You are editing the wrong file.
If you have buddypress and buddypress template pack and still the buddypress files are shown but not with your theme layout, then do the following steps:
go to your theme location: wp-content/themes/ yourtheme
do you find there the following files & folders
activities, blogs, forum, members, groups, registration
in each of them, you will find either home.php or index.php in particular.
these file will have the code like
get_header()
………
………..’this is the code segment you need to replace’
if you find any extra code in between this two lines, save them in a notepad. After doing the following steps, bring those extra codes ‘if any’, back in this segment after replacement.
……….
div id=”content”
you need to replace this code segment with that of your theme,
now open wp-content/themes/ yourtheme / index.php
and copy the code segment
php get_header()
………
………..
……….
div id=”content” class=” …………………………………………………….
Paste this code segment to the area where mentioned above.
What is your permalink setting? Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks
I use MAMP on my own machine, but I don’t use the default settings. I wrote a post about it some time ago, where you can read more about how I configure it: http://teleogistic.net/2010/05/setting-up-a-wordpressbuddypress-development-environment-on-os-x/ In particular, you might be having a problem related to your hosts file, or maybe the Apache port settings. (I’m stabbing in the dark a bit here 
)
that is buddypress 1.2.9 of course – could not edit the topic
Hi there – here is the setup I am using:
OS X Lion 10.7
Wordpress 3.2.1
Buddypress 1.29
Mamp Pro 2.0.1
I can install WordPress just fine as I always do, and the other local sites I have installed are running fine.
I can download and install the Buddypress plugin both manually and via the build in mechanism in WordPress. As soon as I activate the plugin I get a HTTP Error 500 and the page cannot be loaded. From then on I cannot get to the /wp-admin page until I remove the plugin again.
Any thoughts?
Feast of Fun, check the trac (https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/). it have all the information you needed.
@T3Kaos
This is relatively easy to do using BP-Album+. Just install the plugin (available here) then paste the “Global Media Page” action (documentation) into the user profiles template and set it to filter by the current user.
^F^
Thanks for all the hard work you guys put in! We’re looking to integrate buddypress into our own website, should we wait until 1.3, will there be any significant changes to it that would make upgrading a challenge? Is there a page somewhere where we can see the planned changes/features? Thanks!
I seem to be having a problem….a bit more complicated than those here. I have set up buddypress, installed the plugin to make my theme compatible, and everything says its working great. I see all the links in the admin pannel at the top, but if i click ANYTHING, i get a 404 page not found. Click register, 404. Click members, 404…click profile get a 404..any suggestions?
@Andrea_r ,Thank You for your concern about my issue
I resolved this problem,new users are WordPress users ,first time I think there is an option in BP for adding new users, but there is no such option
At this stage, you would need to upgrade Multisite to Multinetwork via plugin. Then via another plugin in beta, have truly separate instances of BuddyPress in each Network of the multinetwork installation, Better read this http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/
This is a multi site sub directory install with only three sites, the primary site is not using Buddypress, just a secondary site uses it and this is the one that is giving the problems. The third site is active but not being used and is not using BuddyPress.
My .htaccess file follows, (some differences but I don’t know if these are significant).
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /now/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

hi,
i want to know if there is an xml oder json api for buddypress?
e.g. one could implement to smartphones etc. with that.
I to am interested in this. Any update on this? I have buddypress working on my multi-site but it only works on the main site and then on my subdomains I just get an 404 error if you click on members for example on a subdomain – so does it setup the buddypress across the network or per site on the network? I am googling and trying things but not fully understanding what it will do in a multi-site setup on 1.2.9
Ok i have been looking around for a while but with no luck, i have a user bar which shows the users Activity, Messages, Groups and Friends. What i am looking for is the code to show the number of new group invites and new activity that has been happening, at the moment i have the ones for messages and friends which are
bp_friend_get_total_requests_count
bp_get_total_unread_messages_count
Does anyone know how to get the count for activity and also group invites for a user?
Cheers.
@onyx808
will my members still be able to ‘reply’ to the activity updates as normal if I insert this code..?
`function filtering_activity_default( $qs ) {
if ( empty( $qs ) && empty( $_POST ) ) {
$qs = ‘action=activity_update’;
}
return $qs;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_ajax_querystring’, ‘filtering_activity_default’, 999 );`
Also where exactly do I place this in: functions.php please..?
Just to clarify, do you already have an external bbPress installation? Your external bbPress installation must use the same database as your BuddyPress installation otherwise this integration won’t work.
If you do not have an external bbPress installation using same databse, then you should use the BP Forum Setup and create/install a new bbPress forum.
hi all just installed BuddyPress but I can not install bbPress in BuddyPress.
In order to integrate bbPress into my WordPress/BuddyPress site, I need to use the “Forum Setup” option under the BuddyPress panel in the WordPress admin area. When I attempted to use the option offered to me labeled “Use an existing bbPress installation” I am asked for the location of my bb-config.php file. When I put in the path, I get this message:
“The bb-config.php file was not found at that location, please try again.”
I have tried using the path from the root of my server with and without using the actual bb-config.php file name.
I have tried using the absolute path using my domain name with and without the file name above and with and without the “.www” in the path.
I cannot think of any more possible ways to direct my site to know where bb-config.php is located. I can see it on the server and can open it. Nothing I can see is out of place.
Hello Paul,
Thank you for the purpose, I’m very sorry to disturb you but I have just installed BuddyPress and I don’t have any idea to make that. What’s the code for customizing the loop placed in members/index.php ? How can I know the ID of the value of the gender field ?
Thanks.
@mercime I did, thank you for the advise!
Hello,
I would like the members directory display all male users if the logged in user is a female, and all female users if the logged in user is a male. Is there a way to make that with BuddyPress ?
Thank you !
