@raynerlim36 – Thanks for the info (linking custom to default.css) this was what I was missing!
@Karin – Hey! thanks for the tip, I needed this in the end.
I have got the menu working although my CSS seems a bit screwed up

Many Thanks All!
Hey Sascha,
I just came across your post and it looks like you are doing what I need to start my BuddyPress development. I realyl would like a skeleton plugin, that does what you try to achieve. Did you resolve the problem? Can you maybe – please – share your code ?
Thank you,
Zoe
You’re probably right about that….
Sorry – I’m still getting to grips with everything PHP and Buddypress – where would you add that filter?
@gregfielding – I have tried changing ‘favorite’ to ‘bookmark’, but with no luck. It’s easy enough to change it on a basic level, but it will change back to ‘favorite’ when you ‘remove bookmark’.
There’s something buried in the core files I can’t seem to find. I’ll do a new post on this.
Maybe someone will be mislead by what I said, so I’ll put the items in a list:
- Home
- Creative Expressions
And that is what I call a three-tier menu. Correct me if I am wrong 
.
Thanks for your help @r-a-y
It’s for the next version of this website: http://www.artmonastery.org
It’s for a network of artists. Each blog will be a specific art project, and each subscriber/author will be an artist participating in that art project. Many artists will be participating in many different art projects, and I’d like their bio information to be publicly displayed on each blog/project.
The blogs will be the public “portal” for each of the art projects, which we will us to promote the projects. The groups that are associated with each blog (with the group blog plugin) will be the internal communication tool for the artists.
I’d like all the subscribers/authors/etc (aka artists) for a given blog (aka art project) to be listed at the top of the blog’s index.php page, with a few fields from the xprofile (bio, specialty, etc.). Ideally, I’d get them to echoed in a way that was easy to feed into a snazzy jquery slider gizmo.
artists.
I’m trying to build a resource for these artists that is really 1 database with many faces, and given that I love wordpress, buddypress seemed like the best way to do that. It’s just stretching my abilities, at the moment 
@mrvon
Uninstall your copy of WordPress and install a new copy of WordPress MU (Multi-User).
WordPress MU allows each member to have his own blog. You need to set up blog domains first, though. For more instructions on setting up multiple blogs, read the WordPress MU readme.
BuddyPress will automatically set this up for you if it detects that you have WordPress MU installed.
@David
Can you code some plain CSS to create a three-tier menu?
As of now, it only displays two tiers, thus it would be good to have extra tiers.
I really need it quick too, my deadline is tomorrow.
@Karin How do I use David Lewis’ CSS to create a three-tier menu?
This does not work for non-admin users when there are no comments. The space where the comment section goes is blank.
this plugin takes away the traditional comment reply section – only the admin will see that.
Users should only see the activity stream (reply) (favorite) links under a blog post – BUT it will only work IF the blog post has an activity->type “new_blog_post” – otherwise the plugin won’t hook – the main activity action has to exist for that blog post (or comment)
On a similar subject, there should be a login form for non logged in users (“You Must Be Logged In To Comment”).
i’ll add in a log in link
Looks like you installed an external version of bbPress.
You should have used the internal version of bbPress bundled with BuddyPress:
eg. testbp.org/forums/
Read the following note after point #3:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/
Very simple way – assuming you’re using a child theme of bp-default
1. create and add home.php
2.a. paste either of following in home.php and upload to server
– forums directory on front page
<?php locate_template( array( ‘forums/index.php’ ), true ); ?>
– groups directory on front page
<?php locate_template( array( ‘groups/index.php’ ), true ); ?>
– blogs directory on front page
<?php locate_template( array( ‘blogs/index.php’ ), true ); ?>
OR
2. b. paste required code in home.php and upload to server –
– forums directory on front page – copy from here
– groups directory on front page – copy from here
– blogs directory on front page – copy from here
3. Delete the link (forums or blogs or groups) from header.php navigation div to avoid duplication
Does this only work with the username “admin” or just anyone with admin as role?
I don’t use “admin” as my head admin username anymore.
@ Mike Pratt
Not all plugins for buddypress enable delete functions etc for admins yet, this is a great way around that.
This actually sounds like it might be the root cause of my own issue.
After installing BuddyPress, I am getting the following error in my Dashboard under WordPress Development Blog, Incoming Links, and Plugins
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/herzsage/public_html/wp-includes/class-simplepie.php on line 14271
I’m not sure how it’s eating over 30MB to begin with, but the symptoms are there (no BBpress tables or files, Page Not Found error midway through group creation after installing BBpress, etc) and my Dashboard is clearly telling me I’m having memory issues.
However, I never had this problem when integrating the three before. I’m even running BuddyPress off a single-blog WordPress installation because I have no use for Mu – how is it eating so much memory, and what did you set your memory limit at to resolve the issue?

Sorry, what I meant to say is if you already know how to create custom write screens, etc. for WP, then it’s the exact same thing for a site running BP.
If you don’t know how to create a non-backend custom write page then unfortunately, this isn’t really the place to ask as it’s not really a BP issue. However, you could look at the WP TDO miniform plugin as I believe it can do this sort of stuff.
BP is just a plugin that provides the social interaction components. Everything still works like any other WordPress site.
Great! Thanks!
Just one more question (if you don’t mind). How do I go about allowing new registered users to post articles from a custom write post page?
I have used WordPress for a quite some time and can make custom themes but I;m new to Buddypress. Not sure where to start,
Oh. You might try changing this line
if ( (int)get_blog_option( $blog['blog_id'], 'blog_public' ) ) {
to
if ( (int)get_option( 'blog_public' ) ) {
Again, untested.

I made the edits and didn’t receive any errors, but it didn’t seem to work. There where no posts or comments in the activity stream.
This is what it displayed after hitting “import:”
