was considering adding some additional tables keyed on the user profile id). The hook into xprofile at the right place is what I was looking for.
We are going to filter out profile fields where the user hasn’t input a value anyway (and not display them). I take it this is as simple as checking whether the field value is an empty string. Although, as you point out, you would still want these displayed on the edit page.
So, it’s check for NULL and check for standard field (vs. extended field) name as well.
I don’t know of a good sitewide activity widget, but you can look at the code inside of buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php (the if ( bp_has_activities…. stuff). Using that as a basis, you can build your own sitewide activity display.
I installed the plugin, followed your instructions and I keep getting this error message when I activate the fix “Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_redirect() (previously declared in /home/thetrans/www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/wp-includes/pluggable.php:874) in /home/thetrans/www.xxxxxxx.com/wp-content/plugins/vJfxs8VV.php on line 33”
Does this fix not work for regular wordpress people who are not running MU. This page not found issue has happen over 50 times in the past hour. No matter what I do, not matter if I am trying to activate a plugin, or write a simple post this error message keeps popping up. Please let me know if there is a fix for this because unfortunately for me it’s not working. I have the most current version of wordpress and buddypress. Thanks
What happens when you try to post? Are you able to *view* forums?
What does it say when you go to Dashboard > BuddyPress > Forums Setup?
@medani: You have to upgrade to the latest BuddyPress, It was a bug in our version.
