While there are solutions for creating member directories, I have not come across a solutions for organization/company listings/pages where contact info can be updated. We have organizations that each have multiple members on our Buddypress site but no way to tie them to a common organization page that contains information on the organization. Creating a Buddypress Group for each organization is out of the question since we already use the groups for topics and interests. It looks like you can create a field in the profile where you can enter in a company or organization which then will list everyone with that “tag” but there is no way to add information to it nor is there a way to have common page/list of organizations that everyone can update (outside of a wiki) Anyone know of any solutions or interested in taking this on?
@boonebgorges @LPH2005 Great work on this guys,
I’m bringing up errors on file uploads after activating the extension as detailed on the mediawiki extension page:
Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/collabbo/public_html/figshare.com/figures/extensions/buddypress-activity/buddypress-activity.php on line 61

Lines 61, 68 and 75 are as follows:

Any ideas and help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Please go ahead and open a bug ticket on trac.buddypress.org with a detailed description of what you know, steps to reproduce, and a link back to this thread. You can use the same user name and password as on this site. Then I or another dev can have a look at whether there is a bug in the way that that cookie works.
Thanks!
I’ve caught wind of the spam and am away on holiday until Jan 3. I’ve pinged a few people about looking into it since I can’t directly.
Sorry. I know it sucks. One of my personal goals for the beginning of 2011 is to fix up buddypress.org so we can have some peace and quiet from spammers.
It’s being looked in to, and I’ll report back if/when there’s progress made.
You’re welcome.
P.S. Just in case you were thinking of changing the text about the blog creation in core file, you should instead change it either this way – http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/archives/2010/01/02/mangling-strings-for-fun-and-profit/ – or this way – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/
Hey look at this, Same problem that I have.
Yep, I just did the update, and so far so good. But if you are concerned, you should do a backup just in case.
The procedure suggested by @aljuk is probably as good as you’re going to get right now. For now, the WP import/export process does not recognize the majority of BP content, and there is no standalone BP import/export tool yet.
WP upgrades, especially security and maintenance releases (ie when the version number is 3.x.x rather than 3.x), are generally very unlikely to break any plugins, including BP. I’d recommend that you upgrade to maintenance releases immediately.
Feature releases, like WP 3.0 and 3.1, are somewhat more likely to cause problems with plugins like BP. But the BP core team works closely with the WP core team to ensure that BuddyPress is ready for whatever changes come along ahead of time. If there is something in BuddyPress that absolutely cannot be fixed prior to a major WP release, we’ll do our best to warn you about it before you upgrade.
Ok. Just when I was comfortable with the majority of my work on my WP+WPMultiSite+BP website I see a new WordPress update pop up. Oy!
So, any thoughts on the impact of WP updates? Should I simply update the minute it pops up like I do on other sites? Or should I wait for a shakedown from BP to be certain the update won’t whack my site?
Just curious to know how others have handled this.
I work with local mirrors on MAMP Pro. This is what I do :
1. Copy the remote files (the whole install) to my local machine (I do this so the file creation dates are the same).
2. Backup the remote database with phpMyAdmin (be sure to select Add DROP TABLE) as a gzip file.
3. Edit the local copy of wp-config.php for my local machine’s database connection.
4. Create a new local database and import the remote backup (I personally always destroy the local db and create a new empty one to import into – then I know it’s clean).
5. Use this tool to change all absolute URLs from remote to local: http://spectacu.la/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
Then I’ll test new plugins locally before deploying. Also I update plugins locally, and then manually copy them to the server, having had a few past failures updating plugins on production servers. Once it’s running, the only files I normally have to backup from remote to local are all in wp-content (avatars etc., which can easily be sync’d).
Hope that helps.

Add that to your CSS file
I’m new to Buddypress and would like first to make changes in my machine to be sure everything looks right and provide a better user experience. I do not like editing “live” my theme, plugins and updates because I always have users online.
So MAMP seemed a good option to run a local server on my MacBook.
What I did was to install MAMP and then do a new wordpress install and add the buddypress plugin to this install which started from zero. This is my lab where I test different themes and plugins.
There are a few problems however:
1) This local MAMP version is different from what I currently have online. So my changes almost never look the same.
2) Starting from zero, I was not able to import my Buddypress groups, forums, user data. The maximum I got was the import of a few blog posts (but not the forum, where all the content is)
I wonder if you can help me.
Is there a good way to import my current buddypress to my local machine? I’d like to have a carbon copy, a mirror of the current website…
Thanks
I have installed and configured buddypress on my site. Plugin is really excellent. There is a modification I will like to do. Can I change the text on the profile page to cap locks, to make it easier to read OR how can i change the default setting from
I posted to http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2982
/bp-themes/bp-default/single.php has a wrong function and format to show the next and/or previous post link.
[ Original ]
<div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link( __( ‘? Previous Entries’, ‘buddypress’ ) ) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link( __( ‘Next Entries ?’, ‘buddypress’ ) ) ?></div>
Should be
[ Changed to ]
<div class=”alignleft”><?php next_post_link(‘%link’, __( ‘? Previous Entries’, ‘buddypress’ ) ) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php previous_post_link(‘%link’, __( ‘Next Entries ?’, ‘buddypress’ ) ) ?></div>
However, this still will collapse the format of page, thus I recommend:
[ Changed to ]
<table>
<tr><td class=”alignleft”>
<?php previous_post_link(‘%link’, ‘? %title’) ?>
</td><td class=”alignright”>
<?php next_post_link(‘%link’, ‘%title ?’) ?>
</td></tr>
</table>
Note that %title can be changed to the default of “__( ‘? Previous Entries’, ‘buddypress’ )” and “__( ‘Next Entries ?’, ‘buddypress’ )”
I am also having this problem on a brand new WP/BuddyPress/ GenesisConnect:StudioPress installation.
Groups Create, Forum Topics do not.
@peternemser no, because it is not in the default theme.
If you prefer, create a child theme of bp-default theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/, then copy the header.php of the bp-default theme into your child theme folder, then add this in `
`
`
<li class=”selected”>
<a href="” title=””>
`
The benefit of the “custom code” in functions.php is that you don’t have to copy over the header.php to your child theme folder.
I will like pay somebody to help me fix this.
I want to add this the link to buddypress with out adding custom code. Is this not possible?
Thanks @hnla good to know. Been using above code for a long time, was too lazy to type /wp-admin 
@twig what code did you add that’s not working?
@justbishop. I got it working
Here is what I did in BP-newb terms:
Created a blank php doc in the wp-content/plugins folder named bp-custom.php
(You need to set up this blank doc with this: http://pastebin.com/GM269f2H)
Between that paste :
http://pastebin.com/Ct0HZV00
Then in the single.php of your these paste the following where you want the favourites to show
http://pastebin.com/3Pa7WUAV
Then just copy over the CSS from the normal favourites button and you should be good to go, I hope…
PS – you can view it on my site here – http://members.dropdeadgorgeousdaily.com
haven’t tried adding it to other sites on the MU install, fingers crossed that works too!
