Deactivate “Suffusion BuddyPress Pack” plugin if you haven’t yet.
Also, why did you have to “re-install” the bp-default folder into bp-themes folder, or do you mean you re-uploaded bp-default theme to wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/ ?
If you can’t get to the dashboard – rename the buddypress plugin navigate to the dashboard /wp-admin/ – login – go to themes ensure that a /the WP default theme is selected check the site and confirm before doing anything that WP is running correctly (check things such as permalinks are functioning correctly) if all is good rename BP to correct name navigate to plugins – activate BP and select the bp-default theme check once more that the site now running BP is looking correct.
I have removed the suffusion theme folder, which was installed in the wp-themes folder and re-installed the bp-default folder into the bp-themes folder and now I am getting a plain white screen when I login. There is nothing. I cannot even see the main page. Do I have to re-install the whole buddypress plugin or is it now an issue with the wordpress files since Suffusion was installed as a WordPress theme?
I am not going to use that plugin, I have markitup now running on the textareas through my database, with no plugin through a clean install following this guide: http://etivite.com/groups/buddypress/forum/topic/quick-tip-adding-markitup-to-group-forum-textareas/#topic
That plugin has corrupt jquery problems.
You will have to branch the facebook login with buddypress first, you can do this through a plugin.
Than you would take do action hook from the plugin and place it in the admin bar, 2 choices of doing so, in bp-core, or bp-custom
Hello, I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure these problems out, it’s really weird if you ask me.
What is happening, is certain items that are supposed to appear aren’t being recorded in the activity stream, such as:
“%user% and %user% are now friends”
^^This will appear usually, but I have noticed on new users, it is not visible to all members, except if you are the profile owner, and is logged in, but on the other profile he is friends with it will appear, weird.
That is the main problem, but I have noticed that some others just randomly decide not to appear!!! It’s so annoying!!!
Here is the exact list of plugins I am using: http://pastebin.com/Lw4JvZ5T
I have de-activated all related to buddypress, but still no luck!!
I am using buddypress 1.2.7 with wordpress 3.5
I am using this hack: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/using-activity-as-wire-in-buddypress-1-2-themes/, but I put that in awhile ago, and this popped up recently.
I test deleted my bp-custom.php file, nothing changed.
Help would be awesome!

1) s2member. You’ll likely need to download the zip and upload to your site via ftp ‘cuz it’s a huge plugin.

2) Buddypress includes a private messaging system (kinda like internal email) but there are a few chat plugins available too. See this post:

Hope this helps! 
Hello,
I’m somewhat new to buddypress and html in general. I’m interested in placing a “Login with facebook” button on my admin bar. I’d like it to be next to the “sign up” or “login” button on my website when users first arrive. I’ve been searching around for days trying to figure this out, but can’t seem to find if this is possible. I’ve read about adding some custom bp php file to the plugin directory but don’t know what to do from there. I appreciate any help!
Sorry….my website is http://www.naidw.org and the code that I’m using to add the button is javascript. I can paste that on here if helpful.
This isn’t possible with activity updates without considerable changes.the plugin BP media may allow media uploading when posting status updates. It’s a highly requested feature.
suffusion doesn’t use the BP template pack plugin as it has it’s own: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/suffusion-buddypress-pack/
I think I found my solution.
Private BuddyPress is the plugin. Sorry.
I had some great help from the developer of the plugin (over here: http://online-source.net/2010/10/24/markitup-html-set-for-wordpress) who made some tweaks and I now have this working on my buddypress site
@boonebgorges Thank you very much for your help. I looked for days to get a working solution, but couldn’t get it work like you did!
HI
1, Where do I get the BP Template Pack Plugin? Do I install the Template Pack Plugin through the FTP.
2. The theme showed up when I searched for BuddyPress and it was called Suffusion theme by Sayontan Sinha. It will not let me into Dashboard to reset the theme. Is there a themes folder I can remove by FTP and reset to default?
Thanks!
No I don’t think so. I have this problem for my site but I don’t have buddystream. The reply for forum will cause this problem
@txs
Or maybe I can add categories for each user and set categories to show up in their activy
I want something like soup.io
@txs
I want to let every member have their own Tumblelog, and activity can only let them post some text information
I find some in wordpress but they use theme as the standalone wordpress, I can create blogs per user but it seems
wasting a lot of database.
I just want the user to have to post and manage their creation. Maybe I can use groups, but also can I sperate groups into
[personal], [club], and [project]
How do community like buddypress.org sperate plugin and themes under expend?
thanks
@txs
@Bigjimmysisco I do not use the arras nor brownbuddy theme. I would rather roll out a bp-default child theme theme similar to Arras than take too much time to decipher all the theme’s intricacies, not that I’m going to at this time. The light at the end of the tunnel for you is that come BP 1.3, BP components will be rendered in regular Pages so hopefully lessen or eliminate any conflict.
I have long been using the BuddyPress Block Activity Stream Types plugin. What you show on the last line is what I need right now. And it’s works.
Thanks alot, @nahummadrid
Yes, I would like to see this kind of feature too please? Just been fruitlessly searching around the web for visualisation tools for my users. Such things seem to exist for Twitter as pointed out but not Buddypress. There are also tools like Graphviz and its associated plugin for WordPress but they are not dynamic and look obtuse! I imagine a front end where avatars are linked by ‘edges’ in a graph (in the mathematical sense) with the colour or width of an edge depicting the strength of user’s ‘friendliness’, i.e. based on a tally of mentions for instance? Taking it a step further by clicking on the avatar one produces a further graph showing their contributions around Buddypress (though this is less important). Thanks for the discussion. I thought I was on my own here!
SO can we fix it or not???
@mercime, @gunju2221?
@t.sjogren
You saved the day for me! Thank you !!
In the BuddyPress plugin there is a folder bp-themes. In this folder is the default BuddyPress theme. The reason to use a child theme is to not edit these files making upgrades as easy as a few clicks.
A child theme is a WordPress theme that has a parent. The child theme gets all it’s files from the parent. If you want to override a file then you copy the file and folder structure over to the child theme.
Example: say you want to ad something to the header. instead of going into the BP plugin folder and changing something you would copy the header.php over to the child theme and edit it. Since it’s a child theme it will override the same file in the bp-default folder.
Read this on how to create a child theme. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
Another issue is if you are not using a BP enabled theme then you will have to use the BuddyPress template pack to get the corresponding files and functions working on a standard WordPress theme.
In an effort to migrate a bunch of avatars into BuddyPress I need to change:
/wp-content/uploads/avatars/$user-id
to
/wp-content/uploads/avatars/$user-name
That is… currently the folder names are taken from the user’s id. I would like the folder’s name to be taken from the user’s name.
Does anyone have any direction to give on this?
