Hi,
I was trying ur solution to the unified search but everytime i do a search it only searches through the members. i did everything as instructed but it doesn’t work. Any ides??
I have previously posted an alternate question re trying to get users sites to load in a subdirectory /blogs/ – However I am doing it as so:
I have a WPBP install located at / with many subsites for administrative use only.
I have another WP install at /blogs/ that has site creation setup.
Users can create their sites properly under the /blogs/ install but when I enable Buddypress on the Second Network it does not use the same fields/avatars.
My BP-custom.php looks like this:
define( ‘BP_SILENCE_THEME_NOTICE’, true );
define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 1 );
define (‘BP_ROOT_SITE’, 1);
//define( ‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, true );
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );
Am I missing anything or is this not possible?
Just remembered, bp uses archive.php for the posts view. Open up archive.php and edit line 37 and remove the entire span tag and its contents. Leave the rest if you want tags to show up…
In your style.css you could add the lines:
.comments{
display: none;
}
Its not the prettiest way, but it should work. The double lines still exist though so you might wanna change the css for .postmetadata to…
Ok this is just weird. For the sake of trying to figure out what the hell is going wrong, i tried doing something very similar to this thread:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/providing-additional-info-in-userlist/
Heres the working [according to the thread] code @DJPaul posted:
function stwc_website_link() {
$data = bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=Website’ );
if ( $data )
echo “Website: {$data}“;
}
add_action( ‘bp_directory_members_item’, ‘stwc_website_link’ );
and heres my slightly modified version:
function cat_links() {
$data = bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=Catagories’ );
if ( $data )
echo “Website: {$data}“;
}
add_action( ‘bp_directory_members_item’, ‘cat_links’ );
It /should/ output a link that has the normal category output as its title [eg. Animation, Pottery, Photography] and link to a href thats the same as the title [obviously it would get you to a page not found, but this is just for a test]. BUT it just outputs the categories in exactly the same way as bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=Catagories’ ); or bp_get_member_profile_data( ‘field=Catagories’ ); – no links, no span tags, no label saying “Website:”. This is rather confusing.
Hello, All! 
I was wondering if anyone knew EXACTLY how to remove the words “No Comments” from this page…
It doesn’t work to modify the index.php, comments.php, or comment.php… which was the only solution on the very few pages I found with this issue.

Heh heh.
BuddyPress is a complex piece of software. For some sites, groups will be the best choice for community engagement – traditional forums, along with all the benefits of group extension plugins (BuddyPress Docs, BP Group Documents, etc). For some sites, the interactive activity stream will be better suited to fostering community – sort of like Twitter or Facebook. It’s highly recommended that you set up and configure your BuddyPress installation first by determining the needs of your site, and then by enabling and disabling components as necessary.
Best buddypress site ever seen! Now I will give up. Thanks.
Get rid of the popup bubble over content. It’s not showing anything just keeps recycling. Put some sort of background color on latest-update in the profile page.
Thanks for not answering any of the questions about groups and forums. You guys just turned up the suck and turned down the good of this thread haha.
It turns up the good, and turns down the suck.
The goal of BuddyPress is to maximize your site’s excellence.
Hi,
I setup multisite with BuddyPress on the main site and blogs as subdomains on a multisite. As I am setting up one of the blogs, everytime I try save a Custom Menu, it takes me back to the main site on buddypress. Why is this and how can I use custom menus on the subdomain sites? I have been searching, but haven’t found something about this specifically.
Thanks!

hello
when a new user registers buddypress /wordpress asks to activate through email .
how can i disable email activation?
thanks
status is updates, topics/posts is forum posts (but bbpress1.0), time since active is part of the default template(and bp includes a template function), and followers plugin did not work on my instance but that includes a count template function.
if you want the exact output here – you could use the functions in the plugin (+ followers and bp core time_since) and output your own mixup of counts via the action hook bp_after_sidebar_me
Once BP 1.6 + BBP 2.1 hits – I’ll update this plugin with ordering and more counts
Thanks @megainfo – That did not work, BUT, putting in wp-config.php did the trick. Thanks a bunch
PROBLEM SOLVED
We’re testing BuddyPress 1.5.1 on our development server and the default theme’s navigation bar isn’t working properly in Internet Explorer 7. It goes vertical instead of horizontal, which pushes all the page content down and creates a huge box of color across the screen. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Please help. I do not understand BuddyPress. What is the point of a forum if you have groups and ability to post in the activity stream? It just seems to be all over the place with no call to action. Please advise.
I’m also interested in turning off the registration process.
I saw this snippet (to be put into functions.php):
if ( bp_core_is_multisite() )
remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_core_wpsignup_redirect’ );
else
remove_action( ‘init’, ‘bp_core_wpsignup_redirect’ );
from this thread:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/sign-up-redirects-to-registration-which-goes-nowhere/
But its not working yet for me.
I started out with a Sitewide Forums install. At some point BuddyPress got the idea I wanted Forums for Groups installed too. Everything is quite messed up at this point.
I’d like to wipeout ALL data associated with the forums, so I can try to starting from scratch. I’ve tried:
– Turning off Discussion Forums on the Components page
– Clicking “Uninstall” (Installed) Forums for Groups
– Manually deleting all Topics, Forums, Replies
– Manually deleting all of the bb_ prefixed tables from my DB (even though they were empty!?)
– Disabling and deleting bbpress plugin, along with all the associated files option
I try going back into BuddyPress and turning Discussion Forums back on, and installing Sitewide Forums, but once I enable Discussion Forums in BP – all of my previous settings come back including under Settings->Forum.
How can I do a complete wipeout of all associated data, and try setting the forums up again?
Thanks in advance.
@etivite thanks for the reply, but all I see is “status, topics, posts, comments, userblogs” but not time since active, followers, updates, forum posts like the BuddyPress.org site. Do I have the wrong plugin?
Hi, Im needing some help getting my buddypress registration componenemt to complete.
The site is http://www.northoxfordpt.com/newsite
Feel free to try and register, and the “complete signup” button takes my users to a page that has no content.
The activation email is sent either.
I’ve checked other plugins, and nothing seeems to be conflicting.
The coding for the registration is standard, with the buddypress/theme install.
Any ideas or help would be very appreaciated.
Thanks in advance.
@oddzuki it might just be an issue with your custom theme. Change to bp-default theme.
By having tags and using BuddyPress groups, couldn’t that essentially eliminate the need for a forum?
What is the plugin used on BuddyPress.org for the member stats in the sidebar? “BuddyPress Member Profile Stats” plugin does not seem to do the same thing.
It would be nice if the BP site had a section that tells BP users how to do similar customizations. It’s very frustrating to use a demo or support site for a product that does not even tell other user how they did certain things.
