@hnla My host has just set domain keys and SPF records for my account which is great but I can’t seem to find info on a PTA record. Could you give me some more info?

Hi
I must re-install all my website, and it’s impossible to have on-site registration box, on the right column in the begin. You can see it on http://faicmfsf.org
The page of BP Compability, this sentence is:
Navigation Links
You may want to add new navigation tabs or links to your theme to link to BuddyPress directory pages. The default set of links are:
Register: http://www.faicmfsf.org/register/ (registration must be enabled)
But I look at for this file, I don’t find it. I made a special page for regster too, but it didn’t run. For all other files it’s ok.
I want to put widgets for register, but anyone run. Sorry for my bad english
I became crazy, really!!
Thanks @hnla – I’ll try your suggestions. I appreciate the help 
– To create a group, assuming you’re using bp-default theme and that you’ve allowed Groups in BuddyPress > General Settings, go to http://yoursite.com/groups and click on the “Create a Group” link beside the Groups Directory header.
– The bp-default theme has a log-in form in the sidebar. Then assuming you allowed registration, it will have a link to the default BP registration page.
– Before installing any plugin, WP or BP, check plugin compatibility with your current BP/WP versions. If plugin notes compatibility up to WordPress 3.0 and BP 1.2.6, then you shouldn’t be installing that plugin in a WP 3.1.3/BP 1.2.8 installation.
Please check out the BuddyPress Codex for more information

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/
There’s a plugin for this, but it needs to be updated so the admin setting page link works in newer versions of WP:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/
To fix the admin menu problem, read this:
http://code.ipstenu.org/2011/wordpress-3-1-network-menu/ (also read the comments on that post)
Sounds like you’re using a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache.
If you have it enabled, disable it.
Right now, there are a few issues with using object caching plugins.
Stay tuned to the following ticket for updates:

Greetings,
I am on wordpress 3.1.3 and the latest BuddyPress. I want to enable people to create an account on my site which starts them out with the “subscriber” role. I want the subscriber role to be a “read only” role in terms of comments on WP posts, creating forum topics, and posting activity status.
So I have managed to hack up the UI pages in the WP themes and the BP theme files to remove various buttons from the UI that lets people post stuff. Today, when a user creates an account on my site, they get a BP profile and they can join public groups, etc. But if they go to the status page and enter a status, they cannot submit it because I’ve hacked it up so that the button is replaced with text that says “sorry, your level is not allowed to post status updates.”
But today I discovered that there are still some bots who have been able to create accounts on my site and post spam as status updates. So I figure the bots know just the right API call and they don’t have to go through the UI at all. Bah!
Before I try to dig deeper into the BP code, I figured I’d post here. Are there any extensions/plugins that let me restrict posting/status updating to certain WP roles?
Hi,
Currently using the most up to date versions of BP and WP.
I am trying to call the loop on a custom page template but seem to be having problems, I can’t query up the loop!
I am using this guide – http://www.onextrapixel.com/2011/02/21/using-wordpress-custom-template-to-create-layout-with-different-sidebar/comment-page-1/#comment-17524
It works without buddypress on regular wordpress themes. I would imagine I am just not referencing correctly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
@mercime I got buddypress-member-profile-stats updated to work with 3.1 and almost had restrict-group-creation working but I think some BP functions/hooks must have changed for 1.3 as it’s proving harder to kick into action.
@hnla good to know that you’re on the case 
The codex is a great resource: https://codex.buddypress.org/home/
Please check the permalinks settings: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks – I prefer day and name.
In terms of forums, there is a modified bbPress available if you enable this under the BuddyPress settings. Registration page is /register – and can only be seen if you are not logged into the site. Groups must be created. The rest is probably answered in the codex – or you can ask here.
Enjoy the journey
I got my BuddyPress set up with the newest version of WP. I’m using the sliding door template with the BP template pack. The problem is that for pretty much every thing on the page the links are broken. Even to pages and posts I have added. The other question is should BP set up forum pages, profile pages, registration pages, groups etc when the plug ins or added or do I have to go in and create these things myself? If so could you direct me where to find a guide for that? Thank you.
Sorry guys for some reason I don’t get emails sent to me when there is activity in my groups and I haven’t been too active here for a while. I have made a start and produced something usable, but haven’t worked on it for a while, so I would like to make this code available to anyone who is interested to expand on it. I managed to implement a feature to force users to complete mandatory fields in their profile if they haven’t done so.

Hello All
!
I hope my question is straightforward. I have WP installed on a subdirectory of my domain (i.e. http://www….com/wpinstallation) Within WP, I created a new page (only for redirection to main domain), which displays and works fine in the navigation bar on BuddyPress (i.e. Home, Activity, Member… New Page for Redirection to Main Domain) . The only problem arises when I have Private Buddypress running; the redirect page is included in the privacy, so it requires a login rather than just running the redirect script. I want the privacy to be set up accordingly for all the other pages (while still retaining the checkbox functionality from the WP privacy panel).
I tried Dennis Morhardt’s instructions with the exclude code being inserted into the functions.php (maybe I wasn’t doing it correctly). I tried a number of variations of the code below, but it didn’t work for me. Can anyone suggest what I should do to exclude that single page from the privacy settings? Please note, I am not a very experienced PHP coder. Thank you very much ! 
`
function make_blog_directory_visible($visibility) {
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_directory() && $bp->current_component == $bp->blogs->slug )
return false;
return $visibility;
}
add_filter(’pbp_login_required_check’, ’make_blog_directory_visible’);

@ARHistoryHub thanks so much for that code!! was searching for it all over the place… but found it here. i changed it a little bit so that a default message is showcased on a users public profile to other visitors if there hasnt been any activity…

Hi Thanks for responding!
Yes, by manual install I meant FTP’ing the files. And by auto install yes from the control panel I clicked install which does work but when I try to activate I get the fatal error message. I am on godsddy shared hosting (the free account) and they claim I shouldn’t be having any issues. Some things work when I FTP the files and some don’t. I was able to nstall and activate the BP template pack but not BuddyPress do I need them both? I also see that there should be some options under appearance for the template pack but there aren’t. Is there a tutorial on how to use it?
When I go to youareditched.com/members I get
“To enable the member directory you must drop the “plugin-template.php and plugin-sidebar.php” files into your theme directory.”
which is something I’ve not seen before.
So you have BuddyPress installed and activated; installed Hybrid theme, and then installed and activated Malleable child theme in some order or another. Next thing you need to do is install the BP Template Pack plugin which is not what I see in your page source.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
So I installed WP (which was a feat in itself) in hopes of being able to use BuddyPress but when I do the auto install I get this error:
Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file
Hosting******html/wp-content/buddypress.tmp because Permission denied in
Hosting******htmlwp-adminincludesfile.php on line 213
Download failed. Could not create Temporary file.
I did a manual install and got a fatal error message. Can someone explain in baby terms how I can fix this or if it can even be fixed? If you need it my domain is verbradio.com.
Thanks in advance!
== When a user Create’s a Blog and follows the link from the site to their created blog they get the following error; Error establishing a database connection ==
This is not a BuddyPress issue. Deactivate all plugins including BuddyPress; change to twentyten theme and check if you as Super Admin can create a blog from the backend. If not, then you have to resolve multisite setup at WP.org forums https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
As for BP Social Theme, you should be able to get free support for your premium theme at http://buddydress.com/
EDIT- could very well be a theme issue. If you change to bp-default theme, does the same error appear?
Most up to date version of wordpress MU and buddypress.
It does not display member pages, instead I get an error telling me the page cannot be found (http://youareditched.com/members/maliphant/)
Also…the css is not applied to these pages? It should look like this…http://youareditched.com/
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
