The plugin folder must be called ‘buddypress’. Yours is called ‘1.5-rc-1’.
Trying to install the RC on a test site triggers the following fatal error:
Warning: require(/home/jcs7345/public_html/bpdev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-wpabstraction.php) [function.require]:
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/jcs7345/public_html/bpdev/wp-content/plugins/1.5-rc-1/bp-loader.php on line 68
Resolved. It was related to BuddyPress Multilingual plugin.
Hi, I’m wondering if BuddyPress can be easily integrated into an existing membership site community of over 100 people, or if that messes things up.
(I’m coming from a Joomla environment where installing community building components when you already have existing users can cause some issues.)
Thanks very much,
Phil
Howdy – in Admin I am getting “New activities to handle: ” alerts. How can I remove these alerts? Why do they show in the first place? Are these alerts generated by Buddypress, or another plugin, like bp-moderation?
Thanks!
Examples:
New activities to handle: new_forum_topic
New activities to handle: added_group_document
Seems that JS is messed up on the wordpress admin interface, along with the issues above the editor doesn’t show content and I can’t switch between Visual and HTML view.
I’m using the default buddypress theme and I now have no other plugins active. I also reset the plugins (active_plugins field) in wp-options table and then only turned on buddypress. I have not customised core code.
Was previously running 3.2.1 and 1.2.9. I’ve upload/installed the plugin in various ways to make sure nothing went wrong.
Seems a JS issue to me? As if wordpress required functionality has been overwritten. The buddypress admin bar dropdowns work.
Is anyone else having this issues?

BP is installed and working. However, trying to integrate with my theme and for some reason, BP is relying on its core files rather than the files auto-copied to my theme by bp template pack. The files seem to be copied correctly, residing in my theme folder as /theme/activity/ – /theme/blogs etc.. If I edit activity/index.php nothing happens. But, editing the core bp-activity.php shows changes. I may have missed something I suppose. Thanks for the help and the awesome extension.
Also… I just wanted to comment that it would be really nice if the documentation for Buddypress is more organized. Currently there is information about 1.5 mixed in with 1.2 and even earlier. Is it that difficult to separate major versions and keep it organized?
I came across an article in the codex talking about enqueued CSS, with lines of complex code including instructions to update a variable when changes are made to bust cache.
I am sitting here waiting for some answers without working any further on this project, thinking to myself WTF does enqueue stylesheet and bust cache mean, I cannot even get comprehensible answers googling them, and hoping that I did not waste numerous hours working on a pre-1.5 project powered by BP.
i do appreciate all the hard work put into BP, but just because it is open source doesn’t mean there is no need for any logic behind it. Obviously there is no expectation for serious projects to use it out-of-the-box with the default theme and default components, so in my opinion, it is essential to explain to your users what the next version means and what needs to done for a smooth transition. Instead of publishing several articles about an unreleased version, perhaps it would have been wiser to have done that instead. If I had the knowledge, I would have gladly offered that.
I really hope I don’t move to another platform as I love WP and really liked BP’s usability when doing my research.
I am looking to move some the functionality like: notifications for example into a link some where on the page. I am wondering where the buddy press admin bar “links” are located, like dash board, activity and what not. I was looking in the buddypress admin bar core but didnt see any thing.
I am looking on multi site to possibly do a set up like this:
site 1: blog
site 2: buddypress
site 3: bbpress/blog
site 4: buddypress + bbpress
Is this possible? How would you do it?
I have successfully installed the development version of GroupBlog and have made two separate attempts at getting any group blog to be created. Buddypress 1.5 RC, GroupBlog (Development) and BP Group Management plugins installed. I’ve laid out the steps pictorialy (it’s in SmugMug, just hover over the main pic and select “Original” size from the menu):

Personal activity streams don’t seem to be working either if you are using the template pack.
PS: The personal activity streams on buddypress.org doesn’t seem to be working anymore either and all the old activity is completely wiped out.
1. Please would you clarify what comments you were referring to? The activity stream? If so, we’ve done that in BuddyPress 1.5, due out real soon. Try it out — http://testbp.org/activity/
Hi,
Screen options drop down, help drop down, select all posts, etc. are not active after upgrade to BP 1.2.10. Using WP 3.2.1.
I have narrowed it down to buddypress plugin, all other plugins are off. With all plugins off, the functionality works. With buddypress on the functionality does not work.
I have cleared cache etc.
Hope you can help.

Ok So heres the sitch:
Multisite Network version 3.2.1
Site 1: Blog
Site 2: buddypress version 1.2.10
Site 3: Blog
the bp admin bar shows up on all 3 sites when you visit it. The bp admin bar also shows up on all the admin pannels for those sites and the network admin pannel.
I need to contain buddypress admin bar to site two. So what did i do:
http://buddydev.com/buddypress/remove-buddypress-admin-bar-from-all-blog-except-the-main-buddypress-site/
I followed those steps to a T. How ever: Buddypress Admin bar was shut off to all users visiting the site but still on for all users who had access to the admin pannel for all three sites including the network admin pannel.
What changes Have I Made to the admin pannel? None other then css.
For anyone looking, use the most recent github version of bp-template-pack for getting your theme BP 1.5 compatible – https://github.com/boonebgorges/bp-template-pack. Be wary of jquery conflicts and note that you may need to use the old method of editing 13 files instead of the more graceful method mentioned in the instructions.

Ah, so there is such a function. Haha, I do see the appeal and usefulness, but in this case it’s linking some rather…odd words. I’ll look around and see what I can find.
Thank you again, you’ve been a great help!
@tnd, you’re welcome. Actually, the links are one of the most “awesome” features of Buddypress. Let’s say that one of your family member’s plays the violin, where Buddypress has applied a “link” for “violin”. Guess what happens when that link is clicked? Buddypress searches your entire community for members who have that attribute and lists them for further perusal, friendship building, etc. It’s a “community” building feature. Saying that, there’s a way to tell Buddypress not to establish a link for a particular word/element, etc. For example, a phone number would be a silly element to have a link for, right?
Since I’m new to all of this, I cannot remember what the tags/punctuation is that one would surround the word with that you wouldn’t want Buddypress to provide a link for.
@DJPaul, I went back to my profile and tried a several different combinations. This shows up when the field group has a multiselect box where an item has been selected then saved. When viewed in Public, the Group field heading shows up as well as the field’s value. After clearing that multiselect field and saving, Public still shows the Group heading with no values. This happens in testbp as well. Thanks.
Thank you very much for the prompt reply! I think I understand what you’re getting at; each family member would sign up with their own account, and become a member of the group, correct?
However, there are a few reasons why that would complicate matters: for one thing, my site will have paid memberships, so it would be preferable if a single family could use one membership. Also, I had planned on members being able to create sub-profiles for their pets.
I believe I have fixed the ‘Name’ problem by simply changing the field names. Thank you for the help, @qrahaman! It’s greatly appreciated!
So now my only problem is the links…
@TammyM Should show up in dashboard menu Appearance > BP Compatibility if both BuddyPress and BP Template Pack plugins are activated. What versions of BP and template pack plugins are you using?
