If you’re talking about the buddybar, read this: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/
If you’re talking about the WordPress 3.0 admin bar, that’s different.
In either case, you want this code: `groups_is_user_member( $user_id, $group_id )` 
I have it on my setup right now. I’m not sure that it’s doing anything for BP, to be honest, but I also don’t know how to check
I looked at the plugin page on my wp-admin side and it’s all `./wp-comments-post.php` down the board.
Cookies for Comments works, though.
@Timothy Tarmon Jr am still trying to see what am i doing wrong. its not working for me right now.
regards
Apparently there are some known problems with BuddyPress and “almost pretty” permalinks like index.php/whatevers. @djpaul was looking into it last year, and IIRC his quick ‘hack’ was to pull index.php from the permalinks and use .htaccess to work around it. Though I don’t know what your .htaccess would look like for that 
It’s because the admin username that you set up with for your hosing account is different from the one that buddypress mentions to, which is “admin”. Not sure why this happens, but here is how to solve it.
Install this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpvn-username-changer/, and change the username to “admin”. You don’t have to change it to admin, but that’s what it says on your profile to mention to, “@admin“.
BP – Version 1.2.7
WP – version = 3.0.4
I’m adding some simple member blocking.
Everything works fine except for one annoying issue with friendship requests.
When Member A does a friend request on Member B who has blocked them,
for Member A the text “Add Friend” changes to “Friendship could not be requested”.
I need it to say “Friendship requested” so that they don’t know they are blocked.
[ If Member A refreshes the page, they will see “”Friendship requested” ]
So, I think the “Friendship could not be requested” is coming from ajax somewhere.
I have changed that text in :
/plugins/buddypress/bp-friends.php
and
/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php
and
/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages/buddypress.pot
But “Friendship could not be requested” still appears.
Where else could it be coming from?
Thanks @digte , let me look into it and if I am able to post it there I will post a link.
*edit, wordpress approved the plugin, I have a link to the plugin as soon as possible
@mercime added that into wp-config.php but it still doesn’t allow members to @mention me properly. I would be willing to set up a test account for someone to try to understand the problem more if that will help.
By the looks of that site – you need to enable pretty permalinks which is required for buddypress….
To fix this problem, enter the WordPress admin panel > Settings > Pemalinks – set to any configuration other than the default configuration. The mod_rewrite must be enabled on your server for pretty permalinks to work
And a link to your site will help.
“it still ain’t happening.” isn’t much to go on to help troubleshoot. 
== Can someone please give me a dullards guide on installing child themes. How I am doing it now because that’s what I’ve read, is to activate the child theme and not the parent theme. But it still ain’t happening.==
The question is whether you created a child theme of bp-default theme or of a WordPress theme.
– If you created a child theme of bp-default theme (https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/), upload the folder you created to server wp-content/themes/, then activate the child theme and you’re good to go and customize further.
– If you created a child theme of a regular WordPress theme, then you also need to install and activate the BP Template Pack plugin to make your child theme compatible with BuddyPress

Thanks for your work and your fast reply!
Have you considered uploading your work to http://code.google.com ? Here you can receive feedback directly and people can report bugs? I have seen a lot of developers use it. It is a great way to get help for it also.
You can start from here: http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/GettingStarted
Is there a place where I can see/get your code at the moment? (saw that you had problems pasting it in here)
Really appreciate your work 
Now, I’ve been mucking around with various cms/blogging whatnots for years, none are problem free. Now for my current needs Buddypress is the only one which is easy to install and the plug ins/themes are so easy to install, it’s all done for you. Wonderful.
Now my only problem is a theme. I want a darkish red theme for my site, and I’m trying to install ‘child themes’. I have followed all instructions, activated the child theme and not the parent theme but it just isn’t happening. I am on the verge of giving up entirely because I just want things to work without spending days hunting around for solutions, uninstalling, reinstalling. So many days………………………….

Complete novice to the world of Buddypress and plugins so bear with me. I installed a forum plugin and activated it and did all the amendments…but how do you add it to say the forum page.
I understand how widgets works but not plugins…
Hello,

Thank you

Hi,
First I’m sorry for my language :-p
I begin with buddypress, i will use this for my friends.
I search a plugins to publish direct from the front, like facebook, if I post :
A link to youtube => i see the video
A link to a site => i see a picture with 2 or 3 lign text
I cut and paste a picture => I see the picture
…
I’have see this with P2 for WordPress, but i haven’t competance to integer this in buddypress
Can I find this or not ?
I begin with WordPress and Buddypress sorry for the question, thank you.

The code still works but, she just commented out the script for now @digte . alice reported a bug and I’m in the works of fixing it.
*edit : wordpress is reviewing the plugin now, not sure how long it will take but when it’s available i’ll let you know
@gunju2221 Ok, let me know if you want any mods or if it’s not working correctly. ( if its working at all, let me know, thanks)
Sorry @vegasparty607 but in order for this to look right I will need a link to “your site” . either way i meant for 117px to be 130px i edited my last update , review it.
The span’s css is ` `
@naijaping make sure you made the folders `wp-content/themes/(yourTheme)/members/single/member-header.php`
and not `wp-content/themes/(yourTheme)/member-header.php`
@mikey3d thanks for pointing that out, if that isn’t his site then he must be using the same theme, I have had alot of people wanting help but most don’t like to link to their sites. Kinda odd, since a link with help promote their site.
Think of it this way-
If it’s taking a really long time to develop, it must be blooming with very cool features.
Would you rather have an update with little to no additions/fixes, but takes a short amount of time, or an update with tons of additions/fixes, and have it take a little while longer.
Also, buddypress is *free*, so what are you complaining about?
