Is there someone who we can hire to fix this? It’s important that we fix this ASAP as our marketing campaign has just begun.
@r-a-y do you have any ideas? Thank you for any help anyone can bring.
Try activating Twenty Ten theme and see if the BuddyPress theme fixes itself.
After a manual install of buddypress, I went appearance / themes and found this message at the bottom of the page:
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
buddypress Stylesheet is missing.
Ideas anyone?

I hope someone can help me. I’m running into this problem, mentioned in this ticket:
http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2642
Essentially, every time a new user registers, they have a -2 added to their username. So when someone clicks on their profile link which doesn’t contain the -2 at the end, it redirects to the front page because the system doesn’t recognize the username.
I believe it’s already discussed here:
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-changing-profile-urls-when-profile-is-updated/
However, no workaround or solution was proposed. Is there a fix? Patch? Workaround? It’s becoming tedious for me to get into my database each time someone registers in order to remove the -2 at the end of their username.
@travel-junkie I am in the united states and would love to purchase the plugin. I went to the site and tried but it kept asking for a domain license when I tried to add it to the cart. What is that? and do I need it? also what is the conversion rate for US dollars? thanks
@mercime thanks for dropping those links…but I’m aware of sharing activities with these types of plugins. I’m talking about actually pinging the tweet at the time a user Posts an Update. The buddy stream plugin was doing it at some point but that plugin is a little to TOO much for what I’m looking for plus I don’t think it does it anymore last I checked(today). All I need is just a simple Tweet this checkbox and maybe even send to facebook at the same moment the user Posts the Update.
Is it possible to use the buddypress template back on a secondary blog? Would it affect the main or root blog of the site or will it know to only go after the secondary.
Also would the template i’m using for the secondary blog need to be installed in the main blogs themes section or should it be within the buddypress plugin themes eg. where buddypress default template is.
Thanks!

@desha, You’re welcome. You add new style in active theme’s style.css file.
Hi,
I’m running the newest version of wordpress on multi site with subdirectories and buddypress 1.2.6.
Buddypress is installed on a secondary install. My avatars are working fine in buddypress itself but they don’t work in my main blog.
I made a test comment on an article and it allows me to comment but where the avatar should be there is just an empty image.
So for whatever reason the path to the avatars is not working correctly. I’ve searched the forums but didn’t find anything that would fix my problem.
All the help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
EOR
I’m having the same problem.
On an older (v. 1.2.5.2) BuddyPress site on it’s own WordPress (3.0.1) install I was able to upload avatars just fine.
Now, on the latest BuddyPress (v. 1.2.6) driven subdomain on a WordPress (3.0.1) network site, I’m having this upload problem. The error message specifically is:
“Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /group-avatars/1. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”
Seems like a bug in the latest version. As @BionicClick pointed out above, this very site (buddypress.org) has the same problem!
@tubruk: Be sure to enable “BuddyPress compatibility” on the plugin settings page 
Ultimately, I went into the code and commented out that line. That resolved it.
@boonebgorges I got it working….it was white space in the php. I did a search and others had the same issue. Something so small can turn into hours of hair pulling. I am for sure getting a crash course in php, but loving it. Thanks again and I think everything is the way I need it for now…but then again I still need much more testing under all possibilities.
One question…can you set up the form so only logged in users can see it?
Also, are there any examples of buddypress in a single user wordpress environment?
there are several plugins you can find on wordpress.org plugins for frontend posting, there is even a buddypress frontend posting plugin around here somewhere.
you could also use http://gravityforms.com which is the premium route.
or you could do it yourself http://wpshout.com/wordpress-submit-posts-from-frontend/
ah and there is the option where you can leave access to the dashboard and just css the heck out of it to make it look like the frontend.
I like both the gravity forms and dashboard theming options.
Hi, I’ve been using buddypress for a forum and so far it worked great.
However I have a small problem, the search option only searches inside the thread name, but not inside the thread content.
Since users often use the search function to make sure not to ask the same question, I wonder what options are there to integrating a search that looks inside thread content.
Thanks!
Maybe yo can try the Ucan post plugin http://cartpauj.com/projects/ucan-post-plugin/ . I’m not a hardcore buddypress user so I can’t help you with a BP only solution.
I’m pretty new to BuddyPress, so please be kind
I am developing: http://www.elonscloset.com using BP 1.2.5.2
I have disabled access to the Dashboard for all members except admins, but want all logged in users to be able to create a blog post (in addition to their activity posts), as I will be soliciting articles, etc. from them.
I have created a page to display the posts (Articles).
Here’s the question: how do I create a page where they can add and/or edit them, without giving them access to the Dashboard?
Thanks in advance!
Diana
Hello people.
BPs awesome!
I have just installed it but have some quick question for the experts. I am not very advanced with Buddypress or coding so please be patient.
Ok, so my site is http://www.ustake.me/portal/
This is the Dynamix theme, it is BP compatible. This theme has a Dropdown panel menu (click on the blue arrow at the search box or the community button in the navi) on its own which is quite similar to the Sliding BP bar from Sarah Gooding. (http://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/new-sliding-ajax-login-panel-plugin-for-buddypress/)
Is there any way to implement the panel from Sarah into the one from the theme?
Which files I have to edit? What I have to copy&paste from where?
In the settings menu of the theme dropdownpenal, there are for columns which I can fill with widgets or custom HTML.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english, I hope it’s understandable.
Sorry for the crosspost. I posted this thrad into the home section on the “wall” from this group. 
If there is anyone who would customize the buddypress installation to my wishes, please send me an email: s7efan@gmail.com (obv we can talk about payment)
Kind Regards
-Stefan
Or, you might want to install the BP Wire plugin (ala Facebook wall)
@boonebgorges works perfect! thanks. I have hopefully one last issue that completely has me stumped. It works on my testing machine, but when I put it live I get errors. It has to do with me including the above idea but using my own custom data table. I insert my own form and add it with the function like above and put my own processing in the save function like above using the standard insert/update sql pointing to the new table for the form. It works on my local machine, but when I upload it live and click on ” create group” i get the following error….sorry for all the code

I am working in a child theme and I am at my ends trying to fix this. I am so close to what I want to do I just would hate to give up now. thanks for any tips you can give me.
Via CSS – add `body.groups #item-actions { display: none; }`
or
create bp-default child theme and copy over groups/single/group-header.php following folder structure and delete lines 3-21
