Hmmm Now I have installet det buddypresse plugin at my nettwork admin at my multisite.
Before I do anything else:
I got this message:
https://skitch.com/baiaz/g3hww/plugins-network-admin-wordpress
What does it mean and what do I have to do next?
I have made a site in my wordpress multisite where I want to have the buddypress installed.
Should I go to my new site and sett the buddypress as the theme?
== Run the set up there ==
Make sure that you’ve set Pretty Permalinks at Settings > Permalinks. Then activate BuddyPress and go through the installation Wizard https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/
== make the site dogs choose the buddypresss theme ==
Say what? Choose theme by the number of barks? 
BuddyPress will be installed in main site by default. You should have a BuddyPress-compatible theme or your own bp-default child theme installed there. If you allow blog creation by members for your multisite installation, then you should upload theme/s which your “dogs” can choose the themes for their respective blogs/subsites.
“Installation of WordPress Breadcrumbs” from http://yoast.com/wordpress/breadcrumbs/
01.Download the plugin
02.Unzip the package and upload the file to your WordPress installation’s plugins folder
03.Enable the plugin
04.Adjust any settings you want under Settings -> Breadcrumbs
05.Add the following code to your theme’s template(s):
`<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
yoast_breadcrumb(‘
‘,’
‘);
} ?>`
Again……where in my buddypress default template? They don’t say……..
What does the link in the email look like?
Are you using multisite or not?
And is your site set up to use custom permalinks? Do all the other BuddyPress pages work properly? (e.g. groups, member profiles)
BP uses either the user_nicename or user_login fields from the wp_user table to build those member URLs. Your best bet is to figure out/find a WordPress plugin that does what you want, and then test it against BuddyPress.
I’m running this code on a BuddyPress installation to keep posts out of the main Activity Stream; it marks the posts as hidden rather than removing them completely. They still show up on a user’s individual Activity Stream.

Does someone know how to do this? This would really be the last step to fully integrate buddypress with my site.
I’m having a problem where, when a new user registers, then clicks on the “Activate Your Account” link in the e-mail they receive, BuddyPress doesn’t recognize it and replies “Please provide a valid activation key.” If you try to log in with that username, it says “You haven’t activated this account yet.”
This is a new installation of BP 1.5.3.1 & WP 3.3.1 on an IIS server. I’ve been testing this same set-up using MAMP and a *nix server and it works normally.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
Hi guys,
I just installed Yoast SEO and during the set-up it says that unless you’re using certain themes, you’ll need to add a piece of code to your loop, but it doesn’t say where your loop is or what line to put it on. My site is now live and I can’t afford for it to crash right now, so I don’t want to play too much with the code at this point.
All I need to know is where the loop needs to be placed in Buddypress default (that’s the theme I’m using)?
Thanks!
Hello, the last thing i need to sort out is how users have their usernames etc.
So im making a buddypress site for users of an online game… ideally i would like it to be like this:
You register:
You set an email address for logging in with, then you also set a display name.
But just 1 display name, there is no profile name field etc.
The problem i have atm is that users cant use their ingame names as usernames because wp doesnt allow spaces or uppercase letters in the username.
But also, i cant allow them to set their profile name as their in game name because it isnt unique.
I could have loads of people changing their names to the same thing.
soo….
Is it possible to have a log in with email, and then im guessing buddypress would have to set a unique id to the user so that their profile name http://www.name.com/idforthatuser
hope someone understands! 
I’m having the exact same problem. Before this solution by @r-a-y worked:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/autocomplete-private-messaging-not-working/
But now it’s not working anymore. Any help would be much appreciated!
Hello, I am having an issue with new user registration. When the user fills out the reg form and hits submit they get a “Are you sure you want to do this?” screen. I have turned off all plugins other than buddypress and still getting the error.
Running WP 3.3.1 and BP 1.5.3.1
Any help would be great.
Thanks
The code is really really old! BuddyPress has been moving on apace through major revisions since JJJ made this post two years ago – old code examples are very unlikely to to be relevent to latest BP releases due to so much core code changing.
Your best bet is to read the codex and perhaps have a look at the BP skeleton component.
Hey
Just learned how to make a multisite of WordPress.
Now I want to make sa site called something like dogs
on this site I want the buddypress installation to be installed.
But how do I do this.
I have installed my wordpress – and my plugins are installed in the nettwork admin. Also I download the buddypress. there.
Should I run the settup there and only make the site dogs choose the buddypresss theme?
Sorry, both plugins are outdated, not compatible with BP 1.5.3.1
BP supports whatever WP does to embed videos from Youtube, Vimeo, Hulu, etc. in regular blog posts – http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-easily-embed-videos-in-wordpress-blog-posts/
Does anyone know how a user’s first name field could be replaced by their username? For some reason when all of my user’s register, I never receive their first name. Instead, I see their username and last name.
The issue is with the regular Buddypress profile fields, so I’m not sure what could be causing the issue.
Thanks in advance for the help!
I am unable to delete posts from the Activity Stream. It asks me if I want to delete and I say ‘yes’ and then it takes me to a “page not found” page. I tried deactivating all plugins except buddypress and bbpress but it didn’t solve the problem. Any ideas?
Hello.
I am running Buddypress 1.5.1 on OccupyMN.org and am experiencing issues with my activity stream times for both groups and members.
Currently, whenever I look at the posted activity times, I am seeing many ‘Posted sometime ago’ messages along with seemingly incorrect times with other users activities.
Would anybody know of a fix for this?
– Check database and see if seven tables for bbPress were automatically generated during the forums installatio process – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/3/#bp-forums-db
– Check the bb-config.php file created during the group forums installation process at root of your WP installation. DB information correct there?
– Check wp-admin menu BuddyPress > Pages = is the Forums page associated with “Forums”?
– Re-run wp-admin menu Settings > Permalinks and click Save.
== How can i disable all plugins ==
Access server files via FTP and rename plugins folder in wp-content/plugins to something else like wp-content/plugins-xxx to access your wp-admin. After you do, rename plugins folder to correct one. Btw, not good bulk-activating BuddyPress with other plugins.
