Thank you for your reply, I believe that’s only if I’m using the buddypress default theme though; I am not. It goes on to say “If you are not using the BuddyPress default theme, you have to insert the BP Profile Search form somewhere in your theme Members page”. I have no such page. I have tried just creating a page and inserting the code ”. This didn’t work of course. Any thoughts?
Greetings!
Lately i’ve been looking around for a proper way to SEO my buddypress community.
It appears that the default template doesn’t cover this feature very well – and that leaves me at this point.
I’m in need of some way to give my profiles & groups SEO – so that any user would be able to write his own meta description for example.
Is it possible, or am i shooting blanks here?
The obvious plugins such as SEOpress doesn’t seem to work with the newest version of buddypress yet, and i don’t really know if it actually can do what i mentioned above.
Thanks for your time.

i am also looking for the answer to this…. when comments are made to a forum topic i need to be notified as well as anyone else in the comment thread…… wouldn;t make sense to have to go back into the forum all the time to see if anyone made a comment….. or am I being ignorant?
Hope someone can help.

Thanks very much for this – haven’t tried it yet but am about to.
But what I think is really needed is simply the option for the group admin to choose the default tab – as part of the group settings.
I wil have several groups that will need different defaults. Can your code accommodate that in some way?
Who is up to writing a plug-in to do that? Not me I’m afraid..!
I also agree that Home should be changed to Activity.
I’ve just published a tutorial about setting up a CDN with Total Cache and MaxCDN. It does wonders for me, and takes care of the parallel loading and serving of your static files through a CDN:
http://bp-tricks.com/featured/the-perfect-cdn-setup-for-buddypress-using-maxcdn-and-w3-total-cache/#comment-174097306
tried w3 total cache on localhost, don’t know how for others, but for my non english installation it caches/saves page text as unknown symbols.
Edit: had to disable page cache and now it works fine, I think so, at least nothing goes wrong.
Im getting a group duplication problem as well when sending invites at the final stage of creating a group? Can anyone shed some light on why this may be happening? Im running wordpress 3.0.2 with buddypress 1.2.6
if you’re on an Mu install you’l have to log in as a super admin and access their admin areas individually for each blog. Although thsi is a buddypress forum so perhaps you want to ask the question on the wordpress forums.
Hi I would like to delete some of the default categories users have on their site (Groups, etc)
How do I do this?
Thanks
Hi I have installed BuddyPress and would like to remove some of the categories, so there is no categories/sections like Groups, etc.
How do I do this?
Thanks
I’m going to try my best to explain my question, so please bare with we here. Before I upgraded to WP 3.1, the BP sidebar menu had a link to show you all your site’s members. This was a much more friendly view of the information than what is/was available on the Users sidebar menu (and in fact the two numbers didn’t actually match up). Now with the update to 3.1 that is gone. I have looked in the Network Admin section of WP 3.1 but can’t seem to find that data. I am running BP 1.2.8
Did this go away? Will it ever come back?
Thanks
@Reezo, @Dimensionmedia:
Thanks guys… sorry for taking such a long time to update on this. Ended up having to work on some other projects. I’ve managed to get the custom avatar generator to function okay now, and have a live project that uses it (http://school.ocdaction.org.uk/), but I need to tidy up the code a little. At the moment I’m having to plug the wordpress avatar function (get_avatar) and use that for my rendering duties. What I’d like to happen is for the bp dev team to make their bp_core_fetch_avatar pluggable, as it doesnt really have much scope for extending in its current state. Maybe I’m wrong, but if someone has more knowledge of how to alter bp_core_fetch_avatar for my needs then that would be awesome. I did think of filtering, but one aspect of bp_core_fetch_avatar I don’t particulary see the need of is that it pushes the final img url through http://www.gravatar.com, which in my opinion is a wasted resource, as this plugin would only read directly off the parts folder when it generates an avatar, and then loads from a cache dir.
Welcome any thoughts on this.
Hey guys, I’m looking at integrating Buddypress to an existing site that uses Wishlist Member and I’m hoping to hear that you’ve tried it and all is fine. Looking forward to hearing great news!!
It really does work with multisite. The component loops will work on subdomains but I think it’ll be a ton of trouble to get the full component features working on a subdomains especially groups. I think I have seen some threads about putting members on a subdomain you might try there.
@WWDay3
Cool, I’m glad it worked out
How about creating a link to showcase your site at http://buddylite.com/links
Ok, I thought it could also be done in the backend. The groups function is enabled. Just have activated the default theme and here it works. I am developing my own theme so i don’t want to shred this. Maybe some code is missing… All Buddypress templates are implemented thus the error MUST be in my theme’s templates. It’s not the functions.php, already have checked it.
thank you mercime for replying. its the ajax.php that is the problem. this is the error that i get
‘Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /…./public_html/chill/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php:553) in /…./public_html/chill/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-messages.php on line 556’. i have already checked the above link.
line 553 in ajax.php is this below line code:
‘echo bp_core_fetch_avatar(array(‘item_id’ =>$user_id,’type’=>’thumb’,’width’=>15,’height’ =>15)).’ ’.bp_core_get_user_displayname($user_id).’(‘.$username.’)’;
} ‘

Does buddypress really work easily with MultiSite Network?
if yes, how can I make the component pages to work on a subdomain site which is actually a subsite of my MU network?
on any buddypress pages I go, it says “sorry no posts were found”
Please help.
please tell me how you sync both sites to the same account?
Sidenote: edited the server directory paths, on a public site it’s best not to show full directory set up.
Installing WordPress in a directory with the same name as one of BuddyPress’ components will break things; it’s a known issue.
== could it be that the root of my bp install is in a subdomain called ‘members’? ==
Your BP/WP is not in a subdomain but rather in either a physical subdirectory or a virtual subdirectory named members. So no, not likely a problem caused by the structure.
1. Just to clarify,
a) you installed WP http://chcalgary.ca/ and then created a network with virtual sub-directory structure. One of sub-directories is http://chcalgary.ca/members , which is where you pointed BuddyPress?
or
b) you installed WP in http://chcalgary.ca/ and then created a physical sub-directory named members and installed another WP there with BP plugin activated?
2. Looks like mod_rewrite is enabled because this URL shows up correctly http://chcalgary.ca/members/category/uncategorized/ so that means you have pretty permalinks. No problem here.
3. Check that your .htaccess file is correct for either WP in physical subdirectory if structure is 1.b. above or in WP in domain root if structure is 1.a. above
4. Check your apache config if directory configured to enable “Options FollowSymLinks” & “AllowOverride All”
Is it just me? I get no notifications at all, and it’s really frustrating trying to track down posts I have made etc.,.. looking for replies.
Anyone else get this? Fix? Patch? Straight jacket?
