@jfigura – thanks for the tip about avoiding WPMU DEV templates, lol.
Re: too many quirky things in BP – I’ve found that a software program is ‘nothing but’ a bunch of quirky things. But it sure would be great if some brilliant programmer could create a plugin to solve this issue – I would certainly DONATE!
@Peter – you are definitely right about the trend to store sign-up email password notifications – In fact, I have a folder in my Gmail labelled ‘passwords’ full of logins including the one for Buddypress and WPMU! (I’d be resetting my password everyday if I didn’t)
@Mike – I would be willing to live with the current BP password situation because I sometimes forget (or delete) my own passwords and need to reset them and never even bother creating a password I can remember.
Where I’m at now, is trying to figure out how the frig to change the message from WPMU so I can eliminate the password that does not work (it actually sends the correct username).
I tried changing the text in the WPMU Admin panel, but this seems to have no effect at all – So I’m posting at the WPMU forum trying to find out which file to change.
Any ideas would be welcome : )
“Did you try creating a blog before adding BP? vhost means what kind fo blogs did you set up, subdomains or subfolders? “
Yes I sure did. They worked beautifully, same story once I remove BP.
Regarding this:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1947
I’m not sure my problem is exactly the same – I can create blogs by outside users that work fine. Only when I create them from the WPMU backend does the problem arise.
It’s all here by the way:

Thanks Guys!
@stwc
Thanks for the love. You are one of my original supporters from back in the 0.1 days, and its much appreciated.
@Everyone
My post about final being released got buried, so here it is for those that missed it.
https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-links-03-final-is-here-at-last
Please continue the conversation over there!
Loving the new version, MrMaz, on my BP1.2 testbed. So slick. No bugs yet, but I’ll be sure to let you know as I mess around with 1.2 if any appear.
Does anybody know if it’s already a known issue with activity stream in BP 1.2-final – content that loaded by clicking “more” button (through AJAX I suppose) completely untranslatable (buttons like Reply, Favorite, delete links, “more” button itself etc.). At least at my particular installation. Did anyone experience the same problem? Should it be reported?
I’m not so good in AJAX so I’m relying on default theme and could not provide the sufficient feedback on that, but it seems that some text are hardcoded in JS and didn’t affected by texdomain file.
I’ve browsed trac tickets – there’re some concerning the i18n issues but not exactly this as it seems to me.
P.S. @jjj
That’s the great news – about the user language settings – it seems the most appreciated feature in multilingual communities. But is it possible to share some concept – what will it look like and how will itl be integrated with WP internationalization?
I’m asking because I’m developing a plugin that provide this language setting functionality for registered users… and despite that my code is not as nearly perfect as yours I’d be happy to help somehow or al least I’d like to know that my own work is not going in completely wrong direction… thanks in advance
@MrMaz
Installed in a snap and it works perfectly.. well, almost. I found only one, very minor bug.
After creating 6 links (5 from YouTube and 1 ppt file on my server), I created a link to an mp3 file on my server, opened the link in a new window using Quicktime, closed that window and went to view the links in my profile.
I could find only the mp3 regardless of the filter used. While the Links tab in my profile showed (7), the counter below the My Links title showed “Viewing 1 to 1 (of 1 link)”.
In order to see all links in my profile after linking the mp3, it was necessary to go back to the Links Directory and select one from there. Then all 7 were visible.
Like I say, it’s minor as I don’t think many people (if any!) are going to link to individual mp3s hosted on external sites. (But I wanted to test it anyway.)
Login to your WPMU backend, navigate to “Buddypress > General settings”.
Go to “Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?” And select “Yes”.
Of course – thanks

Thanks Andy, looking really forward to it! As I have mentioned before – I like it very much as it is now (without a pointless extra tab) – but it doesn’t pull acitvity without visiting the admin-area and push the button (same stuff with some other issues on the twitter-plugin)
See my older thread with more detail here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/external-group-blogs-group-twitter-doesnt-work
Now trying Posthaste again. Removing that line removed the post form from all the loops, but putting this line in the template files does nothing:
<?php if(function_exists(posthasteForm)) { posthasteForm(); } ?>
I tried in several files, including regular blog index.php files. Also tried this:
<? posthasteForm(); ?>
Still nothing… And if I leave the add_action(‘loop_start’… and just use the form, nothing gets posted, not even on the main/default blog.
I think I’m closer to a solution with P2, if somebody can help me figure out how to use the P2 post-form from a page that is not the regular index.php of the blog.
Is there an example of that in Buddypress version 1.2?
Bewst: Buddymatic hasn’t been updated for 1.2 yet, so any errors are likely due to that. Give the kind theme developers a little time, it’ll be updated very shortly, at which time you can download a new version that should work just fine. (I know ’cause I’ve been pestering them myself!)
I am using buddypress 1.2 now, but I still can’t seem to find away to fix this.
I just want it to display ALL the users on the site, instead it keeps only displaying the friends of the user you are currently viewing.
Hi,
thanks for the link. I hadn’t found those plugins before, because I was looking for a plugin specifically for BuddyPress.
And most of those plugins do only redirect upon login through the original form, however they do not redirect when manually adding the “/wp-admin/” to the URL after being logged in. However, I was able to solve that with a custom filter hook, that checks if the visitor has admin rights in “admin_init”.
Regards,
Tobias
Hi Paul,
The full code is in this (small) plugin here:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-activity-stream-subscription/
The url is created with the following code:
class Group_Activity_Subscription extends BP_Group_Extension {
function group_activity_subscription() {
global $bp;
$this->name = 'Notifications';
$this->slug = 'notifications';
// Only enable the notifications nav item if the user is a member of the group
if ( groups_is_user_member( $bp->loggedin_user->id , $bp->groups->current_group->id ) ) {
$this->enable_nav_item = true;
} else {
$this->enable_nav_item = false;
}
$this->nav_item_position = 91;
$this->enable_create_step = false;
$this->enable_edit_item = false;
add_action ( 'wp_print_styles' , array( &$this , 'add_settings_stylesheet' ) );
}
She can just add that to her existing WP theme, actually.
Having worked with that theme before, you’ll also have to modify the html in the buddypress templates that were added to your theme folder.
For thsoe who didn’t go look, she’s added BP to an exisiting WP install and is adapting her current template.
Roger — MrMaz has the solution to that over here.
EDIT: this is for the default BP theme not a custom WP to BP conversion
plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css
but if you upgrade BP stuff you add to the default css will get removed.
It is better to create a child theme that has a blank css file and then put overrides there.
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
I have updated my buddypress from plugin page and everyting works
Of the main template or Buddypress? (Sorry I’m a bit slow)
Actually, you need to delete the old buddypress folder and then install it. Do not overwrite or you may run into problems.

MrMaz, could you remind us where to find the latest download link? Thank you.
here’s what you need to do. go buy arrowchat when it comes out. Comet Chat’s support and documentation is crap. Worthless.
