Do you have a BuddyPress menu in the admin area? Are you running multisite?
Basically, to clarify: you only need to use a BuddyPress theme on the main site where Buddypress is activated. On the user blogs, just use a regular wordpress theme.
A simple solution if you want all added sites to use same name is to type the name in the header.php title instead of calling it from database.
Hi! I have buddypress and S2Member. When I had a friend do a test ‘join’, they were brought to paypal, paid the ‘test fee’ for the join, were redirected to the buddypress registration page, filled out username, password, about me, etc, and when they clicked on the ‘complete sign up’ button, it brought them to an error page that said that the registration link appears to be broken. Does anyone have any ideas where the problem is, and how to fix this??? I would greatly appreciate any ideas. Thank you!
20 seconds to help on what? “Check link” does not tell us anything, AND this is not even an issue with buddypress!
Does it say “there was an error when creating the topic”?
Have you researched your problem on google and buddypress?
Hi. Hope I’ve made the right choice.
I have a functioning WP install for our intranet. This works.
I now need:
1. Better forum
2. Better access control to some categories (I tried “Role Manager” coupled with “Category Visibility”)
3. Maybe some social networking features
But 1 and 2 are priority.
BuddyPress came up in my searches, so I downloaded the plugin. Activated it.
Now what? Where’s the “Step by step” instructions stuff? It’s not in Plugins dropdown, nor is it in the site. What is missing?
Secondly, will it automatically enable a forum and SNS for me?
There is no listing of “Features” on this website. Just “What is BuddyPress” which has a broad set of promises that I could run a social network. Well, with what precise features? How is this different from or superior to Elgg?
Thanks for any guidance.
@luvs123, I just tried it in topic.php, I see the place your might want to add this meta is above the loop. The function need to be working inside loop.
@gunju2221 thing is Savanah Mercime is pretty experienced with BP and no doubt even more experienced with PHP 
For the php parsing engine to work you must have php tags around your script elements, common practice is to open and close those tags when needing to parse markup, or one adds one opening and one closing set and all markup in the script needs to be set as echoed strings, variables or the heredoc function called.
Likely you have a file that is using supplied snippets written by members and which for potability each have their own set of tags.
WP 2.7 !!
Upgrade! WP is on 3.04 now
After checking everything again I’ve discovered that I did not put the NOBLOGREDIRECT option in config.
Thanks for your time @r-a-y. You helped me a lot .

Oh, my bad. Sorry for misunderstanding that message output.
I am using wp 2.7, I manually upload buddypress to plugins. when I try to activate I get Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Widget’ not found in ‘/home/clood/domains/cloodles.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php on line 13’
@luvs123, you need to add the first function below the 2nd function to get the starter.
Thanks a lot for the pointers!
The important trick seems to be to grab the ‘wp’ hook, check if the current request is for the custom page and then load the content. I’m still struggling with the BuddyPress-Template-Framework (bp_core_load_template just won’t cooperate), but I think I’ll just stick with directly loading my templates via load_template() for now. Since I’m not going to distribute the code, this hopefully won’t be too much of a problem.
Thanks again!
vised all fo those, none of them work.

Modemlooper, thanks. I now understand. I can’t run a social network within a social network. That makes sense, actually. Again, thanks for the help. Antonio
I just installed buddypress on a clean,fresh wordpress install and selected the default theme.
the home url is like this: http://www.mysite.com/buddypress
when i try to use buddypress, if i choose any menu link on the main page or in the top menu in the admin panel, it all takes me to a 404 error page on the main site. help.

@r-a-y, in the mushroom kingdom, only toasters can toast toast.
When you create a new site it’s basically it’s own thing but shares user login. You can also share plugins and themes but you can’t have buddypress run on every site. BP runs on only one blog on your multisite install.
Thanks for your reply. I’m new to creating a BuddyPress network of blogs. I was under the assumption that when I create a network and then add sites, that each site would be customizable. It seems to work with wordpress’ default theme, but not BuddyPress. Is this a bug, or is there something in the initial setup for the network that I need to enable so as to have the option of customizing each individual site? Thanks in advance for any help. Antonio
Hey , i done this way and now when i go to the other member’s page it will show only profile detail with no other tab (personal,friends,groups,favorite, mentions) but for me its ok. But after i tried checking system, i found that some notification issues, like friendship , the notification will gone when click it , but right now the notification process can’t be done because we can’t go to his personal page anymore , any suggestion?
@MrNiceGuy2 unfortunately the page you linked to in first post now goes to required registration page. Looking back to your first post == How do I edit these pages!? ==
When you go through the BP Template Pack process, 13 files in 6 folders are transferred to your active WP theme and those are the files you need to revise, and not the template files in BP Template Pack itself.
I just started putting together some template packs for popular plugins to get them working seamlessly with all the features in BuddyBuilder.
So far, we have template packs for BP-Gallery and Buddypress Links, and have a suggestion for Jet Event System. Need to update the BP-Links pack to v0.5 though, hadn’t seen that update til now 
If you have a plugin in mind you think should be supported in BuddyBuilder or BuddyLite, please let me know
