Put this in your wp-config.php: define( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', 3 ); Replace 3 with the number of the site where you’d like BP to live.
‘Round these parts it’s OK to bump after 24 hours, not one hour.
Have you changed your permalinks to something other than the default setting? Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks
Take a look through these threads: https://buddypress.org/search/?f=members+only They have a number of different “members only” solution options.
I use W3 Total Cache on my site after having it recommended to me by @lincme. It’s more of a complete caching system as opposed to just a “minify” plugin. You’ll need to have a decent PHP memory_limit for it to function though so be forewarned as it probably won’t work if you’re on a shared hosting plan (unless you’re lucky and have some awesome server support staff like me).
I was told there are problems with the page cache and CDN features so I’ve been afraid to enable them on my site. I don’t even have a CDN just yet so this is something I’m not too worried about right at the moment. However, I may get brave one of these days and enable the page cache (after a fresh backup of course) to see what it does. I also hear that there’s a development version that’s even better than the currently released one so you may want to check into that as well.
@hnla , @rogercoathup I installed the BP Xtra Signup plugin and it works great! However, it does sanitize HTML markup. Could I do something like @r-a-y mentioned in this thread to stop it from sanatizing?
There is a custom placeholder though that will only display a single link which is defined in the next textbox. Anyone know how to make it display two separate links instead of just one? I should probably ask the plugin author that question, huh? Hey @travel-junkie… join the party! Gotta love that “mentions” feature, LOL four in one post… I’m on my way to setting a record! 
BTW: this plugin has an option to add an email confirmation too… this guy thought of everything! (well… almost, lol)
@nahummadrid the ‘notice for all users’ only places the message in the sidebar for logged in members to see unfortunaelt.
I too would be interested in a ‘message all’ plugin if anyone knows of one?
@nuprn1 Thanks Ruch! I actually just found what I had done wrong. I had left one filter as ‘is admin’ when it should have been ‘is site admin’.
All is good now!
Thankyou so much once again. We’d be lost without you!
thanks..i will try to go through these links and figure out
ok, i found some delete references on the activty comments that do not have any sort of filter on them (actually this goes back to a trac i need to file – https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2530 )
under the functions:
bp_dtheme_new_activity_comment() – ajax.php
bp_activity_get_comments( $args = '' ) – bp-activity-templatetags.php
Otherwise everything uses the same activity template
@nuprn1 any ideas on this Rich? Still can’t find how to hide the delete tag on the member’s personal profile activity. Cheers mate!
Same problem on buddypress.org. I just signed up (-waves to all-) and every button/link clicked on during the registration process led to a blank screen. The registration went through, but you have to know to check your e-mail for the activation link and then go to buddypress.org to login, Since logging in I’ve had no problems, so it seems to be a bug in the registration process.
@djpaul “if we encouraged people to edit the default theme or any of the core BuddyPress files directly, most of those people are going to come back and complain….”
That’s why I think it is important to start separating the BP plugin from themes.
@r-a-y When you said “only do this if you trust your user base” it got me thinking… should I trust my group admins just because they paid for the ability to create a group on my site? Also, what if I want to open group creation to all users at a later date (when I can afford a better server)? Considering such, I’ve changed my mind about this. However, I would still like to allow site admins (not group admins) to have full HTML functionality in group descriptions and forum posts (and yes, I definitely trust my site admins). I’m guessing that I would use the same code – just remove the “bp_group_is_admin() ||” part?
Thanks for bringing that plugin to my attention… I will certainly give that a try!
i have ported some bbPress plugins for BP (see group forum extras)
progress has begun on a bbPress plugin for WP as well – https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/2464 though I don’t know how this would impact BP in the future.
@andrea_r You made a BP child theme to a theme that is not BP compatible?
thanks @nuprn1 I just removed everything in the form and it works.
@alanchrishughes I built mine as a child theme of Twentyten, not the bp default.
@thekmen – let;s compare code & I’ll get it rolled in to the ticket. https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2382
Hello Roger,
Thanks for your replay , for the default tab i Meant subnav which inside the navbar
for example in activity tab which inside the member profile the default subnav is “personal” i want to change it to something else , and it’s configuration not written in https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
for the custom activity query i saw the post you gave me before writing my post and try to do something like it to make it work with me and failed
I’m using WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.5.2
Again thanks for your replay and help
Regards
@1stAngel – I agree, it’s the one I use for by-invites-only sites, kudos to Chris Taylor.
Latest version of WPMU secure invites plugin is working in my WP 3.0 / BP 1.2.5.2 installs and mu-plugins folder fine: WPMU 2.9.2 subdomain install upgraded to WP 3.0. and WP 3.0 multisite subdomain install.
What or When do errors show, when you create mu-plugin folder and/or upload secure_invite.php file?
EDIT – @Andrea_r maybe not working for WP 3.0 single site, only for multisite?
And this page details how to change the default tab:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
Good luck… let me know if it works!
