@djpaul yea I’m pretty sure, since at first I did realize it was still the old language file from pre-1.5, so I downloaded the new .pot and worked with it.
Since I was workign with a custom theme, I’ve even tried it with a child theme of Bp-default and still the same problem.
Need the same thing. Please someone help!!
@petergunn
This should help solve your problem:
Open your style.css file and find `#header h1 a`
Remove `text-indent: -9999px;` (that’s whats causing long text to bleed off the left side)
Then adjust the width to fit the length of your title.
Yea I would like two types of membership roles. One where they get access to buddypress pages and maybe some other pages. As well as another membership role were they don’t get access to much if anything at all.
Right now I have it so logged out members do not have access to buddypress but I want to create a user who does not get access to any posts and buddypress pages. Would be nice if someone could lead us in the right direction. I saw some plugins that will help create roles and such but it does not allow for specification of buddypress pages too.
I haven’t seen this problem before. What version of BuddyPress are you using, and what other widgets?
Yes to both. Are you able to deactivate template pack, switch to BuddyPress default theme, and see if they reappear?
If BuddyPress is disabled, and you still cannot register new sites in multisite, you have a WordPress problem. There are people with more expertise in this area, than us, over on the WordPress.org support forums.
Hi,
I’m trying to setup a BuddyPress site with WordPress Multi Site using the Fishbook theme. All is fine except for text alignment in the header. I tried playing with the style.css, but made it worst…
I have included the graphics explaining the problem. Look at the text alignment (in red).
1) PICTURE:
Look at the title
http://w3s.me/fb01.jpg
2) PICTURE: See when I try with a long title. The text justification goes to the left
http://w3s.me/fb02.jpg
The css file:
http://w3s.me/style.css
I would like the text to have a fix left justification, so the letters of a long title will go to the right.
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Peter
I think I’m losing my mind. I recall that under a member’s “Sites” tab, there was a sub-menu item that allowed the logged-in member to click on “create a site”, and would be presented with an embedded page (just like if one were to select, “Create a Site!”, from the WordPress/Buddypress admin bar–although this creates a blog for the main site). So, am I crazy or was a member never able to create their own blog from the “sites” menu tab? Thanks!
Wordpress 3.2.1, Buddypress 1.5.1, latest Buddypress Template Pack.
FYI: Under Network Settings: “Both sites and user accounts can be registered” was selected.
P.S. I also recall being able to create a “group” in a similar sub-menu under the “Group” tab. This is not available either.
I’ve now attempted to create 8 new sites on the network. All with different names and all created from Network Admin. WordPress creates the tables for the sites but that’s as far as it gets. The table infixes increase by 1 with each site created.
Here’s the error received while updating the network after reinstalling all WordPress files except wp-config.php and .htaccess (not the database):
“Warning! Problem updating http://blog.example.com. Your server may not be able to connect to sites running on it. Error message: Couldn’t resolve host ‘blog.example.com'”
WordPress knows the site is there. I suspect it hasn’t created the virtual host; not sure how to check for that – my eyes are open to learning new things here 
Both wp-config.php and .htaccess are confirmed as being unaltered by BuddyPress.
I’ve tried creating sites with all plugins deactivated but the result is the same.
Edited to add: site registration is enabled.

It would be a lot less time-consuming if you were to add the s2member snippet directly in your templates rather than each post as you write them. This way, the code would automatically run on every post.
I’m using the walled garden technique for some privacy and have adapted it for bp 1.5.* !
This is based on https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/members-privacy-how-can-i-hide-members-profiles?topic_page=2&num=15#post-102784 and needs to go in a bp-custom.php file…
`
function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;
if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) || bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) )
return;
if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( bp_get_signup_page() );
}
add_action( ‘wp_loaded’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );
`
Originally add action was to get_header but now the bp template loads the header first so I had to move it…
Before that one had to put a hook into the page template header to load the function – not sure which would now be best or if that hook is ok to use (It’s the only one i found that worked)?
The above function hides members and activity from those not logged in but enables forums and groups for everyone – see variation here
I just noticed that the language customizations are not working after upgrading to 1.5. As far as I remember everything was working before.
I’ve tried everything again as stated here http://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ — but no luck, I’ve tried putting the .mo files in /wp-content/languages, i tried keeping it in the bp plugin /lang and even inside the child theme /lang dir’s…each time pointing the following snippet to the right dir…still with no luck of the translations working.
`// change “en_US” to your locale
define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘en_US’ );
if ( file_exists( WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ ) ) {
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ );
}
`
here’s the name of the .mo file as I have it in the /wp-content/languages
buddypress-en_US.mo
I’m stumped. What’s odd, is that I was having the same trouble on a singular wordpress installation and i ended up getting it working by putting .mo files in the child theme dir and placing the following in the functions.php
`
define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘lang_EN’ );
if ( file_exists( STYLESHEETPATH . ‘/buddypress.mo’ ) ) {
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, STYLESHEETPATH . ‘/buddypress.mo’ );
}
`
Any ideas.
Thanks for your reply but BuddyPress is deactivated and deleted. The multi-site install worked perfectly prior to the installation of BuddyPress. The whole issue developed due to BuddyPress. It is the second time I’ve installed BuddyPress into a site (different sites) and BuddyPress has caused a multi-site to not properly register new sites within the network.
just find out that It doesn’t work together with the plugin: buddypress share it
Hi CJ, unfortunately the plugin is not working with my site. I’m using buddypress 1.5.1
is there any buddypress filter reference page? The funciton that prints the group description is `bp_group_description()`. Which filter i should use to nofollow links?
Many who help out are volunteers, aside from a possible time differences, a topic can get overlooked if not bumped after 24 hours or so. In many cases, some topics are not bumped because OP found answers via Google search etc.

Deactivate BuddyPress. You have to make sure that your WordPress multisite installation is working before activating BuddyPress. To resolve your multisite issues, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
Hi everyone,
I actually enjoy all the amazing possibilities of s2Member and Buddypress combined but I’m really concerned by a “bug” (if it’s a bug) I came across recently.
Since I want my posts to be readable by members only, I protected every one of them by a Level #0 requirement (free registration). Nevertheless, now when I want to “Share on Facebook”, the excerpt and thumbnail displayed are those of the Membership Options Page (the page where you are redirected if you are not logged in).
Is there any way I can keep the old behavior of the Facebook share? I don’t want people to share the Membership Options Page… and that’s not what users want either. The Facebook activity should engage users to have a look on what is the post about.
Thank you a lot for your time and help!
Sincerely,
BBC
@houser have you searched the plugin repo? Many plugins have been created since this thread started.
@mariuse do wait for 24 hours before bumping your post. There are time differences between where you’re at and volunteers who are based all over the world.
Open up your WP theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php in your theme folder. Open up header-buddypress.php and add the following at the very bottom:
`
`
Save and upload to your theme folder in server.
Open up your theme’s sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php. Open up sidebar-buddypress.php, delete everything in it and paste the following:
`
`
Save and upload to your theme folder in server.
Make sure that you keep the CSS and javascript enabled i.e. like this https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/2011-09.gif Click on Save Settings button
You can create your own BuddyPress component. Look at the BuddyPress skeleton component plugin for an example of how. You would have to create the proper functionality to be specific to your need but the plugin shows you how to attach functionality to profiles and activity streams.
I want to point out that BuddyPress works out of the box but if you start changing things and adding plugins this has nothing to do with the core development team. So to blame them that your custom install doesn’t work is not fair. Everyone on this support forum offering help is on a volunteer basis and as they say, “you get what you pay for”. 
As for this site, I’d rather the default theme be activated and the live updating that’s been going on for over 2 months stop. I can’t find my topics to help with support. Pretty much gave up on anything that isn’t on the first page.
