I should have said multiple WordPress sites are not good on $5 hosting. BBPress is changing to a WordPress Plugin and would probably not require as much resources. FaceBook connect creates WordPress users. Users can use BuddyPress or Next version of BBPress from WordPress user accounts.

Sometimes, you just have to get your hands dirty to get stuff done 
@pcwriter
Thanks!
I had seen that, I just thought there was an easier process. Gonna give it a go.
@aljuk Same problem here, and your solution worked. Thanks 
@kevbow If you’re running Firefox (and I hope you are ), go to Tools > Options and click Remove individual cookies. Scroll until you find your site name, open the folder and scroll again until you find bp-activity-oldestpage. Highlight it and click Remove cookie. Done.

Before you can create blogs, you need to create a network on your WordPress install. Here’s how:

Hi all!
I’ve written a rather extensive tutorial on how to create and style a really cool-looking splashpage for Buddypress sites, with nested content & tabbed navigation. You can see how my splashpage example looks and works live on a new site I’m working on: http://kwitterz.com/ Here’s a screenshot:
The tutorial was written specifically for my BuddyBuilder theme, but you can adapt the idea to any BP theme by wrapping header, sidebar and footer content in !is_user_logged_in() conditionals.
Check it out at http://buddylite.com/2011/buddybuilder-tutorials/style-a-splashpage-with-tabbed-content/
I have about 84 existing wordpress posts. Im trying to create another template in the buddypress theme which is supposed to load these posts from wordpress. But nothing appears.
I know with wordpress, I create a template, add my code, create a new page, assign the template and bam. New page loads the content I want.
Doesnt seem to work that way with buddypress does it?
Hello – I just installed this plugin but I’m using WPMU and after network activating it I cannot see it in my Network Admin > Buddypress > *anywhere*
Nor can I see it in Site Admin. Is this not intended to work with Multisite? It doesn’t need to, I just wanted to get users imported..
Also, will facebook connect work for bbpress just like it does for buddypress?
is bbpress a better alternative?
Has anyone come across a listings plugin for BP, whereby community members can create listings of (stuff. e.g. could be books, cars, MTBs or any other item that people collect – text plus image, together with some standard meta data). The plugin would integrate with the BP activity stream and reflect a 1-to-many relationship with a member, but also be cross-referenceable across users, i.e. you view a list of items/stuff within the community and can see who has listed such item against their profile.
I’m looking for a starting point, to avoid reinventing the wheel, but could either combine several functions/plugins together or replicate and cut down an existing function (such as groups).
Just looking for a yeah or neah at this stage plus any suggestions.
Thanks
Sorry, I don’t know why it does that with code tags.
Put this:
/* Inherit the default theme styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css );
/* Inherit the default theme adminbar styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css );
Do you have template pack installed? If you do, all the files you need to edit are currently in your theme folder via FTP.
For example, yourtheme/members/single
To edit styles, template pack, or buddypress doesn’t add any styles to buddypress by default. You can add them by adding this to your current CSS.
`/* Inherit the default theme styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css );
/* Inherit the default theme adminbar styles */
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/adminbar.css );`
Then, of coarse, edit the CSS to what you like.
Ggortan, do you have jetpack installed?
I have noticed many problems with jetpack causing memory errors.
Sorry to see this thread. Here are two resources that might help you install BP and troubleshoot blank pages:
Blank pages:

@dennissmolek memory limits can be overcome in the wp-config file, too. I’m not sure what happens to wp-settings during an upgrade of WP. Is the wp-settings file potentially overwritten?
Their website is http://devpress.com and the link to their new theme is http://devpress.com/themes/visual/
Sounds like a memory issue. I had it when working with WP-commerce. My suggestion is to adjust your memory in wp-settings to something like: ini_set(‘memory_limit’, ‘128M’);
What’s happening is theres a glitch somewhere and its crashing the whole script. If the glitch happens early it displays a big blank nothing.Turn off ALL plugins, then turn on BP. See if it crashes again.
Also, view the source of the blank page, you can see if anything is loading at all.
Ok, thanks.
But will BP be installed on the other Blogs? or at least the Users still have access to post on those other blogs?
Thanks.
– Shop
These instructions will show you how to enable Network Mode in WP: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
This will not affect BP, except that you will have a Blogs tab on your main nav.
I’m afraid I don’t know anything about the gamechangers part. If it turns out that you go with a Subdirectory Network installation, you’ll have to make that subdomain off limits at Network Admin > Settings.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
very nice avatars , I am using facebook autoconnect premium , I am satisfied with that (except facebook fields support – location , age , language ) , I am also member of buddydev.com where I can use its facebook connect too, but avatars from there changes the size in sidebar and in profile and till now I didn’t have a time to play with css files to change it and to put it in live environment , I like Brajesh plugin more because of facebook fields = buddypress profiles fields sync , feature which autoconnect doesn’t have , do you support that too ? I am using facebook autoconnect a lot , so if you want I can try to test it out for you too . Using custom avatars like I have seen your examples would be great because many people doesn’t want to show their original facebook photos .
I had the same question 1 month ago here on BP and nobody responded , hope that somebody will respond you because I have a csv file with 20K nightclubs and I would like to create 20K groups where every club will have their forum , review , blog , gallery , wiki =docs . I would like to add there some groups profile custom fields where I should add custom fields to describe every club , but there’s no fully working plugin yet , Groups Extras from @slaffik seems to be left, Groups Frontpage has only a few fields.
I’m integrating Buddypress onto the Genesis Framework but it’s unlike anything I’ve ever used – I don’t know where to edit the CSS (to change page layouts for the forum), how to embed each Buddypress “page” onto pages I set up (as with most other plugins)…. Do I just extract the Buddypress files and edit those? Or is there an easier way? Sorry, I’m a newbie!
The site I’m editing is:
