I was going to make a hack for the plugin and then I realized something simple: Really simple… buddypress signup is the same as wordpress signup. Here;s the solution http://www.janvierdesigns.com/tutorials/janrain-engage-make-a-buddypress-plugin
I’ve never seen any errors regarding “you do not have sufficient permissions”. Are you trying to use site wide forums, group forums, or both?
Hello
I would like to ask . does buddypress have plugin to share audio, video and images on activity stream?
thanks 
Hello, Paul
Many thanks for the reply.
I just wonder whether you or anyone else can suggest the best way to get forums up and running on a new install of BuddyPress, WordPress and bbPress – all latest versions 1.5.1, 3.21 and 2.0.
There seems to be a problem that – apart from the “You do not have sufficient permissions” above problem – if you have to end up fiddling too much with install through BuddyPress and install through WordPress auto-installer, you end up having to install the whole caboodle from scratch and starting again – WP, BP and bbP.
Everything other than the forum element seems to be spot on.
Thanks again.
@sbrajesh this stopped working in 1.5.1, any ideas?
BuddyPress.org has its own problems which are not related to the current released versions of BP and bbP at all. bbPress 1.0 will be continued to be distributed with BuddyPress for the foreseeable future, but we’re going to push and promote using bbPress 2.0 with BuddyPress much more.
I hate to raise this issue but is there a definitive statement regarding how things are going to go ahead with BuddyPress and bbPress forums?
I notice that in Chrome and Firefox, even BuddyPress’s own forums do not allow you to go to page two of the list of topics – the screen just goes blank.
I have read that bbPress will not be included as part of the BuddyPress package in future releases and I have read a lot of people having problems getting the two to play nicely together.
I have given up trying.
Is there a cast-iron method to get the two working – WordPress 3.12 BuddyPress 1.51 bbPress 2.0 – all new installs, without getting the “you do not have sufficient permissions” roadblock?
As a note, this is on a multi-network with David Dean’s plugin, but everything has worked OK in previous versions.
Many thanks for any feedback and thanks for all the hard work from everyone.
…………………..
Now resolved
As it was a fresh site I deleted all and started again and this time round it all seems to be working fine.
Thanks

Is there a way to make the main parts of the profile ajax load? It’s quite annoying having to scroll past the header and menu every time I click a page/link.
Something similar to http://themeforest.net/item/salutation-wordpress-buddypress-theme/full_screen_preview/548199 but instead of the whole page refreshing, just the main/middle part of the window?
I’m running WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.5 upgrade from 1.2.10

This is a silly edit that I can’t for the life of me figure out how to make.
The title of the site works fine in the blog parts of the site.
it reads: sitename | location >> Name of post
An example of how the title reads in the Buddy Press activated parts of the site:
sitenameActivity Stream
I can not for the life of me figure out how to get a space between the sitename and the Buddy Press page titles.
Ideally I would like to add: space | space BuddyPress page
Right now I’ve got the standard WP title code in the header.php file.

Anyone have a clue card?

I followed thoose isntructions and what happened to me was that I can not see the forums at all now. The group forums part have been closed down since day one in the BuddyPressside on the components page. The site wide forums have been isntalled through bbpress. I am using forums as slug. I had a forums page and it letted me to see the forums structures ( not the whole one though with 3 layers of subforums but I think it had to do with theme side problems that should now be fixed with the new update we just got for Salutation theme few hours ago ( still waiting for my admin to uppdate to newest theme update) ). But when I deleted the Forums page and took it away from the Trash as well the forums disapeared totally. Yess I went to Permalinks and saved there even though Permalinks page did not need to be changed or anything, but still did it for the sake of it. Did not help. I can not see the forums at all now.

Things have changed since 18 months ago so it would be better to start a new topic.

You can limit access to forums by putting them behind private groups. By default, your members have the ability to post on the activity stream, but limiting access to groups, either by setting the Buddypress Admin panel to only allow Admins to create groups, or by using the Limit Group Creation plugin, you can keep your users out of certain forums.
Currently there is no out-of-the-box way to allow read-only access to a buddypress install; but given that it’s a SOCIAL network, it isn’t really a logical functionality to have: seems anti-social.
When you say “make a post on the site” are you talking about a Blog post in a WordPress Multisite install, or an Activity Stream update? A blog post from a user will create a hyperlink on the Activity Stream that will go directly to that blog, but very much like on this site, if you click directly on the avatar of the user in question, you should be taken to their profile page, on which you will see a “Friend” button, a “Private Message” button etc.
Ensure that you have activated all of these items in the Network Admin/Buddypress Panel. It is possible that you have friend connections; private messages; profiles; etc turned off. Here’s a nice tutorial on setting up Buddypress 1.5 http://wpmu.org/the-illustrated-guide-to-installing-and-setting-up-buddypress-1-5/comment-page-1/
you should implement or extend the roles of wordpress to work with, another solution is to use buddypress profile field’s and BuddyPress xProfiles ACL plugin to define roles
functions.php or bp-custom.php of your buddypress theme

I’ve been redesigning my latest project kwitterz.com and haven’t gotten around to adding CKEditor to docs yet, but that’s on my to-do list for this week. I’ll let you know how it goes
I wish to display random header photos in the BuddyPress Default 1.5.1 theme, but I have added too many photos and wish to remove some. How do I do this? I can add more photos but not delete any?
Shucks. Any plugins that may solve this?

dear,
Also confronted with same error: undefined function bp_activity_get_permalink() in undefined function bp_activity_get_permalink()
using different template, activation of activity stream worsens problem, then also on profile page errors
Hi @Dwenaus, the change you made is still available? you can email me? someone of the user that have received the mod can send me? Thanks to all
thanks for reply,
taking into account name of the function and result that I get, this function is meant for blog posts (I understand that this is clearly stated in the name of this topic too), but what I need is number of all activities, as it was discussed in the beginning of the topic.
@boonebgorges wrote nice function for this, but with an issue, which @modemlooper has described previously.
