Thanks for your response!
It’s automatically created at yourdomain.com/register/. If you;re logged in, you won;t see it… because you are already registered.
Hi, I am running version 3.1.2. of WordPress, with the theme Yashfa 1.7, and the latest version of BuddyPress. I installed the BP Compatibility plugin, and went through the specified steps. I have gone to Settings –>General–> and make sure anyone can register. However, I cannot figure out how to setup an area for people to sign and register and become members of the site.
@4elle then start saving up for a VPS.
I noticed that the most bp components ( eg friends ) does ajax calls to wp-load.php. I also noticed that the response is done on “wp” hook.
I am curious about why not use admin-ajax.php like most wordpress plugins does. Is there a special reason for that?
I am looking for something that when a user creates a post it will tweet to there “personal” Twitter account. Not a “site” account.
Twitter Tools will do your blog posts. Are you looking for that or something else that would tweet group posts?
Thank you for your response, mrpavlikov, but unfortunately it doesn’t appear to have done the trick for me.
After closer inspection of your code, is it possible that the check_is_admin() function should use the Group ID as the second variable instead of the Activity ID? And if so, how do I reference the Group ID?
In case it makes a difference, I’m using a different theme than the bp-default theme that is contained within the plugins/buddypress directory, so I made the change that you suggested to the ajax.php file within both my child theme directory as well as within the plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default directory. I also made the change to buddypress/bp-activity.php, but it doesn’t seem to have done the trick.
Thanks again for your assistance, and to anybody else who might have some insight on the issue.
Also posted here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-vs-buddypress-strategy?replies=3 where folks had some answers 
MultiSite = Multiple blogs/sites
BuddyPress doesn’t require multisite and it’s not a vs strategy, and more of a ‘What are your needs”
BP plugins can certainly do what you want, but so can a custom post types, or separate sites on a Network.
Thought I’d update this quickly.
I’ve given up on trying to get the BP admin bar to work in tandem with PlatformPro navigation. Instead I’ve installed a Plugin (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-sliding-login-panel) which creates a rather nice login/profile panel.
My next job is to get all the profile/message screens working properly. The colors clash and dont work, does anybody know where I would look to edit these things?

This is working now! What nice thing! Thank you very much @shanebp
@shanebp sorry my noob question, but what folder should I put bp-custom.php?
Our in-development version of BuddyPress has had its theme updated for this and many other issues. If you’re familiar with SVN, you can grab a copy from https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/ — if not, check out a live demo site at http://testbp.org
@shanebp I tried that code, but I couldn’t get it working yet. Could you help me with it?
On my functions.php I added bp_send_private_bzzt, bp_send_private_bzzt_link and bp_get_send_private_bzzt_link.
I also added the buzzt link on my theme, but this new link gets me to a 404 page. I’m using the twentyten theme and bp-themplate-pack plugin.
Hey there!
I recently installed a local WordPress blog to try it out. I created some pages, including sub pages ( Drop-Down menu’s, whichever you like to call them ) and tried out some other editing options.
Just for the fun of it, I tried installing BuddyPress to see what it looks like. Though I have 1 problem after installing it: None of the BuddyPress themes support sup/drop-down pages. Without the plugin, whenever I hover on one of the pages, a drop-down menu appears with all the child pages. This doesn’t seem to be the case with BuddyPress.
I tried googeling for answers, but none of them ( Either older WordPress versions or Im just being stupid ) seem to work. I tried most of the BuddyPress themes aswell. Is there any plugin/hack that enables me to show those drop-down pages again?
Thanks in advance!
Grz.
Is there anything similar we could run as a cron job. So we could synchonize Buddypress with an external database?
Hello All ,
First of All ,
I am using ‘wampserver’ as my localhost .

also members and activity and forums doesn’t work …
i changed the permalink settings to “Day and Name”
and i also tried to upgrade the wordpress to 3.1.2 , but still the same 404 page appear.
Help pls
This is caused by your customisation, so I can’t offer a magic wand. The error means BuddyPress is expecting that bbPress has loaded and is trying to use it, but in fact it hasn’t been loaded. This is almost certainly an incorrect path somewhere.
In order for your users to register sites, you need to enable Multi-site. Once that’s done, you should be able to go into the Network Admin menu in the top right corner. From there, Settings on the Left has a Registration Settings area to Allow New Registrations. The available radio buttons allow you to decide whether your users can register Sites. This also enables the “Create A Blog!” option in the BuddyBar along the top.
On the root site (where buddypress is installed I assume), I would leave the General Setting as subscriber. Your users will be Admin on their own blogs, but you don’t want them messing about with your root blog.
@mercime Registration works normally in WordPress, as well as on a clean staging site with all the same plugins.

Hello All,
I can’t locate the site admin menu.
It’s the section that says, or used to say “enabled blog and user”
I have made multiple clean installs of the latest version of wordpress and buddypress separately and together (using simple script)
The version is 3.1.2
I want users to be able to sign up to make their own blogs.
The General setting is currently set to “subscriber”, but I’ve tried every oter option as well.
Thanks,
lj
Same here! I’d love to be able to use the great functionality of WordPress Users along with Buddypress and am quite surprised that I’m not seeing how to do this yet. I’d like to hear from others.
