Yeah, it only works on the main site because of a decision made by Andy Peatling a long time ago. There’s a lengthy trac ticket. Next time I come across it, we’ll see if it is an easy change.
I do have this linein my wp-config and it works fine. And I need it (by the way, the good thing is that any “non bp” theme on sub site works just fine without any problem)
My problem is just as i told, the registration link which does not work. The link in subsites is subsite.com/register. I’d like it to disply the registration page but it does not. I dont want the registration on the main site 
If anyone would be so kind as to offer a possible solution, I would be very grateful.
I’m receiving this message when trying to activate the plug in. I’m using the latest version of wordpress. Any advice?

3 come to mind right off the bat:
Comet Chat seems to work out of the box on BP, but it comes with a pricetag: http://www.cometchat.com/buy
Bowob Chat has both free and premium versions, but the free one comes with ads: http://buddypress.bowob.com/
And then there’s Brajesh’s BP-Chat, but it’s still being developed: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/bp-chat-a-facebook-like-chatting-plugin-for-buddypress/
Thanks for the reply modemlooper. That got us halfway there. There is now a very small popup when you mouse over the thumbnail, but still not the nice styled box that should be there (which you can view in the demo theme).
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Hello, what plugin do you recommend to enable recaptcha in my buddypress registration form?
I tested the official recaptcha plugin for wp, but don’t work in buddypress.
Thank you
Though not necessarily a BP thing I am looking for a good chat script. I have tried a few and decided to BuddyPress Chat Component but it is shutting down rather frequently and giving 503 errors. Is this due to the script or maybe server / CPU issues? Either way, do any of you use other chat scripts and what has been your experience?
@r-a-y Thanks for the suggestion. But did not work; and probably because the regular BP Activity Stream is not the home page for this theme.
Thanks! but looks very difficult for me :S
But, if the official buddypress website use this feature, why don’t share it? how have they done it?
Environment: Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP
WordPress 3.0.4.
BuddyPress Version 1.2.7
====================
I have an extended profile with 5 groups of information fields. If a user is created in the admin or in the signup page, they are able to go to their profile, and click the “edit profile” link which points to http://www.domain.com/members/username/profile/edit and it WILL redirect automatically to http://www.domain.com/members/username/profile/edit/group/1 and allow for normal editing.
The problem is this: I have imported 3800 users into the database directly with what I believe is all the proper fields filled in, but when those users try to click on “EDIT PROFILE” the redirect to http://www.domain.com/members/username/profile/edit/group/1 doesn’t work and it sends them to the home page.
You should be able to do something similar by modifying the template. Check out the link I posted above.
If you need your group admins to set the screenshots, etc, you’ll also need to create a group plugin for this:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/
but buddypress plugin area use it, and it look like a plugin implement.
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bc-maps/
here you can se it. A frontpage with description, screenshoots… is a fundamental feature for my project and i cant’t find nothing to resolve it.
I’ve thought mixing bp-album + bp-wiki :S hehe
thanks for reply
This might not apply to you, but If you’re using the BP activity stream as the front page, you’d have to use a BuddyPress-specific function:
`bp_is_front_page()`
Yeah, I know it’s not really intuitive in BP 1.2 as the settings pages piggyback off the plugins template.
BP v1.3 will fix this with dedicated template files specifically for the settings pages:
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/settings
nahummadrid has the right idea.
The skeleton component is a plugin example to send a user a “high-five” to another user:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/
It might not work, but give it a shot.
See if in the file jquery.qtip.style.js in the code shown below change $ to jquery. Might be a conflict.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(‘#subfeatures li a[title]’).qtip({
show: ‘mouseover’,
hide: ‘mouseout’,
position: {
corner: {
target: ‘topMiddle’,
tooltip: ‘topMiddle’,
},
adjust: {
x: 0, y: -40
}
},
style: {
width: 180,
padding: 5,
background: ‘#434240’,
color: ‘#f2efe8’,
textAlign: ‘center’,
border: {
width: 5,
radius: 5,
color: ‘#434240’
},
tip: ‘bottomMiddle’,
name: ‘dark’
}
})
});
I have a completely different problem … CAPTCHA on comments appears fine. It is not appearing on the registration page: http://www.xbox-arena.com/register
@hnla I know that there will be a segment of the population who will be prevented from joining because I am blocking IP addresses. But, I want/need these prevented in the first place and I do not understand why this is not addressed in the core and has to be something I must “hunt through the forum threads to reducing spam signups”. Its not like this is an unknown issue.
Besides, I HAVE searched for “reduce spambots” “reduce fake sign ups” “Reduce and reducing spam sign ups” with zero results.
In my community, I would like to have users enter their real names, but have first and last names in separate fields. The “BuddyPress Real Names” plugin works for this in general, but unfortunately requires the users to enter three names (full name, first name, last name) on the registration form.
I modified the register.php to omit the “full name” field, but this breaks the submission since full name is a required core field. Would it be possible to generate the content of the full name field from the first and last name fields in my registration form automatically on submission before the data is submitted to the database?
Does anyone have a hint for me, how and where I should do this?
In the green bar under the main slider area on the home page, there are thumbnails for “sub-featured” posts. You are supposed to be able to hover over it to see the title. When buddypress template pack is enabled, this no longer works. Our URL is: http://northernidahotravel.com/. You can see how it works in the theme demo here: http://themeforest.net/item/wave-a-video-centric-theme-for-wordpress/full_screen_preview/45855
Any help would be appreciated.
