@Tammie Lister They are great plugins but just not what im looking for. The only thing I need is a 5-star rating at a member profile page.
I have made a wordpress plugin compatible with buddypres, and, although the frontpage is as I whished, with the template Arras, now, the activity, profile, and all related pages with buddypress are really odd, with no style, only the header, and pure links without any style, If you know what I’m saying.
So I wonder what files should I touch, or edit the css, to have the pages like the Buddypress default theme but with the colors and style of my edited Arras one.
Is there a way to receive buddypress forum notifications via email? If somebody has participated in forum discussion, he/she should be able to subscribe to that discussion (via email) , like in this case, I should be able to receive response to this discussion on email.
Is there a plugin to do so?
Thanks so much mercime I was looking for something like that. The journalists blogs is something I already knew how to do it, but the style in forums and buddypress related things was killing me. Time to CSS!

THANKS FOR COOPERATION
I have none of these details, but I do know HyperDB works with BuddyPress. It is in use on this site.
sorry guys, my mistake, actually, partial mistake of @pcwriter too 
in your plugin “adminbar…” you have changed words “Blogs Directory” to “Member Blogs”. Therefor, words can not be translated, because BP POT does not include such words. If I change “Member Blogs” back to “Blogs Directory” in core of your plugin, everything is translated well.
P.S. haven’t checked yet, but I think that the same issue will be with words “Group Forums”.
thanks to all!
Blogs: You have to enable multisite in your WP install first before you can let journalists create their own blogs. Read how to https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
Template Pack: Here’s a BP Template Pack walkthrough which could shed some light on how to add styles – https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
Basically, you copy some styling from bp-default theme and tweak it to taste.
I absolutely agree! I really think the lack of a front end post method is still a disadvantage of buddypress vs other social media creation tools. I´ll definitelly check more of your plugin! One question about it, is it able to use a wysiwyg editor? it would be really good to be able to have the same functionality as we have in the backend (such as using tinyMCE) to include pictures in the post without the need for shortcodes, as most users should not be expected to learn this method, and most members of my sites are used to visual and more accessible image posting methods in their post on other social sites. I will head on now to theidea topic and check it out! keep this plugin going! how can we help?
Rubbish title , apologies!
I’m at a junction as to whether Multisite with Buddypress can actually do what I thought it could do and would appreciate some advice:
I’m looking to configure ….
Members of a top level site to be able to create member blogs, where these blogs serve a sub-community with similar Buddypress features to that of the top level site.
Importantly content posted and membership information is aggregated up to the top level site from the member blog but at this member blog level members who register (or join via an invitation) are the only ones listed as members (ie. NOT the member list of the wider community).
Also I really wanted the ability to allow all member blogs to manage their own Buddypress groups that are visible and managed at this member blog level (not the potential for an unorganised mass of groups at the top level site).
Note. However members should not be allowed to create sub blogs themselves from their own site (just 2 levels of blogs and then a group level).
In Summary a hierarchy that serves similar functions only to members at that level:
Main Site Member Blog Buddypress Group
Main Community –> sub communityA –> groupA1
–> groupA2
–> etc…
–> sub communityB –> groupB1
–> groupB2
–> etc…
–> etc…
<————————Content aggregation and membership visibility
Can I do this or am I banging my head against a brick wall for good reason?
If it can be done how would one set-up Buddypress particularly and how is registration and visibility of members managed on sub blogs?
If this isnt possible can I get close to this set-up by various means?
Hi,
I have a wordpress site with about 400 members that I have just added buddypress to. I really need to add all of the members to one or two of the newly form groups. Ideally to I would be able to create a friendship or two programmatically as well. I’ve looked for a plugin that will do this but can’t see anything. Is there a query that I could run through mySQL that would do the trick – I can find the IDs of the groups I want them to join, I just need to know how to get the table to create the rows (not done anything directly in a database since MS Access 2003!!, but willing to give it a shot.)
Many thanks
Nathan
And how can I do that? Because it’s not in the buddypress options, I infer I should do a lot of coding.
Now I’m testing with a wordpress installation in my root xxx.com and a WordPress Magazine theme made compatible with @AndyPeatling Theme Pack plugin. But the tricky bussiness is that now, although it works fine, I don’t have a style in the buddypress things, as the theme is not designed to work with it, and I’m a bit lost of how to stylize these parts.
I believe that constant sets the default page for the /members/admin profile link, not the root of the site. In the current version of BuddyPress you will have to write some custom code to set forums as your front page, but in the upcoming 1.3 version we have fixed this in core.
If that’s the case, put a ticket on http://trac.buddypress.org for an enhancement please
Regardless of how you are using multisite, if you enable BuddyPress on one of those sites, it will be active across the entire network*. There is no segration of content.
*It is possible to force it to run only on one site, but you can still only run one BuddyPress site per WordPress installation (at the moment).
@Andrea_r actually I thought about that. The thing is, groups offer 80% of my needed functionality (I need to have ‘projects’ in a system that people can ‘subscribe’ to and discuss in a Forum). What I miss is the functionality of being able to add more content to ‘projects’ (groups): they can have ‘Documents’ through the Group Documents plugin, I can review/rate them through the Group Review/Like plugin, but I need to be able to have more (subpages) of content, with e.g. images etc. Indeed: like a regular Blog post or Page. Using those, though, would not give me all the Group functionality.
That’s why I though @dwenaus‘ Group Pages plugin will be perfect.
I am quite new to BP so maybe you or @dwenaus have a better way to deal with this than Groups or know of a good plugin?
When i click on activate buddypress i got error
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /var/www/vhosts/my-domain-name/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups.php on line 92
what is that and how fix it?
Thank you @hnla!
Your suspicions were correct. My bb-config.php carried the old DB values.
On another note, as I used the option “reinstall with an existing bbpress directory”. No files should have been modified right? Curious whether my little miss step could have damaged my buddypress install…. (duplication of files etc)
Best regards
@w3prodigy: did you ever get this sorted out?
@techguy trying to figure out if I fall into the “many other people” category..
I have one install of WordPress MU with 3 blogs, one for each of my 3 domains (domain1.com, domain2.com, domain3.com). Username and passwords are shared across all 3 domains.
I want to add Buddypress. How would that work? A single Buddypress site (ie. a shared list of all groups) or would the domains be segmented somehow (ie. domain1.com would only see groups for domain1.com?) I don’t see any options to control the behavior.
@nahummadrid, I really like that idea. So,
If an exsisting user goes to example.com, they see a simple login prompt: Username/Password.
They enter their user/pass and they are automatically redirected to the ‘section’ (or installation subdomain) of the BP website. Each ‘section’ is independent, and no information is transfered between any ‘sections.’
That’s what I want.
…. This all sounds very exciting!
Any edits to the core of buddypress will be lost when you upgrade. Not a great idea.
Hi –
Kind of bumping into a little wall which I’m sure there’s some easy solution (as I can’t get a hold of the person who initially installed BP into my WP instance).
I have a new classifieds section which I would like for buddypress forums directories to fall under subcategories in that directory. Makes it easy for me to have my classifieds parent page pull information of new forums as they are created.
Is this an easy task where I’m just overlooking some setting which needs to be tweaked to put it instead of being a parent directory into a category? please assist.
