You’ll have to create that TOS page yourself. It’ll be a normal WP page. Then you can exclude that page like this:
`is_page(23)`
23 in this case is the id of the page, so substitute with the proper id. You can use the page slug as well instead of the id.
@Travel-Junkie
I absolutely adore this code you’ve posted. It’s clean and easy to install, and there’s no extraneous junk that needs to be done. A simple copy/paste does the trick amazingly well for me.
But here’s a question:
I know that
`if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )’
is where I add slugs that make particular pages available to the public.
I’m also using the bp-xtra-signup, which I think you contributed to. On my registration page, there’s a checkbox to check that says one agrees to the site TOS, but one has to open a link to see the TOS. When that link is clicked, it redirects to the front page of the site that logged out users are redirected to.
I’m wondering two things: (1) I haven’t made a TOS page, so where is it? Does one come with that plugin? (Cause I have yet to find it. LOL) and (2) Where do I get that slug to add to the visible pages code line?
Thanks!

Hello r-a-y,
I tried removing all the files and uploading them again. The error is shown after I click activate. Nothing happens after that. I haven’t changed anything on a .htaccess file, is there something I need to change? Thanks for your help
@alierkurt / @hnla
could you tell me what file needs to be edited for this?
Tried both codes, but not getting the results expected.
Different theme. I’m not supporting widget theme any longer. I may make columns into a custom theme.
Put it into your bp-custom.php, and there ya go!
Although it hasn’t been updated to work in the latest versions on buddypress, so I am not guaranteeing that it will work.
Create a new file called page-full.php (or any other name you prefer). Then paste the following code in that file. The only differences between this and the “regular” page.php is that the call to the sidebar has been removed, and “div class=padder” has been changed to “div class=full-padder”.
`<?php
/*
Template Name: Full-Width Page
*/
?>
<div class="post" id="post-“>
<?php the_content( __( '
Read the rest of this page ?
‘, ‘buddypress’ ) ); ?>
__( ‘
Pages: ‘, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘after’ => ‘
‘, ‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’)); ?>
<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit this entry.', 'buddypress' ), '
‘, ‘
‘); ?>
`
Then add this to your child-theme’s style.css file:
`div#content .full-padder {margin:0;padding:19px;}`
When you create a page in WordPress, you’ll see your new template is available in the “Page Attributes” Template dropdown.
@Chaotic_Cannon, I believe @hnla meant that you could continue the thread here instead of the wp forum as @mercime frequents this forum as well as the wp forum, and this is a more suitable place to talk about your questions related to buddypress. It would be easier for mercime and all involved in this thread to follow the conversation.
No reason to get defensive.
When you say you like the other forum plugins better, is that because buddypress forums are tied to groups? If so, you may want to check out this plugin which makes the forums standalone ala vbulletin (“normal forums”) etc:
http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-global-sitewide-forums-plugin-for-buddypress/ For a demo, check out the sites forum.
Other then that it is possible to integrate the max theme with bp template pack. You could have your friend check that out.
Buddypress is more advanced than e.g. wp-symposium, but it is not really an out-of-the-box solution. Most likely you need help from a coder friend or you´d need to hire some to help with your customizations.
@modemlooper: hi is “citizen kane” the continuation theme of “widget theme” or “bp columns” or a combination or just a complete new one?
thanks for illumination 
best regards roman
I’m a newbie to BuddyPress so please forgive this post if it has been answered before. I searched and could not find the answer i was looking for… I have restricted my BP group creation with a plugin, but need to go a bit further before going live with the site. I need to create several main site groups, and, under each main site group, a few subgroups. I’ve seen a few plugins and code edits to facilitate this, but I need the Groups Directory to list only the main (first-level) groups, not the subgroups. I would like a user to click on the Groups Directory tab and see only a listing of the main (first-level) groups. When they click on one of these main groups, they should then see the subgroups listed under that main group. Any ideas??? Thank you for any assistance!!!

Hi – I would like to know how to make a page template like that please.
I’m trying to do this as well. I’m very familiar with Wishlist, and how to protect pages. But since the “pages” created by BuddyPress are not true WP “pages,” I can’t find any way to protect them…Has anyone had luck with this?
Hi, I tried installing buddypress on my site, which is run on a subdomain and via an https connection (long and boring story) and when I activate the plugin it throws me up the following error
Warning: realpath() [function.realpath]: Unable to access /var/www/vhosts/xxxxxx.com/subdomains/brainstrust/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads in /var/www/vhosts/xxxxx.com/subdomains/brainstrust/httpsdocs/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2058
the difference appears to be that the script is trying to access httpdocs when the files are in https docs – can anyone advise how I work around this? The site is useless without buddypress and it’s driving me a bit mental trying to get it to work.
Thanks heaps in advance!
Dee
I would definitely love to see this plugin too. Thanks @elgunvo !
Dear Friends, Im running a forum in my Buddypress but I see that users can change the title of topics, and I need to know if there are an option to restrict it?
Regards and thanks for your help

Hi all,
I’ll be releasing the theme used on http://bp-theme-converts.com on Friday.
If you have any suggestions or want any plugins supported, please leave them here or in the comments on http://bp-theme-converts.com/2011/02/prototype-bp-a-buddypress-theme-framework/
Once released, it will be the parent theme for all future BuddyPress themes I release.
It comes with 6 layout options, 3 WordPress 3.x menu areas, multiple widget areas, breadcrumbs & unified search.
If you spot any issues, let me know.
BuddyPress doesn’t have defined functions for `username_exists()` and `email_exists()`? I’m getting undefined errors for these…
If it doesn’t, then I’m guessing I need to create one that searches through the user database…
I have 2 blogs on a fresh WP Multisite installed, with buddypress in both blogs, but with a secondary blog called community as primary for buddypress.
All is perfect, except for a hard issue with group forums, the path http://www.domain.com/community/forums redirects me to http://www.domain.com/community
I dunno what to do, sincerely
Hi,
I’m running buddypress (default theme) with the plugin secure invites. Every time somebody posts an update i get the following error:
`Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /var/www/vhosts/istedia.de/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php:142) in /var/www/vhosts/istedia.de/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-mu-secure-invites/secure_invite.php on line 242`
I asked Chris Taylor, the author of secure invites and I got the following response:
`Hi. Looks like BuddyPress is outputting content before it should be (or that’s what the error message looks like). The session is started by Secure Invites in the ”init” event of WordPress, so anything outputting headers there is almost certainly wrong. Perhaps you could contact the BuddyPress guys to see what’s happening on bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php:142`
I looked into ajax.php myself, but I have just a basic knowledge of php and I can’t see what exactly is going on – just that some registered actions were called.
Hopefully somebody here can help me out!
Best regards!
Thomas
There is already a wp plugin that allows sites to connect user accounts across domains. Doesn’t use BP xprofile though.
since topic re group avatar was closed, start new one for single avatar.
if you want to change default avatar, below is a link to the code by travel-junkie:
