Hi,
Had a search through the forums but couldn’t find a solution to my problem.
I want to be able to include the entire buddypress registration form either via the sidebar.php template or even a widget. Has anyone been able to do this? is there a solution available?
Is there a way of turning the current BuddyPress/ bbPress forum into a proper forum?
By that I mean similar to the phpBB forums, or even like the default bbPress forums. A way of having separate forums for different things, and not restricting them to public groups only.
@bowromir Thanks for your help, although I tried this and its not working?
@ghostrose333 BP/WP versions?
– Change theme to bp-default and deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress. See if same behavior applies.
– Did you go to dashboard > BuddyPress > Forums Setup and install the forum?
– Check your database if tables for forums were created.
@miklamx Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change theme to bp-default.
You’ll need to turn off debug mode; buddypress prints lots of those at the minute and probably breaks itself. I’m not sure why the menu isn’t appearing.
I’m fairly new to WP as a platform but I’m pretty sure I can install a plugin like BuddyPress, right now I have the default WP theme installed and wanted to setup BP. The problem is as soon as I go to activate after installation I get this:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /mounted-storage/home59c/sub007/sc37816-TACW/www/wp-admin/includes/theme.php on line 159
Not sure how I can have any issues as I have no Plugins activated and its a new install of WP, Should I have BuddyPress Template Pack installed first, before activation? I didn’t think this would matter at all, Either way I believe I tried it both ways yet I’m still getting a line error. What am I missing here? Seemed extremely easy to me, I also tried to manually upload to my file manager and I still get an error.
Thanks In Advance, 
James
@boonebgorges I’m using bp in Japanese. Anyway, thanks for the info. If possible, I’ll modify the function not to post any content to activities, but notification.
I should also point out that I get a few notices in debug mode, which might be normal, and that cron jobs don’t appear to be firing on this site:

I’m having the same issue as well. Not sure when it appeared though.
@r-a-y I second everything. Thanks 
If someone puts together a good patch, there’s no reason — at this moment in time — why it couldn’t be put in. It’s just of the 50-odd tickets currently in 1.3, and with three core developers, we only have so much time. Because we haven’t started on it, it would be a pretty big change at this stage of the release cycle and so is not a development priority. Patches welcome however 
Looks like there should be filters in bp_update_is_item_admin() that you could use to sort of hack in roles or custom permissions maybe
The wp-reCAPTCHA plugin is marked as broken! Please fix asap
Gotcha. I was thinking of a color-picker ala twitter. Of course most would probably use images anyway. Sounds great @r-a-y
@djpaul I saw you all moved the roles adaption to BP back to 1.4 in the trac.
Is there any quick fix to give somebody the ability to edit all groups/activity yet not make them an admin? This is the biggest issue for us. We need a way to make a couple of users moderate everything as well as be able to edit activity items, etc.
I don’t think so, because BuddyPress doesn’t make use of WordPress roles or capabilities yet
Hi,
I would like to know if there is a plugin which can manage roles in BuddyPress (creating groups, writing on group’s wall)
Thanks in advance.

Now that BuddyPress runs on WordPress in single blog mode… what do people think about running BuddyPress on a shared host in single blog mode with a community of maybe 175 members. Again… there would just be the ONE parent blog. No sub-blogs.
@r-a-y thanks…I’ve been doing alot of display:none! Lately.
I’m trying to get my forums working correctly with memcached/batcache. This caching solution should be great because it is not supposed to serve cached pages where logged-in cookies are present. In fact, this may not be a caching issue at all. When I view the source of an offending forum thread, there is no batcache reference in the header.
Here’s what happens:
If I respond in to a forum thread, that response doesn’t show up. The thread will say that there are 3 replies, but only 2 show.
Worse, if I go to the Group Forum Directory, the “Latest Poster” field is messed up. Some are blank. Some have the name of the latest poster, but the avatar of the previous one. Worse, still, the Group disappears and the permalink of the thread changes from:
http://housingstorm.com/groups/support/forum/topic/subscribe-by-email-support/#post-231
to
http://housingstorm.com/forums//forum/topic/subscribe-by-email-support/ – which is nonsense and doesn’t work.
http://housingstorm.com/forums

Blog comments work great and all other Buddypress functions work perfectly – messaging, wire-posting, replies, following, etc.
My assumption at this point is that, withing advanced-cache.php, Batcache is re-writing permalinks. Does anyone out there have any experience with this? I’m needing some professional help here and happy to pay for some time if anyone can help.
Thank you!
There’s something like that already. Just needs to be updated https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-badge/
WP/BP versions? Have you deactivated all plugins except BuddyPress and changed to bp-default theme to see this is not a plugin/theme conflict?
Hello,
I am working with BuddyPress Default 1.2.7. I would like to have a home page looking as a newspaper. To do this, i wolud like to have two columns in the homepage (with the sidebar it will be 3 columns). I will have my main post in the left colum, and secondary and shorter posts in the right column…is this possible?
(It wolud be something like Citizen Kane theme)
Thanks!
