Hello,
I’m having a new buddypress site with some friends (yocom.nl) and we are in a far stadium now but we miss some important things. Can you help us with any of these things?
– We want an option to insert smilies, images, spoilers etc in the forum messages? A toolbar would be nice.
– Is there an option that if you are in the forum index, you can go straight to the last page of a topic?
– Is there an option that you can see the recent topics (with the latest messages) in the sidebar?
– Can the administrators (in Dutch we are the ‘beheerders’) having a different name color or bold?
Thanks already for your help 
I use the defalt search box, I can search members and groups , but a forum search is empty, even my search word is copy the topic’s title or a word in the content. How to search group forum topics? I want make a search for the title or content of the forum which created in groups.
Where can I edit the serch box? Is the file `wordpresswp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-themesbp-defaultsearch.php` ? And how to edit?
thanks.
As I don’t really like BBPress and I’m only going to wait for BP1.3 for me the only problem is to merge a Forum with Buddypress (Profiles, Activity Stream…)
I found Vanilla (wich, honestly, at the first moment I didn’t like it either). But with days, I’ve found that it is a very nice forum system.
So I would want to merge Buddypress with Vanilla forums. There are lots of tutorials of how to do it with WPMU and it’s easy, but what I want is to have same profiles, and activity merged.
It’s a way? Someone has done it?
Thanks @dwenaus. This code is great!
Exactly what i looked for!!!
Hi Zack,
Did you manage to straighten out the funky results? I’m trying to get use the Theme My Login plugin with Buddypress, with no luck thus far. Thanks!
@Andrea_r, can `activity stream` add a `Favorite` counter? that the post owner can see how many peaple mark a Favorite in his post article?
Hi,
I have an as yet unused new install of WP, BuddyPress, GenesisConnect, and BP Album Plus and Group Documents. When I click the documents link, it just takes me to the home page:

Quick fix?
Best,

I’m very new to Buddypress and to WordPress. I’m having a similar difficulty with profiles, groups, forums etc… links all redirecting back to the homepage. I had just loaded the great Suffusion theme, which i love, but will now try to go back to default to see if i can trace the problem. I would welcome any ideas.
Hey all!
The wordpress plugin i was using is apparently not compatible with buddypress. Does anyone else have a plugin that they use for that purpose they would recommend?

@thealchemist does that include a counter with “You’ve been poked 20 times, teased 23 times, kissed 100 times and the like? 
thanks guys! i’ve already installed buddypress and bbpress is running through it. i tried to install bbpress by itself using the old sql database first…. and something about it wasnt working, so that is how i ended up over at buddypress which i like better anyway honestly. i’m a bit of a newbie, so i’m afraid if i try option b i might mess something up and make my site implode 
going to try using the phpmyadmin as suggested above and even if it takes awhile i don’t mind, i just have some things in those posts that weren’t copied anywhere else before my old host disappeared.
@VirtualityReiki I would do this in test installation, uploading copies of your server files and importing database of your bbPress install.
Assuming your bbPresss is in subdirectory, http://example.com/forums/, install WP at domain root using the same database as your bbPress install. Install and activate BuddyPress. Then follow this: https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/using-an-existing-bbpress-installation/ where you point to the bb-config.php file in http://example.com/forums/. Note that in this scenario, creating forum topics will have to be through BP Groups.
You can also do it the other way noted in the codex article, but the integration is not quite that easy
I remember going through 28 steps or so for an external forum integration pre-BP1.2. In addition, bbPress is being converted into a WP plugin which will work well with BP sometime this year so there’s hope that there’ll be a “switch” so that forums won’t be dependent on BP Groups component.
hello buddypress gurus, can someone please tell me how to make child page show as a drop down when you roll mouse over their parent, i am using k9 avenue theme. when i create a new page and add it as a subpage of a page, it will not show up at all on my website:

thanks in advance for your help
The time/date format on my blog posts no longer match up with what they once were in wordpress after the installation of buddypress… before each post I get:
6:41 pm in Uncategorized by admin
which i would like to change to just say…. “Month Day, Year” if possible. Any ideas of where to look to replace this code? I know where it would be in wordpress, but i’m afraid of messing things up for the entire site as I’m not fully familiar with buddypress yet.
@mercime
Layout looks a bit b0rked? http://bpthemes.buddydev.com/bpmag/classic/members/sbrajesh/blogs/
Other then that… yeah looks pretty good, will look into it 
Thats why your permalinks arn’t working correctly.
Read through this:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
I am testing it, but there are not updates pulled from twitter. Is it because I am testing it on local host?

@envira Go into your database, where you host all your files. Find the file: .htaccess.
It should be in the root of your wordpress.
Scroll down to the end of the file and add this:
`LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so`
== Too bad that old theme of BuddyPress isn’t available anymore. ==
Actually, there’s a new child theme of the premium BP framework, BP Mag theme, which has the vertical navbars
