He’s using the Ultimate Blogging Theme: http://www.ultimatebloggingtheme.com/
@cmubrad – I don’t know all of the details of that theme but the easiest is to install the site wide activity plugin and use a widget in the sidebar.
helpppppppppppp

so do you recommend this plugin for an online site???
@boonebgorges Once again thanks for the help. I used the code above but noticed that the database dose not take in the data when the group is created. It will only work if once the group is created and then I re-enter the information in the “country” form and the submit that the database updates with the new information. My only thought is that when the group is being created it yet has an ID so it causes an issue. Any thoughts?
my website has a problem with registration. I try to register on my website with filling out the form and submit, to make my account active I have to log in to my email to click some link activation, after click link activation I success to active my account but when I log in to my buddypress with account that just registered, my website ask another validation code,
But everything is going well when I click the page on my website, this is my website orbitgym.com. is there anyone out there who willing to help my problem?
FYI : I am using some facebook plugin so anyone can log in with their facebook account, is that the source of the problem?
Buddypress Sidebar! This plugin enables you to have multiple sidebars for Buddypress. Create new sidebars that are unique to each page.
WOW !! my site is back!! but when I change back the plugins folder back to “plugins”, “not found” again!
How can I root out the cause? it should be related to buddypress installed wrongly
Anyway, thanks so much!
Sure. In terms of WordPress user roles, WordPress cares only about two – admins, and everyone else. Admins can of course do everything, and everyone else can do everything *that BuddyPress provides*.
I will check into what the “blocked” role does, and if need be, I’ll patch BuddyPress. I’ll update this thread later.
@DJPaul
I am not yet sure but corrections of message time in InBox or some other plugins related to activity stream may be the source of my mentioned problem, because the new BuddyPress site that I made with WP3.0.1 with only buddypress plugin shows the right time.
I am still investigating the reason and the source of this problem.
You might want bbpress instead
Desha – good question. Paul – thanks for chiming in. What’s confusing, however, is that if I leave the “subscriber” role selected as the default for new users as part of the WP admin panel, a new user can still access the admin panel (and perform the normal Buddypress participation activities also). That said, if I select “blocked.” the user cannot see the /wp-admin console at all, but can still interact with the social/buddypress features …
Could you please provide some insight on why/how that happens?
Thanks again — great plugin!
Hi,
When I start typing a name in the ”Send To” field for a private message, the dropdown to select the user names appears to be a set of blank rows instead of user names and then when I select one anyhow, I get some html code filled in as the user. Is this a known bug? I have not been successful at finding a thread for this.
I am using WP 3.0.1 and the most current version of BuddyPress.
Thank you.
The easiest is to modify the php files in your theme as well as the css files.
In particular, I modified the /activity/index.php file by removing the sidebar code near the bottom of the file.
“
Blog posts are done by having a template file written without a sidebar also.
Finally, adjust the container and padder css to your liking.
@mercime, I’m not sure what was causing it, but once I created a child theme from Citizen Kane, I found that the header image from the bp-default theme was showing up behind the custom header image I uploaded (it has a transparent background so I could see behind it). I was trying different things, so I don’t know what was causing it. But sorry about the confusing post.
@modemlooper, the code you posted is what was left after I cut out lines 54-80. I also cut out line 84 as @mercime suggested. I put it back because it was in the code you posted but it didn’t seem to make a difference. Thanks both of you for your help though, it works now.
@Jenny, you might want to check out the BP-WP Navbar Menu plugin. It lets you customize the bp admin bar and you can add all your bp links under a drop-down menu (labelled “Community” by default).
Hi (and thank you in advance for your replies),
I would like to have a WordPress page where every member on my site can participate in an open discussion. I do not want them to have to (explicitly) join any group or do anything special. Essentially, it is like a wall where everyone can contribute, with the most recent posting at the top (and the input field also at the top). Is there a way to use BuddyPress to do this?
Thank you.
Hi jwack: I’m using S2Member for my membership plugin, and it takes over BP reggie and sign up files in its own way, so I hesitate to respond from my own knowledge. But, I found this video http://wordpress.tv/2010/07/10/sabin-wilson-buddypress-boulder10/ by Lisa Sabin-Wilson that may be helpful for you, in understanding the page structure.
I’m reading her BuddyPress for Dummies now, but I just started and so am still, basically, a dummy;-)
good luck!
Great, thanks for your reply
It will fit most any theme with some modification to the HTML and possibly CSS. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
Hi, I was wondering if the BuddyPress Template Pack http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/ really makes any WP theme compatible with BuddyPress. As I would like to purchase a not free premium theme I want to be sure this plugin works well. Thanks for your help.
I have upgraded to BP 1.2.6. I’m getting the same error above. Any ideas?
Heya,
I just installed buddypress on my website http://www.urban-snapshot.com . What I can’t seem to figure out is how to get the sidebar off the bottom of the page. It crams it into the bottom making everything look messy – I only want it to show up on pages with posts. Is there any way I can make buddypress pages the same as my home page where the sidebar doesn’t show up?
Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

I mean that if I click the Main Activity Tab it I go to the activity page with “no filter” as the default and a blank Within field. If I select Within: 750Km, it shows me all activity of members (and I assume groups) within 750km. Brilliant.
But, if I try and filter further and just look for blog posts within 750km, it breaks and shows me ALL blog posts. The “Within” filter seems to only work if there is no other filter selected.
Hi guys,
I have been developing a social community portal for myself and my friends. Everything was working perfectly till yesterday. But suddenly something went wrong and profile link, Edit link, change avtar link stopped working. They all started redirecting to home page.
I have added some custom fields to registration and changed base profile group name. I am not sure what else would be causing this error. I am using latest version of wordpress and was using olde version of buddypress but after this problem there was a suggestion about upgrading buddypress. I did so still the problem persists.
Please guide me what could be the problem. I have searched through the forum but i havent found any solution for this problem as such.
Regards,
Sam.
