@stefrusso check this link http://tempsg.com/buddypress you can see I have a text widget with HTML text added. This theme is using the same code as the default BP theme. I’ve only included CSS to format the widget columns.
This problem has been reported:
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/nothing-appearing-under-my-blogs
I’m afraid there isn’t a definitive solution for this yet.
You can have a look at a theme called Feed me, Seymour, https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/feed-me-seymour
It is not for BuddyPress, but maybe you can find some code to copy and paste…
@ashfame, it only adds one @import request if you do your overrides in the same CSS file.
eg.
@import url( ../../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/style.css );
#content {WHATEVER;}
...
more overrides here
Workin’ on it! 
Have one ready today, just having issues getting it repo-ready.
really I mean this one :
My Site is prouldy powered by WordPress MU & BuddyPress
I can delete this?
With regards to this thread’s title, if by “linked data” you are referring to the Semantic Web, then microformats do not have anything to do with Linked Data. Linked Data (with capitals) is a very specific entity whereas, linked data (lowercase) can mean just about anything. So, I’m just trying to clearly understand what you are suggesting.
It is important to know that what the Microformats community calls POSH (Plain Old Semantic HTML) is not the same thing as semantic markup which uses RDF classes and properties to model relationships between data. Semantic Web applications are built using a stack of W3C technologies.
http://linkeddata.org/
But I agree that properly semantifying BuddyPress via Linked Data protocols is a great idea!
If you have a child theme, simply copy over /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/footer.php to your child theme and modify to your liking.
Kwiw please lets us know if you find any other options out there. I for one am always looking for more oprions on stuff like this.
Thanks for all your reply guys. I will check everything out. 
Hi,
As a newbie i first want to thank the community for buddypress – I hope I will get everything to work properly.
I cannot get images to work on my site http://www.nannys.dk
When trying to upload an avatar to a profile i get to a page where i can crop. The image is not visible, so unfortunately I cannot crop. Standard avatars work fine.
Also it does not collect Gravatar.
When inserting an image to a blogpost, i cannot get to show the image. The image is uploaded, but not shown.
I hope some friendly person can assist me?
Best regards
To all,
I have tagged v0.51, which fixes the “cannot modify header” issue.
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/oembed-for-buddypress.zip
You still need to rename the folder from “oembed-for-buddypress” to “bp-oembed”.
This will be the last release in the 0.5 series.

Andy P has made some nifty improvements to the plugin. Among other things, no more folder renames and whitelist! Thank you Andy!
This upcoming version will be v0.6 and will be released when BP 1.2.1 drops early next week.
Thanks everyone for testing.
ahhh..i thought so..
i was thinking of using absolute path in grandchild theme functions.php..inside functions.php are
include (BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php’);
include(ABSPATH . ‘/wp-content/themes/child-theme-one/functions.php’);
<!– start grandchild theme extra function –>
adding some filter to function below to point to get_option(‘template’);
get_stylesheet_directory()
get_stylesheet_directory_uri()
all works well…but when dealing with define STYLESHEEPATH and TEMPLATEPATH.
i can’t add filter or apply filter since it is a define function and definately cannot redefine.
that’s where i know i hit rock bottom:)..and pull the white flag
the only solution will be
bp-default -> child-theme-one & child theme two with extra customize..so there 2 child theme with bp-default as parent..well this is doable in the first place:)
anyway..thanks for the input guys..cheers
thanks Marshall, for the optional field, could it be possible to do the same for the thumbnail?… i’d like my links repository to be without thumbs when i need it..
@nexia
I didn’t mean to give the impression that I will copy how facebook handles links in regards to their activity stream. I want to do it in the most user friendly way possible, just not sure exactly what that is yet. The main goal of this entire plugin for me is to enable people to share stuff they find on the internet as fast as possible. So however we need to make it work to meet that goal is what we are going to do.
I don’t think it would be too hard to make description an optional field with a configuration constant. Per category I don’t think is worth the effort unless a ton of people request it.
Peterverkooijen answered me at
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/notifications-not-being-sent
my question remains open there though, because (at this time) I haven’t solved the problem.
(but thanks anyway Peter)
Hmmm. Do you think so? I have my test blog sending notifications fine using either the BuddyPress Default 1.2 theme or the ultra simple child theme I tried that depends on BuddyPress Default (only removed page tabs and search field top right).
Yet using either of these supposedly identical themes on the older blog that used to have intensedebate do not send notifications.
If you purchased that custom BP theme, then contact theme author. If you created that custom theme, then double-check template tags as many have been deprecated from older BP versions to current 1.2 stable. Also, it would help others help you :https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support
@emilywebber, thanks for the reply! So, I looked in my WordPress Dashboard Settings (Dashboard > Settings > General) and I don’t have a setting for allowing user registration. I think it was moved in WordPress Multi-User to this menu: Site Admin > Options, where I have these choices:
* Disabled
* Enabled. Blogs and user accounts can be created.
* Only user account can be created.
* Only logged in users can create new blogs.
Selecting “Enabled” or “user account can be created” doesn’t fix the issue.
@Sunset Cowboy, no that didn’t help. The BuddyPress 1.2 theme (appropriately) doesn’t show the link to users who are logged in. Logging out and clicking on the “Create New Account” link still just redirects to the homepage.
Is there something else I’m missing? Perhaps some other setting? I’m thinking of shutting off BuddyPress and trying to create a new account in just WPMU.
Thanks,
K
I’m also would like to donate, this plugin is amazing.. PayPal details please 
i like the tool, i’m ready to invest a little in it… Marshall, tell me…
i read that you want to mimic the way we can add links to the facebook activity… if i may… i hate how facebook deal with links, as sometimes it work, some times it wont… when we post a link in a comment or our feed it interact differently, and i’d like to see a different technique.
also, when we provide a new link, if we have nothing in the description we have the alert to fill all fields… could we avoid this, as the description may not suite all needs?? like for each category, enable force description?
Do you accept donations through paypal or similar? I really want you to continue on improving it
@MrMaz – Dropped you a pm with some account details
