!is_user_logged_in then register – You can create a Page Template with login form and set it as home page in Settings > Reading
Then for users who have logged in, create bp-custom.php and add code by @sbrajesh and upload to wp-content/plugins folder to redirect them to respective profile pages
P.S. if you’re using WP 3.0, replace line
`if(!is_site_admin($user->user_login))`
to
`if(!is_super_admin($user->user_login))`
Thanks @johnjamesjacoby
@arunbasillal good share. That’s what I’d do to make home page “future-proof” for BP 1.2 series – all bets are off for BP 1.3 
When inside a group – there should not be another tab called home – very poor design choice there.. even if it was “group home” it would be better… but perhaps it should say “latest group activity” although I guess that wouldn’t be accurate if someone click to filter there.. unless that tab changed names.. either way – home is not the best choice there…
It would be nice to have a “search the group” or search this group’s forum box next to the rss button near the top..
You might just need to re-run Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and save to other than default. Also, BP 1.2.4.1 does not fully support WP 3.0 yet. Upcoming BP 1.3 will.
Thank you @nuprn1 – “bookmarking” it now
First thing I would like to see fixed – the “next page(s)” as I will call them for groups, and members, and other sections of the site appear in the top right of those views – that should really be placed at the bottom of the groups, and members, and forums, and plugins page views. I spent 10 minutes looking for all the plugins on the extend page one day – and I thought we only had 25 plugins – after pulling my hair out and going around the site.. I realized that after viewing all 25 plugins, I had to scroll all the way back to the top to click next page – this is the same for several areas of the site. At least some pages have “load more” at the bottom – but most pages lack navigation at the end of page where it should be.
@foxly would love to test the nightly, could you fix the link to the build? or is it me?
my current code looks like this:
`// Add the actions and filters we need to make all this run
add_action(‘signup_blogform’, array(&$cets_wpmubt, ‘get_topics_select_signup’));
add_filter(‘wpmu_new_blog’, array(&$cets_wpmubt, ‘set_new_blog_topic’), 101);
add_filter(‘wpmu_activate_blog’, array(&$cets_wpmubt, ‘set_new_blog_topic’), 101);
add_action(‘bp_after_blog_details_fields’, array(&$cets_wpmubt, ‘get_topics_select_signup’));
add_action(‘signup_finished’, array(&$cets_wpmubt, ‘save_signup_blog_topic’));
add_action(‘bp_signup_usermeta’, array(&$cets_wpmubt, ‘save_signup_blog_topic’));
add_action(‘admin_menu’, array(&$cets_wpmubt, ‘add_submenu’));
add_action(‘admin_menu’, array(&$cets_wpmubt, ‘add_siteadmin_page’));
add_action(‘delete_blog’, array(&$cets_wpmubt, ‘update_relationships’));`
this add the select menu in the Sign Up form but it still doesn’t save the selected Topic for the blog. Any ideas?
@nuprn1 @tober11 @r-a-y @hnla @thekmen
Just to confirm to the group that this problem *was* due to a defect in the BP Album+ *nightly build* code (not the release version).
Based on the excellent debugging info provided by @thekmen, we were able to quickly isolate and correct this problem. It has been fixed in all nightly builds from 0.1.9.2010-06-25 onwards.
Debugging a complex application like BP Album+ is a team effort. If you ever suspect a problem on your system is being caused by BP Album+, contact us right away. We will do our best to replicate the problem and give you an answer as quickly as possible.
Thanks!

[EDIT] Removed link to BP Album, added more plugin examples.
Dying a slow death???? Pfft… whatever!
There’s one team (BP Album+) working on FaceBook Media + Flickr cloned for BuddyPress, coming out in a week or two. There’s another dev (BP Links) working on content linking and import from almost any imaginable site, and another dev (Facestream) working on BPFacebook integration.
I think we’re just beginning to discover some of the amazing thing that can be accomplished with BuddyPress.
^F^
Personally, I and others find the site navigation and layout a nightmare to follow. Never sure quite what we’re looking at once we click something; tabs appear to change but it all looks the same, etc. Ie., am I in an ‘overall’ forum or a group forum? A plugin page or a forum page? A general activity stream or a help/plugin stream? Etc.
Most sites have better visual clues as to exactly what you’re looking at. The insipid colours might have something to do with it as well..? Thanks for the hard work, but something about the design and layout doesn’t work well for us.
Edit: Actually, this is helping us design our site, and most things which seem to be ‘features’ in BuddyPress have been ripped out because they badly confuse our test users. People need to know they’re in one place, looking at a particular thing, not ‘a forum’ which could be overall, for a group, for a plugin, for something unknown leaving you unsure what the heck you last clicked and having to go ‘Back’ yet again… If there has to be a forum and/or blog for everything in the kitchen sink, each needs *very* clear labelling and other visual clues.
@nonegiven; Where are you seeing this error, just out of interest..? Have to agree on the appalling geometric images. I don’t even use them as a fall-back.
Hmm… Just waking up, and browsing around. I’m on Chrome Dev. and IE8 (in case it matters) and your Visit links work fine. I don’t see any problems under activity either (accessed from within profiles).
As I’ve said elsewhere, I removed the admin-bar from our whole site, front and back end. It gets in my way, serves no useful function which shouldn’t be on site pages as links anyway, and confuses technophobes no end. I put the following in wp-config.php to help with that and other things;
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);
define(‘BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE’, true);
define(‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true);
Just my worthacarrot opinion, but I think your site would look much cleaner without it too. Also, your browse/other/search bar goes off into infinity on the right-hand side on MightWorkOneDay Chrome. And bloons are great!
Edit: @blondishnet, I just noticed your “Solved!” update (which seems to have been posted before this, but didn’t show back then).
Care to enlighten everyone as to what was causing it, in case it helps?
Thank you. Kind of strange they put that in the Buddypress folders, shouldn’t that be inside the themes instead so you can keep updating buddypress?
Unfortunately it is not easy to post code to Buddypress but here goes … the answer is, it does not work. It does not fix it.
The Forum page STILL shows an open posting form which then closes to show the forums which looks bad and not professional at all. How can one load the forums first and the post form second?
To help others … this ‘fix’ edit requires commenting out the following line on /buddypress/bp-forums.php
// do_action( ‘bbpress_init’ );
from
function bp_forums_total_topic_count() {
do_action( ‘bbpress_init’ );
$query = new BB_Query( ‘topic’, array( ‘page’ => 1, ‘per_page’ => -1, ‘count’ => true ) );
$count = $query->count;
$query = null;
return $count;
}
The alternative offered is worse … it breaks the default template.
function bp_forums_total_topic_count() {
$query = new BP_Forums_Template_Forum;
$count = $query->total_topic_count;
return $count;
}
But, thanks, it is good to know that I am not stupid and I am coming across problems wiser people than I have encountered.
Why dont the WordPress and Buddypress websites share more in terms of user interaction cues, e.g. using forums versus groups etc.
Why is it not easy to clone off other langauge sub-domains and them all share the same layout etc … ? This is also true for WordPress sites.
BuddyPress is far from dying. I am really excited about all that I have been hearing at WordCamps this year and after talking to JJJ at WordCamp Chicago… I am certain the BuddyPress project is really growing big time. From a client perspective, I am seeing more and more clients requesting a social network added to their businesses and blog sites.
Kudos to the team. I guess I need to go over to trac and give it a hug like JJJ suggested. 
Version 1.2.4.1.
Does importing templates through BP Template pack require the actual buddypress plugin to be enabled? I was avoiding enabling it until everything was set since I have a high traffic blog and don’t want anything to show up before testing.
OK. Guess that we need a way in BP to get stickies to stay at the top of the main listing of forum topics
In the meantime, this thread should be added to the agenda. So, I’ll go to the other thread in the first post to get it on the agenda (if it isn’t already)
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/buddypress-org-changes-what-id-change-about-bp-org/
Agreed – @johnjamesjacoby – I just did this to a second site and took less than 3 minutes to get it working.
1. Install plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/)
2. Insert add_filter statements around line 112 of the syntaxhighlighter.php file in the plugin directory
Easy!
@butterscotchproxy i’ll revisit this…I had implemented it and didn’t like it, it was a bit junkie but it worked…maybe I’ll take it further this time around, i’ll get back with where to put it, i forgot and will have to look again.
I agree…
There are login redirect plugins (bpdev-logout-redirect + bp-redirect-to-profile). I’ve integrated them into my theme. User/member management is fatally underdeveloped.
sweet! i also dropped viper a note in that wp support thread over to here.
yo @johnjamesjacoby – add it to the site too 
If someone wants to do this for their BP installation, the download link didn’t work for me (6-25-2010) but I found excellent instructions here:
